Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss	5	Maximum Daily LossDaily loss limits at The 5%ers focus on controlling intraday risk, especially within the High Stakes and Bootcamp structures.High Stakes: Daily drawdown limit of 5%, typically calculated from the previous day's closing balance, including both closed and floating PnL.Bootcamp: While the program emphasises a 5% max loss per stage rather than a separate daily cap, traders must still stay comfortably within this limit to avoid breaching.Hyper Growth: Uses a 6% overall loss cap with no separate published daily...	Maximum Daily LossDaily loss limits vary by program but are always defined as a percentage of the end-of-day reference value (higher of balance or equity at 5 p.m. EST).1-Step: ~4% daily loss.2-Step / Prime 2-Step: ~5% daily loss.Rapid: 3% daily loss.Instant Lite: 2% daily loss.Instant Elite: primarily governed by a 10% total loss limit rather than a fixed daily cap.Breaching the daily loss limit at any point in the session is treated as a hard rule violation.
Max Total Loss	10	Maximum Overall LossThe 5%ers defines maximum overall loss per program to cap total drawdown across each phase or funded account.Bootcamp: 5% max loss at each evaluation step and 4% max loss once funded, measured from the starting balance of the stage.High Stakes: 10% maximum overall loss for each evaluation phase and funded account, with 5% daily drawdown included.Hyper Growth: 6% maximum overall loss throughout the evaluation and funded stages, with positions allowed to be held overnight and over weekends.Breaching the...	Maximum Overall LossMaximum total drawdown at Blueberry Funded is static on most programs:1-Step: 6% max total loss from the starting balance.2-Step / Prime 2-Step / Synthetic: 10% max total loss.Rapid: 4% max total loss on evaluation (and typically 6% funded).Instant Lite: 4% max total loss.Instant Elite: 10% max total loss.If equity falls below the allowed loss floor at any time, the account is considered breached and closed.
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 ModelThe 5%ers uses fixed percentage loss limits rather than trailing equity models. Each program specifies a static maximum loss relative to the starting balance of the phase or funded stage (e.g., 5% or 10% for Bootcamp and High Stakes, 6% for Hyper Growth).Static Limits: Maximum loss is typically defined as a fixed percentage of the starting balance, and includes both closed and floating losses.Program-Specific Caps: Bootcamp and Hyper Growth are structured around relatively conservative overall loss thresholds (4–6%), while...	Drawdown ModelMost Blueberry Funded accounts use a static drawdown model for lifetime loss, with the maximum loss defined as a fixed percentage of the starting balance and a balance/equity snapshot used each day for daily loss.The Rapid and some instant styles effectively act like a trailing drawdown within their short evaluation windows, where the permitted loss tracks equity highs more closely and encourages faster profit protection.
Payouts
Payout Frequency	Payout FrequencyOn Funded Star accounts, BrightFunded allows the first reward split request 30 days after the first trade. After the first payout, reward splits can be requested bi-weekly (every 14 days). Optional add-ons at checkout can enable weekly payouts (every 7 days) and/or an instant 90% profit split upgrade.	Payout FrequencyThe 5%ers provides regular and scalable payout options across its programs.Payouts are generally available on a bi-weekly basis once funded.The minimum withdrawal amount is $150 after the profit split has been applied.Profit splits start around 50% on Bootcamp and 80% on High Stakes and can scale up to 100% as traders progress through the scaling plan.Profits can be left in the account to increase the effective drawdown buffer and support larger position sizes.At higher High Stakes and Bootcamp tiers,...	Payout FrequencyFunded accounts at Blueberry Funded typically pay out every 14 days. Some account types and add-ons may allow a 7-day cycle once initial conditions are met, but bi-weekly payouts are the standard.Payout eligibility usually requires at least 3 distinct trading days with closed profit and a funded account that finishes the cycle in net profit of at least $100 after the profit split.
Days to First Payout	30	14	14
Payout Processing Time	Payout ProcessingBrightFunded states that payouts are typically processed by the finance team within about 1 day after a request is submitted, with final receipt time depending on the payment rail and compliance checks.	Payout ProcessingThe 5%ers typically processes profit withdrawals on a bi-weekly cycle, with payments sent after approval via Rise, The5ers Visa Card, bank transfer, or cryptocurrencies. Processing times are designed to be prompt, with most payouts completed within a few business days depending on the chosen method and any required compliance checks.	Payout ProcessingOnce a payout request is approved, Blueberry Funded processes withdrawals using a mix of direct crypto transfers and RiseWorks-managed payments. Crypto payouts are usually completed fastest, while larger sums via RiseWorks may take a few extra days due to banking and compliance checks.Average processing time is around 1–4 business days, after which arrival depends on the chosen method and the receiving bank or wallet.

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 is allowed on most The 5%ers programs with important restrictions.Bootcamp and Hyper Growth: News trading is permitted, but placing bracket orders (pending orders around major news purely to capture spikes) is prohibited.High Stakes: Executing orders from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news is not allowed.These rules are intended to prevent abusive event-driven strategies while still allowing normal trading around news where permitted.	Blueberry Funded enforces strict high-impact news restrictions. Traders must not open or close trades within a short window (commonly 2–10 minutes) before or after red-folder news. This includes take-profit closures as well as new orders.A stop-loss exception usually applies for trades opened several hours earlier – if a pre-set stop-loss is hit during the news window, that closure is generally allowed.
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.	The 5%ers allows overnight and weekend holding on most instruments across Bootcamp, High Stakes, and Hyper Growth programs, subject to normal market hours and swap rates. Indices may carry higher swaps when held over weekends, and traders should monitor rollover costs carefully.	Weekend and overnight holding is generally permitted. Traders may keep positions open across market close and reopen, and crypto markets can often be traded through the weekend, subject to platform hours. Some faster programs (e.g. Rapid) may impose additional weekend execution restrictions, but carrying positions is typically 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.	The 5%ers permits copy trading with clear limitations.Copy trading is allowed for High Stakes and Hyper Growth accounts under defined conditions.Once total managed capital exceeds about $500K, taking identical trades across multiple accounts is no longer allowed.Copying from an external account is only allowed if that account belongs to the same trader; third-party copy trading is not permitted.Copy trading is not allowed between two Bootcamp accounts.The firm also integrates with Prop Firm One, enabling traders to mirror their own strategies...	Copy trading is allowed only between your own Blueberry Funded accounts and via supported tools such as the Prop Firm One (PF1) integration. Copying from or to external personal accounts, signal services or other traders’ prop accounts is not permitted, nor is managing third-party money through a Blueberry Funded account.
EA Allowed	Expert Advisors (EAs) are allowed, provided all activity remains compliant with BrightFunded’s daily/maximum loss rules and non-authorized-practices policies.	Expert Advisors (EAs) are allowed at The 5%ers as long as they comply with the firm’s terms.EAs must place a stop-loss on every position.EAs must not copy trades from other people’s signals or third-party systems.Tick scalping, latency arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, hedge arbitrage, and emulator-based trading are not allowed.Any account found using EAs that violate these rules can be cancelled, banned, and not refunded across all programs, including Bootcamp and Hyper Growth.	Expert Advisors (EAs) and algorithmic trading bots are allowed on many accounts, provided they do not employ forbidden behaviours such as HFT, latency arbitrage, martingale, grid or hyper-scalping styles.EAs are expected to mirror how a prudent manual trader would behave under the same risk limits; systems that consistently push margins, daily loss or position stacking limits are likely to be flagged.
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required	Yes	No	Yes
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.	The 5%ers requires standard KYC verification and account checks, particularly before funding accounts and processing withdrawals. Traders should expect to provide identification and relevant documentation in line with regulatory and payment-provider requirements.	As a broker-backed prop firm, Blueberry Funded must perform KYC/AML checks, especially before larger withdrawals via RiseWorks. Traders should be prepared to provide government-issued ID and, where requested, proof of address and source-of-funds information. Failure to pass KYC can lead to account closure and cancellation of pending payouts.
