FundedNext Trading Rules & Guidelines

‍

To maintain a fair and secure trading environment, FundedNext has established strict trading rules. Below is an overview of the most important guidelines.

‍

1. Prohibited Trading StrategiesFundedNext prohibits any trading strategies that exploit the platform, manipulate market conditions, or deviate from real trading environments. The following trading strategies are strictly forbidden:

• High-Frequency Trading (HFT): Using automated systems, bots, or expert advisors to execute an excessive number of trades within milliseconds.
• Quick Strike Method: Opening and closing trades in an extremely short time frame to take advantage of fleeting price fluctuations.
• Latency Arbitrage: Exploiting delays in trade execution or market data to gain an unfair advantage.
• Copy Trading from Others: Traders are only allowed to copy trades from accounts owned by themselves. Copy trading between different individuals (friends, relatives, or third parties) is strictly prohibited.
• Hedging Across Multiple Accounts: Hedging is only permitted within the same account. Placing opposite trades across multiple accounts to reduce risk is not allowed.
• Arbitrage Trading: Exploiting price discrepancies between different markets or platforms to generate risk-free profits.
• Tick Scalping: Engaging in ultra-short-term scalping strategies that rely on minimal price changes within seconds.
• Grid Trading: Placing multiple buy and sell orders at different price levels to take advantage of price swings, which can create excessive risk.
• Gambling Behavior: Executing trades based on luck rather than structured analysis or risk management.
• Account Rolling: Using multiple accounts to bypass trading rules, reset drawdowns, or gain unfair advantages.
• One-Sided Betting: Continuously taking trades in the same direction without a structured strategy, often relying on luck rather than analysis.
• Hyperactivity: Placing an excessive number of trades beyond what is considered reasonable trading behavior.
• Use of Platform or Data Freezing Due to Demo Server Errors: Exploiting server glitches, freezing prices, or delayed data to manipulate trades.

Violations of these rules may lead to trade reversals, warnings, account restrictions, or termination.

2. News Trading Policy

FundedNext’s news trading policy varies depending on the challenge type:

• Evaluation, Stellar, and Stellar Lite Challenges: News trading is allowed in both the Challenge and Funded Accounts.
• Express Challenge: News trading is restricted—traders may not open or close trades 5 minutes before and after major news events.

Violating the news trading policy may result in account termination or penalties.

‍

3. Reckless Trading Behavior

FundedNext prohibits trading behavior that resembles gambling or exposes accounts to excessive risk:

• Overleveraging: Using excessive margin, increasing the risk of liquidation from minor price movements.
• All-In Strategies: Risking an entire or significant portion of the account balance on a single trade.
• Martingale Trading: Increasing trade sizes after a loss in an attempt to recover quickly.
• Excessive High-Frequency Scalping: Opening and closing trades rapidly without a long-term strategy.

Traders engaging in these practices may receive warnings, have their trades removed, or face account termination.

Adhering to these guidelines is crucial for maintaining account eligibility. Violations can lead to penalties, trade removals, or complete account suspension. For the most up-to-date and detailed information, refer to FundedNext’s official Terms of Service and FAQ section.
