Read the update: rules and worked examples
EA and platform rules depend on size
The EA guide currently requires a paid add-on for MT4/MT5 below $50,000; accounts of $50,000 and above use manual trading. EAs are not allowed on cTrader or Match-Trader. TradingView is listed for analysis, not automatically for execution. A platform listing alone does not establish that your strategy is permitted.
Worked example: an open loss can change the outcome at reset
Hypothetical $25,000 Stellar 2-Step account: the 5% daily limit is $1,250. With $400 realised profit that day and a $1,400 floating loss, the daily result is −$1,000 before fees. After reset, the $400 belongs to the previous day; the $1,400 floating loss remains and exceeds the new day’s $1,250 allowance. Commission and swaps also count.
This is an arithmetic illustration, not a risk allowance to spend. Reset is at 00:00 server time, not automatically Vietnamese midnight. Keep a buffer rather than treating the boundary as safe.
Stellar 2-Step: three payout choices
- Standard cycle: first 21 days, then 14 days; base reward share 80%.
- Three profitable days: each must reach at least 1% of the initial balance; base reward share 60%.
- On-Demand: at least 2% account growth, with the best day no more than 40% of total profit; base reward share 90%.
The Stellar 2-Step page says the choice is fixed at purchase and cannot be changed afterwards. Paid options may differ; the highest share is not the default. Reaching a day count does not itself mean a reward has been approved, and processing after approval is different from receipt.
