FundedNext has trimmed its rulebook. In July 2026 the firm removed the 70% margin rule — a constraint on how much margin an account could use — across all existing and new accounts.
What changed
According to FundedNext’s ongoing updates, the change was comprehensive: the 70% margin rule was removed on all accounts, all current-cycle violations and warnings were cleared, no profit deductions will be applied for margin usage, and the Margin Usage Card was removed from dashboards. Reporting on the update notes the dashboard’s “Clarity Cards” set dropped from five to four as a result.
In short, a rule that could quietly generate warnings or claw back profit is simply gone.
What it means for traders
This is a clean, trader-friendly loosening. Removing an incidental rule means one fewer way to trip an account that had nothing to do with your actual edge — the same reason we weigh rule fairness heavily in the best prop firms rankings.
But keep the change in proportion. The rules that decide whether you pass and get paid are unchanged: the daily loss limit and maximum drawdown remain the hard breach lines, as covered in drawdown rules explained, and standard consistency rules still apply at payout. More margin freedom is welcome, but it doesn’t change the drawdown math — size so a normal losing streak can’t reach your floor, and know your exact breach levels with the drawdown calculator.
