Firm Trust Score

A 0–100 score built from a firm's real Trustpilot reputation, how long it's actually been operating as a futures prop firm specifically, and a checklist of the rule types that most often catch traders off guard — account stacking, flipping, windfall clauses, news-trading blackouts, and more. Picked by firm, since some of these are firm-wide policies, not tied to one specific account.

Whole firms only, not individual accounts — some rules can still vary by which account you pick, noted below.

Only rule categories we've actually confirmed apply to this firm show up here — an empty list means nothing's been confirmed yet, not that the firm has a clean bill of health.

  • Account stackingAppliesHigh severity

    Explicitly named and banned as "Account Rolling": buying multiple Challenge Accounts intending to quickly progress to funded, often by deliberately sacrificing some accounts while focusing on passing others — described directly as resembling gambling more than trading. Actively monitored; violations can mean restrictions on purchasing new accounts or adjustments to the lifetime allocation limit. FundedNext's own "Account Flipping" section describes the identical repeat-buy-blow-or-profit-and-start-over pattern under a different name (not real account flipping/reselling — see this migration's own header note).

    What's this?
  • Copy trading & EA (bot) rulesAppliesModerate severity

    A detailed, genuinely permissive policy: copying your OWN trades between your own FundedNext accounts is allowed; copying your own trades between FundedNext and another prop firm is allowed if you own all accounts involved (identity/name verification required); and copy-trading TOOLS (Tradovate's built-in feature, NinjaTrader's Replikanto, any third-party tool) are allowed as long as they're only copying your own trades. What's banned: using any tool or trade copier to copy trades from someone ELSE's account, and subscribing to any trading signal service.

    What's this?
  • Group trading / signal copyingAppliesModerate severity

    Explicitly bans group trades or coordinating trades with other traders (inside or outside FundedNext), and subscribing to any trading signal service or using external signals to guide decisions.

    What's this?
  • Arbitrage tradingAppliesModerate severity

    Latency arbitrage explicitly named and banned — exploiting price-feed delays between platforms/data sources for a speed advantage rather than a real market view.

    What's this?
  • Martingale / grid strategiesAppliesModerate severity

    Grid Trading is explicitly named and banned — placing multiple long/short orders at set price levels to capture small moves within a range, cited as creating artificial trading activity and excessive risk in a strong directional move.

    What's this?
  • VPN / multi-identity policyAppliesModerate severity

    Explicitly bans "Account Sharing" — allowing another individual to trade on your behalf.

    What's this?
  • Mandatory stop-loss / risk rulesAppliesHighest severity — discretionary

    Bans using high margin to take reckless, oversized (including "all-in") positions to try to rapidly grow or intentionally blow an account, then repeating the process with a new account if it fails — framed explicitly as lacking strategy/discipline and unsustainable.

    What's this?
  • Minimum trade duration / anti-microscalpingAppliesModerate severity

    Confirms a dedicated Micro-Scalping/Tick-Scalping policy exists (explicitly states an occasional fast exit isn't itself a violation, and the firm does not breach/terminate solely for micro-scalping) — but the specific numeric thresholds are on a separate linked page not included in what was reviewed here, so the exact rule isn't recorded yet.

    What's this?

This score is assembled from our own research and is only as good as what we've confirmed so far — it updates automatically as more of a firm's rules get verified. Always check the firm's own terms before buying.
