3. Minimum Trading Days: 5 Days, 5 Trades

You must place trades on at least 5 separate trading days, with a minimum of 1 trade per day in each phase.

  • No need for consecutive days

  • No maximum number of trades

4. Copy Trading Policy

  • Allowed between Challenge Accounts owned by the same trader.

  • Prohibited between accounts owned by different individuals.

Traders can merge FundedNext Accounts instead of copy trading for easier management, with a maximum allocation of $300,000.

5. IP Address Usage

It’s strongly recommended to use one device with a single IP address to ensure security and data consistency.

6. VPN/VPS Usage

Using a VPN or VPS with a dedicated IP is highly recommended for stable and secure trading, especially if you're accessing your account from different locations.

7. EAs & Indicators

While cTrader Automate (cAlgo) supports C#-based algorithmic strategies, FundedNext does not allow automated or algorithmic trading. Only built-in cTrader indicators are permitted; third-party indicators are not. Traders can only place and manage trades manually.

8. Restricted Trading Strategies

Any form of cheating, latency exploitation, or platform manipulation is strictly prohibited. Be sure to read and follow the Terms of Service (TOS) to avoid any breaches. To get more information regarding restricted trading strategies, kindly click here.
