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.
