| Drawdown Type | Drawdown ModelBrightFunded’s drawdown approach uses an end-of-day (EOD) high-watermark logic for daily risk: the daily permitted loss is always 5% of the challenge size, and the next day’s breach level is set using the highest balance or equity recorded at the end of the prior day. The daily loss resets during the rollover window (roughly 23:30–23:59 CET).Across the evaluation phases, the account must also respect a 10% maximum loss limit; breaching either the daily or max-loss thresholds invalidates the account. | Drawdown ModelEquity-based drawdown. For One Phase / Two Phase / Stock Traders / Bitcoin Maxi: Max Daily Drawdown is a % of the previous day’s equity snapshot (5% for One/Two/Stock; 3% for Bitcoin Maxi). Max Drawdown is a fixed % of the initial balance (10% for One/Two/Stock; 5% for Bitcoin Maxi). Meme Coin uses a 6.5% trailing drawdown. |

After the first payout, reward splits can be requested bi-weekly (every 14 days).

| Trading Permissions | ||
| News Trading | News trading is permitted, but traders remain responsible for respecting all drawdown rules; spreads and slippage can widen materially during high-impact releases. Tick-scalping and any attempts to exploit pricing/data-feed errors are prohibited. | News trading depends on the challenge: Two Phases allowed; One Phase, Stock Traders and Meme Coin not allowed within 10 minutes before/after high-impact releases. |
| Weekend Trades | BrightFunded allows holding positions over the weekend. Traders should account for gap risk and liquidity changes at the weekly reopen; a swap-free add-on can remove swap fees for overnight/weekend holds when purchased. | Weekend trading: One Phase, Two Phase and Stock Traders not allowed; Meme Coin allowed. |
| Copy Trading | Copy trading is allowed only between accounts owned by the same person (BrightFunded accounts, other evaluation firms, or personal brokerage accounts). Copying between different individuals, signal-group trading, or account management services are prohibited and can lead to profit deductions, resets, or closure. | Copy trading from other traders is prohibited; copying from your own personal accounts into your Funded Prime account is permitted if registered under the same email address. (Copy trading is permitted in evaluation stage.) |
| EA Allowed | Expert Advisors (EAs) are allowed, provided all activity remains compliant with BrightFunded’s daily/maximum loss rules and non-authorized-practices policies. | EAs are allowed for Prime Traders and strictly prohibited for Stock Traders. |
| KYC & Restrictions | ||
| KYC Required | Yes | No |
| KYC Stage | KYC is required to activate a Funded Star account after passing Phase 2, and BrightFunded uses SumSub for identity verification (typically government-issued ID plus proof of address). Activation also includes a security check by the risk team before the trader contract is issued. | KYC must be completed to be eligible for payouts (Rules and Conditions/FAQs). FAQs note that if a payout exceeds $1,000, required KYC documents must be submitted and approved before requesting a withdrawal. |
