Passing a FundedNext Challenge in 2026: Rules, Pricing and Method

## FundedNext Overview FundedNext is a prop firm based in the United Arab Emirates that stands out with its Stellar range: 1-Step, 2-Step, Lite and Instant. With accounts from $6,000 to $300,000 and a profit split of up to 95%, it offers one of the most generous splits on the market. The scaling plan goes up to $4,000,000 with +25% every 4 months. ## FundedNext Challenge Rules ### Profit Targets Targets vary by model: - **Stellar 1-Step**: 10% in a single step - **Stellar 2-Step**: 8% in phase 1, then 5% in phase 2 - **Stellar Lite**: 8% in phase 1, then 4% in phase 2 - **Stellar Instant**: no evaluation (funded account immediately) ### Drawdown The daily drawdown ranges from 3% (Stellar 1-Step) to 5% (Stellar 2-Step). The maximum drawdown is 6% to 10% depending on the model, static for most programs. The Stellar Instant model applies a 6% trailing drawdown. ### Profit Split The profit split starts at 80% and goes up to 95% with scaling. A unique advantage: FundedNext pays 15% profit share upon successful evaluation, even before being funded. ### Payouts Payment cycles vary by model: - **Stellar 1-Step**: 5 business day cycles - **Stellar 2-Step and Lite**: every 14 days - **Stellar Instant**: based on account growth ### Trading Rules FundedNext allows news trading, EAs (expert advisors), holding positions overnight and on weekends. The consistency rule has been removed from Stellar programs, which is a major advantage. ## FundedNext Challenge Pricing Stellar challenges start at $59.99 for a $6,000 account and go up to approximately $1,099 for a $200,000 account. Rapid futures plans start at approximately $135. Instant accounts (FNL:003) are available at $149.99. ## Scaling Plan FundedNext's scaling plan provides +25% every 4 months up to $4,000,000. It is one of the most ambitious plans on the market, comparable to The5ers. ## Method to Pass a FundedNext Challenge ### 1. Choose the Right Stellar Model The choice depends on your style: - **1-Step**: single 10% target, 3% drawdown (stricter) - **2-Step**: 8% then 5%, 5% drawdown (more flexible) - **Lite**: 8% then 4%, intermediate conditions - **Instant**: no evaluation but 6% trailing drawdown Check our [prop firm comparator](https://fundedtrader.fr/comparateur-prop-firms) to compare models. ### 2. Benefit from the Removed Consistency Rule The absence of a consistency rule on Stellar programs means you can pass with one or two large trades, without artificially spreading your gains. This is an advantage for swing traders. ### 3. Use EAs and News Trading FundedNext allows EAs and news trading. If you have an automated strategy or trade economic announcements, this is one of the few firms that permits it. ### 4. Manage Drawdown According to the Model For the 1-Step with 3% drawdown, be very cautious. For the 2-Step with 5%, you have more room.
