▶FundedNext HFT Ban Rule: Clean Stats Can Get You Flagged — 44s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Methods involving platform manipulation, latency exploitation or 'cheating' are banned, as are unconventional practices that exploit market norms or disrupt fair trading. It's a broad catch-all used to deny 'too good to be true' results.
The gotcha
Deliberately vague — it's the clause FundedNext leans on at payout review to deny suspicious results, so unusually fast/clean stats can draw scrutiny.
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
