FundedNext: what to establish before choosing a programme
Country eligibility comes before challenge selection. The terms checked on 27 October 2026 list both Vietnamese citizens and residents among the restricted groups for CFD services. The examples below explain the rules; they are not an invitation to buy a challenge from Vietnam.
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.
