FundedNext: Maximum (overall) loss limit
▶FundedNext Maximum Loss Limit: Floating Losses Count Now — 39s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
A fixed floor off your starting balance: 10% (2-Step), 8% (Lite), 6% (1-Step) — static, balance-based. Stellar Instant is the exception: a 6% TRAILING cap that moves up with profit but never above your starting balance.
The gotcha
It counts floating/unrealized losses, swaps, commissions and fees — not just closed trades. A deep open drawdown can breach you before you ever close the position.
What happens if you break it
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.
