FundedNext payout cycles: 5-day vs 14-day, first payout timing

The Stellar models differ most on the payout clock. First request timing, cycles and splits by model, and the one rule still to confirm.

Planning the first payout

The 1-Step and 2-Step differ by 16 days on the first request and by a factor of two on the cycle, which for a systematic strategy is the difference between six and eleven payouts in the first half-year. The price of the 1-Step is room: 6% and 3% daily. If the strategy’s Monte Carlo fits inside those, the 1-Step is the higher-cadence route at the same split ceiling. The 40% news rule once funded reduces requested amounts rather than blocking them; the unresolved item is whether a payout-stage consistency check applies on CFD accounts, which two trackers deny and one describes as a soft breach. Ask before the first request. Programs on Stellar programs compared; the card at FundedNext rules.
