Prime Program requires Risk approval: eligible after 5 payouts on one account (the SIM account maximum), 10 across accounts, or 20% profit on one account. Only accounts with at least one payout move to Live. Choose Live or a cash-out of 50% of MLL per eligible account within 24 hours; no answer means Live. SIM accounts close and evaluations pause. Cash-out or a Live breach: 21 days without new purchases or resuming evaluations. Live starts at $0 with real capital, EOD drawdown, 80% split, daily payouts and no consistency rule. One Live trader per household; other household members cannot hold SIM Funded accounts.

Available after $100K Total Active Profits. 80% of simulated profit splits: 50% settlement, 25% live deposit (max $50K), 25% reserve (auto-refills). Auto liquidation at 20% of deposit (locks at deposit after first withdrawal). Withdrawals: 80/20 split, $100 min, 2-5 days processing.

After a breach, within the time shown on the dashboard. Restarts evaluation even from SIM Funded, keeping the account number and addons. Costs 55% of the current list price including addons; addons cannot change and the hedging warning is not restored.

Unlimited resets at no additional cost. Resets within 7 days keep the same Challenge Account; resets after 7 days provide a new one.

Optional at purchase, with additive surcharges on the base price: 100% Profit Split +20%; 2x Payout Cap +40%; BrightCore only, 3 Day Payout Cycle +20%. Targets, drawdown and contracts do not change.

• BrightPlus: intraday trailing on peak equity, including open profit. In SIM it locks at starting balance + $100 once equity reaches the buffer.
• BrightCore: trailing on the highest closing balance, updated between 4:45 and 5:59 PM ET. In SIM it locks at starting balance + $100 on the first approved payout, even if previously higher.
  No lock during evaluation. Touching the floor with live equity breaches the account at any time.

Trailing end-of-day (EOD) system. Locks at the initial account balance and never decreases.

The split applies to each requested amount; the full request is deducted from the account balance.

• Flex: 95% Reward Share by default for new and existing accounts, with no paid add-on.
• Other Futures challenges: 80% Reward Share.

No separate daily loss limit.

Daily loss limit only on Bolt Challenge ($1,000 soft breach for $50K account). Flex, Legacy and Rapid have no daily loss limit.

BrightPlus: starting balance + MLL + $100, retained after every payout. Only closed profit counts. Falling below pauses payouts without breaching the account. BrightCore has no such buffer.

Up to 5 active SIM Funded accounts across all plans and sizes. Unlimited evaluations. With all 5 slots used, another evaluation pass waits until a slot opens.

No time limit, subject to inactivity rules.

No time limit. Trade at your own pace until the profit target is met.

No explicit minimum. Consistency requires at least 2 sessions on BrightPlus and 3 on BrightCore in practice.

Trade2Earn: activity earns BrightTokens redeemable for perks and evaluations, with no cash value. On Live, Prime Ladder pays bonuses every 10 winning days through Diamond (80 days); Prime Trader at 90 is status only. Total bonuses per account: 25K $5,000; 50K $10,000; 100K $20,000; 150K $30,000. Losing days and payouts preserve progress; an account breach resets it.

• BrightPlus: no winning-day requirement.
• BrightCore SIM: 5 per payout, or 3 with the addon. Minimum closed net profit per session: 25K $100; 50K $200; 100K and 150K $300. Days need not be consecutive; at most one per session.

Free. No activation fee or recurring charges on the FundedNext Account.

One-time fee (no monthly subscription).

Only exclusively self-authored software with no third-party access. It must not mirror another trader, be a black box or run simultaneously at other firms. Source-code review may be required.

EAs and trading bots are allowed on both Challenge and FundedNext Accounts. No support is provided for setup or troubleshooting. Strategies exploiting system vulnerabilities (latency abuse, order flooding) remain prohibited.

VPN/VPS allowed without concealing identity or location or bypassing country restrictions. Only the owner may trade the account.

Prohibited within and across your accounts, including different expiries, mini/micro and correlated instruments in the same group. First occurrence: warning, positions closed and profit removed while losses remain. Second: account breach. One warning per evaluation and one over the lifetime of SIM, not renewed by payouts or resets. Both accounts are penalized for a cross-account hedge.

More than 50% of net winning-trade profit must come from trades held longer than 15 seconds. Partial fills count separately. Equality is insufficient. Noncompliance delays passing or blocks payouts without breaching the account; the calculation restarts after each payout. Exploitative tick scalping and HFT are prohibited.

Only between your BrightFunded accounts within the same profile. Copying others, signals or group trading is a hard breach.

Open a new trade every 30 calendar days in evaluation and every 7 trading sessions in SIM, excluding holidays. Closing, editing and unfilled pending orders do not count. Advance warning; missing the deadline deactivates the account as a hard breach.

Evaluation only: best session / total net profit, up to 50% on BrightPlus and 40% on BrightCore. Includes commissions and losing days. Recalculated at session close; equality is allowed. Delays passing without breaching the account. Does not apply in SIM.
