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.

• BrightPlus: up to one approved payout per session; first payout from 24 hours after the first trade. Each subsequent payout requires fresh closed profit of 1% of the original account size.
• BrightCore: winning-day cycles, counted again from the next full session after each payout.

• Futures Fast: on-demand (after 5 profitable days and offsetting trailing drawdown)
• Futures Instant: on-demand (after 7 profitable days)
• Futures Fast Pro: on-demand (after 1 profitable day, balance > $52K)

• 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 time limit, subject to inactivity rules.

No time limit on any futures account.

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

Losing days and payouts preserve progress; an account breach resets it.
