BrightFunded Launches Three New Tailored Challenge Plans for Traders

Major BrightFunded Update: Three New Tailored Challenge Plans for Traders

BrightFunded announces a complete overhaul of its challenge programs, introducing three new distinct paths designed to accommodate various trading styles. This significant update replaces the previous structure, offering traders more personalized options to achieve a funded account.

Customization: BrightFunded's New Philosophy

The platform now offers a selection of three distinct challenges, allowing traders to choose the path that best fits their strategy and risk preferences. This initiative aims to move away from a "one-size-fits-all" approach and empower traders with flexibility and choices for their funding goals.

Details of the New Challenge Plans

1-Step Challenge: The Fast Track

This plan is designed for traders who aim to reach a funded account as quickly as possible, featuring a single evaluation phase.

• Evaluation Phases: 1 phase
• Profit Target: 10%
• Daily Drawdown Rule: 3% (calculated as the higher value between equity and balance at the start of the day).
  • Example: On a $100,000 account, the daily loss limit is $3,000.
• Maximum Drawdown Rule: 6% trailing (dynamic). This limit follows the highest equity ever reached (high-water mark) and locks in place once the equity reaches 6% above the initial balance.
• Profit Share: 15%

2-Step Bright Challenge: Balanced Conditions

This entry-level option offers a balance between achievable profit targets and drawdown rules that provide sufficient room to trade with confidence.

• Evaluation Phases: 2 phases
  • Phase 1: 8% profit target
  • Phase 2: 5% profit target
• Daily Drawdown Rule: 4% (calculated as the higher value between equity and balance at the start of the day).
  • Example: On a $100,000 account, the daily loss limit is $4,000.
• Maximum Drawdown Rule: 8% static. The limit is fixed from the start based on the original account balance and does not move.
• Profit Share: 15%

2-Step Classic Challenge: Greater Flexibility

Built for traders who prefer working with wider targets and a larger drawdown buffer, offering more flexibility for their strategy.

• Evaluation Phases: 2 phases
  • Phase 1: 10% profit target
  • Phase 2: 5% profit target
• Daily Drawdown Rule: 5% (calculated as the higher value between equity and balance at the start of the day).
  • Example: On a $100,000 account, the daily loss limit is $5,000.
• Maximum Drawdown Rule: 10% static. The limit is fixed from the account's initial balance and does not change throughout the evaluation.
• Profit Share: 15%

Understanding Drawdown Rules

Daily Drawdown (DD)

The daily limit is calculated based on the higher value between your equity and balance at the start of the day. Your account's equity (closed positions + floating PnL) must not reach this maximum daily loss limit.

Maximum Drawdown (DD)

• Trailing (Dynamic): Used in the 1-Step plan. It follows the "high-water mark" (the highest equity ever reached). As your equity grows, the minimum threshold rises with it. However, once the equity reaches 6% above the initial balance, the limit locks in place and stops moving.
• Static: Used in the 2-Step Bright and 2-Step Classic plans. It is fixed from the start based on the original account balance and does not move, providing a constant absolute limit.

BrightFunded's previous structure, now labeled "Original," will remain available for a limited time to support existing users. Upon updating, users will automatically transition to the new Challenge structure. For any questions or assistance in choosing the right option, BrightFunded's support team is available to help.
