Risk Guide

On FundedNext's $15k account, you're working with a $750 daily loss limit and $1,500 max drawdown. At 1% risk per trade ($150), you can absorb exactly 5 consecutive losses before breaching the daily limit - but this assumes perfect timing with no spread costs or slippage. At 2% risk ($300 per trade), you're looking at just 2-3 losing trades maximum before hitting trouble. The critical danger zone for this account size is overtrading during volatile sessions. Many traders blow the $750 daily limit by taking multiple 2-3% risk positions during news events. One bad FOMC or NFP session with three 2% losses puts you at $900 in daily losses - account terminated. For position sizing math: EURUSD with 30 pips stop at 1% risk allows 5 mini lots ($150÷30 pips). GBPJPY with 50 pip stop drops you to 3 mini lots. Gold (XAUUSD) with $20 stop lets you trade 0.75 lots maximum. US30 with 100 point stop means 0.15 lots only. Phase 1 requires hitting $1,200 profit (8%) while respecting these same risk limits. Phase 2 drops the target to $750 (5%) but maintains identical daily loss and drawdown rules. Your position sizes stay exactly the same throughout - the only change is your profit target. The minimum 5 trading days rule means you can't just scalp your way to the target in two sessions. You need consistent daily performance, which actually works in your favor by preventing blown accounts from overaggressive single-day pushes. Smart FundedNext traders typically risk 0.5-1% per setup, never exceeding 2% total market exposure. With no consistency rule, you could theoretically make $1,200 in one massive winner and small trades for the remaining days, but the daily loss limit makes this practically impossible. Focus on 15-25 pip targets per trade, compound your gains steadily, and remember that three bad 2% trades end your challenge immediately.
