TL;DR: At FundedNext Futures, each account has a fixed contract limit based on its model, size, and stage, and this limit does not increase as profits grow. If a trader exceeds the allowed number of contracts, only the excess contracts are treated as violations. Any profit earned from those violated contracts will be deducted, while losses from them will still count and are not adjusted. Contract limits differ across Bolt, Rapid, and Legacy accounts for both Challenge and FundedNext stages. Traders can also combine e-mini and micro e-mini contracts, provided they follow the model-specific ratio: 1:3 for Bolt Challenge, 1:5 for Rapid Challenge, and 1:10 for Legacy Challenge.
At FundedNext Futures, traders are assigned specific contract limits based on their account type (Challenge or FundedNext) and account size. These limits are fixed at the time the account is created and do not increase with profit. The contract limits are designed to maintain proper risk management while providing traders with the flexibility to execute their strategies effectively.
What happens if a trader exceeds the contract limit?
Contract limits in FundedNext Futures are strictly enforced. If you place a trade using more contracts than your permitted limit, the excess contracts will be considered violated contracts.
Any profit generated from violated contracts will be deducted. Only the contracts above the permitted limit are treated as violations. Losses from violated contracts are not adjusted.
Example:
If your permitted limit is 5 contracts and you open a trade using 7 contracts, the additional 2 contracts are considered violated contracts. Any profit generated specifically from those 2 contracts will be deducted.
