Rows marked “Verify with firm” are where current rule trackers are silent or disagree; the firm's own help center is the only binding source.
What this means for a systematic strategy
FundedNext's futures product is the newest in this set and the rule documentation reflects that — the CFD side is far better covered than the futures side. What is clear: it is a day-trading product with no overnight holding, the Flex plan drops the consistency rule entirely once funded, and the split reaches 95%, the highest here.
The automation position is split by platform rather than by firm: EAs are allowed on MetaTrader subject to a fee, prohibited on cTrader and Match-Trader. For a futures strategy that matters less than the prohibited-strategy list, which names tick scalping and cross-account hedging explicitly. Confirm the current futures rules with the firm before buying — this is the card most likely to change.
Is FundedNext Futures worth it for a systematic strategy?
Not yet decidable. The futures product is new enough that several rules that decide fit — drawdown mechanics, daily loss limit, minimum days — are not documented clearly enough to plan a strategy against. The 95% split on Flex and the removal of consistency once funded are genuinely attractive; the absence of a stable rulebook is not.
What is decidable: no overnight holding rules out anything that carries positions, and tick scalping is on the prohibited list. If the strategy is intraday and manual, confirm the current futures rules directly with the firm and re-check before each purchase.
