| Risk & Drawdown Rules | ||
| Max Daily Loss | Maximum Daily LossDaily loss limits vary by program but are always defined as a percentage of the end-of-day reference value (higher of balance or equity at 5 p.m. EST).1-Step: ~4% daily loss.2-Step / Prime 2-Step: ~5% daily loss.Rapid: 3% daily loss.Instant Lite: 2% daily loss.Instant Elite: primarily governed by a 10% total loss limit rather than a fixed daily cap.Breaching the daily loss limit at any point in the session is treated as a hard rule violation. | 5 |
| Max Total Loss | Maximum Overall LossMaximum total drawdown at Blueberry Funded is static on most programs:1-Step: 6% max total loss from the starting balance.2-Step / Prime 2-Step / Synthetic: 10% max total loss.Rapid: 4% max total loss on evaluation (and typically 6% funded).Instant Lite: 4% max total loss.Instant Elite: 10% max total loss.If equity falls below the allowed loss floor at any time, the account is considered breached and closed. | 10 |
| Drawdown Type | Drawdown ModelMost Blueberry Funded accounts use a static drawdown model for lifetime loss, with the maximum loss defined as a fixed percentage of the starting balance and a balance/equity snapshot used each day for daily loss.The Rapid and some instant styles effectively act like a trailing drawdown within their short evaluation windows, where the permitted loss tracks equity highs more closely and encourages faster profit protection. | Stellar 1-Step / 2-Step / Lite: Daily Loss and Maximum Loss are calculated from the initial balance of the phase and include closed + floating PnL (plus commissions/fees). The daily limit resets at 00:00 (server time GMT+2). The maximum loss threshold is fixed as a percentage of the initial balance, while the “maximum permitted loss” displayed can expand or shrink with accumulated profit/loss within a trading cycle.Stellar Instant: Uses a 6% trailing maximum loss limit that ratchets upward with profits; it does not reset after withdrawals. |
| Payouts | ||
| Payout Frequency | Payout FrequencyFunded accounts at Blueberry Funded typically pay out every 14 days. Some account types and add-ons may allow a 7-day cycle once initial conditions are met, but bi-weekly payouts are the standard.Payout eligibility usually requires at least 3 distinct trading days with closed profit and a funded account that finishes the cycle in net profit of at least $100 after the profit split. | Payout Frequency (Performance Rewards)Payout timing depends on the account model:Stellar 1-Step FundedNext Account: rewards are requested on a 5 business day cycle (first and subsequent cycles).Stellar 2-Step & Stellar Lite FundedNext Accounts: first reward is available after an initial 21-day cycle, then bi-weekly (every 14 days) thereafter if eligibility is met; a “Bi-Weekly Reward” add-on can bypass the initial 21-day wait.Stellar Instant: first reward is available after 5 business days, then rewards can be requested on-demand, subject to eligibility and trailing drawdown buffer rules. |
| Days to First Payout | 14 | 5 |
| Payout Processing Time | Payout ProcessingOnce a payout request is approved, Blueberry Funded processes withdrawals using a mix of direct crypto transfers and RiseWorks-managed payments. Crypto payouts are usually completed fastest, while larger sums via RiseWorks may take a few extra days due to banking and compliance checks.Average processing time is around 1–4 business days, after which arrival depends on the chosen method and the receiving bank or wallet. | Payout ProcessingPerformance Reward requests are submitted through the FundedNext dashboard. Processing time can vary based on compliance checks, payout method/provider, and request volume; allow additional time for bank/crypto settlement after approval. |

| Trading Permissions | ||
| News Trading | Blueberry Funded enforces strict high-impact news restrictions. Traders must not open or close trades within a short window (commonly 2–10 minutes) before or after red-folder news. This includes take-profit closures as well as new orders.A stop-loss exception usually applies for trades opened several hours earlier – if a pre-set stop-loss is hit during the news window, that closure is generally allowed. | News trading is generally allowed across FundedNext CFD models, but FundedNext applies ‘restricted news time’ rules on funded accounts: if trades are executed during restricted high-impact, instrument-correlated news windows, a portion of the profit can be removed during cycle review (commonly referenced as a 40% deduction on affected profits). Stellar Instant has a distinct news-time profit treatment where FundedNext may retain a larger share of profits generated during designated news time. |
| Weekend Trades | Weekend and overnight holding is generally permitted. Traders may keep positions open across market close and reopen, and crypto markets can often be traded through the weekend, subject to platform hours. Some faster programs (e.g. Rapid) may impose additional weekend execution restrictions, but carrying positions is typically allowed. | Overnight and weekend holding is allowed across all active CFD account types (Stellar Instant, Stellar 1-Step, Stellar 2-Step, Stellar Lite). Swap charges (unless swap-free) can impact floating PnL and therefore drawdown calculations. |
| Copy Trading | Copy trading is allowed only between your own Blueberry Funded accounts and via supported tools such as the Prop Firm One (PF1) integration. Copying from or to external personal accounts, signal services or other traders’ prop accounts is not permitted, nor is managing third-party money through a Blueberry Funded account. | Copy trading is allowed only between your own FundedNext Challenge accounts (one ‘master’ and one or more ‘slave’ accounts) as long as total combined Challenge capital does not exceed $300,000. Copy trading is prohibited between any FundedNext Account and any other FundedNext Account or Challenge account (even if you own them). Cloud-based copy services are not allowed; VPS-based copiers are permitted only for copying between your own Challenge accounts. |
| EA Allowed | Expert Advisors (EAs) and algorithmic trading bots are allowed on many accounts, provided they do not employ forbidden behaviours such as HFT, latency arbitrage, martingale, grid or hyper-scalping styles.EAs are expected to mirror how a prudent manual trader would behave under the same risk limits; systems that consistently push margins, daily loss or position stacking limits are likely to be flagged. | EAs/automation are supported on MT4/MT5 (and platform-native automation where applicable). Match-Trader is positioned for manual trading and does not support MetaTrader-style EAs. Any automation must still comply with FundedNext’s prohibited strategy and fair-use rules. |
| KYC & Restrictions | ||
| KYC Required | Yes | Yes |
| KYC Stage | As a broker-backed prop firm, Blueberry Funded must perform KYC/AML checks, especially before larger withdrawals via RiseWorks. Traders should be prepared to provide government-issued ID and, where requested, proof of address and source-of-funds information. Failure to pass KYC can lead to account closure and cancellation of pending payouts. | KYC (identity verification) is required after passing a Stellar Challenge and before a FundedNext Account is issued. Traders upload government-issued ID (and in some cases proof of address) via the dashboard Verification Center; once approved, FundedNext typically issues the FundedNext Account within 48–72 hours. KYC must be completed within 30 days after passing, otherwise the account can become inactive. |
