FundedNext Futures

One published clock, and it is a guarantee: “FundedNext Futures processes Performance Reward within 24 hours from the moment a trader submits a withdrawal request through the FundedNext Dashboard”, during which “the Operations Team completes internal checks and initiates the withdrawal, followed by a confirmation email with proof”. The Brand Promise adds $1,000 to the reward if that is missed — “If processing exceeds 24 hours, $1,000 is added to the Performance Reward” — excluding “delays caused by incorrect withdrawal details, manual processing, or withdrawal method–related issues”. Because the 24 hours runs to initiation rather than to settlement, FundedNext publishes no separate timeframe for the transfer itself. The homepage claims a 4-hour average processing time and “99.99% processed within 24 hours”. Profit is moved to a wallet first and then withdrawn from the dashboard's “Payout” section, minimum $250, and “once trading is started, no withdrawals can be requested before the EOD”.

Late, and once per profile rather than per account: “KYC is only required before your first Performance Reward withdrawal”, in the order “Pass Challenge → Sign Agreement → Start KYC → Submit ID (and address proof if requested)”. Verification is profile-level and “covering both CFDs and Futures product lines simultaneously”. The help centre says it “typically takes 24–48 hours once documents are submitted” while the Futures Challenge Terms say the process “may take 48-72 hours” — both are published and they disagree. Documents must be government-issued and current (“KYC verification shall not be completed if expired documents are provided”); the check is run by third parties (“Veriff, Sumsub, or other equivalent providers”) and “KYC verification must be conducted solely by the individual account holder”. Failing it “shall result in the rejection of the Counterparty's FundedNext Account application”. US persons additionally submit a W-9 before the first withdrawal request, reviewed automatically by Avalara, and “without a valid W-9 on file, withdrawals stay blocked until the W-9 is approved”; a 1099-NEC is issued when withdrawals exceed $600 in a calendar year. Non-US traders submit no tax form. Current profile-level policy requires KYC renewal every 90 days after approval. Expired or pending KYC permits trading but blocks reward requests. Driving licences are accepted only for US, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand traders; other accepted IDs are national ID, passport or permanent residence permit, plus a liveness check. Requested address proof must be issued within three months. Nigeria allows five submission attempts, other countries three.

“Trading runs every day from 5:00 PM CT to 3:10 PM CT the following day. The market stays closed from 3:10 PM CT to 5:00 PM CT”, and “The market closes Friday at 3:10 PM CT and reopens Sunday at 5:00 PM CT.” The daily loss limit resets at the 5:00 PM CT session open, and after a daily-loss-limit breach “trading resumes at the next trading session open at 5 PM CT”. Dashboard metrics update in real time with some end-of-day figures recalculated “typically after 5:00 PM CT”. A separate price-limit rule closes off part of the range rather than the clock: “traders must not trade within 2% of the CME Price Limit”, and violations “may result in profit deductions, trading restrictions, or account suspension”.

“An individual user may have up to 5 active FundedNext Accounts at any time”, and separately “a household is also restricted to 5 active FundedNext Accounts at any time”, where a household is “family members or multiple users sharing the same address or IP” — the household cap is an additional constraint, not a second allowance. A further throttle allows “a maximum of 10 FundedNext Accounts… issued to a user within a calendar month”. Challenge (evaluation) accounts are capped by money rather than by count: “Up to $750,000 total allocation”, with “no limit on Challenges you can purchase per month” and resets “unlimited up to the maximum allocation”; FundedNext publishes no account-count cap on Challenges. Sizes can be mixed and matched within the limits, and FundedNext states the allocation limits “are subject to periodic review and may be adjusted at FundedNext’s discretion”.

Non-refundable without exception, and the Futures Challenge Terms say so more forcefully than the help centre. Terms Section 4.1: “All transactions are final and non-refundable. By purchasing any service or product, including the Challenge, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that they are not entitled to a refund under any circumstances due to the inherent costs incurred by the Provider.” The stated reason is third-party cost incurred at purchase (“the creation of challenge accounts, data feed fees, and other technology”), which is also why accounts cannot be paused. Terminating access is possible by request to support@fundednext.com but “does not entitle the Customer to any form of refund, in part or in full” (4.3), and no refund follows termination for prohibited practices (4.4) or a chargeback (4.6). Raising a payment dispute pauses the trading account and lets FundedNext withhold or offset pending Performance Rewards; reversing that takes “45 to 60 business days” after proof of withdrawal of the dispute. The help centre agrees in one line: “All fees paid for purchases or resets in FundedNext Futures are strictly non-refundable.” There is no cooling-off window of any length.

Flex, Legacy, Rapid Pro and Rapid Daily use a 30-consecutive-calendar-day inactivity limit. Direct requires at least one trade during every Monday-to-Friday trading week. Missing that weekly requirement breaches the Direct account; Direct cannot be reset.

Current Rapid and Flex live review starts after 15 lifetime Performance Rewards, with discretionary selection and up to five live accounts. Returning live traders re-enter the pool after five rewards. Transitions occur after a payout cycle ends. Legacy and Rapid purchases before the July 10, 2026 cutover retain the former profit-distribution program. Live-country eligibility remains separate from simulated-account purchase eligibility.

Read from “Which symbols/instruments can I trade on FundedNext Futures?” (updated 2026-08-29), which lists products by exchange group: CME FX, CME Equity Futures, CME Agro, COMEX metals, CBOT agricultural and Dow Jones futures, and NYMEX energy. The list is not certified complete — the general-rules Symbols & Conditions page repeats the same categories but ends several of them with “and more”, so more contracts may be tradable than the 35 named here. Neither page publishes a tick size or point value for any contract. Contract sizing is governed by a fixed per-model, per-size contract limit that “does not increase as profits grow”; exceeding it is not an instant breach — “only the excess contracts are treated as violations”, with profit from them deducted while losses stand. E-mini and micro contracts may be mixed at a model-specific ratio (1:10 on Legacy, Flex and Rapid Pro/Daily; 1:5 on the retired Rapid; 1:3 on the retired Bolt). There is no margin requirement: “Trading is managed through contract limits instead of margin, and traders are not required to deposit personal funds.” Commissions are not set by FundedNext: they are an all-in rate per contract charged round-turn, made up of “the broker commission, exchange and NFA fees, and clearing fees”, with NinjaTrader's published rates cited as the commission component; no dollar rate is published on either page. The current commission help article links NinjaTrader’s retail schedule, dated August 14, 2026; its per-side ES/NQ all-in rates are $2.17 lifetime, $2.57 monthly and $2.87 free-plan, while MES/MNQ are $0.64/$0.84/$0.94. FundedNext does not identify which retail plan column applies to its accounts. The help example still uses NQ $2.88 per side, so it is an example rather than a verified current universal commission.
