TL;DR: In the FundedNext Phase of the Stellar 2-Step Challenge, the rules depend on the payout option you selected at checkout. If you chose the 21 Days option, there is no minimum trading day requirement and no profit target — your first Performance Reward is available after 21 days, then every 14 days. If you chose the 3 Days Performance Reward option, you must achieve 3 profitable trading days per cycle, with each profitable day reaching at least 1% of your account size. The On-Demand Performance Reward option allows you to request a payout at any time once you have achieved 2% account growth and maintained 40% consistency.
Once you reach the FundedNext Phase of the Stellar 2-Step Challenge, your trading conditions depend on the payout option you selected when purchasing your account.
Option 1: 21-Days Performance Reward
No profit target.
No minimum trading day requirement.
Trading Cycle Structure:
First Trading Cycle:
Duration: 21 days from the activation of the FundedNext Account.
After this, you become eligible for your first Performance Reward.
Second and Ongoing Trading Cycles:
Duration: 14 days each.
Performance Rewards can be requested at the end of each cycle.
Example:
Let's say your first trading cycle runs from May 1st to May 21st.
Description | Value |
Profit made | $3,000 |
Performance Reward (80%) | $2,400 |
Cycle 1 ends | May 21st |
Cycle 2 starts | May 22nd |
Cycle 2 ends | June 4th |
By the time you request your third Performance Reward, you can also claim your Refundable Fee.
Option 2: 3-Days Performance Reward
Requirements per cycle:
You must have at least 3 profitable trading days within the 3-day cycle.
Each profitable trading day must achieve a minimum of 1% profit of your account size.
What counts as a profitable day?
A trading day is counted as profitable only if your net profit for that day reaches at least 1% of your initial account size. Days where you trade but do not reach the 1% threshold do not count toward the 3-day requirement.
Trading Cycle Structure:
Every cycle is 3 days.
If all 2 conditions are met within the cycle, you can request your Performance Reward at the end of that cycle.
If the conditions are not met, the cycle extends by a further 3 days until the requirements are fulfilled.
Example:
Account size: $10,000 | Minimum daily profit required: $100 (1% of $10,000)
Day | Date | Daily Profit | Meets 1% Requirement | Qualifying Days |
Day 1 | May 1st | $150 | Yes | 1 of 3 |
Day 2 | May 2nd | $60 | No (below $100) | 1 of 3 |
Day 3 | May 3rd | $120 | Yes | 2 of 3 |
Day 4 |
May 4th |
$110 |
Yes | 3 of 3 conditions met, |
Cycle 1 ends: May 4th—Performance Reward available.
Cycle 2 starts: May 5th.
Performance Reward for this cycle:
Description | Value |
Total profit | $440 |
Performance Reward (60%) | $264 |
Option 3: On-Demand Performance Reward
Requirements:
Your account must have grown by at least 2% of the initial account balance.
Your best single trading day's profit must not exceed 40% of your total profit (Consistency Rule).
Once both conditions are met, you can request your Performance Reward at any time directly from your dashboard — there is no fixed cycle end to wait for.
Example:
Account size: $10,000 | Minimum 2% growth required: $200
Day | Date | Daily Profit | Total Profit | Best Day as % of Total | Consistency Met | Eligible to Request |
Day 1 | May 1st | $80 | $80 | 100% | No | No |
Day 2 | May 2nd | $70 | $150 | 53.3% | No | No |
Day 3 | May 3rd | $48 | $198 | 24% | Yes | No |
Day 4 | May 4th | $30 | $228 | 35.09% | Yes | Yes |
The trader submits Performance Reward request on May 4th.
New cycle starts: May 5th.
Performance Reward for this cycle:
Description | Value |
Total profit | $230 |
Performance Reward (90%) | $207 |
Note: The payout option is selected at checkout and cannot be changed after purchase. If you have purchased the Lifetime Reward 95% Add-On, your Performance Reward share will be 95% regardless of which option you are on.
