FundedNext offers an on-demand payout option for Stellar 2-Step and Stellar Lite accounts. This option is selected at checkout without requiring a separate paid add-on.

Eligible Accounts:
Stellar 2-Step and Stellar Lite.

Payout Requirement:
Achieve at least 2% growth based on the funded account's initial balance.

Consistency Rule:
The most profitable trading day must not exceed 40% of total profits at the time of the payout request.

90% to the trader.

Payout Timing:
A payout can be requested at the end of any trading day once all requirements are met, without waiting for a standard payout cycle.

Starting from $20, depending on the withdrawal method.

Note:
The selected payout cycle option cannot be changed after the account is purchased.

Payouts are available every 5 business days, starting from the first payout cycle.

Minimum payout: $20, depending on the withdrawal method.

Standard Payout Option:
The first payout is available after 21 days from the first trade on the funded account.

Subsequent payouts are available every 14 days.

Minimum payout: $20, depending on the withdrawal method.

The first payout is available after 10 business days from the first trade on the funded account.

On-Demand Payouts:
A payout can be requested after achieving 5% growth based on the initial account balance. Eligibility is assessed at the end of the trading day.

If a new trade is opened before profits are transferred to the FundedNext wallet, the transfer option is deferred until the end of the next trading day. Eligibility is then reassessed, provided the required growth is maintained.

Biweekly Payouts:
If account growth is below 5% but at least 1%, a payout can be requested after 14 days from the beginning of the trading cycle.

Minimum Growth Requirement:
1% of the account size per payout cycle.

Minimum Payout Amount:
$20, depending on the withdrawal method.

Overnight and weekend holding is allowed on all accounts.

Swap fees apply to accounts without a Swap-Free option and count toward daily and maximum loss limits.

Applicable Accounts:
Stellar 1-Step: 3%.
Stellar 2-Step: 5%.
Stellar Lite: 4%.

Calculation Method:
The daily loss limit is calculated based on the initial account balance, not the current balance.

Daily results include realized profits and losses from closed trades, floating profits and losses from open positions, commissions, and swap fees.

Intraday Profits:
Profits earned during the trading day increase the available loss allowance for that day only.

Example:
A $100,000 Stellar 2-Step account has a $5,000 daily loss limit.
If the trader earns $2,000 during the day, the account can absorb up to $7,000 in trading losses during that same day, including floating losses.

Daily Reset:
The daily loss limit resets at 00:00 trading server time.

Previous-day profits do not increase the next day's loss allowance. Floating losses on open positions remain included after the reset.

Stellar Instant:
There is no daily loss limit, but a 6% trailing maximum loss limit still applies.

Exceeding the daily loss limit results in an account breach.

Applicable Accounts:
Stellar 1-Step: 6% Static.
Stellar 2-Step: 10% Static.
Stellar Lite: 8% Static.
Stellar Instant: 6% Trailing.

Static Maximum Loss Limit:
Calculated from the initial account balance. The loss threshold remains unchanged regardless of profits or losses.

This applies during both evaluation and funded stages, and includes account balance and floating P&L.

Example:
A $100,000 Stellar 2-Step account has a $10,000 maximum loss limit.
The account balance or equity must never fall below $90,000.
If the trader earns $4,000, the threshold remains at $90,000, increasing the available loss buffer to $14,000.

Stellar Lite Add-On:
The maximum loss limit can be increased from 8% to 10% by purchasing the applicable add-on.

Trailing Maximum Loss Limit:
Stellar Instant uses a 6% trailing limit based on the initial balance. It rises with the highest recorded balance and never moves downward after trading losses.

The threshold stops rising once it reaches the initial account balance.

Stellar Instant Example:
A $10,000 account starts with a loss threshold of $9,400.
If the balance grows to $10,200, the threshold rises to $9,600.
Once the balance reaches $10,600, the threshold reaches $10,000 and stops moving upward.

Impact of Withdrawals:
The trailing loss threshold does not decrease after a payout, reducing the available loss buffer.
In the next trading cycle, trailing resumes immediately as new profits are earned, without waiting for a previous balance peak to be exceeded, unless the threshold has already reached its maximum level.

Note:
The maximum loss limit does not reset daily. Falling below the permitted threshold in balance or equity results in an account breach.

KYC After Passing:
Identity verification (KYC) must be completed within 30 days of passing the Challenge, before receiving a FundedNext Account.

• Available for Stellar 1-Step and Stellar 2-Step accounts.

8- Double Up:

A utility bill or bank statement issued within the last 3 months may be required.

Verification Timing:
• Challenge Accounts: After passing the evaluation stages.
• Stellar Instant: Before requesting the first Performance Reward.

KYC status must be Approved to receive Performance Rewards. Simply submitting documents is not sufficient.

Verification Attempts:
• Iraq and Nigeria: 5 attempts.

Device and Network Policy (FundedNext)

1- Device Ownership:
• Trading must be conducted exclusively from your own personal devices.
• Accessing your account from another person's device (friends, family members, or colleagues) is strictly prohibited.
• Sharing devices with other traders results in account termination. Performance rewards or fee refunds may also be denied depending on the violation.

2- Network and IP Policy:
• You may use any network, including home Wi-Fi, mobile data, or public internet connections.
• The primary requirement is that your IP address must not originate from a restricted country.

3- VPN and VPS Restrictions:
• VPN usage is permitted provided the selected location is not in a restricted country.
• Connections originating from IP addresses in restricted countries are subject to compliance measures.
• Circumventing residency or nationality restrictions through VPN usage or false information results in immediate account termination.

4- Restricted Countries:
• Country restrictions apply to both trader eligibility and network access. Changing an IP address does not permit traders to bypass these restrictions.

5- Actions Following a Violation:
• FundedNext may review an account or take action when a violation is detected, without requiring prior warning.
• If the Compliance Department sends an email, the trader must respond and provide the requested explanations.

FundedNext enforces a maximum cumulative risk limit of 3% of the initial account balance at any given time.

1- Applicable Accounts:
• FundedNext Accounts under Stellar 1-Step, Stellar 2-Step, and Stellar Lite.
• Stellar Instant Accounts.
• This rule is not enforced through penalties during the evaluation phase.

2- Risk Calculation:
• Risk is calculated against the initial account balance, not the current balance.
• The limit applies to the combined risk exposure of all simultaneously open positions.
• Risk is measured using position sizes and Stop Loss (SL) levels.
• Positions related to the same trading idea are assessed together, even when split into multiple orders.
• Actual floating losses are also considered. A breach can occur even with a Stop Loss in place if floating losses exceed the limit.
• A Stop Loss is required on every trade. Positions without a Stop Loss are treated as carrying 100% risk to the account balance.
• Commissions and swap charges are excluded from risk utilization calculations.

3- Example:
A $10,000 funded account has a maximum allowable risk of $300.
If one open position carries $200 in risk and another simultaneously carries $150, the combined exposure reaches $350, or 3.5% of the initial balance, resulting in a breach.

4- Violation Consequences:
• First Violation: A formal warning and a 100% deduction of profits generated by violating trades from the current Performance Reward cycle.
• Second Violation: Profits from violating trades are deducted, and the account is permanently reclassified from a 3% to a 1% cumulative risk limit.
• The revised 1% threshold takes effect at the end of the trading day when the second violation is identified.
• Subsequent Violations: All profits generated from trades breaching the 1% limit are deducted on each occurrence, without automatic account termination solely for breaching this risk parameter.
• Loss-making violating trades are recorded without a profit deduction.
• If total deductions equal or exceed the cycle's net profit, no Performance Reward is paid for that cycle.

5- Important Notes:
• Violations are tracked separately for each account and do not automatically transfer to other accounts.
• When funded accounts are merged, the resulting account inherits the higher violation count and the more restrictive risk limit.
• Traders can view violating trades, current risk parameters, and applicable deductions through the Risk Parameters section and Risk Limit Clarity Card.
• The rule applies to manual and automated trading across all eligible asset classes.

FundedNext monitors profits generated from trades closed within 30 seconds of opening and applies restrictions when the permitted thresholds are exceeded.

1- How Is It Calculated?
The Quick Strike percentage is calculated by dividing profits from winning trades closed within 30 seconds by the total recorded profit for the trading cycle.
Loss-making Quick Strike trades are excluded from the calculation of Quick Strike profits.

Example:
Total Cycle Profit: $10,000.
Quick Strike Profit: $3,500.
Quick Strike Ratio: 35%.
In this example, the ratio exceeds the permitted 30% threshold.

2- Evaluation Stage:
• At 20%: A compliance warning is issued without account termination.
• At 30% or above: Progress toward the profit target and advancement to the next stage are placed on hold.
• The account remains active, and trading may continue until the ratio falls below 30%, restoring progression eligibility.

3- Funded and Instant Accounts:
• The rule applies to FundedNext Accounts and Stellar Instant Accounts.
• At 20%: A formal warning is issued without a profit deduction.
• At 30% or above: Violations are reviewed at the end of the trading cycle, and 100% of profits generated from Quick Strike trades are deducted from the Performance Reward.
• If the ratio remains at or above 30% at the end of the cycle, the account may be terminated, with all Quick Strike profits forfeited.
• If the deductions consume the entire net profit for the cycle, no Performance Reward is issued for that cycle.

4- Monitoring Quick Strike:
Traders can monitor their Quick Strike ratio, applicable profits, and individual trade details through the Quick Strike Trades Clarity Card on the FundedNext Dashboard.

The percentage is calculated separately for each trading cycle and must remain below 30% to avoid violations.

FundedNext offers a Refundable Fee to eligible traders who successfully complete their Challenge and qualify for Performance Rewards on a FundedNext Account.

1- Eligible Programs and Refund Timing:
• Stellar 2-Step: With the first Performance Reward.
• Stellar 1-Step: With the third Performance Reward.
• Stellar Lite: With the third Performance Reward.
• Stellar Instant: No Challenge Fee Refund.

2- Exception for Older Accounts:
Stellar 1-Step accounts purchased before January 12, 2026 retain the previous refund structure, allowing the fee to be refunded with the first Performance Reward.
Accounts purchased or reset on or after January 12, 2026 follow the updated structure, with the refund available on the third Performance Reward.

3- Refund Requirements:
• Successfully complete all required Challenge phases and receive a FundedNext Account.
• Meet the eligibility requirements for a Performance Reward.
• Passing the Challenge or activating the funded account alone does not trigger the Refundable Fee.
• Stellar 2-Step traders must manually select the Refundable Fee option when submitting their withdrawal request through the dashboard.
• The Refundable Fee is disbursed alongside the eligible Performance Reward according to the applicable program schedule.

4- Refundable Fee Amount:
• The standard Refundable Fee equals the eligible subscription fee associated with the account.
• If the account has been reset, the Refundable Fee is calculated using the most recent paid Reset Fee, rather than the original purchase fee.
• With the optional 150% Reward Add-On, the Refundable Fee increases to 150% of the eligible subscription fee.
• The 150% Reward Add-On is available for Stellar 1-Step and Stellar 2-Step. The refund remains subject to the applicable Performance Reward schedule.

5- Non-Refundable Charges:
• The additional $25 platform fee for cTrader or Match-Trader is non-refundable under the standard policy, with an exception for eligible U.S.-based clients.
• EA and VPS & EA Add-On fees are excluded from the Refundable Fee.

6- Difference from Purchase Cancellation:
Receiving a Refundable Fee through Performance Rewards is different from requesting a purchase refund.
A purchase refund may be requested within 7 days of purchase, provided that no trades have been executed on the account.
Once trading begins, the Challenge purchase fee is no longer refundable under the purchase cancellation policy.

FundedNext offers several methods for receiving Performance Rewards. Minimum and maximum payout limits depend on the selected payment method and the trader's country of residence.

1- General Minimum Payout:
• The minimum Performance Reward withdrawal amount is $20.
• Rewards below $20 are carried forward and added to the next eligible Performance Reward.

5- Fees and Withdrawal Rules:

• Using a withdrawal wallet address registered to another trader is prohibited. Repeated violations may lead to account termination or suspension.
• Direct transfers to FNmarkets credit a trading account rather than a personal bank account.

Important Note:
Withdrawal method availability depends on the trader's country and payment provider. Performance Reward disbursement timelines are governed by FundedNext's separate 24-Hour Payout Guarantee policy.

FundedNext's Minimum Trading Days requirements vary depending on the program, account stage, and selected payout option.

1- Evaluation Trading Days:
• Stellar 1-Step: 2 trading days during the Challenge Phase.
• Stellar 2-Step: 5 trading days in Phase 1 and another 5 days in Phase 2.

• On-Demand Performance Reward: 5 trading days per Challenge Phase.
• Accounts purchased or reset before October 12, 2026 retain the previous requirement of 5 trading days per phase.

3- How Trading Days Are Counted:
• At least one qualifying trade must be executed on each required trading day.
• Trades with non-zero profit or loss qualify. A profitable result is not required for each evaluation trading day.
• Trading days do not need to be consecutive.
• Each day is counted separately according to trading server time.
• For two-phase Challenges, the minimum day requirement must be completed independently in each phase.
• Reaching the Profit Target early does not remove the remaining trading day requirement.
• There is no maximum time limit to complete the Challenge, subject to inactivity rules.

4- No Minimum Trading Days Add-On:
FundedNext offers an optional paid No Minimum Trading Days Add-On that removes the evaluation trading day requirement for eligible accounts.
• Stellar 1-Step and Stellar 2-Step: Available for $6,000, $15,000, and $25,000 account sizes.
• Stellar Lite: Available among the program's purchase add-on options.

5- Funded Account Trading Days:
• There is no general minimum trading day requirement on Stellar 1-Step, Stellar 2-Step, or Stellar Lite FundedNext Accounts.
• Stellar Instant Accounts also have no minimum trading day requirement.
• Under the Standard payout option, reward eligibility follows the applicable payout cycle rather than the number of active trading days.
• The 3-Day Performance Reward option for Stellar 2-Step and Stellar Lite requires 3 profitable trading days per reward cycle, each generating at least 1% of the account size in profit. These profitable days do not need to be consecutive.
• The On-Demand option has no fixed minimum trading day requirement on funded accounts, but requires at least 2% account growth and compliance with the 40% Consistency Rule.

Important Note:
Minimum evaluation trading days are separate from profitable day conditions under certain Performance Reward options.
The payout option is selected at checkout, and its applicable requirements remain attached to the account.

FundedNext Reward Share percentages vary depending on the account model, selected payout option, paid add-ons, and Scale-Up progression.

1- Standard Reward Share:
• Stellar 1-Step: Traders receive an 80% Reward Share on the FundedNext Account, increasing to 90% after meeting Scale-Up eligibility requirements.
• Stellar 2-Step: The Reward Share depends on the payout option selected when purchasing the Challenge.
• Stellar Lite: The Reward Share also depends on the payout option selected at checkout.
• Stellar Instant: Reward Share starts at 70% and increases to 80% from Tier 3 onwards.

2- Reward Options for Stellar 2-Step and Stellar Lite:

3- Lifetime 95% Reward Add-On:
FundedNext offers the paid Lifetime Reward 95% Add-On for Stellar 1-Step, Stellar 2-Step, and Stellar Lite.
• Increases the FundedNext Account Reward Share to 95% from the first eligible Performance Reward.
• The 95% share remains effective throughout the account's lifetime, including after Scale-Up.
• For Stellar 2-Step and Stellar Lite, the 95% share applies to Standard, 3-Day, and On-Demand payout options.
• The Add-On is not available for Stellar Instant Accounts.

4- 15% Reward from Challenge:
FundedNext offers an additional 15% Reward based on the evaluation Profit Targets of Stellar 1-Step and Stellar 2-Step Challenges.
• Stellar 1-Step: Calculated from the Challenge Profit Target.
• Stellar 2-Step: Calculated from the Profit Targets of both Challenge Phases.
• For accounts purchased or reset on or after January 12, 2026, the reward becomes available upon achieving FundedNext Pro Scale-Up eligibility.
• The reward is not paid immediately upon passing the Challenge.
• The 15% Challenge Reward is unavailable for Stellar Lite, Stellar Instant, and U.S.-based traders.
• Merged accounts are ineligible for FundedNext Pro and therefore cannot qualify for the Challenge Reward tied to it.

5- Stellar Instant Reward Share:
Stellar Instant uses a tier-based reward structure linked to account scaling:
• Tier 1: 70%.
• Tier 2: 70%.
• Tier 3 and above: 80%.
• The Reward Share remains capped at 80%, even as account scaling continues.
• To progress to the next tier, traders must achieve cumulative growth equal to 10% of the current tier's starting balance, measured using total disbursed withdrawal amounts, and complete at least one withdrawal in that tier.
• Performance Reward eligibility requires at least 1% account growth during the current trading cycle.

6- Legacy Account Exceptions:
• Stellar 1-Step accounts purchased or reset before January 12, 2026 retain a 90% base Reward Share.
• For Stellar 1-Step and Stellar 2-Step accounts purchased or reset before that date, the 15% Challenge Reward is tied to achieving 10% cumulative growth on the FundedNext Account under the previous policy.
• Resetting a Challenge on or after January 12, 2026 makes the updated policy applicable.

Important Note:
Reward Share refers to the trader's portion of eligible FundedNext Account earnings. The 15% Reward from Challenge is a separate benefit and does not represent the standard funded account profit split.

Prohibited Trading Strategies and Practices at FundedNext

1- Prohibited Trading Methods
FundedNext prohibits trading methods involving excessive risk or exploitation of abnormal market or platform conditions, including:
• Gambling Behavior: Trading with excessive position sizes or high risk without a clear strategy or proper risk management.
• Quick Strike: Trades closed within 30 seconds of opening. FundedNext monitors the percentage of profits generated by these trades relative to total profits during the trading cycle. A warning is issued at 20%, while a ratio of 30% or higher constitutes a violation.
• High-Frequency Trading (HFT): Using systems or algorithms to execute excessive numbers of orders at extremely high speeds.
• Arbitrage: Exploiting price differences between platforms or taking advantage of delayed pricing, execution, or market data (Latency).
• Abusive Trading: Practices such as Tick Scalping or Grid Trading, whether executed manually or through automated systems.

2- Account or Trading Environment Manipulation
FundedNext prohibits attempts to circumvent its rules or misuse multiple accounts or devices, including:
• Group Hedging: Opening opposing or correlated positions across different accounts to artificially reduce trading risk.
• Prohibited Copy Trading: Copying trades from accounts belonging to other individuals, including friends, relatives, or other traders.
• Account Rolling: Purchasing multiple Challenge Accounts in quick succession, deliberately sacrificing some accounts while taking excessive risks to pass others, relying on chance rather than trading skill.
• Trading Strategy Changes: Passing the evaluation using one strategy and then switching to a fundamentally different approach on the funded account is prohibited. This includes changing asset classes entirely while significantly increasing position sizes, margin usage, or risk exposure.
• Technical Exploitation: Taking advantage of frozen prices, server failures, execution errors, or other technical issues to obtain an unfair advantage.
• Account or Device Sharing: Sharing accounts, login credentials, or trading devices with other individuals is prohibited.

3- Technical Restrictions and Excessive Activity
FundedNext applies restrictions to protect its trading environment against abnormal platform usage, including:
• Hyperactivity: Reaching 200 trades or 2,000 server messages in a single day is considered excessive activity. This includes frequent order modifications.
• Reaching 2,000 server messages for the first time results in a warning, followed by a second warning for recurrence. A third violation results in an account breach.
• Generating 15,000 server messages in a single day results in immediate account deactivation.
• Warnings are cumulative across the trader's accounts. Severe activity that significantly strains the servers may result in immediate action without prior warnings.
• One-Sided Betting: Opening concentrated positions in one direction without proper risk management or a reasonable trading plan.
• Exploitative Low-Liquidity Trading: Using orders or execution methods that exploit abnormal market conditions rather than genuine market behavior.

4- Trading Methods Allowed Under Conditions
FundedNext permits disciplined trading methods that comply with its rules and do not exploit the trading environment, including:
• Manual or automated trading based on a clear strategy and sound risk management.
• Non-exploitative Expert Advisors and trading bots, provided they comply with FundedNext's EA rules.
• Copy trading between personally owned accounts, subject to a maximum combined allocation of $300,000, while copying from other individuals remains prohibited.

Summary:
FundedNext prohibits strategies involving technical exploitation, rule manipulation, or uncontrolled risk-taking.
These rules are designed to maintain a fair and sustainable trading environment while encouraging disciplined, professional, and consistent trading practices.

Risk Management and Gambling Behavior Policy

1- What Is Gambling Behavior?
Gambling behavior refers to excessive or undisciplined trading practices that threaten account sustainability, including:
• Opening excessively large positions without proper risk management.
• Risking a substantial portion of the account balance on a single trade or a group of related positions.
• Excessive leverage usage without a clear trading plan.
• Switching from a low-risk approach during evaluation to significantly higher-risk trading on the funded account.

2- Important Notes
• Removing the 70% margin usage restriction does not permit reckless risk-taking or excessively large positions.
• Proper stop-loss placement and position sizing remain essential to avoid high-risk trading behavior.
• When gambling behavior is identified, FundedNext offers traders a choice between two arrangements:
- On-Demand Performance Rewards subject to a 40% Consistency Rule.
- Continued trading under an adjusted Profit Split determined by FundedNext.
• The selected arrangement applies to all active FundedNext Accounts held by the trader.
• These rules promote sustainable professional trading and protect accounts against excessive, unmanaged risk.

FundedNext offers a 24-Hour Payout Guarantee, with an additional $1,000 compensation for qualifying payout delays.

1- What Is the Guarantee?
FundedNext commits to processing and disbursing eligible Performance Rewards within 24 consecutive hours of submitting a payout request, not 24 business hours.

2- When Does the Clock Start and End?
• The 24-hour countdown begins when a payout request is submitted, not when the trading cycle ends.
• The timeframe ends once FundedNext completes the disbursement process to the selected payout method.
• Traders receive a confirmation email with proof of disbursement.

3- Eligible Accounts:
The guarantee covers eligible Performance Reward requests under the following FundedNext CFD programs:
• Stellar 1-Step.
• Stellar 2-Step.
• Stellar Lite.
• Stellar Instant.

No paid add-on is required. Traders must satisfy the applicable payout eligibility and account verification requirements.

4- Compensation for Delays:
If FundedNext fails to complete disbursement within 24 hours for a request covered by the guarantee, the trader receives an additional $1,000 compensation, added to the Performance Reward.

5- Exclusions:
The guarantee does not apply to:
• Payout requests submitted through Bank Transfer.
• Incorrect withdrawal details or wallet addresses causing delays.
• Requests placed on hold or requiring manual processing.
• Requests under special review by the Trading Ethics & Standards Team with a separately assigned payout date.
• Delays caused by payout method issues or payment processors.
• Requests that have not met eligibility, verification, or compliance requirements.

Important Note:
The 24-hour guarantee covers disbursement by FundedNext, not necessarily the actual arrival of funds in the trader's account.
The final receiving time depends on the selected payout method and payment provider.
