Scaling rules
FundedNext review
FundedNext is a prop firm that launched in March 2022 and runs its group operations from Dubai, with separate programs for CFDs and futures. Its CFD range has four core models. Stellar 2 Step asks for 8% and then 5%, with a 5% daily loss limit and a 10% static maximum loss. Stellar Lite uses targets of 8% and 4% with limits of 4% and 8% at a lower price. Stellar 1 Step needs a single 10% target with a 3% daily limit and a 6% maximum loss. Stellar Instant skips the evaluation, with no daily limit and a 6% trailing maximum loss. A Labs product, FNL:001, adds a $50,000 one step account with no daily loss limit for $99.99. List prices run from $32.99 for a $5,000 Stellar Lite to $1,099.99 for a $200,000 Stellar 2 Step or 1 Step. The base reward share is 80% on the challenge models, rising to 90% after a scale up or 95% with a paid add on, while Stellar Instant starts at 70%. Trading runs on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and Match Trader, and the challenges have no time limit. FundedNext promises to process rewards within 24 hours or add $1,000 to the payout.
Suits
Manual forex traders who hold positions over the weekend and want rewards processed within 24 hours on a static drawdown account.
Less suited to
Avoid FundedNext if you run expert advisors on accounts of $50,000 or more, or rely on profits from trades placed around high impact news.
Pros
- Rewards are processed within 24 hours, and $1,000 is added if an eligible payout is late.
- Stellar 2 Step, 1 Step and Lite use a static maximum loss and allow weekend holding at every stage.
- The Stellar 2 Step fee is refunded with the first reward.
- Traders can choose a 21 day, three winning day or on demand payout option on the 2 Step and Lite.
- Stellar 1 Step and 2 Step accounts bought from 12 January 2026 scale by 25% after four qualifying rewards, up to $4 million.
Cons
- Only 40% of funded profits from trades placed near high impact news count toward the reward.
- Open risk on a funded account is capped at 3% at any time, and a second breach cuts the limit to 1%.
- Expert advisors are banned on accounts of $50,000 and above and need a paid add on below that.
- Payouts carry a processing fee of up to 3.5%.
- The 1 Step base reward share is 80% for challenges bought from 12 January 2026.
Verdict
FundedNext's strongest selling point is payout speed backed by a written guarantee: approved rewards are processed within 24 hours, and a delay beyond that adds $1,000 to the payout, although bank transfers and manually reviewed requests are excluded. The Stellar 2 Step is the most balanced option, with a static 10% maximum loss, weekend holding at every stage and the fee returned with the first reward. Stellar Lite trades a tighter 8% limit for a lower entry price, and the 1 Step suits traders who want a single phase and rewards every five business days. Several rules need attention before buying. On funded accounts, only 40% of the profit from trades placed within five minutes of listed high impact news counts, and open risk is capped at 3% at any time, with profits from breaches deducted and the limit cut to 1% after a second breach. Expert advisors are only allowed on MetaTrader accounts below $50,000 and require a paid add on. The base split on the 1 Step fell from 90% to 80% for challenges bought from 12 January 2026, and reaching 90% now depends on qualifying for FundedNext Pro. Payouts also carry a processing fee of up to 3.5%. Trustpilot shows a rating of 4.5 from more than 80,000 reviews. FundedNext suits manual swing traders who want fast, guaranteed payouts and are comfortable working within firm risk limits.

What is the difference between Stellar 2 Step and Stellar Lite?
Both are two phase challenges with an 8% first target. Stellar 2 Step has a 5% second target, a 5% daily loss limit and a 10% maximum loss, and refunds the fee with the first reward. Stellar Lite has a 4% second target, a 4% daily limit and an 8% maximum loss, costs less, and refunds the fee with the third reward.

Does FundedNext allow news trading?
News trading is allowed in every challenge phase. On funded Stellar 1 Step, 2 Step and Lite accounts, only 40% of the profit from trades opened or closed within five minutes before or after a listed high impact release on a related instrument counts toward the reward. Losses from those trades count in full, and holding positions through the news is unrestricted.

Expert advisors and bots are allowed on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 for accounts below $50,000, with an additional usage fee and a $300,000 cap per strategy.
