Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

Your FundedNext $6k account has a $300 daily loss limit - breach this and your challenge ends immediately. At 1% risk ($60 per trade), you can survive 5 consecutive losses before hitting the daily limit. At 2% risk ($120 per trade), just 2.5 losing trades will breach your account, meaning two losses plus a small spread/commission cost could end your challenge. The biggest danger with this account size is overtrading during volatile sessions. With only $300 daily buffer, a gap or news event that moves against multiple positions can instantly breach your account. Many traders fail by taking 3-4 small positions thinking they're being conservative, not realizing their combined risk exposure approaches the daily limit. For position sizing on popular instruments: EURUSD with 30-pip stop requires 0.2 lots for 1% risk ($60 ÷ 30 pips = $2 per pip). Gold with 10-pip stop needs 0.06 lots for 1% risk ($60 ÷ $10 per pip). Indices like US30 with 20-point stop require $3 per point for 1% risk ($60 ÷ 20 points). The math shifts between phases but risk management stays constant. In Phase 1, you need $480 profit (8%) while protecting against the $300 daily loss. Phase 2 requires only $300 profit (5%), making it easier to reach but the same daily loss limit applies. Once funded, the daily loss limit typically remains at 5% of your starting balance. Smart traders on this account size stick to 0.5-1% risk per trade, never risk more than half their daily limit on any single position, and avoid trading major news events where gaps can instantly breach the account. Your $600 maximum drawdown (10%) gives you breathing room, but the $300 daily limit is your real constraint.
