Traders are not allowed to risk more than 1.5% of the total account balance on a single trade.

This rule applies to all positions, and traders must ensure that stop loss and position sizing are set in a way that total potential loss on any trade does not exceed this limit.

Example

A trader has a $10,000 account.

  • 1.5% of $10,000 = $150

This means the maximum risk allowed on a single trade is $150.

If a trade is placed where the potential loss exceeds $150, it would be considered a violation of the risk rule.

What is the Profitable Day Requirement?

The Profitable Day Requirement applies to the Instant $10k, $25k, and $50k Accounts. A trading day is considered profitable only if the account achieves at least 0.4% profit on the starting balance within that UTC day.

Profitable days update at UTC 00:00 on dashboard.

Example

A trader has a $10,000 account.

  • 0.4% of $10,000 = $40

To count as a profitable day, the trader must make at least $40 profit within the same UTC day.

If the trader makes:

  • Day 1: $25 profit ❌ Not a profitable day
  • Day 2: $40 profit ✅ Profitable day
  • Day 3: $80 profit ✅ Profitable day

Each Profitable day is calculated independently and updates at UTC 00:00.

What is the 15% Consistency Rule?

Example

A trader makes a total profit of $1,000.

  • 15% of $1,000 = $150

This means the trader’s biggest single trading day cannot be more than $150.

If the trader’s best day is more than $150, the account will not meet the consistency requirement and trading must continue until the condition is satisfied.

What is the maximum payout per account?

How does the 30% Consistency Rule work?

Under this rule, the profit from a single trading day cannot exceed 30% of the total profit made during the payout period.

Example

A trader requests a payout with $10,000 in total profit.

30% of $10,000 = $3,000

This means no single trading day can exceed $3,000 in profit.

If the trader made $5,000 in one day, this would exceed the 30% consistency threshold. The trader would need to continue trading and generate additional profit until the largest winning day represents 30% or less of the total profit.

Your highest profitable day for the consistency calculation is defined as the most profits you record between 5PM to 5PM New York time.

What are your trading style rules?
Our Core Trading Rule: No Gambling

At Next Level Funded, we uphold the highest standards of professional trading and risk management. To ensure a disciplined and sustainable trading environment, we have one fundamental rule that all traders must adhere to: No Gambling.

Trading should be based on strategy, analysis, and risk management, not luck or reckless behavior. Any form of gambling or irresponsible trading practices will result in disqualification from our program.

What Constitutes Gambling at NLF?

Gambling is defined as engaging in trading behavior that carries excessive risk and lacks consistency, sustainability, or proper risk management. Such practices do not align with disciplined or skill-based trading. This may include, but is not limited to, the following:

🔹 Excessive Scalping / High-Frequency Trade Execution – Rapid opening and closing of trades within very short time intervals, particularly under two  minutes, is considered reckless and non-strategic. This type of activity may result in a firm warning, and continued engagement may lead to immediate account action, including closure. Frequent, erratic entries and exits suggest an attempt to exploit execution mechanics rather than apply a structured trading approach.

🔹 Martingale Strategy – Placing multiple trades (five or more) on the same currency pair while in drawdown is not a sustainable approach. This type of trade stacking increases risk exposure exponentially and is classified as a gambling strategy rather than a risk-managed method.

🔹 "All-In" Trading – Executing a single high-risk trade without proper risk management—such as trading without a stop-loss or risking more than the maximum drawdown limit—is strictly prohibited. Taking extreme risks in hopes of either passing the challenge or failing the account does not align with responsible trading practices.

Commit to Strategic & Disciplined Trading

At NLF, we encourage traders to adopt solid risk management strategies and structured trading plans to build long-term success. Proper trade execution, discipline, and a well-thought-out risk-reward strategy -  to becoming a consistently profitable trader.

By following these principles, you ensure a fair and professional trading environment—one that rewards skill, discipline, and sound decision-making rather than high-risk speculation. 🚀

What Does NLF Consider Cheating?

At Next Level Funded (NLF), all traders are expected to operate under fair market conditions and responsible risk behavior. Any attempt to exploit platform inefficiencies, manipulate execution, or generate non-genuine profits is strictly prohibited.

We actively monitor trading activity to ensure consistency with real-market behavior. Violations of this policy may result in account restriction or termination.

1. Platform Misuse & Technical Exploitation

Traders are not permitted to take advantage of any system or platform irregularities, including but not limited to:

  • Trading on abnormal pricing, execution delays, or feed discrepancies
  • Exploiting system glitches, freezing, or platform errors
  • Using outdated or non-live market data to gain unfair advantage

Any attempt to benefit from such conditions is considered a serious violation.

2. Execution-Based Exploitation

The following practices are strictly prohibited:

  • Latency-based trading strategies that rely on delayed price execution
  • Arbitrage techniques that depend on pricing differences between feeds or accounts
  • Ultra-fast execution strategies (including automated systems) designed to exploit micro price movements

Any trading style that relies primarily on execution imbalance rather than market analysis is not allowed.

3. Multi-Account Manipulation & Hedging Abuse

The following behaviors are not permitted:

  • Opening opposing positions across multiple accounts to neutralize risk
  • Coordinating trades between accounts to create artificial guaranteed outcomes
  • Structuring trades across accounts in a way that removes real market exposure

Such activity is considered account manipulation and may lead to immediate action on all related accounts.

4. Automated Systems (EAs & Bots)

The use of Expert Advisors (EAs), trading bots, or any other automated trading systems is not permitted on Next Level Funded accounts.

All trading activity must be executed manually by the trader.

Traders must avoid strategies that rely on unrealistic or unstable risk exposure, including:

  • Excessive lot sizing not aligned with account size
  • Aggressive recovery-based position scaling (e.g., continuously increasing exposure after losses)
  • Trading approaches that resemble gambling rather than structured risk management

6. Over-Exposure on Single Instruments

Opening multiple positions in a concentrated manner on a single asset in a short timeframe may be considered excessive risk concentration.

Traders are expected to maintain balanced exposure and avoid overcrowding in a single market direction.

7. General Trading Conduct

Trade responsibly. Stay consistent. Build long-term performance.

Unlimited Time

Our challenges have no time restrictions; you can pass in as little or as much time as you need!

Understanding the Daily Reset in Our 1-Step Challenges

In our 1-Step Challenges, the Daily Reset is based on the High Watermark—the highest value reached by either your balance or equity at any given time. This ensures that your trailing drawdown adjusts daily in line with your best performance, creating a fair, transparent, and trader-friendly environment.

We implement the High Watermark method because it upholds the integrity of the challenge while rewarding consistency and effective risk management. Unlike a balance-only reset, which could allow traders to carry significant floating losses without consequences, or an equity-only reset, which may fluctuate too frequently, the High Watermark strikes the perfect balance. It protects your hard-earned gains while allowing flexibility in your trading strategy. This approach is widely adopted by top-tier prop firms and ensures that all traders compete on a level playing field. By focusing on sound risk management and steady performance, you position yourself for long-term success—and we’re here to support you every step of the way. 🚀

Types of Drawdown

Max Static Drawdown – The drawdown limit stays the same and doesn’t change.

Max Trailing Drawdown – The drawdown moves up as your account’s highest equity point increases.

📌 Example:

You start with $1,000 equity and a 3% trailing drawdown, meaning your initial max drawdown is $30. If your equity grows to $1,100, your new max drawdown is 3% of $1,100 ($33). If your account drops below $1,067, it would be a breach.

Daily Drawdown – The drawdown resets daily at 5:00 PM EST based on the highest equity or balance at that time.

Spread, Commission and Swaps

Forex and Metals instruments are charged a $7 USD commission per lot traded. If the instrument is not denominated in USD, the commission will be automatically converted to its USD equivalent.

Cryptocurrencies and Indices carry $0 commissions.

All instruments are offered with competitive, near-raw spreads, and all accounts benefit from zero swap fees.

NLF Safeguard - Smart Protection for Traders.

At Next Level Funded (NLF), disciplined risk management is essential for protecting trading capital. To support this, NLF has implemented the NLF Safeguard, a protective risk-control system designed to prevent excessive floating losses.

This rule applies to all account types without exception, including Challenge accounts (challenge+funded phase), Instant accounts, and Giveaway accounts.

NLF Safeguard Threshold

The NLF Safeguard is triggered when the total floating loss on open positions reaches 1.5% of the initial account balance.

This threshold applies to all eligible accounts without exception.

How It Works

When the combined unrealized (floating) loss across all open positions reaches the 1.5% limit:

  • All open positions across all instruments are automatically closed
  • Traders may resume trading immediately
  • No cooldown, suspension, or waiting period is applied

This action is a protective intervention, not a direct account breach. Its purpose is to limit drawdown exposure and help preserve account stability.

Example

You are trading a $100,000 funded account:

  • You have multiple open positions
  • Your total floating loss reaches –$1,500
  • This equals 1.5% of the initial account balance

At this point, the NLF Safeguard is triggered and all open positions are automatically closed.

Once exposure is reduced, you may continue trading immediately.

What Happens If the NLF Safeguard Is Triggered?

If the NLF Safeguard is triggered, the event will be classified as a soft breach and the account will be reviewed by the NLF Risk Team. Depending on the nature, frequency, and severity of the violation, actions may include account review, account reset, profit split adjustment, trading restrictions, or, in serious cases, a hard breach.

Traders are expected to maintain disciplined risk management practices at all times and remain fully compliant with NLF’s trading standards and risk policies.

Final Note

The NLF Safeguard is not a penalty — it is a risk protection mechanism.

It is designed to help traders manage volatility, reduce excessive losses, and promote long-term consistency.

Trade responsibly. Manage risk effectively.

NLF Safeguard — Instant Pro Accounts Only

At Next Level Funded (NLF), disciplined risk management is non-negotiable. To ensure strict capital protection on high-access account models, we have implemented the NLF Safeguard exclusively for Instant Pro Accounts.

This safeguard is not applicable to any other account type.

NLF Safeguard Threshold

The NLF Safeguard will activate when the total floating loss on open positions reaches 2% of the initial account balance.

This applies to all NLF Instant Pro Accounts, without exception.

How It Works

When the combined unrealized (floating) loss on open trades reaches the 2% limit:

  • All open positions across all instruments are automatically closed
  • You are allowed to resume trading immediately
  • No cooldown, suspension, or waiting period applies

This action is classified as a protective intervention, not an immediate account failure.

Its purpose is to stop further drawdown and keep your funded account intact.

Example Scenario

You are trading a $100,000 Instant Pro Account

  • You have several open positions
  • Your floating PnL reaches - $2,000
  • This equals 2% of the initial balance

At that point, the NLF Safeguard activates, closing all open trades.

Once your exposure is reset, you may re-enter the market and continue trading.

Why Is This Feature Important?

The NLF Safeguard is designed to promote long-term trader success.

Consistent data shows that traders who limit losses early and respect risk parameters:

  • Remain funded longer
  • Maintain more stable equity curves
  • Achieve more consistent payouts

This system helps you:

  • Prevent excessive drawdowns
  • Stay aligned with daily risk limits
  • Develop disciplined, professional trading behaviour

What Happens If the NLF Safeguard Is Triggered?

While NLF believes in giving traders room to learn, repeated risk violations are taken seriously.

Here’s how it works:

  • 1st NLF Safeguard Trigger → Profit split is adjusted to 50%
  • 2nd NLF Safeguard Trigger → Account is considered breached and access is terminated

This structure allows for recovery after a mistake while reinforcing the importance of proper risk management.

Final Note

The NLF Safeguard is not a penalty — it’s protection.

It exists to help traders survive volatility, correct mistakes early, and remain funded longer.

Trade smart. Control risk.

Minimum Withdrawal Option

NLF requires out Traders to generate a reasonable amount of profit to further improve their trading habits. This is why we have a minimum withdrawal requirement of $125 after profit splits & fee deductions.

Accounts will not be breached or affected if payouts below $125 are requested, the trader will simply need to continue trading until he meets the minimum requirement to withdraw.

Merging Accounts

Streamline your portfolio management by consolidating your funded accounts into a single, unified account.

This process allows for greater efficiency, simplifying your trading experience and ensuring that all your funds are easily accessible in one place. To get started with merging your accounts, simply submit a support ticket, and our team will assist you every step of the way. This seamless integration will help you focus more on your trading strategies while we handle the account management process.

Mandatory Stop Loss

Yes, all trades in both the Challenge and Funded phases must have a Stop Loss in place. While the Stop Loss does not need to be set immediately when opening the trade, it must be added before the trade is closed.

Any trade closed without a Stop Loss will be considered a violation of our rules. Depending on the severity of the violation, actions taken by the Payout Processing Team may include profit split adjustments, account reset, or, in extreme cases, a hard breach of the account.
