Correction: Stellar 1-Step forex leverage is 1:30, not 1:100
Do not size a Stellar 1-Step position using the 1:100 figure for Stellar 2-Step or Lite. Recheck required margin for the exact programme; leverage does not increase its loss limits. This rule check did not refresh product prices.
FundedNext's EA article limits automation to accounts below $50,000
Buying an EA add-on is not universal permission to automate. Check the exact account size and programme. The article gives no effective date or existing-account exemption; the product price captures have not been refreshed.
FundedNext's general and Instant EA articles differ in account-size detail
Confirm how the general size rule applies before automating a scaled Instant account. An omitted limit in one article is not proof of an exception; retain the written answer for the exact programme and account size.
FundedNext Stellar Instant prices now include cents
The comparison now preserves the cents shown by FundedNext. Confirm the final standard or swap-free price and any optional add-on in checkout before paying.
Every figure above is read from these pages. Products older than 30 days are removed from the comparison until they are recaptured, so a missing product means stale data, not a discontinued plan.
These directory fields describe the firms, not a universal product rule. The sourced product tables above decide the exact fee, split, drawdown and trading conditions. Directory context is not independently refreshed by this comparison; verify platform and payment availability for the exact programme and country.
