At FundedNext, we have always prioritized transparency, fairness, and trader satisfaction. Our mission is to provide traders with the best possible conditions to grow and succeed in the financial markets. As the industry evolves, we continuously refine our offerings to ensure a seamless and rewarding experience. We don’t just keep up with the industry—we redefine it. Our vision is centered on pushing the boundaries of proprietary trading, creating a space where traders are not just rewarded but truly empowered to thrive.
As part of this commitment, FundedNext became the first proprietary trading firm to introduce a 15% Profit Share from the Challenge Phase, traders can claim this reward in their FundedNext Account once they meet the required criteria, ensuring that dedication and consistency are recognized and rewarded. This initiative ensured that skilled traders were recognized and compensated for their hard work, reinforcing our commitment to fairness and trader motivation. This Profit Share has been an additional reward, offering an extra incentive for consistent performance.
Unlike many proprietary firms that limit trading during high-impact news events, FundedNext has provided complete freedom to trade during these events, enabling traders to leverage market volatility without restrictions.
We also recognize the importance of timely payouts, which is why we introduced Guaranteed Rewards within 24 Hours, ensuring that traders receive their earnings without delays. This industry-first initiative underscores our commitment to efficiency and trader satisfaction, providing a fulfilling trading experience.
By continuously refining our approach and placing traders at the center of our vision, FundedNext is not just another proprietary trading firm—it is reshaping the industry and creating an environment where traders are uplifted, rewarded, and supported for long-term success.
Key Updates: Enhancing Clarity, Efficiency, and Trader Benefits
1. Simplified Challenge for a Streamlined Experience
Over time, we have observed that multiple funding models created confusion for traders when selecting the right path to trading success. To enhance clarity and provide an improved trading experience, FundedNext has rebranded its challenges.
In a bolder move, FundedNext has eliminated the Express and Evaluation Challenges entirely. This sharpens our focus on the Stellar 1-Step and Stellar 2-Step Challenges, giving traders a clearer path to success.
Existing active accounts in the Express and Evaluation Models will remain active, but new purchases and top-ups, reset for these challenges will no longer be available.
2. Faster Payouts Now Available for Stellar 2-Step Challenge
We know that quick access to profits is crucial for traders, and timely payouts are an essential part of a positive trading experience. So, to improve this, FundedNext has reduced the first payout cycle for the Stellar 2-Step Challenge from 28 days to 21 days.
This means traders can now access their earnings sooner, allowing them to reinvest, or withdraw, funds without delays. Combined with our Guaranteed Rewards within 24 Hours, this change further solidifies FundedNext’s commitment to fast, reliable payouts.
Under the updated payout schedule:
- Traders in the Stellar 1-Step Challenge receive payouts every 5 trading days.
- Traders in the Stellar 2-Step Challenge receive their first payout after 21 days, followed by payouts every 14 days.
- Traders in the Stellar Lite Challenge receive payouts on the same 21-day and 14-day cycle.

3. Standardized News Trading Profit Share Policy for Risk Management
FundedNext remains one of the only proprietary firms in the industry that has allowed unrestricted news trading. However, to balance risk and reward, a News Trading Profit Share Policy has been introduced for only FundedNext Accounts.
Under this policy, for profitable trades executed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event, only 40% of the profit will count toward the trader’s account balance. Since this policy applies only to FundedNext Accounts, Challenge Accounts will remain unrestricted.
Only the listed high-impact news events that directly correlate with the trading symbols will be considered for the News Trading Share Profit Policy.
This policy ensures that traders still continue to benefit from news trading but with a more structured risk management approach.
For a detailed breakdown of the News Trading Profit Policy, check out our FAQ section.
4. Enhanced Profit Share Eligibility to Reward Consistent Performance
FundedNext was the first proprietary trading firm to introduce a 15% Profit Share from the Challenge Phase. This applies to all traders participating in the FundedNext Challenge, except for those with the Stellar Lite Account.
To enhance this initiative, traders must now achieve 10% growth in their FundedNext Account before they can withdraw the 15% Profit Share from the Challenge Phase.
For example, if a trader achieves 4% growth in one trading cycle, they must achieve an additional 6% growth in subsequent cycles to qualify for the Profit Share.
Learn more about Profit Share eligibility and calculations in our FAQ section.
5. Optimized Commission Structure for a Competitive Trading Environment
At FundedNext, we replicate real-market trading conditions in a simulated environment. To ensure fairness and transparency in costs, we provide one of the most competitive commission structures in the proprietary trading industry. Our commission model is designed to offer traders a clear and transparent fee structure. Now, as the industry evolves, our commission model will undergo some changes too.
For the Stellar 2-Step Challenge, forex and commodities commissions are now standardized at $5 per lot.
For cryptocurrency trading, a 0.04% commission based on trade volume has been introduced for all trading models.
For example, if a trader executes a 0.05 BTC trade at a market price of $97,897.20, the commission is calculated as follows:
- Commission = 0.05 × $97,897.20 x 0.04% = $1.96
This structured and transparent commission model ensures that traders benefit from fair and predictable trading costs, reinforcing FundedNext’s commitment to providing industry-leading conditions.

Regional Updates: Service Availability
In line with our ongoing efforts to refine and improve our business strategy, FundedNext will no longer be accepting new clients from Sri Lanka and Malaysia. However, existing clients from these regions can continue to trade on their accounts as usual. Please note that if an account is breached, clients from these regions will not be able to reset their accounts or make further purchases.
