There is a modest pricing gap between these firms. IQ Capital comes in at $49 for the $50K evaluation while the other charges $71 — a $22 difference. That is roughly the cost of a reset at most firms, so it is worth factoring in if you budget for multiple attempts. Check available FundedNext Futures discount codes and IQ Capital discount codes for additional savings.
The profit split gap is notable. FundedNext Futures returns 95% of your profits, putting $950 in your pocket for every $1,000 earned. The other firm's 90% split means you would receive $900 on that same amount — a $50 per-thousand difference that scales with every payout.
IQ Capital provides $3,000 of drawdown room compared to $1,500 — an extra $1,500 buffer that can be the difference between surviving a losing streak and blowing an account.
FundedNext Futures sets the bar lower with a $2,500 profit target versus $3,000.
