Competition

The FundedNext Trading Competition is a monthly event designed to provide traders from all backgrounds with an opportunity to participate in a competitive and open challenge. This competition enables participants to showcase their trading skills and offers exclusive prizes as rewards. It’s important to note that participation in the FundedNext Trading Competition is entirely free of charge, without any associated fees or expenses.

The competition commences on the 1st day of each month and concludes on the last day of the same month, allowing traders to engage in a month-long test of their trading prowess. To ensure fair and transparent competition, the event enforces a set of rules that all participants must adhere to. These rules include:

  • Single Account Registration: Each participant can register only one account, using a unique email address and IP address. Attempting to register multiple accounts results in disqualification.
  • Daily Drawdown Limit: Traders should not exceed a daily loss limit of 5% of their initial account balance. The calculation for this limit is as follows: Daily loss limit = (Last day’s Balance – Today’s Balance) / Equity.
  • Maximum Allowable Drawdown: The competition establishes a maximum allowable drawdown of 10% of the initial balance, and participants are required to stay within this limit.
  • Prohibited Use of EAs: Expert Advisors (EAs) are not permitted in the competition. Participants must engage in manual trading only.
  • Minimum Trading Days: To be eligible for winning prizes, participants must actively trade for a minimum of 5 days during the competition period.
  • Leverage: The competition follows standard leverage levels of 1:100 for all FX pairs, 1:30 for commodities and indices and 1:2 for cryptocurrencies.
  • Position and Lot Size Limits: Traders are encouraged to open multiple positions, but they are limited to executing a maximum of 5 positions at any given time. Lot size limits are set at 5 lots for FX instruments and 3 lots for indices and commodities.
  • Trade Closure: There are no restrictions on closing trades, and traders can opt to hold positions overnight or over the weekend.

It’s important to note that the competition runs continuously throughout the entire month without scheduled resets. Daily calculations, including the daily drawdown, are reset at 00:00 GMT+3, but this doesn’t affect participants’ overall trading progress or account balance.

The FundedNext Trading Competition offers rewards to participants based on their performance. The top 100 traders, as well as those ranked from 101st to 600th, have the chance to win various rewards.
