Two Steps
Max Drawdown
  • Stellar 2-Step, Stellar 1-Step, Stellar Lite: Static
  • Stellar Instant: 6% trailing. It rises with profits, never falls, is capped at the initial account balance and does not reset after a payout.

Current CFD programs use three systems:

  • Dynamic Risk Shield™: 6% on Ash and Thunderbolt, 7% on Vanguard, 5% on Oracle and 4% on Ember. It trails the equity high-water mark and locks at the initial balance where specified.
  • Static maximum loss: 6% on Phoenix Classic, Ignite Classic and Ignite Turbo; 10% on Phoenix Legacy; 7% on Surge. The floor is fixed from the initial balance.
  • Nonstop Dynamic Risk Shield™: 3% on Supernova and Hypernova; 2% on Ultranova. It trails continuously and never locks.
    Percentages and behavior are shown per phase in the challenge catalogue.
Profit Split
  • Stellar 1-Step: 80%

  • Stellar 2-Step and Stellar Lite: 80% with Standard, 60% with 3-Day Performance Reward, or 90% with On-Demand Performance Reward. The reward structure is chosen at checkout.

  • Eligible Stellar accounts can reach up to 95% under the scaling plan.

  • Instant: 70% on tier 1 and 2, 80% on tier 3 and above

  • Stellar 2-Step and Stellar 1-Step: 15% of the profits from the evaluation phases after achieving 10% profit in the funded account

Standard profit split: 90%. A trader can select 80% or 100% at checkout; changing the split also changes the Challenge price. The selected split remains linked to that account, and older accounts retain their original conditions.
