Simulated results
Three trader profiles, 10,000 simulated evaluations each against BrightFunded's exact rules. Pass rate is the eval only. Payout is conditional on passing. Joint withdrawal is the probability of reaching a first payout end-to-end. P&L is expected value over 50 attempted challenges at the mid-tier account.
Why traders fail this challenge
Failure breakdown from the balanced-archetype simulation. This is what typically ends a BrightFunded run — not what traders think ends it.
Rules explained
How BrightFunded's drawdown works
BrightFunded uses a static drawdown of 10% of the starting balance. Static drawdown is the friendliest structure — the floor doesn't move as you profit. See trailing drawdown explained for the full mechanics.
How the daily loss limit is calculated
BrightFunded caps intraday drawdown at 5% of the account. It's evaluated end-of-day on realised P&L, and a single losing session over the cap ends the challenge — not just the day.
Consistency rule
BrightFunded has no consistency rule on the standard evaluation. See the consistency rule explained for the full mechanics and how it changes your real pass rate.
Is BrightFunded worth it?
BrightFunded's two-phase Trade to Earn model is closer to a traditional FTMO clone with generous holding rules. Split is competitive at 80%. Track record is younger than the incumbent leaders.
Frequently asked
What is BrightFunded's trailing drawdown?+
BrightFunded uses a static drawdown of 10% of the starting balance. This is the single biggest driver of long-run pass rate for most traders.
What win rate do you need to pass BrightFunded?+
Not a fixed number. Our simulator runs three archetypes against BrightFunded's exact rules: the balanced 50%-win-rate trader passes 25.0% of the time; the scalper archetype and swing archetype produce meaningfully different numbers on the firm page above. Passing is a function of edge, variance, and how the ruleset punishes lumpy P&L — not win rate in isolation.
How much does BrightFunded cost long-term?+
The mid-tier BrightFunded evaluation is $260. Over 50 attempted challenges, our balanced-archetype simulation nets -$7k — that's eval fees paid on failures netted against payouts collected on the joint 13.6% of runs that reach a withdrawal.
Does BrightFunded have a consistency rule?+
No consistency rule on the evaluation. Verify current terms — firms add and remove these rules regularly.
Is BrightFunded worth it in 2026?+
BrightFunded's two-phase Trade to Earn model is closer to a traditional FTMO clone with generous holding rules. Split is competitive at 80%. Track record is younger than the incumbent leaders.
