| Risk & Drawdown Rules | |||
| Max Daily Loss | Maximum Daily LossFFF’s futures programs are designed around a trailing max drawdown and contract-sizing rules rather than a separate daily loss limit.For S2F accounts, the published Daily Loss Limit is None across $50k, $100k, and $150k account sizes. | 5 | Maximum Daily LossCrypto Fund Trader calculates daily drawdown based on equity. For standard evaluations, the daily maximum loss is measured from the starting balance at 12:05 AM UTC. CFT lists the default daily limits as 5% on 2-phase evaluations and 4% on 1-phase evaluations.Add-ons may modify certain limits (for example, a 2-phase add-on that increases daily drawdown to 6%). Ascend also adds a specific news window risk constraint (see “News Trading”). |
| Max Total Loss | Maximum Overall LossFFF enforces maximum loss through a trailing max drawdown model whose calculation mode depends on the plan type.S2F trailing max drawdown (published): $2,000 on $50k; $3,000 on $100k; $4,500 on $150k (drawdown mode: End of Day).FFF also states that evaluation plans include both End-of-Day drawdown (Premiere/Classic) and intraday trailing drawdown (Elite), so traders should choose the model that best fits their risk style. | 10 | Maximum Overall LossCFT’s standard evaluation structures use different overall loss models:2-Phase: maximum loss is typically fixed at 10% of initial balance.1-Phase: a 6% trailing drawdown applies (equity-based), and once the account exceeds +6% profit, the trailing line locks at the initial balance instead of continuing to trail upward.3-Phase (if selected): CFT states a 5% fixed maximum loss with a 5% daily max loss.Add-ons may increase max loss limits (e.g., a 2-phase add-on raising max loss to 12%). |
| Drawdown Type | Drawdown ModelEnd-of-Day (EOD) drawdown: drawdown is assessed using end-of-day account values (used in Premiere/Classic evaluations; also shown for S2F account structures).Intraday trailing drawdown: drawdown trails equity highs intraday (used in Elite evaluations). | 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 ModelCrypto Fund Trader’s drawdown enforcement is primarily equity-based. The daily loss limit resets using the account’s starting balance at 12:05 AM UTC. For overall drawdown, CFT uses static/fixed overall loss on 2-phase challenges (e.g., 10% of initial) and a trailing model on 1-phase challenges (6% trailing that later locks at the initial balance after +6% gain).Accounts that breach max daily, max overall, or trailing drawdown are deactivated and the trader is notified by email. |
| Payouts | |||
| Payout Frequency | Payout FrequencyPayouts become requestable once the trader meets eligibility requirements (including 7 qualifying $200+ profit days and applicable consistency/buffer rules). Requests can be submitted as soon as eligible.Approved payout requests are processed on Tuesdays and Fridays (with cut-off times for each batch). | 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 FrequencyIn the final-stage simulation, scholarship requests can be made after at least 15 trading days, or alternatively every 30 calendar days (if rules were not violated). Certain program variants (e.g., 3-phase rules) note a first request possible after 5 trading days, and an add-on may allow eligibility after 7 active trading days.For Instant accounts, CFT also supports a scale milestone: once the account reaches +10% profit, traders can request a “Withdrawal & Update” to both withdraw and double the account size. |
| Days to First Payout | 7 | 30 | 15 |
| Payout Processing Time | Payout ProcessingPayouts are delivered through Rise. After approval, traders receive an invite, complete Rise onboarding/KYC, and then sign the contractor documentation; payouts are sent after that step.Typical Rise timeframes: bank transfer/wire often 1–3 business days; crypto often same day to ~24 hours (network-dependent). | 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 ProcessingCFT states that once a scholarship is requested, its team verifies the information and sends payment within 48 business hours. After the payment is sent, CFT states the user receives the scholarship in no more than 24 hours (timing depends on the payment rail). |

| Payments | |||
| Payment Methods | Credit/Debit Card | Credit/Debit Card Crypto | Credit/Debit Card Crypto (11 supported currencies) |
| Trading Permissions | |||
| News Trading | FFF publishes a dedicated News Trading Policy in its help center; traders should follow that policy for their specific account type (evaluation, simulated funded, or live). | 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 CFT evaluations according to its FAQ. For Ascend evaluations, CFT adds a news-window constraint: within 2 minutes before and after high-impact news or market opening, accounts must not open/add positions or raise maximum theoretical loss above 2% of initial balance. |
| Weekend Trades | Weekend trading is generally not applicable for CME-style futures because markets are closed during the weekend maintenance window; trading is only possible during the exchange’s open sessions. Positions must comply with the product’s trading hours. | 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/overnight holding is generally allowed (CFT states it accepts swing trading strategies and keeping trades open over the weekend). Market availability still follows instrument schedules: crypto trades 24/7 while forex is typically Monday–Friday and other CFDs follow their own market hours. |
| Copy Trading | FFF’s public materials emphasize that accounts are for the account holder’s own use. Any copying/account-management behavior should remain consistent with FFF’s fair-use/prohibited-conduct framework and must not involve third-party account management. | 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. | CFT does not present a simple “copy trading allowed” rule in its public FAQ. However, it explicitly restricts multi-account coordination through rules such as the reverse trading/hedging constraints, and it states that copy trading between Ascend accounts is prohibited (including coordinated or mirrored behaviour that cannot be attributed to chance). |
| EA Allowed | Automation can be implemented via supported platforms (e.g., NinjaTrader tools or TradingView-based execution flows), but traders remain responsible for compliance with all rules, including position sizing, consistency, and prohibited conduct. | Expert Advisors (EAs) are allowed, provided all activity remains compliant with BrightFunded’s daily/maximum loss rules and non-authorized-practices policies. | Automation is partially supported: CFT lists categories of prohibited EA types (notably HFT, tick scalping, arbitrage and demo-environment exploitation). EAs that do not fall into these categories are not explicitly banned in the FAQ, but traders remain responsible for ensuring automation complies with all rules. |
| KYC & Restrictions | |||
| KYC Required | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| KYC Stage | KYC is required through Rise before the first payout is sent (Rise onboarding/identity verification as part of contractor setup). | 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 the scholarship/withdrawal workflow. After a scholarship request is submitted in the dashboard, CFT states the trader receives a contract to sign and a KYC to complete before funds are sent. (Bybit evaluations may additionally be subject to Bybit’s own KYC rules, which are the trader’s responsibility.) |
| Restricted Countries | Afghanistan Albania Algeria Angola Belarus Bosnia and Herzegovina Burkina Faso (Upper Volta) Burma/Myanmar Burundi Central African Republic Chad Chinese Military Companies Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) Crimea (Region of Ukraine - Crimea Donetsk Luhansk Kherson Zaporizhzhia) Cuba Democratic Republic of Congo Ethiopia Iran Iraq Jamaica Kosovo Lebanon Liberia Libya Mali Monaco Morocco Montenegro Mozambique Namibia Nicaragua North Korea North Macedonia Puerto Rico Russia Senegal Somalia South Sudan Sudan and Darfur Syria Tanzania Trinidad and Tobago Ukraine Venezuela Vietnam Yemen Zimbabwe | Cuba Iran North Korea Syria Vietnam | Match Trader: No country restrictions; MT5: Not available to users residing in the United States; Bybit: subject to Bybit jurisdiction/ToS restrictions (CFT itself does not impose additional country restrictions for Bybit evaluations). |
