FundedNext Futures Direct 50k: rules, price and payouts
A straight-to-funded $50,000 futures account — no evaluation. Getting funded costs $169.99 in total. Every rule and price verified on FundedNext's website on Sep 26, 2026.
The rules in plain English
- End-of-day trailing drawdown: the floor sits $2,000 below your highest end-of-day balance and moves up when you close a day at a new high (never down). Losses during the day only count at the close.
- Daily loss limit: $1,000 in one day.
- Consistency rule once funded: your best day can't be more than 20% of your total profit. Example: if your best day is $1,000, you need at least $5,000 of total profit.
- Position limit: 3 Minis or 30 Micros.
- Up to 5 funded accounts at once.
Evaluation
Funded account
Cost, first payout and what you keep
Three steps: what you spend until the first payout, what the first payout pays you, and the difference.
1What you spend until the first payout
Trading commissions aren't counted: the firm takes them from the account balance, not from your pocket.
2What the first payout pays you
Enter the profit in your funded account. We apply the buffer, the payout limit, your split and any fee.
You also need to meet: Consistency: 20% · Profit needed: $2,100 in the current cycle.
3What you keep after the first payout
Break-even: with $2,900 of profit in the funded account, the first payout pays back everything you spent. At the earliest, the first payout can be requested 5 days after purchase (passing at the first try on the fewest days the rules allow; the firm's processing time comes on top).
An estimate: later payouts can have different limits. Always check the firm's current rules.
