Introducing FNL:001, The First Release from FundedNext Labs

The “FNL:001 NO DLL 1-Step CFD 50K Challenge” is a new $50,000 CFDs challenge available exclusively through FundedNext Labs, priced at $99.99. It brings challenge conditions long associated with the Futures prop market into a CFDs plan: no daily loss limit, no risk rule, and no margin rule.

This guide explains every rule of this new model, from the 40% consistency rule to the EOD trailing maximum loss limit, so you know exactly how the challenge and the FundedNext Account work before you start.

TL;DR

  • $99.99 for a $50K account, making the “FNL:001 NO DLL 1-Step CFD 50K Challenge” the most affordable $50K CFDs challenge in the industry, with a 6% profit target ($3,000), the lowest for a 1-step plan across the market.
  • No daily loss limit, no risk rule, no margin rule, and no interview. The account is protected instead by a single $2,000 EOD trailing Maximum Loss Limit (MLL).
  • Payouts with an 80% profit share. Withdraw whenever you meet the criteria: at least $500 profit in the cycle and 5 Benchmark Days of $200 or more.
  • Weekend holding, overnight holding, and news trading are all allowed in both the challenge and the funded stage.
  • The account concludes after 5 payouts, with each maximum withdrawal capped at 50% of profit up to $2,000.

What Is the “FNL:001 NO DLL 1-Step CFD 50K Challenge”?

The “FNL:001 NO DLL 1-Step CFD 50K Challenge” is a 1-step CFDs challenge from FundedNext, a prop trading firm that has paid out more than $325.9M in verified payouts. You purchase the challenge for $99.99, trade a $50,000 simulated account, and reach a $3,000 profit target while staying above the Maximum Loss Limit. Pass, and you receive a FundedNext Account with an 80% profit share during withdrawals.

This plan brings Futures-style challenge conditions to CFDs. One trailing loss limit instead of layered daily rules, no daily loss limit, a consistency requirement in the challenge phase only, and payouts you request rather than wait out. The entry price and profit target are also the lowest in the CFD industry, and the trading freedoms most firms restrict stay open in both the challenge and the funded stage. The breakdown below covers what that means in practice.

Where FNL:001 Comes From: Inside FundedNext Labs

FNL:001 is the first plan released through FundedNext Labs, a dedicated destination at fundednext.com/labs for beta plans, experimental features, and early-access products. Labs is not a discount or clearance channel. It is a controlled environment where new plan structures are tested in live conditions, backed by FundedNext’s full track record and infrastructure. FNL:001 is available through Labs for a limited time.

“FNL:001 NO DLL 1-Step CFD 50K Challenge” Rules

The challenge phase uses a compact rule set. Here is the complete specification:

Metric Challenge Account Rule
Account Size $50,000
Price $99.99
Profit Target $3,000 (6%)
Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) $2,000
Drawdown Type EOD Trailing
Daily Loss Limit None
Consistency Rule 40%
News Trading Allowed
Weekend Holding Allowed
Overnight Holding Allowed
Max Lot at a Time FX: 5 lots; Commodities/Indices: 2 lots; Crypto: not allowed
Commission FX & Oil: $5 per lot; Metals: 0.0016%
Leverage Forex: 1:30; Indices: 1:25; Commodities: 1:25

Two administrative notes apply. Add-Ons and Resets are not available for this challenge, and KYC follows the same process as other FundedNext CFDs models.

How the 40% Consistency Rule Works in the Challenge

The consistency rule ensures that no single trading day accounts for more than 40% of your total profit target. For the $50K account, the profit target is $3,000, so the single-day threshold is $1,200 ($3,000 × 40%).

Here is how it plays out in practice:

  • A day’s profit is $1,200 or less: Your target stays at $3,000.
  • A day’s profit exceeds $1,200, for example $1,400: the profit target adjusts so that day fits within 40% of the total. The new required profit becomes $1,400 ÷ 40% = $3,500.
  • A later day exceeds the previous best, for example $1,450: the target adjusts again to $1,450 ÷ 40% = $3,625.

There is no breach state here. The consistency rule cannot fail your account, close it, or void your attempt. The only consequence is a higher profit target. At $3,625, you need $625 more than the original $3,000 before you pass, traded on the same account under the same $2,000 MLL. The target stops moving as soon as your best day stops growing. The rule exists so a passing result reflects repeatable performance rather than one outsized session. It applies during the challenge only. The FundedNext Account has no consistency rule.

How the EOD Trailing Maximum Loss Limit Works

The Maximum Loss Limit is the total amount your account can lose before it is restricted from further trading. On FNL:001 the MLL is $2,000 and it trails on an end-of-day basis. It recalculates once per day from your closing balance, not tick by tick during the session.

Your starting floor: $48,000

A $50,000 account with a $2,000 MLL opens with a minimum allowed balance of $48,000. That is the only number in play until you close a day in profit.

How the floor moves, day by day

Day 1, a profitable day. You close $1,000 up at $51,000.

Calculation: $51,000 − $2,000 = $49,000
Result: your floor moves up to $49,000.

Day 2, the floor reaches its lock point. Another $1,100 takes the balance to $52,100.

Calculation: $52,100 − $2,000 = $50,100
Result: $50,100 is your starting balance plus $100, so the MLL locks here permanently. It will not trail higher regardless of how far the account grows.

Day 3, a losing day. The balance falls $600 to $51,500.

Result: the floor does not follow. It stays at $50,100.

Day 4, a strong day. The balance climbs $3,500 to $55,000.

Result: the floor is still $50,100. Your drawdown room is now $4,900, more than double what you started with, because the floor stopped trailing while the balance kept rising.

The number to remember is $52,100. Once your balance closes there or higher, trailing stops for the life of the account and your floor sits at $50,100, just above where you started. Every dollar earned after that widens your buffer instead of moving the limit.

FundedNext Account Rules: What Happens After You Pass

Passing the challenge moves you into the FundedNext Account, where the reward structure takes over. Here is the full specification:

Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) $2,000
Drawdown Type EOD Trailing
Daily Loss Limit None
Minimum Benchmark Days 5 days ($200 per day)
Minimum Profit Per Cycle $500

What Are Benchmark Days?

Benchmark Days are trading days where you meet the minimum required profit for your account size. For the $50K FundedNext Account, a Benchmark Day requires a minimum profit of $200.

There are no Benchmark Day requirements during the challenge. In the FundedNext Account, you must complete at least 5 Benchmark Days before you become eligible for a withdrawal.

Payout Eligibility: The Full Checklist

Before requesting a payout, confirm you meet every criterion:

  • Minimum $500 profit in the current cycle
  • Minimum 5 Benchmark Days of $200 or more each
  • Minimum withdrawal amount of $250
  • Maximum withdrawal of 50% of profit, capped at $2,000 per payout
  • 80% profit share applied to your withdrawal
  • The account concludes after 5 payouts

Unlike other FundedNext CFDs models, there is no fixed payout cycle here. The cycle is defined by you, based on when you initiate the withdrawal. FundedNext’s published 24-hour payout commitment applies, with eligible delays triggering up to $1,000 in compensation.

How the MLL Locks After Your First Payout

The first payout brings its own safeguard. If your MLL is still below $50,100 at the time of your first withdrawal, the payout locks it at $50,100 (starting balance plus $100). From that point forward, your account’s risk floor sits just above its starting balance for the remainder of its life.

What You Get for $99.99

Every rule in this plan trades a constraint for a decision. Here is what that buys you.

The lowest cost of entry for a $50K CFD account. At $99.99, the barrier to starting is low and so is the barrier to starting again. There is no reset fee structure on this plan because there is nothing to reset. If an account closes, a second attempt is a new challenge at the same $99.99. That matters more than it sounds. When the cost of a fresh attempt is small, you are not carrying pressure from the fee into your position sizing.

A $3,000 profit target, the lowest for a 1-step plan. Six percent is roughly half what most 1-step CFD challenges ask for. Combined with no time limit, the target is reachable on a conservative risk model rather than requiring a concentrated run.

No daily loss limit. This is the rule that ends most CFD challenges, and it ends them on days when the market moves, not on days when the trader is wrong. Without it, a single volatile session cannot close your account. Your only exposure is the cumulative $2,000 EOD trailing MLL, which you can see and plan against at any point.

No risk rule, no margin rule, no interview. Position sizing, exposure, and stop placement stay with you. There is no hidden threshold that flags a trade after the fact.

News trading, weekend holding, and overnight holding, all allowed in both phases. Most CFD plans restrict at least one of these. Here the same conditions apply in the challenge and the FundedNext Account, so the strategy that passes the challenge is the strategy you keep trading.

No consistency rule in the FundedNext Account. The 40% rule applies during the challenge only. Once funded, a single strong day carries its full weight toward your payout instead of extending a target.

Payouts at an 80% profit share. There is no fixed cycle to wait out. Once you have $500 in cycle profit and 5 Benchmark Days of $200 or more, you decide when the cycle ends by requesting the withdrawal.

Why Traders Compare “FNL:001 NO DLL 1-Step CFD 50K Challenge” to Futures Challenges

The rule set of the “FNL:001 NO DLL 1-Step CFD 50K Challenge” will feel familiar to anyone who has traded with a Futures prop firm. Futures challenges typically run on a single trailing drawdown with no daily loss limit, consistency requirements, and flexible payout structures. The “FNL:001 NO DLL 1-Step CFD 50K

Challenge” brings that structure to CFDs:

  • EOD trailing MLL in place of layered daily and overall limits
  • No daily loss limit, so one volatile session does not end the challenge
  • A consistency rule in the challenge phase, mirroring standard Futures challenge design
  • Payouts, with eligibility defined by Benchmark Days rather than calendar cycles

For CFD traders who have been curious about Futures-style conditions but do not want to switch instruments or platforms, this plan offers those conditions on the markets they already trade: FX, commodities, indices, and metals, on MT5 or Match-Trader (USA only).

Who Is “FNL:001 NO DLL 1-Step CFD 50K Challenge” For?

The plan is built around three trader profiles:

  • Swing and multi-day traders. Weekend and overnight holding are both allowed in the challenge and the funded stage, so strategies that hold through sessions and weekends are viable from day one.
  • Traders who find rule-heavy challenges restrictive. With no daily loss limit, no risk rule, and no margin rule, position sizing and daily risk become trading decisions rather than challenge constraints, managed against a single MLL.
  • Cost-conscious traders. At $99.99 for a $50K account with a 6% profit target, the financial barrier to entry and to retrying after a failed attempt is the lowest in the CFD industry.
  • CFD traders curious about Futures-style conditions. The rules here mirror a Futures challenge, but nothing else about your setup changes. You trade FX, indices, commodities, and metals on MT5 or Match-Trader(USA only), the same platforms used across FundedNext’s CFD line. There are no contract specifications to learn, no tick values to convert, and no platform migration before you can start.

Final Thoughts

The “FNL:001 NO DLL 1-Step CFD 50K Challenge” condenses the CFD challenge into its simplest workable form: one price, one loss limit, one profit target, and a payout schedule you control. At $99.99 for a $50K account with a 6% target, no daily loss limit, and 80% profit share, it is the most accessible entry point in FundedNext’s CFD lineup, and the closest a CFD plan has come to Futures-style trading conditions.

The challenge is available now, for a limited time, exclusively through FundedNext Labs. Review the full rules on the Labs page, and when you are ready, start your challenge. For more detail on any rule covered here, the FundedNext Help Center has the complete documentation.
