FundedNext opened October with a cheap entry on its smallest Stellar accounts. Code STOCT prices four plans well under their listed rates, and the floor is $29.99.

The official post and graphic set the prices like this:

• Stellar Lite 5K: $29.99, listed at $32.99
• Stellar 2-Step 6K: $34.99, listed at $59.99
• Stellar 1-Step 6K: $44.99, listed at $65.99
• Stellar Instant 2K: $49.99, listed at $59.99

A follow-up from the same account says existing and new users can both use it, resets are excluded, the code has to be entered at checkout, and each user can redeem it five times. The accounts covered are only those four. Nothing in the post puts an end date on it, only “for a limited time.”

This is not the futures book

Stellar is FundedNext’s CFD challenge line. The code doesn’t mention Futures, FNL, or the accounts covered in the 5:1 risk-reward cap that went back into the futures challenge terms last week. If you trade the futures side, STOCT doesn’t change what you pay there. The FundedNext Futures page is a separate product.

The discounts aren’t equal either. Lite 5K is about $3 off a $32.99 list price. That’s a token cut dressed up as the headline. The 2-Step 6K drop, from $59.99 to $34.99, is the one that actually moves the price. Instant 2K is $10 off. Treat the “$29.99 only” line as the marketing floor, not as the deal on every account in the graphic.

This also replaces a shorter START6K push from 28-29 September, which had the 2-Step 6K at $29.99 and the 1-Step 6K at $39.99. Those two are slightly more expensive under STOCT. The new code adds Lite and Instant, which START6K didn’t cover.

Our Take

Worth using if you were already going to buy a Stellar 2-Step 6K. Skip it if the only reason is the $29.99 banner, because that price is a $3 trim on the smallest Lite account, and it doesn’t touch futures. Five redemptions and no reset discount also means this isn’t a way to cheaply recycle a failed account.

I’ve been trading for over 5 years, mainly across Indian markets, futures, forex, crypto, and CFDs. Over the years, I’ve traded with a lot of different brokers and prop firms and spent a huge amount of time testing their rules, platforms, pricing, drawdown models, payout systems, and trading conditions.

I’ve been through plenty of failed prop firm challenges myself before eventually figuring out what works for me. That experience has given me a pretty practical understanding of what traders actually deal with when choosing a prop firm or trading platform.

Outside of trading, I work with financial content, SEO, and WordPress. I’ve built websites and tools around trading and finance, tested a wide range of trading tools, and even modified Pine Script indicators on TradingView as a hobby.

I write about prop firms, brokers, crypto platforms, and trading tools with a focus on the things that actually matter to traders, including rules, costs, payouts, and the overall trading experience.
