Automation and copying rules​

From FundedNext's futures help center and general rules, checked 2026-09-23:

  • FundedNext Futures allows automated trading systems, including EAs and trading bots, in both the Challenge and the FundedNext Account. FundedNext does not help set up, configure, or troubleshoot them.
  • Strategies that exploit system vulnerabilities, such as latency abuse or order flooding, are prohibited. FundedNext Futures does not allow high-frequency trading and monitors automated systems for it.
  • You may copy your own trades: between your own FundedNext accounts, and between FundedNext and other prop firms when you own all the accounts. FundedNext names Tradovate's built-in copy trading and NinjaTrader modules like Replikanto as examples.
  • Copying another person's account, coordinating trades with other traders (group trading), and subscribing to trading signal services are prohibited.
  • Opposite positions across accounts and hedging with highly correlated instruments are prohibited.
