Hidden Rules Comparison
FTMO (6 rules)
π΄ Best Day Rule (1-Step Only)
On 1-Step FTMO Challenge, your most profitable day cannot exceed 50% of your total Positive Days' Profit. This doesn't breach your account but you must trade until the ratio drops below 50%.
π΄ 1-Step: 3% Daily Loss Limit
The 1-Step FTMO Challenge has a stricter 3% daily loss limit (vs 5% for 2-Step). The daily loss recalculates based on previous day's closing balance.
π΄ 1-Step: Dynamic Max Loss (Trailing)
The 1-Step Max Loss limit trails your highest end-of-day balance upward (but never downward). This makes it a semi-trailing drawdown, stricter than the fixed 2-Step drawdown.
π‘ News Trading Restrictions
1-Step Challenge allows news trading freely. On the FTMO Account (funded), Standard accounts cannot trade during news. Swing accounts have no restrictions.
π΄ Simulated Trading Environment
FTMO accounts are simulated (demo) accounts. You never trade with real capital β profits are paid from FTMO's revenue, not from actual market trades.
π‘ Inactivity Termination
Accounts inactive for 30+ days may be terminated without refund.
FundedNext (5 rules)
π’ 15% Challenge Phase Profit Share
FundedNext pays 15% of profits earned during the challenge phase (Stellar 1-Step and 2-Step) upon your first funded payout. Unique in the industry.
π΄ 1-Step: 3% Daily / 6% Max
Stellar 1-Step has only 3% daily loss and 6% max loss β much tighter than the 2-Step's 5%/10%. Easy to confuse.
π΄ Stellar Express: Trailing 6% Drawdown
Stellar Express uses a trailing drawdown (not static). 6% max loss with no daily limit. Different from other Stellar programs.
π΄ Futures: 40% Consistency Rule
FundedNext Futures accounts have a 40% consistency rule: no single day's profit can exceed 40% of total profit. CFD programs have no consistency rule.
π΄ Futures: 2% Daily / 4% Max
FundedNext Futures evaluation has tighter rules than CFD: only 2% daily loss ($1,000) and 4% max loss ($2,000) on $50K account.
