The rules you're trading against
To pass FundedNext Stellar Challenge you need to hit the 8% profit target, never breach the static maximum loss, and stay under the 5% daily loss limit, across at least 5 days.
A 10% maximum drawdown and a 5% daily loss limit, with an 8% profit target on the Stellar Challenge.
Where most traders slip
The fastest way out is the 5% daily loss limit: a short losing streak at the wrong size. The drawdown gets the patient ones; the daily limit gets the impatient ones.
- →Anchor risk to the 5% day and 10% total: fixed small per-trade risk keeps both comfortably out of reach.
- →Reach the 5-day minimum with steady green days rather than one outsized session.
