TLDR:
A FundedNext Futures Challenge is a testing phase where traders must prove their skills by hitting profit targets while following risk management rules. Once passed, traders transition to a FundedNext Account, where they can trade with simulated capital and withdraw real rewards.
The key differences lie in rules such as profit targets, loss limits, consistency requirements, and Performance Reward eligibility. Rapid Challenge is more flexible with fewer restrictions, while Legacy Challenge is stricter with structured rules. The FundedNext Account stage unlocks withdrawal rights and long-term trading opportunities.
At FundedNext Futures, every trader begins their journey with a Futures Challenge. This is designed to evaluate your ability to reach profit targets while managing risks within defined rules. Successfully completing the Challenge grants access to a FundedNext Account, where you can trade with simulated capital and withdraw real performance-based rewards.
