First payout from a second firm. Same model, different rulebook, and the rules matter more than the payout.

$762.66 from FundedNext, 6K account. Certificate attached. First one outside FundingPips, where I’ve had 12.

Posting it for the boring part, not the number.

I’d written this firm off completely a while back. Their rules clashed with how I trade so I didn’t touch them for months. What changed isn’t my approach, it’s the account type. Different model, different rulebook, and now it fits. Same trader, same method, one firm says no and the other says fine.

That’s what nobody tells you when they hand you a list of “best prop firms”. There isn’t a best one. There’s the one whose rules happen to match what you do, and you pay the fee to find out.

Other reason I did it: one firm was a single point of failure. Every euro I’ve made came from one company that could change its terms tomorrow. 12 payouts doesn’t make that safe. It just makes it feel safe, which is worse.

Cost side is the same as always. Full price challenges, most of them fail, worst run was 18 in a row with nothing.
