How Arka Terminal Supports FundedNext's Rules
Four tools in the terminal map directly to FundedNext's limits.
Daily loss
Each Trade Sized Against the Daily Limit
The full order window opens with 1% of the balance at risk, well inside FundedNext's 5% daily allowance.
- Risk-based sizing
- The stop is set at the recent average true range, the target at twice that distance, and the volume follows from 1% of the balance at risk.
- Pre-trade Check
- Before submission, the check states the loss at the stop in money and as a share of equity, and flags any trade above 1%.
- Floating losses count
- FundedNext counts realised and floating P&L, swaps and commissions toward the daily limit.
3% risk cap
Total Risk Across Open Positions
On funded accounts the 3% cap applies to all open risk together. The terminal shows the positions on a symbol as one total.
- Group stop line
- One line sets the stop or target for every position on a symbol and shows what they add up to at that price.
- Close by kind
- Close buys, sells, winners, losers or all positions, with the floating P&L and share of the balance shown first.
- Net exposure
- The positions panel nets exposure by symbol across the account.
News rule
Releases Flagged Before the 5-Minute Window
On funded accounts, profit from trades within 5 minutes of high-impact news counts at 40%. The terminal flags major releases 15 minutes ahead.
- Release alerts
- A notice 15 minutes before a release rated four stars or above on a symbol with open positions, and again once it is out.
- Releases on the chart
- Releases rated three stars and above sit on the time axis with previous, forecast and actual figures.
- AI previews
- Releases rated four stars and above carry an AI preview before and an AI reading after.
Short trades
Every Trade Recorded on the Chart
FundedNext limits profit from trades closed within 30 seconds. The journal records every closed trade with its entry, exit and holding time.
- Trades on the chart
- Entries, exits and the path between them are drawn on the bars where they occurred.
- Two-way lookup
- Select a trade on the chart to find it in History, or a row in History to move the chart to it.
- Trade statistics
- Win rate, profit factor and the equity curve in the History panel, with CSV export.
Arka Terminal does not read FundedNext's limits or close positions on the trader's behalf. These tools make risk visible before and during each trade; compliance with FundedNext's rules remains the trader's responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Arka Terminal be used with a FundedNext account?
Yes, with a FundedNext MT4 or MT5 account. cTrader and Match-Trader accounts cannot be connected.
Does Arka Terminal track the FundedNext daily loss limit?
Not automatically, as it does not read FundedNext's limits. Risk-based sizing, the Pre-trade Check and the positions panel show the loss at stake on each trade and across the account.
How is the FundedNext daily loss calculated?
As a percentage of initial balance: 5% on Stellar 2-Step, 3% on Stellar 1-Step and 4% on Stellar Lite. Realised and floating P&L, swaps and commissions count, and the limit resets at 0:00 server time.
Is news trading allowed at FundedNext?
Yes. On funded accounts, trades within 5 minutes of high-impact news on a related instrument count for 40% of their profit.
Can US residents use Arka Terminal with FundedNext?
No. FundedNext offers US residents Match-Trader only, and Arka Terminal connects to MetaTrader accounts only.
