Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss 5 Maximum Daily LossDaily drawdown is program-based and calculated from the daily starting equity (platform server time, UTC+2). Gold uses a 4% daily drawdown. Silver, Bronze and Copper use a 5% daily drawdown. Diamond Instant has no daily drawdown (only a total drawdown limit).Daily drawdown includes both open and closed PnL; breaching it can switch the account into read-only mode and close trades.
Max Total Loss 10 Maximum Overall LossOverall drawdown is static (relative to the initial account value) and includes both open and closed PnL. Gold and Diamond Instant use a 6% max overall drawdown. Silver, Bronze and Copper use a 10% max overall drawdown.
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 ModelRebelsFunding uses static drawdown limits: (1) a daily drawdown that resets from a daily starting-equity snapshot (where applicable), and (2) an overall drawdown measured from the initial account equity (not a trailing high-watermark model). Diamond Instant removes the daily limit and enforces only the static overall cap.
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 FrequencyRewards are requested via the client zone. For standard RCF accounts, the first reward can be requested no earlier than 14 days after opening the first trade on the RCF account (and after closing trades and meeting the minimum-profit rule). For Diamond Instant, the RCF reward structure is tied to 10% minimum profit milestones (the account levels up after each 10% target).

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 ProcessingRebelsFunding does not publish a single guaranteed processing window on its public rules pages. Rewards are requested via the client zone after meeting eligibility requirements and are then paid through the chosen payout rail (primarily Riseworks).

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. News trading is not stated as fully banned, but RebelsFunding recommends avoiding major releases (NFP, GDP, FOMC) and its terms prohibit opening excessive trades when significant news/macro events are planned.
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. RebelsFunding states that cryptocurrency trading is closed during weekends on RF-Trader for maintenance and platform stability reasons. Other markets follow their normal market hours (typically weekday sessions).
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 not presented as a supported feature. Strategies that hedge across linked accounts or other companies are prohibited, and trade splitting across correlated markets is treated as one “real trade” and may be flagged as suspicious behavior.
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/robots are not allowed on the RF-Trader training platform; RebelsFunding states it is not possible to run any EA on its training trading platform (manual trading is preferred).
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required Yes Yes
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 mandatory before an RCF account is launched and rewards are paid. RebelsFunding uses electronic onboarding and verification (e.g., document upload/signing via Docusign/Eversign and identity verification via Veriff) and requires valid, non-expired government ID.
