FundedNext rules explained: which Stellar plan you are actually on

Prop firms change their terms, and rules differ by plan size, phase and promotion. FundedNext’s own rules page is authoritative — always check it against the plan you hold before you trade.

This page carries the Stellar 2-Step rule set: a maximum loss of 10% and a daily limit of 5%. The floor a fixed floor that never moves. The floor is set once and never moves, so every dollar of profit is a dollar of extra room. If you hold a different Stellar plan, the shape of the rules is the same and both numbers are not — edit them on the account and the app will judge you by yours.

That warning is doing real work. Traders move between plans as they scale, carry the old figures in their head, and size to a limit that belonged to the last account. The mechanic is identical, which is exactly what makes the substitution invisible.

A static floor is a cushion you can spend

The floor is set once and never moves, so every dollar of profit is a dollar of extra room. Because the floor does not follow you upward, early profit is permanent room: whatever you are up, the corridor you trade inside is that much wider for as long as you hold the account. The failure this design invites is treating that widened corridor as a licence to size up, which converts a structural advantage back into an ordinary account in a single session.

The daily limit and the midnight reset

The daily loss limit is 5%, measured from the day's opening balance and counting open positions, and the day rolls at 12:00 a.m. America/New_York. Midnight New York is a friendlier boundary than the mid-afternoon resets some firms use — it falls outside the session for most traders rather than inside it — but it is still not midnight where most of the world lives.

For a trader in Europe or Asia the reset lands in the small hours, which means an overnight position is very likely to straddle two trading days: the loss it accumulates before the reset counts against one allowance and the loss after it counts against the next. A position can therefore survive a night that a single day’s limit would not have allowed, and this is not a loophole to lean on.

Days and the split

5 trading days on this rule set before a payout can be requested. Any day with a trade on it counts, whatever the result. The split is 90/10.

What most often ends a FundedNext account

• Trading one Stellar plan by another plan’s numbers. The rules have the same shape and different values, which is the hardest kind of difference to notice.
• Spending the static cushion. A fixed floor rewards banking profit and punishes sizing up into it.
• Letting an overnight position straddle the reset. Two allowances is not more room; it is the same account exposed for longer.

Tracking a FundedNext account

The reason these rules are worth reading closely is that none of them are checked by your platform. Your broker shows you a balance; the firm is watching a floor, a daily limit and a share of profit that your balance alone does not tell you about. Edgekeeper loads this rule set onto an account and does the arithmetic on every trade you log: how much daily loss room is left right now, where the drawdown floor currently sits, how many qualifying days you have, and whether one big day has put the consistency rule between you and a payout.

It also warns you before you write the trade, not after. The point is not to be a scoreboard — it is to be the thing that says "this trade takes you inside the last third of your daily loss" while you can still decide something about it.
