• Stellar 1-Step Challenge (single phase: 10% target, 3% max daily loss, 6% max loss, min 2 trading days; payouts every 5 business days; 90% reward share in the funded stage)
• Stellar 2-Step Challenge (Phase 1: 8% target; Phase 2: 5% target; 5% daily loss; 10% max loss; min 5 trading days per phase; first payout after 21 days then bi-weekly; 80%→90% with Scale-Up)

• Legacy Express/Evaluation models were discontinued for new clients on 18 Mar 2025 (existing clients may still hold them).
Scaling Plan
FundedNext offers a Scale-Up plan for Stellar FundedNext Accounts: performance is reviewed over four consecutive months, and if the growth target is met while respecting all risk rules, the account balance can be increased (commonly by 40%) for the next cycle.
With Scale-Up, the reward share for Stellar 2-Step and Stellar Lite can increase from 80% to 90%. Repeated scaling can grow a trader’s allocation toward FundedNext’s advertised multi-million cap (commonly cited up to $4,000,000), subject to ongoing eligibility and compliance.

Drawdown Model
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.

News & Event 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.

Note: Express/Evaluation models were discontinued for new clients on 18 Mar 2025, but existing clients may still hold those legacy plans. |
Trading Permissions
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Prohibited Strategies | 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. |
Other Details
| Refund Policy (Code) | Refund / Passing RewardChallenge 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 Percent Rule (Notes) | 3% Risk GuidelineFundedNext 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 Rule (Notes) | Consistency RulesFundedNext’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. |
| Indices Leverage Max | 15 |
| Metals Leverage Max | 15 |
| Days to First Payout | 5 |
| Payout Processing Time (Days) | 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. |
| Account Merge Allowed | No |
| Max Accounts per Trader | 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 Required | 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. |
| Restricted Countries | Afghanistan, Albania, Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belize, Bouvet Island, Burundi, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Fiji, Grenada, Iran, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Mali, Myanmar, Nicaragua, North Korea, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Tuvalu, Ukraine, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen, Zimbabwe |
| Scaling Plan Availability | No |
| Other Risk Rules | Other Risk & Fair-Use Rules
|
| Spread Quality | 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. |
| Slippage Policy | 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. |
| Martingale Allowed | 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. |
| Lot Size Limits | 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. |
