| Risk & Drawdown Rules | ||
| Max Daily Loss | 5 | Maximum Daily LossHola Prime uses percentage-based daily loss limits that reset daily at 17:00 EST (server time) and are calculated from the previous day’s closing balance (with equity/balance breach checks intraday).1-Step Pro (Challenge + Hola Prime Account): 3% daily loss (previous day closing balance).2-Step Pro (Phase 1/2 + Hola Prime Account): 5% daily loss of the previous day’s closing balance (4% daily loss for $200k accounts).Direct Account (Hola Prime Account): 3% daily loss (previous day closing balance). |
| Max Total Loss | 10 | Maximum Overall LossOverall loss models vary by program:1-Step Pro: 6% maximum overall loss based on initial balance (static overall loss limit).2-Step Pro: 8% maximum overall loss based on initial balance (static overall loss limit) across phases and on the resulting Hola Prime Account.Direct Account: 5% trailing maximum drawdown from the initial balance, tracking the account’s high watermark until specific locking conditions are met; falling below the trailing line breaches the account. |
| Drawdown Type | 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. | Drawdown ModelHola Prime combines a dynamic daily loss limit (based on the previous day’s closing balance) with program-specific overall drawdown models.Pro models: Daily loss is dynamic by previous-day close; overall loss is typically a static percentage of initial balance (varies by 1-step vs 2-step).Direct Account: Uses a classic trailing drawdown mechanism (high-watermark tracking). This structure can force tighter profit protection as the trailing threshold rises with new equity highs. |
| Payouts | ||
| Payout Frequency | 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. | Payout FrequencyHola Prime offers multiple payout structures depending on the plan selected at checkout and/or the account type.Cycle-based payouts (where offered): Weekly (65% split), Bi-weekly (80% split), and Monthly (95% split). Once chosen, the payout cycle cannot be changed.Bi-weekly/monthly profitability criteria (plan-dependent): Bi-weekly cycles may require a minimum of 3 profitable trading days within a 14-day period; monthly cycles may require 7 profitable trading days within a 30-day period (a profitable day is typically defined as at least 0.5% net... |
| Days to First Payout | 5 | 7 |
| Payout Processing Time | 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. | Payout ProcessingHola Prime markets “1-hour payouts.” Payout requests are submitted through the client/dashboard flow and are typically processed rapidly once approved; actual arrival time depends on the chosen method (bank wires can take longer than crypto rails even if released quickly by the firm). |

| Trading Permissions | ||
| News Trading | 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. | Pro models: News trading is allowed during challenge phases, but funded-stage (Hola Prime Account) trading can be restricted around high-impact news (e.g., no opening/closing/modifying within a defined window such as 5 minutes before/after for affected instruments).Prime models: The firm positions Prime accounts as more flexible for swing/news styles (plan-specific).Direct Account: News trading is not allowed. |
| Weekend Trades | 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. | Pro models: Weekend holding is allowed during challenge phases, but funded-stage Pro accounts generally require positions to be closed ahead of weekend market close (auto-closure procedures may apply).Prime models: Prime accounts are marketed as more swing-friendly and can allow weekend holding (plan-specific).Direct Account: Weekend holding is not allowed. |
| Copy Trading | 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. | Copy trading is permitted only between accounts personally owned by the same trader. Copying third-party trades or group trading patterns can be treated as a rule violation. Additionally, identically traded strategies across multiple funded accounts that exceed the firm’s maximum allocation thresholds can result in suspensions. |
| EA Allowed | 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. | Expert Advisors (EAs) and algorithmic trading are permitted in principle, but traders remain responsible for ensuring their automation does not trigger prohibited trading practices, group-trading flags, or allocation-limit breaches (e.g., multiple traders using the same third-party EA settings may be denied/terminated under the firm’s allocation and strategy duplication controls). |
| KYC & Restrictions | ||
| KYC Required | Yes | No |
| KYC Stage | 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. | KYC is required as part of Hola Prime’s onboarding and risk workflow. Traders may be asked to upload KYC documents and sign agreements during/after passing evaluation (and prior to funded account issuance and/or payouts), with documents and contracts typically handled inside the dashboard “Agreements” flow. |
