Additional Rules
Single-phase evaluation: Traders must reach a 10% profit target in one phase with a minimum of 2 trading days — making it the fastest path to funding at FundedNext, but with the tightest risk parameters of any Stellar challenge.
Balance-based static drawdown: Both the daily and maximum loss limits are calculated from the initial account balance, not from peak equity — meaning profits made during the challenge do not tighten the drawdown buffer.
Daily loss limit: A fixed 3% daily loss limit applies, calculated from the initial balance at the start of each trading day and resets at server midnight. This is the tightest daily limit across all FundedNext CFD challenges.
Maximum loss limit: The total account loss cannot exceed 6% of the initial balance at any point during the challenge or funded stage — 40% tighter than the Stellar 2-Step.
Minimum trading days: At least 2 separate trading days with a minimum of 1 trade per day are required — days do not need to be consecutive. An add-on is available to remove this requirement entirely at an additional 25% cost.
Fee refund on passing: The full challenge subscription fee is refunded upon passing the phase and receiving the first payout, making the evaluation effectively free if passed successfully.
Challenge profit share: During the evaluation phase, traders receive 15% of the profits they generate — allowing earnings even before becoming officially funded.
Profit split: Stellar 1-Step accounts start at 90% profit share from the first payout — higher than the 80% starting split on the Stellar 2-Step and Stellar Lite models.
News trading: Permitted across all instruments, but any profit made within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event is capped at 40% for the trader's account, while 100% of losses during news apply in full.
EAs allowed: Expert Advisors are permitted on MT4 and MT5 only — not on cTrader or Match-Trader. Hidden EAs, latency arbitrage, and platform manipulation are strictly prohibited.
No consistency rule: FundedNext does not impose a consistency rule on any CFD account — traders can have uneven trading days without risk of account termination due to profit distribution imbalances.
Benchmark Days in funded stage: Before requesting a payout, traders must complete at least 5 Benchmark Days with a minimum closed profit per day. Payouts can then be requested every 5 days, with withdrawals guaranteed to be processed within 24 hours.
First payout window: The first payout can be requested 5 days after completing the required Benchmark Days — significantly faster than the 21-day wait on the Stellar 2-Step.
Copy trading restriction: Copy trading is allowed only between accounts owned by the same trader. Copy trading between different individuals is strictly prohibited and results in immediate account termination.
Razor-thin margin: The combination of a 10% profit target with only a 6% max drawdown and a 3% daily limit leaves almost no room for error — a single bad day can consume half the total allowable drawdown.
Leverage reduction: Forex leverage on the Stellar 1-Step is capped at 1:30, compared to 1:100 on the Stellar 2-Step — limiting position sizing and making the 10% target proportionally harder to reach for traders who rely on higher leverage.
News profit cap asymmetry: The 40% profit cap during news events applies only to gains — all losses during the same window are counted in full, creating a disproportionate risk for news traders.
3% daily limit trap: One strong losing session can use up the entire daily limit and leave the account inactive for the rest of the day, requiring a manual reset before trading can resume.
Drawdown reset risk on full withdrawal: Withdrawing 100% of profits resets the drawdown buffer back to the starting balance, which reduces the margin for further losses and increases account risk in the next trading cycle.
Scale-up breach consequence: A breach on a scaled account resets all scaling progress to zero with no recovery mechanism — the larger the scaled account, the greater the financial consequence of a single drawdown breach.

Scaling Plan
Balance-based scale-up: Every four months, FundedNext reviews the funded account. If all eligibility criteria are met, the account balance increases by 40%, allowing traders to manage progressively larger capital up to a maximum of $4,000,000.
No profit target in funded stage: Once in the funded account, there is no profit target to hit — traders only need to respect drawdown rules and complete Benchmark Days to qualify for payouts.
Performance review cycle: The 40% scale-up is not automatic — it requires the trader to close all open trades before requesting a review and to contact support before starting a new trading cycle.
Loss cycle reset: If the last review cycle ends in a net loss, the trader must complete another full 4-month cycle before becoming eligible for the next scale-up, even if the account has grown overall.
Consistent rules throughout scaling: The daily loss limit, maximum loss limit, and trading rules remain unchanged as the account scales — only the dollar amounts increase proportionally with the new balance.
Breach resets scaling progress: A breach on a scaled FundedNext account terminates that specific account and resets its scaling progress to zero — no additional drawdown cushion or soft-reset mechanism is provided at any scaling tier.
Maximum allocation: Traders can merge multiple FundedNext accounts up to a combined maximum of $300,000, and scale further from there up to the $4,000,000 ceiling through the review-based plan.
