How FundedNext Works?
At FundedNext, we empower traders to grow their skills and strategies using simulated capital, no personal funds required. Traders typically begin with a Challenge Phase, and upon meeting specific performance conditions, they become eligible for the Funded Phase, and payouts based on results in simulated accounts.
CFDs
In CFDs, FundedNext offers 4 different types of Stellar funding models, such as:
- Stellar 1-Step: a straightforward single-phase challenge.
- Stellar 2-Step: a traditional two-phase challenge.
- Stellar Lite: a beginner-friendly, lower-barrier option.
- Stellar Instant: skips the challenge entirely, offering immediate access to capital.
All FundedNext CFDs models share the same reliable foundations: no time limits to pass the challenge, a 15% profit share from the Challenge Phase, and fast 24-hour payouts backed by a $1,000 guarantee if delayed.
Futures
In 2025, FundedNext expanded into Futures with two dedicated models:
- Rapid Challenge: built for traders who prefer speed and flexibility.
- Legacy Challenge: designed for traders who value structure and consistency.
Just like in CFDs, both Futures models are guided by transparent rules, fair incentives, and the same 24-hour payout promise that sets FundedNext apart.

Traders didn’t need to ask or chase us; our team acted proactively and transparently.
It’s not only what traders appreciate silently, but they also share their experiences openly on Trustpilot. Here’s one of the reviews:
