Overview
FundedNext is a CFD prop trading brand launched in March 2022 by NEXT Ventures, run by GrowthNext F.Z.E. from the Ajman Free Zone in the UAE, with the simulated trading environment operated by FundedNext Ltd in the Comoros. Its CFD side sells four models: the two-phase Stellar 2-Step and lower-cost Stellar Lite, the single-phase Stellar 1-Step, and Stellar Instant, which starts as a funded account with no target. Challenge sizes run from $5K to $200K and Instant accounts from $2K to $20K, traded on MT4, MT5, cTrader or Match-Trader. The standard funded split is 80%, with paid add-ons and scale-ups raising it, and US residents can buy on Match-Trader only.
No challenges match these filters. Pick another size or clear a filter.
Target ÷ loss is the total profit target divided by the max loss limit. Lower means less profit is needed for each unit of risk. Prices are list prices; "Apply discount" takes off the firm's current public code, which may not cover every program. Per $100K converts EUR and GBP at a fixed rate for ranking only. Buy links go to the firm's site; some are affiliate links (PropFirmly may earn a commission).

The payout option is picked at checkout and is fixed for the life of the account. The default pays 80% after 21 days and then every 14 days. The alternatives are a 3-profitable-day cycle (each day at least 1% profit) at 60%, or on-demand requests once the account is up 2% and no day exceeds 40% of profit, at 90%.
The challenge fee is refunded with the first reward on the funded account.
A one-off reward of 15% of the challenge profit target is paid once the account qualifies for the FundedNext Pro scale-up. US traders do not receive it.
Paid add-ons include a lifetime 95% split (+30% on price), swap-free (+10%), a 14-day first payout for $6K to $25K (+25%), a 150% fee refund, a discounted second account, and EA access below $50K.
The $6K size is advertised at $39.99 with code STRTN against a $59.99 list price.
The help centre lists the $200K size at $999.99; the website pricing table showed $1,099.99 on the check date, which is used here.

The help centre describes the cycle as 10 business days; the website pricing table lists it as 10 days.
As on Stellar 2-Step, a 3-profitable-day option at 60% or an on-demand option at 90% can be chosen at checkout instead of the default 80% cycle.
The challenge fee is refunded with the third reward. Stellar Lite has no 15% challenge reward.
A paid add-on (+25% on price) raises the maximum loss from 8% to 10%.

There is no daily loss limit. The 6% maximum loss trails the highest balance, never moves down, stops at the starting balance, and is not reset by withdrawals.
A reward can be requested once growth reaches 5% at the end-of-day check, or after 14 days with at least 1% growth.
The split is 70% in tiers 1 and 2 and 80% from tier 3. Each tier upgrade adds the starting balance again, up to 10 times the original size and then up to $2M, after 10% cumulative withdrawn growth and at least one withdrawal in the tier.
Total active Instant allocation is capped at $20K per trader and Instant accounts cannot be merged.
EAs can be used with a paid add-on. Forex commission is $7 per lot and forex leverage is 1:30.
The purchase fee is not refunded; a reset costs 10% less than the original price.
The $2K size is advertised at $49.99 with code STRTN against a $59.99 list price.

Rules to read before you buy
On funded and Instant accounts, total open risk on a trade idea may not exceed 3% of the initial balance. A first breach removes the profit from those trades, and a second permanently cuts the limit to 1%.
If 30% or more of a cycle's profit comes from trades closed within 30 seconds, challenge progress is paused, or on funded accounts that profit is removed and repeat cases end the account.
The daily loss limit is a fixed share of the initial balance, includes floating losses, swaps and commission, and resets at 00:00 server time (GMT+2, or GMT+3 in summer).
Hedging within one account is allowed; opposite positions across accounts or with another firm are prohibited.
Prohibited practices include latency and arbitrage trading, HFT, grid trading, all-in one-sided bets, account sharing and buying many challenges to pass by chance.
Funded allocation across Stellar 1-Step, 2-Step and Lite is capped at $300K per trader ($50K for residents of Cambodia, Mongolia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Pakistan).
Non-US traders pay a one-time $25 fee for cTrader or Match-Trader, and $100K and $200K accounts cannot be bought on those platforms outside the US.
US traders use Match-Trader only, and MT4/MT5 accounts may not be accessed from a US IP address.
KYC must be approved within 30 days of passing a challenge or the passed account is deactivated.
Inactivity: The help centre says an account is deactivated after 30 consecutive days without a trade; the general rules page says 60 days.
80% on the default cycle for Stellar 1-Step, 2-Step and Lite, rising to 90% after a scale-up or 95% with the lifetime add-on. 2-Step and Lite also offer 60% (3-day) and 90% (on-demand) options. Stellar Instant starts at 70% and moves to 80% from tier 3.
How often

FundedNext commits to processing reward requests within 24 hours and adds $1,000 if it misses that window. Bank transfer requests are excluded.
Rewards are paid in USDT or USDC, through Confirmo or Rise, by bank transfer, to a saved card, or as a deposit to the FNmarkets brokerage. Iranian traders can only use TC Pay.
Crypto requests are capped at $1,999 where Rise is available, bank transfers run from $1,000 to $50,000 and card payouts from $20 to $3,000.
