THE DOSSIER — ACCOUNT DEEP-DIVE
FundedNext $10,000 Stellar Lite Account Rules
Exact dollar thresholds, breach math, and verified sources for this tier.
All-In Cost to First Payout
Sticker price vs real cost — All-In Quantitative Fee Model
If you pass first try
→ $0 net after refund on 1st payout
Assumes pass on first attempt. Add 1–2 resets for realistic avg (FPFX: only 7% get payout).
Realistic (1 reset avg)
→ $59.99 net after refund
Assumes 1 reset(s). Data fees vary by platform. FPFX base rate: ~7% ever get payout — budget for resets.
Methodology: challenge + resets + activation + data + add-ons − documented refund. Futures add $38/mo data + $149 activation where applicable. We never hide reset cost behind “bonus” language.
RISK ANALYSIS
How Can I Fail This Account?
Before spending capital on this evaluation, these are the exact mathematical and operational tripwires that disqualify traders on this specific model.
Daily Loss at 00:00 Rollover
Daily loss is calculated against your day-starting balance/equity. Holding floating drawdown into the 00:00 server reset can breach on spread widening alone.
60-Day Inactivity Forfeiture
60 consecutive days without a trade = automatic lock and revoked credentials. Many pass the evaluation and pause before the next step, losing all progress.
Withdrawal Gates Bite After Passing
First reward after 21 days, then every 14 days; fee refunded with 3rd reward; no 15% challenge-phase reward on Lite
Banned Patterns Pass Silently, Fail at Payout
Grid, martingale, all-in sizing, copied signals, and cross-account hedging often trigger no dashboard warning during evaluation — the review lands when you request real money.
COMPLETE RULEBOOK
Every Rule on This Account
Daily drawdown, max drawdown, targets, trading days, payouts, news, holding, automation, inactivity — each rule translated to this 10,000 account's exact dollar numbers.
Daily Loss Limit: 4% ($400/day)
Your daily allowance is fixed off the starting balance and counts open + closed P&L. It resets at 0:00 server time. Intraday profits temporarily widen the buffer, but the base never changes — lose the full allowance in 24 hours and the account is terminated on the spot.
Maximum Loss: 8% (floor starts at $9,200)
Static: the floor is set once from your starting balance and never moves — profits never drag it up behind you. Across the whole lifetime of the account, equity can never print below the current floor.
Profit Target: 8% ($800) → 4% ($400)
Bank $800 to clear phase 1, then $400 more in phase 2. Targets are measured on closed-trade profit from the starting balance — open floating P&L does not pass you.
Minimum Trading Days: 5
You must trade on at least 5 separate days before the phase counts as passed — even if you hit the profit target on day one. A trading day counts when you place at least one trade that closes with non-zero P&L.
Payouts: Bi-weekly (21d first, 14d after) · 80% split
First reward after 21 days, then every 14 days; fee refunded with 3rd reward; no 15% challenge-phase reward on Lite. Your share of every approved withdrawal is 80%, up to 95% with the scale-up/add-on.
News Trading: Allowed
News trading allowed on challenge + funded; funded-account profits inside ±5min window count at 40% (losses 100%)
Weekend + Overnight Holding: Allowed
Positions may stay open overnight and over the weekend at every stage. Swap charges still apply — and swap counts against your daily and maximum loss limits, with triple-swap days on some instruments.
Expert Advisors / Bots: Allowed
Automation is permitted — but verify whether your firm requires a paid add-on, platform restriction (MT4/MT5 only at some firms), or bot registration before the first automated trade. Unauthorized automation is a standalone violation.
Copy Trading & Hedging Boundaries
Copy trading involving a funded account (either direction), third-party signals, and for-hire account management are prohibited. Hedging inside this single account is fine; mirrored positions across accounts or external brokers are banned.
Inactivity: 60 Days
Place at least one trade every 60 consecutive days or the account is automatically deactivated — no warning email, no extension. This kills more passed evaluations than any market move: traders pass, take a break, and return to revoked credentials.
