The same rules counted in trades instead of percent, for a strategy that risks a fixed share of the initial balance and takes profit at twice its risk. Losers are full 1R losses with no partial closes.

Read the daily row first. It is the rule that ends most challenges, because it counts a bad day, not a bad month - and losers cluster. Our risk-of-ruin table shows how often a given win rate produces a streak that long.
Tracked automatically - and what is not.
- Profit target per phase, measured on closed balance, so an open winner cannot pass a phase.
- Daily loss on live equity, floating P&L included, against the balance the day started with.
- Max loss on live equity against the phase's starting balance.
- Minimum trading days per phase - a day counts when a trade is placed on it.
- Leverage - margin is checked on every order.
Not modelled, specific to FundedNext:
- The Quick Strike rule is not enforced. Replay trading is bar by bar, so 30-second scalps are rare anyway - but if you trade M1 hard, keep them under 30% of profit yourself.
- FundedNext lists no time limit on either phase. The simulator has none either.
- FundedNext counts a trading day only if at least one trade is placed on it. The simulator counts the same way, by UTC calendar day.

Backtest FundedNext FAQ
Is this the real FundedNext challenge?
No. It is a simulation on historical data that loads FundedNext's published rules, so you can rehearse a challenge before paying for one. Nothing here is connected to FundedNext, and passing here does not give you a FundedNext account.
Is the simulated FundedNext challenge free?
Yes. The free plan includes one prop-firm challenge straight away and a second after day 3. Pro adds 10 now and 10 more after day 3; Ultra is unlimited. No card is needed to start.
Which markets can I run the FundedNext challenge on?
Any of the 105 instruments on FxBacktest - forex pairs, gold and silver, indices such as the Nasdaq and DAX, oil, crypto and US stocks - on every timeframe from one minute to monthly.
Can I change the FundedNext rules?
Yes. The preset only fills in the setup screen. Account size, number of phases, each phase target, daily and max loss, minimum days and leverage can all be edited before the challenge starts.
What account sizes does FundedNext offer?
Stellar accounts run from $6,000 to $200,000. The preset starts at $100,000; any size from $100 to $1,000,000 can be typed into the setup screen, and every percentage rule scales with it.
