Additional Rules

No evaluation phase: Traders receive immediate access to a funded account from day one, with no profit target, no challenge phases, and no waiting period. The account is activated the moment payment is confirmed.
Trailing maximum drawdown only: A 6% trailing drawdown applies from the very first trade, following the highest equity point ever reached. There is no daily loss limit on Stellar Instant, giving more intraday flexibility but requiring strict awareness of peak equity at all times.
No daily loss limit: Unlike all other FundedNext CFD models, Stellar Instant has no fixed daily loss cap. Traders can lose more than 3–5% in a single day without breaching, as long as the 6% trailing threshold from peak equity is not hit.
No minimum trading days: There is no minimum number of trading days required at any stage. Traders can trade as frequently or infrequently as their strategy demands.
On-demand payout: Once the account reaches 5% profit growth, a payout can be requested immediately with no waiting period. If the account has not yet reached 5% profit, payouts follow a bi-weekly (14-day) schedule instead.
Profit split starts at 70%: The first payout and all early payouts are at a 70% profit split, regardless of account size, rising to 80% only as higher scaling tiers are unlocked through consistent growth and withdrawals.
Fee refund on meeting requirements: The account fee is refundable upon meeting the program's eligibility criteria, making the entry cost effectively recoverable for successful traders.
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.
Weekend holding: Permitted with no restrictions or add-ons required, offering full flexibility for swing traders who hold positions across the weekend.
EAs allowed: Expert Advisors are permitted on MT4 and MT5 only. Hidden EAs, latency arbitrage, and platform manipulation are strictly prohibited.
Not available to US traders: The Stellar Instant model is not accessible to traders based in the United States. US-based traders must use Stellar Challenge models instead.
Reset option: If the account is breached, a reset costs 10% less than the original account fee, providing a lower-cost restart without purchasing a completely new account.
Trailing drawdown from first trade: The 6% trailing threshold begins following equity from the very first trade. There is no static buffer or warm-up period. A strong early gain immediately tightens the loss floor, putting pressure on subsequent trades.
Peak equity trap: Any equity high, including unrealized floating profit, moves the trailing drawdown floor upward permanently. A trader who runs a trade to a high before it reverses may find their drawdown threshold has tightened significantly even if the trade closes at breakeven.
70% split ceiling in early stage: Traders who expect immediate high profit splits may be disappointed. The 80% split only unlocks at higher scaling tiers, and the first potentially many payouts are delivered at 70%.
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 traders who rely on high-impact news volatility.
Scaling breach consequence: A breach at any scaling tier resets all progress to zero. The higher the scaled balance, the greater the financial and psychological cost of a single drawdown breach.

Scaling Plan

Performance-based balance doubling: Each time a trader reaches 10% account growth and makes a withdrawal, the account balance doubles automatically, offering a straightforward and aggressive path to larger capital without a fixed review period.
Maximum capital ceiling: The Stellar Instant scaling plan allows traders to grow up to $2,000,000 in simulated capital, making it one of the highest ceilings in the FundedNext product lineup for instant-funded accounts.
No time-based review cycle: Unlike the Stellar Challenge models which review every 4 months, the Stellar Instant scaling is triggered purely by performance. A 10% growth plus a withdrawal unlocks the next tier regardless of how long it takes.
Consistent rules throughout scaling: The 6% trailing drawdown and all 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 Stellar Instant account terminates that specific account and resets its scaling progress to zero, with no soft-reset or additional drawdown cushion provided at any scaling tier.
Profit split progression: The profit split starts at 70% and scales up to 80% as higher scaling tiers are reached through consistent performance and withdrawals.
