Rule by rule
Max loss is 10% of initial balance — static on the 2-Step and end-of-day trailing on the 1-Step — measured on equity, so floating losses count.
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.
Hard daily limit of 5% (2-Step) or 3% (1-Step) of initial capital, recalculated at CET midnight and applied to equity — touching it for an instant fails the account.
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.
The 2-Step has no consistency rule at all; the 1-Step requires your best day to stay within 50% of your positive days' profit to pass, never failing the account.
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.
Two phases: 10% ($5,000) in Phase 1 and 5% ($2,500) in Verification, minimum 4 days each; 10% ($5,000) max overall loss, 5% ($2,500) 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).
On-demand payouts from day 14 after your first trade, at a 90% split (1-Step) or 80% rising to 90% (2-Step), with the 2-Step entry fee refunded with your first withdrawal.
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.
