I haven't received my account credentials. What should I do?

Account credentials are typically sent to your registered email within 10 minutes after successful payment.

In case you have not received it, please check your Spam or Junk folder. If the email is still missing, contact our Support team with your purchase email address and order receipt screenshot.

Our team will investigate promptly. Please allow up to 24 hours for review and resolution.

If you receive duplicate accounts due to a system error, please contact Next Level Funded Support before trading.

Our team will review the allocation and confirm which account is valid. Only one account will be recognized for trading and payouts.

If you trade on both accounts before reporting the issue, activity and profits from the additional account will not be recognized..

We stand firmly behind our commitment to timely payouts. If your withdrawal has been approved and the funds have not reached you within 12 hours of approval, we will automatically add a $1,000 bonus to your payout amount.

This guarantee reflects our commitment to ensuring that every trader is paid quickly and reliably.

Please note: Time spent on KYC verification is not included in the 12-hour window.

At Next Level Funded, we believe skilled traders should have access to capital without unnecessary barriers.

That’s why we offer two simple ways to get funded.

With Instant Funding, there’s no evaluation. Pay a one-time fee and you can start trading within minutes.

Prefer to prove your skills first? Our Challenge accounts provide a straightforward evaluation designed for traders who want a more structured path to funding.

Whichever option you choose, you can keep up to 100% of your profits and request payouts on demand—there are no fixed payout cycles.

Today, Next Level Funded has supported traders in more than 110 countries, paid out over $3 million in profits, and grown a community of more than 20,000 traders. We’re proud to have a 4.7-star rating across all platforms.

Our mission is simple: If you can trade, we will back you.

At Next Level Funded, we understand that many talented traders lack the capital needed to trade at a meaningful scale. Our platform is designed to solve that problem by providing the funding, infrastructure, and support you need to focus on what you do best: trading.

‍

Beyond capital, we are committed to reliable payouts, transparent rules, and a genuine partnership with every trader on our platform. Our rules are designed to encourage disciplined, consistent, and sustainable trading, helping traders build a long-term approach rather than focusing on short-term results.

‍

Our goal is to help as many traders as possible build a long-term career in the financial markets.

After passing your evaluation, you will trade in live market conditions with simulated capital.

‍

What does this mean?

‍

- Capital: The funds in your account are simulated and are not real money.

- Market Conditions: Market data and pricing are entirely real.

- Execution: Your trades are executed under real market conditions.

- Profits: Profits you generate are treated as genuine earnings.

- Withdrawals: You can withdraw your eligible share based on your agreed-upon profit split.

‍

This model allows us to fund traders at scale while providing a fair and transparent environment for everyone.

Yes. We absolutely support scaling.

‍

Traders who meet the following requirements qualify for a 25% account balance increase per scaling cycle:

‍

10% — Total profit over 4 months

2.5% — Minimum monthly profit

1+ — Withdrawal per month

‍

The scaling process can continue until your account reaches a maximum balance of $1,000,000.

‍

Withdrawal Cap: Even as your account balance grows through scaling, the withdrawal cap per cycle remains the same as the cap on your original account size.

Due to regulatory and compliance requirements, we are currently unable to process payouts to traders residing in the following countries: Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Congo (Brazzaville), Cuba, Ecuador, Guinea, Haiti, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine*, Venezuela, and Yemen. Payout availability in certain regions of Ukraine may vary. Additionally, our services are currently unavailable to residents of Minnesota, South Carolina, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. If you have any questions about your eligibility, please do not hesitate to contact our support team.

Yes, we serve traders based in the United States. U.S.-based traders have full access to all account types and sizes available on our platform, subject to the state-level restrictions mentioned under restricted countries.

No. Copy trading, signal services, and third-party trade replication are not allowed at any stage of your account.

You must make all trading decisions independently.

If you violate this rule, your account may be terminated immediately.

Yes. If your account goes 21 consecutive calendar days without any trading activity, it will be classified as inactive and will receive a hard breach. Please be aware that inactivity breaches are final and are not eligible for reinstatement or appeal. We recommend placing at least one trade within every 21-day window to keep your account active.

Yes. Your IP address's geographic location should remain consistent throughout both the evaluation and funded trading phases. Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data is perfectly acceptable as long as you remain within the same general region. However, significant changes in location, such as traveling to a different country, may trigger an account review. If you anticipate a change in location, we encourage you to contact our support team in advance so we can note your account accordingly.

No. The use of VPNs, VPS services, proxies, or any other tools designed to mask your true geographic location is prohibited at all stages. Trading must be conducted using a stable internet connection that accurately reflects your real location. Accounts found to be using location masking tools may be subject to review, restriction, or termination.

We are committed to maintaining a fair and responsible trading environment. Any strategy or activity that exploits our systems, undermines fair trading, or involves excessive risk is prohibited.

Prohibited practices include, but are not limited to:

• Excessive scalping or high-frequency trading
• Martingale-style trade stacking
• Unmanaged “all-in” or excessive-risk positions
• Exploitation of platform glitches, pricing errors, or technical issues
• Latency arbitrage and other execution-based exploitation
• Multi-account hedging, manipulation, or coordinated activity
• Expert Advisors (EAs), automated bots, or other automated trading systems; manual trading only
• Excessive concentration in a single instrument
• Any other activity deemed abusive, manipulative, exploitative, or contrary to fair trading practices
• Hedging: Opening buy and sell positions simultaneously on the same trading pair or on correlated pairs.

Violations may lead to an account review, profit split adjustment, trading restrictions, or permanent termination, depending on the circumstances and severity of the violation.

Each trader is permitted to hold only one identity across all Next Level Funded accounts. Creating multiple accounts under different email addresses or submitting multiple KYC verifications for the same individual is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination or a permanent ban. Additionally, all payment methods used for purchases and payouts must belong to the account holder. Third-party payments and payouts are not permitted under any circumstances.

The 2-Minute Rule requires every trade opened to remain open for at least two minutes before it is closed. This applies across the entire lifecycle of the account, during the Challenge phase and again once the account is Funded.

How violations are enforced:

• 1st violation: The trader's profit split is cut to 50%, regardless of whether the account is in the Challenge phase or the Funded phase. Instead of the usual 80% or higher, the trader will only retain 50% of profits generated going forward on that account until the matter is resolved.
• 2nd violation: The account is hard breached, meaning it is closed for rule non-compliance. This applies whether the violation happens during the Challenge phase or the Funded phase.
• Please note that this applies to all account types.

The NLF Safeguard is a protective risk-control mechanism designed to limit excessive floating losses and promote disciplined risk management across all Next Level Funded accounts.

The applicable threshold is 1.5% of the initial account balance for all Challenges and standard Instant Pro accounts at all stages, and 1% for Instant Funding Flex and Giveaway accounts.

Once the combined floating loss across all open positions reaches the applicable threshold, all open positions are automatically closed across all instruments. Trading may resume immediately, with no cooldown or waiting period.

A Safeguard trigger is a protective intervention rather than an automatic hard breach. The event is classified as a soft breach and may be reviewed by the NLF Risk Team. Based on the nature, frequency, and severity of the event, potential outcomes include an account review, reset, profit split adjustment, trading restrictions, or, in serious cases, a hard breach.

For example, on a $100,000 account, the Safeguard activates at -$1,500 under the 1.5% threshold, while a $100,000 Instant Funding Flex or Giveaway account reaches its threshold at -$1,000.

The NLF Safeguard is designed to protect trading capital and promote long-term consistency—not to serve as a penalty. Trade responsibly, manage your exposure, and stay within NLF’s risk standards.

The same violation structure applies to both the Challenge Stage and Funded Stage:

• 2-Minute Rule: The first violation results in a 50% profit split. A second violation results in a hard breach and permanent account closure.
  
  
• Other Soft Breaches: There is no profit split for soft-breach violations. Traders can have up to four soft-breach violations without enforcement action. The fifth violation will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure.
  
  
• The Payout Processing Team may also apply profit adjustments, account resets, or other restrictions based on the nature and severity of a violation.
  

Getting started is simple:

1. Review the trading rules to make sure you’re comfortable with the requirements.
2. Choose your account size, challenge type, and trading platform.
3. Complete your purchase using a credit card or cryptocurrency.

For crypto payments, send the exact coin amount shown at checkout, not the USD equivalent. Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the amount received.

The maximum allocation depends on the account type:

• Evaluation Accounts: Up to $500,000
• Instant Pro and Instant Crown: Up to $200,000
• Instant Funding Flex: Up to $500,000

These limits represent the maximum starting capital you can hold for each account type.

Additionally, individual accounts can be scaled up to $1,000,000 through our scaling program. This scaling limit is separate from the $500,000 allocation limit. 

We use three drawdown models, and the one that applies depends on the program you choose:

• Max Static Drawdown: A fixed drawdown limit that does not change based on your account’s performance.
• Max Trailing Drawdown: Moves upward as your highest equity increases, following your account’s growth.
• Daily Drawdown: Resets daily at 5:00 PM EST and is calculated using the highest equity or balance recorded at that time.

Understanding your account’s drawdown model is essential for effective risk management.

No. Challenges have no time limit. Trade at your own pace and take as many days as you need to reach your profit target.

This allows you to focus on disciplined trading without time pressure.

Giveaway Accounts have a 30-day time limit and follow separate rules.

Yes, you can consolidate multiple funded accounts into a single account if you prefer a streamlined trading experience. To initiate this process, simply submit a support ticket through our help desk, and our team will guide you through the consolidation step by step.

Congratulations on passing! Once you hit your profit target, your account will enter a review period that typically takes up to 48  hours. During this time, our team verifies that all trading rules have been followed. Once the review is complete and your results are approved, access to the next phase or your funded account will be granted automatically. You will receive a confirmation email with all the relevant details.

Yes. Instant Pro accounts have a 15% Consistency Rule.

This helps promote consistent trading and discourages gambling-style or high-frequency trading.

Instant Pro accounts have several rules that must be followed.

In addition to the other rules, your largest single loss must not exceed your largest single profit. This profit-to-loss balance must be maintained throughout the account.

Failure to comply with these rules may result in an account reset or penalty.

Traders must complete at least 7 qualifying trades, with each trade achieving a minimum profit of 0.5% and being fully closed to count toward the requirement.

• Once submitted and verified, documents cannot be changed, so please ensure accuracy before submitting. Completing this process correctly the first time ensures seamless access to your funded account.

In most cases, KYC verification is completed instantly after you submit your documents through the dashboard. In rare instances where additional review is required, the process may take slightly longer. Our team will keep you informed if any delays arise.

For multiple qualifying trades to count on the same trading day, each trade must be **FULLY CLOSED** before opening the next trade. If a new trade is opened before the previous trade has been closed, those trades will not both count toward the qualifying trade requirement.

‍

Examples

Example 1 **(Qualifies):**

Trade 1: Open → Close (+0.5%) ✅

Trade 2: Open → Close (+0.7%) ✅

‍

Since Trade 1 was fully closed before Trade 2 was opened, both trades count toward the 10 qualifying trades requirement.

‍

Example 2 

Trade 1: Open

Trade 2: Open (while Trade 1 is still open)

Trade 1: Close (+0.6%)

Trade 2: Close (+0.5%)

‍

**Since the trades overlapped, they will not both count toward the 10 qualifying trades requirement.**

‍

After each payout, the qualifying trade requirement resets and must be completed again before becoming eligible for future payouts.
