FUNDEDNEXT $100K Free Trial Challenge with NSG

Yes. here's the screenshot of the trades I held overnight.

The commissions are low, but the swaps are very high.
For Example, on this Silver trade position,
0.2 lot size has -$20.02 swap fee, but commission is -$0.60
0.05 lot size has -$5.01 swap fee, but commission is -$0.15

This means they are charging-
-$1.01 swap fee per night on 0.01 lot size
-$10.01 swap fee per night on 0.1 lot size.
-$100.01 swap fee per night on 1.0 lot size.

Case Scenario: This means If I hold one position of Gold or Silver overnight for 5 days with a 0.1 lot size, that means I'll incur -$50.01 as swap fee.
If I have 5 positions running for the 5 days, it means -$250 goes as swap fee for the week.

Bigger Picture: If I'm holding 1.00 lot size position on Gold or Silver for the week say Mon to Friday, it would mean -$100 per night for swap fee and -$500 per week, if I had 5 positions running that would mean -$2500 for swap fee.

Comment: This swap charges on FundedNext only favors day trading because there's no point swinging Gold or Silver when half of your profit or loses will go to swap fees, except you'll be using smaller lot size but even with that, it's safer to trade intraday.

That okay but also take into consideration the present market environment, currently on risk off

$20 for a 0.2 lot size is very high swap fee charged by fundednext

The silver trade by now should have recovered all your losses

Yes. It recovered the loses yesterday and FOMC came and put me in drawdown again that yesterday (-4%) both my running trades and the trades I took yesterday is what summed up to 17 trades in total.
But I've recovered everything back today and I'm 1% up with only 4 trade positions.

DAY 3 Trading Summary 1 (Wed 16th Sept 2026)

Yesterday, the running trades on XAGUSD recovered my losses (-1.5%) and gave +0.6% on the account when I closed the trades in the morning. From $98400 the Account was back up to $100,670.

During London Session, I re-entered XAGUSD and had it running till FOMC.

And during New York session, I took GBPCAD sells (profit), EURUSD buys (loss), GBPUSD buys (loss). The account was on breakeven as at when I closed these trades.

FOMC took out my SL in XAGUSD and the account is currently at -$96,049.10 (4% down)

Observation: FundedNext Charges swap and it is very high and they allow news trading.

I took 4 trades today. 2 positions on Gold, 2 positions on Silver.
Silver is still pumping, if I was still holding, would have been 2% up. I took Gold as well.
So, both Gold and Silver Buys recovered the loses and I had planned on holding them till TP to pass the phase, but as I saw gold start its drama, I just closed the profit. Yesterday's experience was enough. let me take profit and rest tomorrow is another day.
Gold and Silver will continue pumping cause the bearish consolidation phase is over, and price is ready to continue its rally. I'll look for re-entries tomorrow or next week.

This is an amazing work, you have done well bro, that's the plan, no much trade take at least 2 or 1 for a day on a single pair or two pairs that focus will help you rather than jumping from one to the other

Thank You. I'll ensure to keep to the discipline. just that somedays will always be more tempting to deviate than others. But everyday is always an opportunity to get better in the skill.

This is a good start, continue with same plan, if you do well they can give you an account to pay later if only they have such options because GFT has it

Swaps and hidden fees are one reason day trading remains more profitable than swing trading, brokers can just manipulate the swaps and slam it on you; lets not even talk about overnight gapping

Yes definitely I will post my own trade today and my observation on my propfirm although it didn't go as expected I didn't loss but I didn't make up to my expected 0.5% but there is still another time to do that

Day 3 Trading Summary 2 (Wed 16th Sept 2026)
I took 4 trade setups yesterday.

A total of 17 trade positions was recorded yesterday. 5 trade positions were carryovers, while 12 trades where the actual trades I took.
EURUSD- 1 position (loss) less than -0.2%)
GBPUSD- 1 position (loss) less than -0.1%)
GBPCAD- 1 position (win) 0.25%)
XAGUSD- 14 positions (carryover included) (win + loss = -2%)

Yesterday's Closing Account Balance: -$96,000 estimate. (-4%)

Comment: Yesterday was really a great lesson day for me. I started the day good, but ended it bad, because I couldn't discipline myself to stay away from the market after taking profits on silver trades I carried over the previous day.
It felt like the day was still long to sit without trading because I took profit since 7am in the morning, and I had a whole day ahead of me. So, I had decided to revisit the Silver trade setup and since I was still convinced the buy potentials were still high probability, that's why I reentered. I held all throughout the day till FOMC that came and turn the tides around. Price reversed just immediately it took my SL at first it felt like stop hunting, but I realized it was not. The re-entries were impatient entries, and the lot sizes was not really fitting for that current price level and that didn't allow enough room for me to place my SL properly. After that loss, subsequent positions were emotional trades I had to shut down charts and look for mobile games to play and go out to look for food to eat Just to take my mind off the losses because staying on the chart was making me FOMO and revengeful. That's why the losses where that deep.

My lesson from yesterday's experience is to ensure to use the right lot size for re-entries and to tune it down when I know there's an upcoming news release, irrespective of my confidence about my bias. The buys I was expecting yesterday is what we saw today and I'm glad I didn't miss it despite those losses yesterday.
