Rule by rule
The trailing drawdown rises only on CLOSED profits (equity never moves it) and locks at the initial balance once you gain the drawdown amount; Pro uses a static 8% and Signature an EOD trail of $1,000–$4,500 by size.
The daily limit (3–5% by model) is anchored to the INITIAL balance, not the day's, and max loss is a static 6–10% floor; only Stellar Instant uses a 6% trailing equity line.
A hard daily limit (fixed dollars off initial balance) of 3% on One and 2.5% on Pro that permanently closes the account on an equity or balance touch; Signature only has a soft 2% pause in the Performance stage.
Hard daily limit of 3–5% of initial balance by model (Instant has none), with swaps counted in the calculation — exceeding it breaches the account.
A best-day rule only in the funded stage: your top day can't exceed 40% (One) or 35% (Signature) of total profit when requesting a payout — the payout is merely deferred, the account survives; Pro has none.
No current Stellar model has a consistency rule — though the news rule counting only 40% of profit in ±5-minute windows acts as a stealth haircut.
Single phase: $4,500 (9%) target, no minimum days; $3,000 (6%) max drawdown, $2,000 (4%) daily.
Targets by phase: 1-Step 10% (no time limit, min 2 days); 2-Step 8% Phase 1 and 5% Phase 2 (min 5 days per phase); Lite 8% and 4%; Instant no target. Stellar Lite minimum days conflict (5 vs 2 across their own pages).
First payout from just 3 days into the funded stage (daily on Pro and Zero), at an 80/90/100% split chosen at purchase and paid via Rise or WorkMarket, subject to the best-day rule.
First payout at 21 days then every 14 (every 5 business days on 1-Step), at a base 80% split rising to 90% via Scale-Up — the advertised '95%' is in unresolved documented conflict.
$50K single-phase: one-time $288 (~$260 with code E8), no monthly or activation fee.
Stellar 2-Step and 1-Step 50K: $299.99 list; Stellar Lite 50K: $229.99. No activation fee; one-time $25 fee for cTrader/Match-Trader (non-refundable, waived in the US). Paid reset after a breach. The 200K 2-Step price conflicts across their own pages ($999 vs $1,099.99).
