FundedNext EA Rules (2026): $50k Cap, Fees, Copy Trading

Are EAs allowed on FundedNext?

Not on every account. The general EA policy restricts MT4/MT5 automation to account sizes below $50,000. Accounts of $50,000 or more must be traded manually in both Challenge and FundedNext stages. cTrader and Match-Trader do not permit automation, regardless of size.

This guide concerns FundedNext CFD/MetaTrader rules, not FundedNext Futures. Check your platform, programme, size and stage before enabling an EA. A successful connection to MT5 does not establish permission.

Check the exact Stellar programme

Stellar 1-Step: the programme rules explicitly repeat the below-$50,000 EA restriction. They list 3% daily loss, 6% maximum loss and at least two trading days.

Stellar 2-Step: its programme rules also prohibit EAs at $50,000 and above. Listed limits are 5% daily loss, 10% maximum loss and five trading days per phase. Permission to use an EA below the threshold remains subject to the other rules.

Stellar Lite: the general Lite page allows EAs and lists 4% daily loss, 8% maximum loss and five trading days per phase. It does not restate the account-size restriction. The separate USA Relaunch / Match-Trader page requires manual trading. Use the page for your actual product; an omission is not proof of an exemption.

Stellar Instant: its EA page dated July 1 permits EAs with conditions but does not mention the $50,000 threshold in the general policy. Its general rules describe a 6% trailing maximum loss. Where the pages do not align, obtain written clarification for your specific account before automating.

EA fee, allocation and banned tools

The EA add-on has a separate usage fee. Check the amount and eligibility in your FundedNext purchase flow; paying a fee does not override an account restriction. The fee notice says this add-on is non-refundable and excluded from a later Refundable Fee.

For eligible accounts, the EA conditions require personalised settings and distinct strategies, with a $300,000 allocation cap per strategy. That aggregate ceiling does not make a $100,000 account eligible. The policy also covers tools that only change stops or lot calculations and prohibits EAs incorporating Telegram or WhatsApp.

The official examples of banned tools include The Prop Pilot EA, PropEA - Fxblood Capital, Gold OneShot EA MT5, Forex Flex EA and X Pass Bot. Read the current prohibited-EA list rather than assuming an unlisted product is approved.

Copy trading is a separate permission

The dedicated copy-trading policy permits copying between your own Challenge Accounts up to $300,000 combined, with a designated master. It prohibits copying involving a FundedNext funded account, other owners or external cloud copiers; a VPS copier is permitted only within the allowed own-Challenge arrangement.

The older Stellar Instant overview says own-account copying is allowed, whereas the dedicated policy explicitly includes Stellar Instant funded accounts in its restriction. Ask FundedNext to resolve that difference for your account. Do not assume EA permission authorises copying, or that changing trade timing creates a distinct strategy.

Before connecting TradingView to MT5

1. Establish eligibility. Record account size, programme, platform and stage. Send FundedNext the exact workflow: your own TradingView script, webhook bridge, MT5 EA, any account copying and hosting. Ask for written confirmation where the policy is unclear.

2. Review the approved configuration. Confirm add-ons and prohibited features. Turning off a notification or using your own script alone does not prove compliance. Hosting MT5 and copying trades are different services; describe both if used.

3. Validate execution separately. Only after eligibility is clear, follow the MT5 connection guide and documentation, and test on demo. Check symbol mapping, volume, stops and the account receiving the alert.

4. Match account controls. Use the risk-management checklist to review loss calculations and reset times for your programme. Software controls cannot guarantee that an account will never breach. Before starting a paid attempt, see how to backtest FundedNext rules before your challenge and verify your strategy against those loss limits.

SignalForge executes instructions on MT5; it is not a FundedNext approval service and is not affiliated with FundedNext. Do not activate it on an account where automated tools are prohibited.
