Trade2Earn is a BrightFunded program that rewards traders based on their trading volume, not just their profits. For every trade you make on Challenge or Funded accounts, you earn BrightFunded Tokens that can be exchanged for exclusive perks.

Available perks

• More Drawdown – Greater flexibility and margin for error.
• Lower Profit Targets – Easier to pass evaluations.

Token calculation

• Forex, indices, commodities: 0.2 tokens / $100,000 volume
• Crypto: 0.2 tokens / $20,000 volume

If your floating PnL (profit and loss) drops below -2% of the account balance, the account will be permanently closed.

Only applies to Instant Funding Standard, Pro, Flex, AquaMan and TryAqua.

• Copy trading between AquaFunded accounts
• Copy trading from Funded-to Evaluation accounts and vice versa
• Copy trading between AquaFunded account and external accounts.

Two policies depending on the account creation date:

Accounts opened after 2026-04-27

• News trading is allowed.
• Profits generated within 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a red folder (high-impact) news event or FOMC are capped at 0.5% of the starting balance per payout cycle.
• Anything above the cap is removed without further penalty.

Accounts opened before 2026-04-27

• Trades opened or closed within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after a red folder news event or FOMC on funded accounts are not allowed.
• Any profits generated during these windows are removed.

Trading 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the event is prohibited ( this is a soft breach and will not result in your account being breached).

Trading during this window will result in a deduction of the profit that you made on that particular trade.

Executed trades during this period that lead to a loss won't be compensated.

Executing a trade refers to initiating or closing a market order, as well as triggering any pending order, including stop-loss and take-profit instructions.

Applies on funded accounts. A single trading day cannot equal or exceed a given percentage of total profits during the payout period. If it does, payouts are blocked until the ratio normalises; the account is not closed.
