FundedNext vs Earn2Trade

Drawdown, the rule that ends most accounts

FundedNext runs a Static drawdown and E2T runs EOD → Trailing.

Trailing means the limit rises with your equity peak, open positions included: giving profit back can end the account even without a real loss. EOD only recalculates at the session close, which forgives intraday swings.

In practice that is -5% / -10% of room at FundedNext and $1.5K a $3.5K at E2T.

What entry really costs

The cheapest entry is FundedNext, from $44.99 with the coupon applied at checkout, against $75.00 at E2T.

The discount differs too: 55% OFF at FundedNext and 50% OFF at E2T.

Add the activation fee at E2T before comparing: it is charged after you pass and never shows up in the evaluation price.

FundedNext charges no activation fee, so the price you see is the full cost up to the funded account.
