News Trading

• Evaluation Accounts: There are no restrictions related to high-impact news releases.
• Funded Accounts: Trading is not allowed within the 5 minutes before or after major news events. Any profit generated during this 10-minute window will be removed. This is treated as a soft violation and does not result in losing the account.

Copy Trading

Copy trading is permitted only between accounts that belong to you, whether they are with BrightFunded, other prop firms, or retail brokers. Replicating trades across accounts owned by different individuals is strictly forbidden.

30 Days Inactivity Rule

You must execute at least one trade every 30 days; otherwise, the account will be deactivated. If it isn’t restored through support within six months, it will be permanently terminated.

Minimum Trading Days

• Evaluation Stages: Each phase must include at least 5 individual trading days.
• Funded Stage: No minimum trading day requirement applies.

Bots

Bots are permitted, provided their operation complies with all trading rules and platform requirements.

IP / VPN / VPS Policy

Using a VPN or accessing the platform from different IP addresses is permitted, especially when traveling. However, only the rightful account owner is allowed to trade—account sharing is strictly prohibited.

Restricted Trading Methods

• High-frequency tactics such as HFT or tick-scalping.
• Arbitrage approaches or grid-based strategies.
• Any form of hedging across the same or correlated instruments.
• Manipulating multiple accounts in coordination or engaging in one-sided, high-risk position stacking, including overexposure, excessive leverage, or rolling losses into new accounts.
• Taking advantage of technical glitches, delayed price feeds, or external data sources not aligned with the platform.
• Using automated systems, AI-driven tools, or ultra-fast execution software that violates platform standards.
• Breaching the rules or terms set by the broker, liquidity provider, or the platform itself.

Payout Policy

• Withdrawal Timing: The first profit withdrawal becomes available 30 days after your initial trade. After that, payouts can be requested every 14 days — or even every 7 days if the corresponding add-on is activated.
• Profit Share: Traders receive an 80% share by default, which can be upgraded to 90% through an add-on. Upon reaching the scaling milestones, the share increases to 100%.

Supported Withdrawal Methods

– Cryptocurrency via USDC on the ERC-20 network – Bank transfers in euros (€)

• Minimum Withdrawal Threshold: There is no minimum amount required to request a payout.

Scaling Plan

• Evaluation Period: The account is reviewed across the first four consecutive months starting from the date of the initial trade.
• Profit Requirement: At least two of those four months must be profitable, with a combined gain of no less than 10%.
• Payout Requirement: You must have successfully completed a minimum of two profit withdrawals before scaling is considered.
• Balance Condition: The account must not be in a loss at the time of evaluation — it must be either break-even or in profit.
• Scaling Increase: Each time the criteria are met, the account size is boosted by 30% of its original starting balance.
• No Limit on Growth: Scaling can occur repeatedly without any maximum ceiling, provided performance requirements continue to be achieved.
• Additional Advantage: Beginning with the third scaling step, traders earn the full 100% share of all profits.
