FundedNext: Strategy / instrument switching ('gambling')

ForbiddenPayout deniedHidden ruleVerifiedUpdated Jun 5, 2026

You must show ONE coherent strategy in the challenge and keep using it when funded. Passing on (say) EUR/USD at small size and then switching to Gold with much higher margin once funded is treated as 'gambling' and is prohibited — it also covers manual↔EA switching.

The gotcha

This is FundedNext's signature enforcement: breaches lead to review, suspension and reward denial — often discovered at the payout stage after you've already 'passed.'

The numbers
