FundedNext offers three account models: Express (one-step evaluation), Stellar (two-step evaluation), and Stellar Lite (cheaper entry with stricter rules). All three permit Expert Advisors, with the same general restrictions as other major prop firms: no copy-trading across accounts, no arbitrage exploitation, no third-party signal services that all FundedNext traders use. Rule-based EAs that respect daily-loss and total-drawdown limits are fully permitted.
The FundedNext Express model is popular with EA traders because it skips the second evaluation phase and goes straight to funded after a single 4 percent profit target. The drawdown rules are tighter (4 percent daily, 8 percent max), which makes it well-suited to conservative trend-following and breakout EAs rather than high-frequency scalpers.
AutoPipShop tags 300+ EAs as challenge-safe and excludes martingale, ungated grid, and news-event trading by default. Filter by strategy (scalping, hedging, trend-following) to match the FundedNext model you are targeting. Forward-test on a FundedNext demo before paying the evaluation fee, and use the FundedNext drawdown calculator to size lots against your maximum allowable risk.

Frequently asked questions about FundedNext EAs
Does FundedNext allow EAs?
Yes. FundedNext explicitly permits Expert Advisors on Express, Stellar, and Stellar Lite accounts. The same EA-related restrictions apply: no shared EAs across accounts, no latency exploitation, and no exclusive third-party signal services.
What is the difference between FundedNext Express and Stellar?
Express is a one-step evaluation with a 4 percent profit target and a 4 percent daily loss / 8 percent max-drawdown limit. Stellar is a two-step evaluation with 8 percent Phase 1 / 5 percent Phase 2 targets and a 5 percent daily loss / 10 percent max-drawdown limit. Express has tighter risk rules and Stellar offers larger funded-account scaling.
What EAs work best on FundedNext?
Conservative trend-following, swing-trading, and hedging EAs with tight per-trade risk (0.5 to 1 percent) work best because they respect the tight daily-loss limit on Express. Higher-frequency scalpers can work on Stellar but require careful drawdown management.
Does FundedNext have a news-trading ban?
FundedNext does not outright ban news trading but flags inconsistent positions taken purely around high-impact releases. The safest approach is to use a news filter in your EA that pauses trading 2 to 5 minutes before and after major releases.
What account sizes does FundedNext offer?
FundedNext offers funded accounts from $5,000 to $300,000. Express accounts start at $5,000 and Stellar starts at $5,000 as well. The maximum funded account scales up to $4 million with proven trading history.
