The Verdict
Choose FTMO for forex and futures with the highest confidence — their Excellent score reflects verified payouts, clear rules, and 10+ years of operation. The rule clarity alone justifies the premium. Choose FundedNext only if you specifically need crypto instruments on your prop account. Their Average score reflects newer operational history and a two-step evaluation that is harder to pass — but for crypto-native traders, the instrument access outweighs those disadvantages.
