FundedNext Review 2026: Good Deal or Trap?
In just a few years, FundedNext has established itself as FTMO's main rival, with aggressive promotions and fast payouts on some offers. Here is what you need to know before you buy.
Our take: a very good choice for manual trading on a small budget. Avoid it if you want to use a bot on cTrader: it is prohibited.

Bots: the point that changes everything
FundedNext only allows bots on MT4 and MT5, on accounts under 50,000, with a non-refundable paid add-on. Each bot must have a distinct strategy, and bots designed to "pass challenges" are prohibited. On cTrader and Match-Trader, no bots are accepted. If you trade with a cBot, look at FTMO instead.
