What Does NLF Consider Cheating?
We have a strict no-cheating policy to ensure fair trading. Here’s what we classify as cheating:
1. Exploiting Demo Trading Flaws
You cannot take advantage of inefficiencies in the demo trading environment, such as:
High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
Toxic Trading Order Flow
Long/Short Arbitrage
Reverse Arbitrage
Tick Scalping
Server Execution Manipulation
Additionally, copy trading from another trader is strictly prohibited. If we detect copy trading, both accounts will be breached immediately.
2. Account Hedging
You cannot use one account to place a trade in one direction while using another account to place the opposite trade. This is an attempt to guarantee a win and is strictly forbidden.
3. Exclusive Hedging
You cannot hedge every trade throughout a challenge or live account. Many EA (Expert Advisor) hedging bots are designed to exploit demo environments, making it impossible for us to mirror your trades in a live market. If your account is found only hedging, we may ask you to provide the EA you’re using for review.
4. Use of Expert Advisors (EAs)
EAs are allowed, but they must follow our rules. If requested, you must prove that your EA is not violating any policies. HFT bots, hedge zone strategies, or similar methods are not allowed.
5. Defining a "Trade"
A trade is defined as a position held on a specific pair, which may include:
Multiple entries with similar timing and lot sizes. A set of trades placed at the same time
However, small lot-sized trades will not count as a trade.
Multiple entries with similar timing and lot sizes. A set of trades placed at the same time
However, small lot-sized trades will not count as a trade.
Final Note
If your account is flagged for cheating, you will be required to restart the challenge. Any serious violations will result in immediate account termination.

What are your trading style rules?
Our Core Trading Rule: No Gambling
At Next Level Funded, we uphold the highest standards of professional trading and risk management. To ensure a disciplined and sustainable trading environment, we have one fundamental rule that all traders must adhere to: No Gambling.
Trading should be based on strategy, analysis, and risk management, not luck or reckless behavior. Any form of gambling or irresponsible trading practices will result in disqualification from our program.
What Constitutes Gambling at NLF?
We define gambling as engaging in high-risk, unsustainable trading behaviors that do not align with sound trading principles. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
🔹 Excessive Scalping – If 50% or more of your trades are closed within one minute, it is considered reckless trading rather than strategic execution. Scalping is allowed when done within reasonable limits, but excessive, erratic trade entries and exits can indicate an attempt to game the system rather than employ skill-based trading.
🔹 Martingale Strategy – Placing multiple trades (five or more) on the same currency pair while in drawdown is not a sustainable approach. This type of trade stacking increases risk exposure exponentially and is classified as a gambling strategy rather than a risk-managed method.
🔹 "All-In" Trading – Executing a single high-risk trade without proper risk management—such as trading without a stop-loss or risking more than the maximum drawdown limit—is strictly prohibited. Taking extreme risks in hopes of either passing the challenge or failing the account does not align with responsible trading practices.

Commit to Strategic & Disciplined Trading
At NLF, we encourage traders to adopt solid risk management strategies and structured trading plans to build long-term success. Proper trade execution, discipline, and a well-thought-out risk-reward strategy are the keys to becoming a consistently profitable trader.
By following these principles, you ensure a fair and professional trading environment—one that rewards skill, discipline, and sound decision-making rather than high-risk speculation. 🚀

Types of Drawdown
Static Drawdown – The drawdown limit stays the same and doesn’t change.
Trailing Drawdown – The drawdown resets daily at 00:00 UTC based on the highest equity or balance at that time.
Static Drawdown – The drawdown resets at the daily rollover based on your balance only (not equity).
📌 Example:
📌 Example:
You have a $1,000 account and leave a trade running overnight. Your equity is $1,100, but your balance is $1,000. Your max daily drawdown is 4% of $1,000 ($40).
Trailing Drawdown – The drawdown moves up as your account’s highest equity point increases.
📌 Example:
📌 Example:
You start with $1,000 equity and a 3% trailing drawdown, meaning your initial max drawdown is $30. If your equity grows to $1,100, your new max drawdown is 3% of $1,100 ($33). If your account drops below $1,067, it would be a breach.

Instant Funding FAQ
Instant Funded Account Overview
Get instant access to simulated funding — no evaluation phase required. Start with up to $50,000 in simulated capital, while operating under a 4% maximum drawdown limit.
All fees are fully refundable once you successfully complete your third payout.
Our Instant Funded Accounts feature a 2% daily loss limit and a 4% maximum drawdown, ensuring you stay within responsible trading boundaries.
Trading Rules & Limits
Daily Loss Limit: 2%
Each day at 00:00 UTC, your daily loss limit is recalculated based on the higher value between your account’s balance or equity at that time.
Your limit will be set at 2% of that value. If you exceed this limit at any point during the day, your simulated funded account will be terminated.
Maximum Loss Limit: 4%
Your maximum drawdown is based on the highest virtual account balance or equity ever recorded — whichever is greater.
A 4% trailing drawdown applies as your account grows, but it locks once it reaches your original starting balance.
For example:
- If you start with $10,000 and grow it to $10,100, your maximum loss is set at 4% of $10,100, meaning the account would breach if it falls to $9,696.
The trailing drawdown stops moving once it hits your starting balance.
Always keep this in mind as you secure profits.
Always keep this in mind as you secure profits.
The trailing max drawdown will lock once it reaches your starting balance. Please keep this in mind when recording profits on your account.

Consistency & Risk Management Rules
To maintain your funded account and continue receiving payouts, the following rules must be followed:
- 20% Consistency Rule:Your most profitable trading day cannot exceed 25% of your total accumulated profits on the account.
- Max Single Loss vs. Max Single Win:Your largest loss on a single trade must not exceed your largest win on a single trade.
Violations & Account Termination
Breaking any of the rules outlined above — including daily loss limits, maximum loss limits, consistency violations, or using prohibited strategies — will result in immediate termination of your simulated funded account.
All other standard trading restrictions and prohibited activities also apply.
What is the Consistency Rule for Instant Funding?
To qualify for payouts on Instant Funded accounts, you must follow the 20% Consistency Rule. This rule is in place to encourage steady, repeatable trading — not random big wins or lucky spikes.
How it Works
- Your most profitable trading day must not be more than 20% of your total profits when you request a payout.
- If your biggest winning day exceeds 20%, your payout will be denied until your account is back in compliance.
✅ Total profits are calculated as the amount above your starting balance. If you go into drawdown and recover, only the gains above your original balance are counted — recovery gains don’t add to your "profit total."
Examples
Example 1:
- Starting balance: $10,000
- Grows to: $12,000
- Total profit: $2,000
- 20% of $2,000 = $400
- Your biggest single-day profit must not exceed $400.
Example 2:
- You dip into a $500 drawdown but climb back to break even.
- Then grow your balance to $11,500.
- Total profit: $1,500
- 20% of $1,500 = $300
- Your biggest single-day profit must not exceed $300.
Quick Tip to Check Compliance
If you’re not sure whether you meet the rule, you can use this shortcut:
- Take your highest single-day profit and divide it by 0.2.
- That’s the minimum total profit you need to qualify.
Example:
- Best day = $500 profit
- $500 ÷ 0.2 = $2,500
- You need at least $2,500 total profit to request a payout.
Important Notes
- We factor in fees and commissions when calculating your daily profit.
- For example:
If you open 10 trades and end the day with $500 after fees, the full $500 counts toward the consistency rule. - This rule is not a hard breach.If you miss the consistency requirement, your payout will simply be paused, and we’ll explain how you can get your account back on track.
Trading consistently shows that you have discipline, control, and a repeatable skill set — exactly the kind of traders we want to support at higher levels of funding.
How does the maximum loss limit work on my Instant Funded account?
Simulated Maximum Loss on Instant Funded Accounts?
On Instant accounts, the simulated maximum total loss allowed in your account is 4% from your highest recorded balance or equity.
The simulated max total loss is set at 4% of your highest recorded virtual balance or equity, and will change depending on the high mark of your account.Your account equity including unrealized/floating positions must not hit/exceed below the maximum loss.
Example 1:
Starting virtual account balance: $10,000
Simulated Maximum Drawdown: 4% of $10,000 = $400
Simulated Max drawdown level starting off: $10,000 - $400 = $9,600
Simulated Maximum Drawdown: 4% of $10,000 = $400
Simulated Max drawdown level starting off: $10,000 - $400 = $9,600
Example 2:
After the first day of trading, you earn a virtual profit of $300, resulting in a new virtual
balance of $10,500. Your simulated Max Drawdown is recalculated based on this
highest recorded virtual balance or equity.
New Simulated Max Drawdown: 4% of $10,300 = $412
Max Simulated drawdown level: $10,300 - $412 = $9,888
balance of $10,500. Your simulated Max Drawdown is recalculated based on this
highest recorded virtual balance or equity.
New Simulated Max Drawdown: 4% of $10,300 = $412
Max Simulated drawdown level: $10,300 - $412 = $9,888
Example 3:
On the second trading day, if you incur a virtual loss of $100, your new starting balance for the next trading day becomes $10,400. However, your Simulated Max Drawdown level remains unchanged as it continues to trail your highest recorded virtual balance or equity.
Max drawdown level: $9,888
Max drawdown level: $9,888
Example 4:
On the 3rd day of trading, you reach a highest recorded equity of $10,500. This means your Simulated Max Drawdown level will have reached the starting balance of $10,000, and will lock at this level for the lifetime of the account.
Violations
Any violation of the rules above will result in the termination of your simulated trading account and you will not be eligible to move forward in the program with that account. Please note both the simulated daily drawdown and max drawdown breach on an account include simulated commissions, simulated swap fees, and simulated dividends as well.

Upcoming Enhancements: 100% Profit Split & Instant Withdrawals
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving trader experience, Next Level Funded is actively working on introducing account add-ons that will further enhance withdrawal flexibility and profitability. These upcoming features include:
✅ 100% Profit Split – Traders will have the opportunity to keep 100% of their profits from funded accounts, providing full control over their earnings.
✅ Instant Withdrawals – We are developing a system to facilitate instant payout processing, allowing traders to access their profits without waiting periods.
These enhancements are designed to give traders greater autonomy and faster access to their funds, reinforcing our mission to create a trader-first proprietary firm. Stay tuned for official announcements as we roll out these exciting new features in the near future! 🚀
How Many Accounts Can I Have?
You can have up to $400,000 (2 x Funded $200k Accounts at once / 4 x Funded $100k Accounts at Once) in starting capital on funded, but you are entitled to scale the accounts to $1,000,000.
Is There a Withdrawal Limit?
1. Withdrawal Limits & Overflow System
To promote responsible trading and efficient fund management, traders are subject to the following withdrawal guidelines:
✅ Maximum Withdrawal Per Cycle – Traders can withdraw up to $10,000 every two withdrawal cycles per funded account.
✅ Profit Exceeding $10,000 – If total profits surpass $10,000 within a cycle, withdrawals will still be capped at $10,000, with any remaining balance rolling over to future cycles.
✅ Scaling & Increased Limits – As traders progress and scale their funded accounts, the maximum withdrawal limit will increase accordingly, offering greater flexibility and earning potential.
✅ Multiple Accounts Considered as One – If a trader operates multiple funded accounts, they will be treated as a single entity, and withdrawal cycles will be based on the first account's withdrawal timing.
📌 Example:
- A trader with a $100,000 funded account earns:
- $8,000 on the first withdrawal
- $6,000 on the second withdrawal
- Since the maximum per cycle is $10,000, the trader will only be able to withdraw $10,000, and the balance will reset to $100,000 after both cycles.
2. Profit Restrictions Over $5,000
To maintain risk consistency and prevent overly concentrated trading strategies, the following restrictions apply to traders who exceed $5,000 in total profits:
✅ 50% Cap on Individual Trades & Best Trading Days – No single trade or best trading day can account for more than 50% of the total profit within a given payout cycle.
✅ Profit Adjustments – If any individual trade or day exceeds 50% of the total profit, it will be adjusted down to meet the 50% cap before withdrawal approval.
📌 Example:
- A trader with a $100,000 funded account earns:
- $5,000 on Day 1
- $3,000 on Day 2
- Their total balance is now $108,000, with $6,000 withdrawable before profit split.
- If a single trade generated $10,000, only $5,000 would be counted toward withdrawal due to the 50% cap rule.
3. Maximum Lifetime Withdrawals & Scaling
At Next Level Funded, we believe in rewarding traders as they grow. To support long-term career progression, we have established a maximum lifetime withdrawal milestone:
✅ Graduation from the Next Level Program – Once a trader has withdrawn a total of $100,000 across all challenges, they will graduate from the Next Level program, marking a significant achievement in their funded trading journey.
✅ Increased Withdrawal Limits – As traders continue to scale their accounts beyond this milestone, their maximum withdrawal limits will increase accordingly, providing greater earning potential and long-term sustainability.
Commitment to a Structured & Rewarding Trading Environment
At Next Level Funded, we are committed to fostering a professional trading ecosystem that balances profitability, risk management, and long-term trader success. Our Overflow System ensures that payouts remain efficient, sustainable, and aligned with industry best practices.
By adhering to these structured withdrawal guidelines, traders can build a profitable, scalable, and disciplined trading career with Next Level Funded. 🚀
Do You Allow Scaling?
To successfully scale your trading account, you will need to adhere to the following criteria:
1. Achieve a consistent monthly profit: You are required to generate a 10% profit over a 4-month period, with a minimum target of 2.5% profit per month.
2. Monthly withdrawals: It is essential that you make at least one withdrawal each month during this scaling period.
3. Account Growth: Upon meeting these performance requirements, your account balance will be increased by 25%.
4. Ongoing Scaling: This scaling process is designed to be repeated over subsequent cycles, enabling your account to grow progressively until you reach a total balance of $1,000,000.
As you scale your account, your maximum withdrawal cap will also increase. However, please note that the withdrawal limit per cycle will remain consistent.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively scale your account while ensuring ongoing growth and consistent performance.

Understanding the Daily Reset in Our 1-Step Challenges
In our 1-Step Challenges, the Daily Reset is based on the High Watermark—the highest value reached by either your balance or equity at any given time. This ensures that your trailing drawdown adjusts daily in line with your best performance, creating a fair, transparent, and trader-friendly environment.
We implement the High Watermark method because it upholds the integrity of the challenge while rewarding consistency and effective risk management. Unlike a balance-only reset, which could allow traders to carry significant floating losses without consequences, or an equity-only reset, which may fluctuate too frequently, the High Watermark strikes the perfect balance. It protects your hard-earned gains while allowing flexibility in your trading strategy. This approach is widely adopted by top-tier prop firms and ensures that all traders compete on a level playing field. By focusing on sound risk management and steady performance, you position yourself for long-term success—and we’re here to support you every step of the way. 🚀
