Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss	5	Maximum Daily LossDaily loss limits at DNA Funded depend on the program. Single Helix uses a 5% max daily drawdown, Double Helix typically applies 6% in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2, Rapid Challenge runs with a 4% daily loss cap and Instant Funding does not apply a separate daily limit but is constrained by a tight trailing overall drawdown.The daily loss check is balance- or equity-based around the end-of-day snapshot, and breaching the permitted percentage at any point in the trading day constitutes an account violation.	5
Max Total Loss	10	Maximum Overall LossFor Single Helix, Double Helix and Rapid Challenge, DNA Funded uses static lifetime loss caps, typically around 10% for the main 1-phase and 2-phase models and 5% for Rapid.Instant Funding accounts instead use a 4% trailing overall drawdown that ratchets up as new equity highs are made; if balance or equity falls below this trailing line the account is breached, even if it remains above the initial starting balance.	10
Drawdown Type	Drawdown ModelFunderPro uses a balance-based daily drawdown reset and a fixed maximum drawdown measured from the initial balance (no trailing drawdown). Daily drawdown is calculated from a daily snapshot (5:00 p.m. EST / day start 00:00 GMT+3 server time depending on page context).	Drawdown ModelThe evaluation challenges primarily rely on static drawdown limits calculated from either the initial balance or an end-of-day balance snapshot, while the Instant Funding program uses a classic trailing drawdown that tracks new highs and never resets upward after a payout.In practice this means evaluation traders can stabilise their static loss buffers by growing the account gradually, whereas Instant Funding traders must protect profits more aggressively because the allowed loss band follows their performance.	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.
Payouts
Payout Frequency	Payout FrequencyOne-Phase & Classic: bi-weekly payouts (every 14 days). Optional “First Reward in 7 Days” add-on allows first payout after 7 days instead of 14.Pro: selectable payout cadence at checkout: Daily payouts (60% split) or Weekly payouts (90% split), eligible once the account is at least 1% in profit vs initial balance.	Payout FrequencyFunded traders at DNA Funded can usually request a payout every 14 days, provided they have traded on at least three separate days and finished the period with a positive balance.With the optional Early Payout Booster, that payout frequency can be shortened to every 7 days on eligible challenges, offering weekly cash flow for consistent performers.	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.
Days to First Payout	14	14	30
Payout Processing Time	Payout ProcessingFunderPro states rewards are typically processed within 1 working day after approval (average issuing time ~8 hours).	Payout ProcessingPayouts are requested through the DNA Funded dashboard and, once approved, are typically processed within about 1–4 business days, after which arrival time depends on the chosen payment rail.The firm warns that additional time may be needed for bank wires, compliance checks or during periods of high demand, but most crypto withdrawals are completed relatively quickly once released.	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.

Trading Permissions
News Trading	14	News trading is permitted in principle, but traders must avoid opening, modifying or closing positions within roughly 10 minutes before and after high-impact economic releases or other designated major events, as defined by calendars such as FXStreet.Pure news scalping, latency or gap exploitation around data releases is prohibited, and violations can lead to profit removal or account closure, especially on funded accounts.	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.
Weekend Trades	Payout ProcessingFunderPro advertises an average reward issuing time of 8 hours (after approval). For challenge-fee credits (where applicable), fee credits are processed within 7 days of the first reward withdrawal.	Weekend trading rules differ by instrument and program. For most challenges, crypto positions can be opened and managed over the weekend, while positions on other markets may be held but not actively traded while markets are closed.The Rapid and Instant Funding challenges are stricter and generally do not allow weekend trading at all, so traders on these products should ensure positions are closed before the weekly market close.	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.
Copy Trading	FunderPro allows copy trading under strict conditions designed to ensure that all trading activity originates from the trader’s own strategies. Copy trading is permitted only between accounts owned by the same individual (including the trader’s own accounts at other prop firms or retail brokers), while copying from third-party accounts is strictly prohibited and results in a hard breach. Coordinated trading between different traders, the use of rented or mass-distributed EAs, public signal mirroring, or any form of collusion is forbidden,...	Copy trading is tightly controlled at DNA Funded. Copying or mirroring trades from non-DNA accounts, between different users or across multiple profiles is prohibited, and managing other people's accounts is considered a breach.Within a single user's own DNA Funded accounts, limited internal copying may be acceptable, but traders must still respect all risk rules and avoid patterns that resemble large-scale account netting or group 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.
EA Allowed	FunderPro allows the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated trading systems across supported platforms such as MT5, cTrader, and TradeLocker. However, traders are strictly required to own the strategy or source code behind any automation used. The use of third-party rented bots, closed “black box” systems, mass-distributed EAs, or automation sourced from public signal groups is prohibited, as FunderPro evaluates individual trading skill and decision-making rather than replicated strategies.	Expert Advisors and algorithmic strategies are allowed on 1 Phase, 2 Phase and Rapid challenge accounts, provided they do not implement banned behaviours such as high-frequency scalping, latency arbitrage, martingale or grid systems.On Instant Funding accounts, EAs and fully automated algos are not permitted; these programs are meant to be traded manually or with very light automation that still reflects the trader's own discretion.	Expert Advisors (EAs) are allowed, provided all activity remains compliant with BrightFunded’s daily/maximum loss rules and non-authorized-practices policies.
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required	No	Yes	Yes
KYC Stage	FunderPro requires traders to complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process after passing the Challenge and before signing the funded trader agreement or receiving any payouts. Traders may participate in the Challenge phase without completing KYC; however, verification is mandatory to transition into a funded account. FunderPro advises traders to ensure they can successfully pass the KYC process before purchasing a Challenge to avoid future issues. Once documents are submitted, the verification process typically takes 24–48 hours to complete.	DNA Funded applies full KYC for larger withdrawals, requiring a government-issued photo ID, proof of address and a selfie or likeness check through its third-party verification provider.KYC is typically required once withdrawals exceed about $1,000, and failed or unverifiable KYC will result in account closure without refund, as decisions from the external provider cannot be manually overridden.	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.
