Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss	5	Maximum Daily LossDaily loss limits are program-specific:QT PRIME: 4% daily drawdown fixed to the initial balance (does not change with profits).QT POWER: daily drawdown is based on End-of-Day (EOD) equity; 3% on legacy rulesets and 4% for accounts issued after 9 Apr 2025.QT INSTANT: 3% daily drawdown fixed to the initial account balance (does not change with profits).Breaching the daily limit is treated as a hard breach on funded stages.	2
Max Total Loss	10	Maximum Overall LossOverall drawdown limits differ by plan:QT PRIME: 10% maximum drawdown (static, based on initial balance).QT POWER: 8% maximum loss limit (based on initial balance).QT INSTANT: 6% maximum drawdown that trails the highest recorded balance or floating equity (high-water mark). (Some operational details—such as whether trailing drawdown locks at starting balance after withdrawal—depend on the account’s issue date.)	10
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 ModelQT Funded uses a mix of static and trailing drawdown models:Static drawdown: QT PRIME (10% max loss) and QT POWER (8% max loss) use static overall drawdown anchored to the initial balance.Trailing drawdown: QT INSTANT uses a 6% trailing maximum drawdown from the highest recorded balance/equity, paired with a fixed 3% daily drawdown.	Smart drawdown (Instant Funding) and static drawdown (evaluation accounts)

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.	Evaluation stage: news trading is allowed.Funded stage (QT PRIME & QT INSTANT): news trading is restricted around Forex Factory red-folder (high-impact) releases: no manual trading activity (opening/closing/modifying positions or orders) within 5 minutes before/after the event; SL/TP and qualifying limit orders set earlier may still trigger. Violations are treated as hard breaches. QT PRIME On-Demand does not have the news rule applied.	Allowed during evaluation; funded accounts require add-on to trade major news events.
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 holding is permitted across QT PRIME, QT POWER and QT INSTANT (trades can be held over the weekend), subject to general risk rules and market conditions.	Overnight trades allowed; weekend holding requires add-on on funded accounts.
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 rules depend on total allocation:Under $400,000 total allocation: traders may copy trades and use the same strategy across accounts.$400,000 and above: traders may still hold multiple accounts, but they may not copy trades or use the same strategy between accounts; each account must use a different strategy and trade different instruments for its entire history.QT INSTANT: additional max-allocation rule for same-strategy use (max $99,000); QT Instant allocation also counts toward the overall $400,000 cap.	Allowed only between accounts owned by the same trader.
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 permitted only with pre-approval. Traders must submit the EA name and links to [email protected] before use. Trade copiers are also permitted with approval, and copied executions must place visible SL/TP (no invisible trade management). Unapproved use can result in account forfeit and group trading with shared EAs is prohibited.	EAs allowed if non-abusive and non-latency based.
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required	Yes	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 is required as part of onboarding and may be requested by the company’s AML/KYC providers. QT INSTANT specifically requires KYC verification and a signed contract before trading is enabled. Accounts may be treated as inactive/invalid if the latest KYC requirements are not completed.	KYC required before first payout.
