The Performance Reward schedule varies depending on the challenge model you are participating in. Below are the details of the Performance Reward structure for each challenge:
Stellar 1-Step Account
Stellar 1-Step Challenge Phase: Traders who successfully pass the Challenge will be eligible to request the 15% reward from Challenge once they meet the criteria for the Scale-Up plan in the FundedNext Account.
Stellar 1-Step FundedNext Account: Once you transition to your FundedNext Account, your Reward Share will increase to 80%. Starting from the first trading cycle, you will receive Performance Rewards every 5 business days. Additionally, you may request your Passing Reward for the subscription fee with your third Performance Reward withdrawal from the FundedNext Account. Once you fulfill all the scale-up requirements, your Reward Share will increase to 90%.
Stellar 2-Step Account
Stellar 2-Step Challenge (Phase 1 and 2): Traders who successfully pass both the Challenge Phases will be eligible to request the 15% reward from Challenge from both phases once they meet the criteria for the Scale-Up plan in the FundedNext Account.
Stellar 2-Step FundedNext Account: Once you transition to your FundedNext Account, your Reward Share will increase to 80%. You can request your first Performance Reward 21 days after starting trading, with subsequent Performance Rewards occurring every 14 days thereafter. Additionally, you may request your Passing Reward for the subscription fee with your first Performance Reward from the FundedNext Account. Once you meet all the scale-up criteria, your Reward Share will increase to 90%.
Stellar Lite Account
Stellar Lite Challenge (Phase 1 and 2): Unlike Stellar 1-Step and 2-Step, there is no Reward Share associated with the Challenge Phase in the Stellar Lite Account.
Stellar Lite FundedNext Account: Upon transitioning to your FundedNext Account, your Reward Share will increase to 80%. You can request your first Performance Reward 21 days after starting trading, with subsequent Performance Rewards made every 14 days thereafter. You may also request your Passing Reward for the subscription fee with your third Performance Reward from the FundedNext Account. Users can increase their Reward Share up to 90% once they fulfill all the criteria of the Scale-Up plan
Additional Review and Processing Condition
All Performance Reward requests are subject to a standard compliance review conducted by the Risk Management Team prior to processing.
During this review, trading activity is assessed to ensure full compliance with FundedNext’s Terms, trading rules, and platform policies. Performance Rewards will only be processed once the review confirms that all trading activity is in accordance with the applicable guidelines.
If any discrepancy, irregularity, or potential violation is identified during the review, the Trading Ethics & Standards Team may reach out to the trader for clarification or further assessment before proceeding. Appropriate adjustments may be applied in line with FundedNext’s policies. In cases where profits generated from trades that violated the rules exceed the requested Performance Reward amount, the Performance Reward may be denied in full based on the severity of the violation.
Post-Processing Review and Account Status
FundedNext may conduct additional reviews where necessary, including after a Performance Reward has been processed.
If the Risk Management Team subsequently identifies any irregularity, policy breach, or material concern related to the trading activity, the account may be temporarily paused pending further assessment.
Account reactivation will be subject to a formal review by the Trading Ethics & Standards Team following communication with the trader. Any decision regarding reinstatement, adjustment, or further action will be made in accordance with FundedNext’s Terms and policies.
