Pine Script Strategies for Funded Next Evaluations
Funded Next offers one of the simpler rule sets in the prop space — a static max drawdown from starting balance and a clear profit target. That structure is well-suited to systematic Pine Script strategies that size risk consistently and exit clean.
Funded Next's eval structure
Unlike firms with trailing drawdown models, Funded Next uses a static maximum drawdown from starting balance. Your floor is fixed at day one and doesn't change as you make money. This is significantly more forgiving — a big winning session doesn't tighten your drawdown room the next day.
The trade-off is that you can't rely on the trail rising to protect you. If the strategy has a bad stretch early, those losses come directly off your original cushion. Consistent position sizing is the key — don't let a bad day become a blown account.
Funded Next 50k eval — key rules
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Profit target | $3,000 (Phase 1) + $1,500 (Phase 2) |
| Max drawdown | $2,500 (static from starting balance) |
| Daily loss limit | None on most plans |
| Min trading days | 5 per phase |
| Scaling plan | Available on funded account |
Two-phase structure — how it changes strategy pacing
Funded Next's two-phase model means you need to pass Phase 1 and then repeat the process at a slightly lower target for Phase 2. The best Pine Script approach: run the same strategy through both phases without changing parameters. Traders who tighten risk between phases often slow down too much and don't pass Phase 2 within a reasonable time.
Which instruments to run
- MES — Best fit for 50k accounts. Small enough that a 2-tick stop only risks ~$10, giving you plenty of trades before the drawdown floor becomes a concern.
- MNQ — Higher reward per tick. Reaches the Phase 1 target faster on a good run. More variance — right for traders who want speed over consistency.
- ES / NQ — For 100k+ accounts with the appropriately larger drawdown room.
Which plan fits Funded Next traders?
The Starter plan ($50) covers 50k Phase 1 + Phase 2 on MES or MNQ with risk sized for the $2,500 static drawdown. The Pro plan ($80) targets 100k+ accounts on ES or NQ. The Custom plan ($120) is ideal if you want the daily loss guard logic disabled (since Funded Next doesn't impose daily limits on most plans) and a more aggressive per-trade risk profile.
Pass both phases of your Funded Next eval with consistent, sized-right risk.

What drawdown model does Funded Next use?
Funded Next uses a maximum drawdown limit based on initial balance (static) rather than trailing from peak equity. This is more forgiving than a trailing model because the floor never rises — it stays fixed at the starting level.
