TL;DR: In the Stellar 1-step model, traders become eligible for a subscription fee refund, also called a Passing Reward, after completing the Challenge Phase and receiving your FundedNext Account. The Passing Reward is paid out with your first payout, also known as Performance Reward, upon request. It typically equals your original challenge fee or reset fee, depending on your journey.
In the Stellar 1-Step Challenge, traders become eligible for a Passing Reward after they:
Successfully pass the Challenge Phase
Receive their FundedNext Account
Once both steps are completed, the Passing Reward can be requested during the first withdrawal. It will be added with your Performance Reward only upon request and approval.
Example – Based on challenge fee:
If a trader purchases a $6,000 Stellar 1-Step Challenge for $65, and successfully passes the Challenge:
They can request the $65 Passing Reward along with their first withdrawal request.
This acts as a refund of the initial challenge fee.
Example – Based on Reset Fee:
If the account is reset (not a new purchase), the Passing Reward will be based on the reset fee instead.
For instance, if the reset fee is $59, the trader will receive a $59 Passing Reward upon passing the Challenge Phase and requesting Performance Reward.
