Verified rules
Drawdown · what kills you
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.
Daily loss
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.
Consistency
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.
Targets & min days
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).
What it costs you: Hit target on day 3 believing it is 2 and the payout does not come. Both fetched the same day.
Payouts & split
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.
What it costs you: Secondary sources tie the 95% to a paid Lifetime 95% Reward add-on. Buying on the 95% headline means paying for something the help centre says the plan does not include.
Pricing
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).
What it costs you: Affects the 200K size only; the rest of the table is verified against the app itself. Flagged, not resolved.
News trading
FundedNext lets you trade the news with no blackout, but on a funded account only 40% of any profit made in the 10-minute window around a listed high-impact release - 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after - is credited to you. The other 60% is never paid. Losses in that same window count against you at 100%. Challenge phases are exempt entirely.

FundedNext bans Expert Advisors on Stellar 2-Step accounts of $50,000 and above — the threshold lands exactly on the size we track
FundedNext's own help article for the Stellar 2-Step Challenge states: "You are free to use Expert Advisors (EAs) and custom indicators to support your trading strategies on account sizes below $50,000, as long as their settings are aligned with your account's parameters. EA usage is not permitted on account sizes of $50,000 and above — traders on these accounts must trade manually." The threshold is inclusive and it falls exactly on the product we track, the Stellar 2-Step $50,000. At that size the ban applies and the account must be traded by hand. Anyone buying this evaluation in order to run an automated strategy is buying the wrong product. Our record did not carry this. The copy-trading section, last verified on 23 July, described the firm's tooling as limited with no size threshold and said nothing about Expert Advisors at all. That section now carries the rule. We are not dating the restriction. The article is stamped "Updated this week" and shows no date, so we can say what the rule is today but not when FundedNext introduced it, and we have not recorded it as taking effect today. Two values on the same article were re-read and are unchanged: copy trading is "Allowed between Challenge Accounts owned by the same trader" and "Strictly prohibited between accounts owned by different individuals"; and the minimum is "You must place trades on at least 5 separate trading days, with a minimum of 1 trade per day in each phase." One thing to know before acting on this: FundedNext has served no price attached by name to the Stellar 2-Step $50,000 on any readable page for three consecutive days. The rule is verified from the firm's own help centre; the price on our row is not.
SourceFundedNext runs STELLAR50 — 50% off a first Stellar account, restricted to first-time registrations and capped at the first 10,000 users rather than by a date
The firm's own offer page states "50% off your first Stellar Account", with the price already reduced at checkout, and restricts it to "New traders only, first-time registrations". The limit is a quantity, not a deadline: "For First 10,000 Users Only" and "seats are limited". That matters for anyone planning around it — there is no date to work back from, and the offer can close without notice. Only one price renders on the page: Stellar 1-Step $50K at $329.99 struck through to $164.99. Stellar 2-Step, Stellar Lite and Stellar Instant are listed as discounted but serve no figure, so our tracked Stellar 2-Step $50K price is unchanged and still carries its earlier date.
SourceFundedNext offers 50% off the Stellar Challenge for new traders with code STELLAR50
FundedNext''s own offer page lists STELLAR50: 50% off the Stellar Challenge, for new traders only (first-time registrations, limited to the first 10,000 users), with the discount pre-applied to the prices shown — the Stellar 1-Step 50K appears at $164.99 from $329.99. No end date is stated. The page''s discounted figure for the Stellar 2-Step 50K we track could not be read on this pass, so our offers row keeps the $299 list price until the discounted figure can be verified against the firm''s page.
SourcePublic price table back on the Stellar page: 2-Step 50K shown at $299 — we tracked $299.99 from checkout
After six days with no publicly readable prices, fundednext.com/stellar-model again shows a full static price table: $6K $59, $15K $119, $25K $199, $50K $299, $100K $549, $200K $999. Our tracked row moves to $299 with this page as source; the earlier $299.99 came from the app checkout, which now sits behind a login.
