General Rules
Every rule, every condition, published before you start your challenge. Same rules for every trader.
Prohibited Strategies
These behaviors give an unfair edge over the simulated market or other traders. Every one of them is enforced the same way for every trader.
Latency, Gap, or External-Feed Trading
Exploiting price delays, slow data feeds, or external feeds to generate risk-free profit.
Arbitrage Trading
Any form of arbitrage that relies on pricing differences across platforms.
High Frequency Trading
Use of high-frequency trading bots, mass order placement, or AI-driven patterns designed to exploit the platform.
Tick Scalping & Quick Strike
Executing trades held for only a few seconds, especially when patterns resemble system-abuse strategies.
Grid Trading
Placing stacked buy/sell orders at fixed intervals without proper risk management logic.
One-Sided Betting
Highly concentrated directional trades with no exit strategy, where outcomes depend entirely on a single market move.
Group / Cross-Account Hedging
Opening mirrored or opposing positions across multiple FundedNext accounts or external accounts.
Account Sharing
Allowing another individual to trade your account, or trading on behalf of someone else.
Account Rolling
Purchasing multiple challenges with the intent of passing one by chance rather than skill.
Third-Party Copy Trading / Signals
Using copy trading from accounts not owned by you, or engaging in for-hire account management services.
Change in trading behavior
Executing trades with Lot sizes or frequency that significantly deviate from your typical trading behavior.
Unauthorized VPS / EAs Usage
Using a VPS or Expert Advisor (EAs) without prior approval through official FundedNext add-ons.
These behaviors give an unfair edge over the simulated market or other traders. Every one of them is enforced the same way for every trader.

Gambling-Style Behaviour
Practices that are not replicable in live market scenarios are not permissible.
Gambling Behavior covers any trading conduct that prioritizes chance over disciplined risk management, including One-Sided Betting, all-In positions that risk the full or near-full daily loss limit on one or several trades, excessive margin usage (70% or more cumulative), overleveraging, and reactive trades placed without proper market, fundamental, or technical analysis.
Platform Exploitation
Using platform bugs, latency, or pricing errors to secure profit leads to immediate account suspension.
This includes exploiting demo-server errors, deliberately operating during data-feed freezes, and using guaranteed-fill conditions that don't exist in real markets. We monitor for these patterns automatically and review flagged activity manually before any action is taken.
Enforcement Policy
Breaches of these rules may result in the cancellation of services without refund. These rules apply equally to all traders.
