FundedNext has launched its January competition, offering traders a chance to compete for a combined prize pool of $8,000 in cash rewards and $1.7 million in Stellar Lite challenge accounts. The FundedNext January competition runs from January 1 to January 30, and is open to global participants aiming to demonstrate their trading skills in a structured, high-stakes environment.
Top performers will receive both cash and funded account prizes, with 1st place earning $5,000 and a Stellar Lite 100K+ account, followed by $2,000 and $1,000 for 2nd and 3rd places, respectively. Traders ranked 4th to 10th will receive Stellar Lite 50K accounts, while those placing 11th to 600th will be awarded accounts ranging from 25K to 5K, depending on their final position.
This competition format reflects a growing trend in proprietary trading toward performance-based funding, where traders gain access to capital through merit rather than upfront investment. It also provides a transparent framework for evaluating trading consistency, risk management, and strategic execution under competitive conditions.
