FundedNext

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.

FundedNext’s current CFD lineup includes four account types:

• Stellar 1-Step: 10% profit target; 3% max daily loss; 6% max loss; minimum 2 trading days; balance-based limits.
• Stellar 2-Step: 8% target (Phase 1) then 5% (Phase 2); 5% max daily loss; 10% max loss; minimum 5 trading days per phase; balance-based limits.
• Stellar Lite: 8% target (Phase 1) then 4% (Phase 2); 4% max daily loss; 8% max loss (10% max-loss add-on available); minimum 5 trading days per phase; balance-based limits.
• Stellar Instant: No evaluation/profit target; 6% trailing max loss model; on-demand rewards after eligibility.

Note: Express/Evaluation models were discontinued for new clients on 18 Mar 2025, but existing clients may still hold those legacy plans.

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 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.

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.

Prohibited/restricted strategies include gambling or ‘all-in’ behavior, high-frequency or ultra-short holding-period methods (tick scalping/quick strike), latency/arbitrage, grid trading, group hedging, account rolling, one-sided betting, hyperactivity/order flooding, exploiting demo/server errors, and any form of account/device sharing or copy-trading with other individuals.

Refund / Passing Reward

Challenge fees are generally treated as non-refundable once an account is issued. Instead, FundedNext offers a Passing Reward (refund of the registration/subscription fee) that can be claimed after meeting payout milestones in the funded stage—commonly with the first Performance Reward on Stellar 1-Step and Stellar 2-Step accounts, and with the third Performance Reward on Stellar Lite. Optional add-ons can increase the passing reward (e.g., 150% reward add-on) and/or raise lifetime reward share up to 95%.

3% Risk Guideline

FundedNext does not apply a per-trade risk limit during Challenge phases. In the funded stage (FundedNext Accounts), traders are required to keep total risk exposure to ≤3% at any given time based on stop-loss placement. If a stop-loss is not set within a short window (e.g., 3 minutes), the position can be treated as 100% risk. Violations can trigger profit reductions, tighter limits, or entry into the Disciplined Trader Program.

Consistency Rules

FundedNext’s current CFD models do not use a ‘best day’ consistency cap for payouts. Stellar Instant specifically states no consistency rules. Instead, eligibility is controlled through minimum trading days in the Challenge phases (2 days for Stellar 1-Step; 5 days per phase for Stellar 2-Step and Stellar Lite), trading-cycle based payout windows, and funded-stage risk guidelines.

Payout Processing

Performance 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.

Traders may purchase multiple Challenge Accounts. However, FundedNext caps total funded allocation at $300,000 across FundedNext Accounts; if more Challenge Accounts are passed, only up to $300k will move to the funded stage and additional passed accounts may be paused until capacity frees up (e.g., if a funded account is breached).

Copy trading is permitted only between your own Challenge Accounts (combined ≤$300k) and is prohibited between FundedNext Accounts.

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.

Other Risk & Fair-Use Rules

• Prohibited strategies: gambling/all-in behavior, high-frequency / tick scalping, latency/arbitrage, grid trading, group hedging, account rolling, exploiting platform errors, and similar abusive practices.
• Copy trading: allowed only between your own Challenge accounts (combined ≤$300k); prohibited between any FundedNext Accounts and any other accounts; cloud-based copiers are prohibited.
• Inactivity: accounts expire after 30 days of inactivity; KYC must be completed within 30 days after passing a Challenge.
• Account management & sharing: no account/device sharing; trading must be conducted by the verified trader.

Spread quality depends on account type: Raw accounts aim for tighter, near-interbank spreads with commission, while Standard accounts bake costs into wider spreads. Spreads can widen during illiquid sessions, rollovers, or major news.

Orders are executed in a simulated market environment connected to liquidity providers, so both positive and negative slippage may occur, particularly during volatile periods. Strategies intended to exploit latency, price-feed delays, or order flooding are prohibited and may result in profit removal or account termination.

FundedNext does not publish a blanket ban on martingale systems and states traders may use discretionary strategies or EAs. However, martingale-style exposure that resembles gambling, violates the funded-stage 3% risk guideline, or overlaps with restricted behaviors (e.g., grid trading) can be flagged and may lead to profit reductions, tighter limits, or termination.

FundedNext does not enforce a fixed maximum lot size for CFD Challenge Accounts or FundedNext Accounts; risk is controlled via daily/max loss limits, funded-stage risk exposure guidelines, and fair-use monitoring.
