<h2>Detailed trading rules</h2> <p><strong>Profits and drawdowns.</strong> Depending on the model: Stellar 1-Step with a 10% target and 3% daily loss (the most flexible daily corridor), Stellar 2-Step with 8% then 5% and 5% daily, Stellar Lite with 8% then 4%. Stellar Instant works without evaluation with a 6% trailing drawdown.</p> <p><strong>News trading.</strong> Specific rules apply around significant events depending on the account type: check the restrictions by model before opening positions on high-impact announcements.</p> <p><strong>Weekend and robots.</strong> Holding positions over the weekend is possible on certain asset classes (the crypto weekend is notably allowed depending on accounts) and the use of robots/EAs is regulated according to the chosen model.</p> <p><strong>Leverage.</strong> On Stellar Instant, leverage depends on the instrument traded: check the official documentation for the values by asset class. Spreads and commissions: variable depending on the platform (MT4, MT5, cTrader, MatchTrader). The rules are generally clear, but user feedback reports strict enforcement (account closures reported for shared IP / VPS).
