About this rule. How much the account can lose from its opening balance before the total-loss rule is broken, using the smallest allowance across the required evaluation phases. An account bought without an evaluation uses its funded account's allowance. It is not daily headroom, live capital or a pass probability.

Read the guide: How do you calculate the opening loss allowance?
Difficulty ratio
Difficulty ratio: 2.00
How this is calculated. For each required evaluation phase, the profit target divided by that phase's opening loss allowance. The results are added.
- profit target
- 5.3% of $150,000 = $8,000
- opening loss allowance
- $4,000
- Result
- 2.00
This describes the shape of the evaluation; it is not a pass probability.
Official sources: FundedNext · Configure your plan: Futures Flex, $150K, Tradovate (checked 7 October 2026); FundedNext · Futures help: Flex challenge rules (checked 7 October 2026).
About this rule. Each required phase's profit target divided by that phase's opening loss allowance, added together. More target per dollar of allowed loss gives a higher number; an account bought without an evaluation has no target, so its ratio is 0. It describes the shape of the evaluation, not the chance of passing.
