The short version
What actually separates them
5 fields on the record split DayTraders and FundedNext Futures — the three that change how you trade are here. Everything else either matches or is not on the record yet.
Intraday trailing tightens against your open profit; end-of-day trailing only resets at the close; static never moves. This is the rule most likely to end an account.
A consistency cap limits how much of your total profit one day may contribute, so a single outsized winner can delay a payout.
Entry cost for the cheapest account each firm sells, before any live discount.
Identical on both: daily loss limit.
Not comparable yet: trader profit split — at least one of the two firms has no figure on record, so we do not draw a conclusion from it. A blank here means we have not confirmed the rule, not that the firm has none.
