3% and 6% against 5% and 10%
1-Step daily loss is 3% and the maximum is a static 6%. 2-Step daily loss is 5% and the maximum is a static 10%, $10,000 on $100,000. The 2-Step asks for 8% in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2. The 1-Step skips the second target and lives inside the tighter floor. Equity Guard at the wrong percent is how a 2-Step habit breaches a 1-Step login.
Stellar Lite is a third contract, with a static 8% maximum, and it is not either of these two. Five minimum trading days apply on the firm flagship. The $100,000 fee is $549. Platforms include MT5, MT4, cTrader, and Match-Trader.
5 days versus 21 days, and the 15% share
The first payout is 5 days on Stellar 1-Step and 21 days on the path that uses the longer wait, then bi-weekly, with a 24-hour guarantee and a $1,000 bonus if the firm is late. Profit split is 80% to 95%, plus 15% of challenge-phase profits. The faster first check is attached to the tighter 6% floor, not to the 10% floor.
There is no consistency score on Stellar 1-Step, 2-Step, or Lite CFD evaluations. Futures challenges use 40%. Pass odds in the marketing sense are not a published number here. The structural difference is the floor and the target, which you can price yourself. Open a Venasri account and run the two dollar maps side by side before you pay.
When the 6% static floor is the wrong room
A method that needs a 5% day of air will not fit a 3% day. The 1-Step maximum of 6% is smaller than the 2-Step Phase 1 target of 8%. You can be asked to make more, on the 2-Step, than the 1-Step allows you to lose. That is the comparison. It is not a slogan about which one is easier.
Weekend holding is allowed on both. Sunday gaps count toward whichever daily percent you bought. The bot should load the 3% profile or the 5% profile explicitly. A shared profile will flatten one of them at the wrong time or fail to flatten the other.
The 200 trade cap does not care which step you picked
Both paths share the EA rule: allowed on MT4 and MT5 when the option is active, maximum 200 trades or 2,000 modifications a day, and $300,000 on one identical strategy. A 1-Step account does not receive extra trades because the floor is tighter. A 2-Step account does not receive fewer.
News is allowed in the challenge. Funded accounts have a 5-minute window around high-impact releases unless an add-on changes it. Daily loss is taken from day-start balance with an equity check at 00:00. The step you chose changes the percent. It does not change the clock.
