BrightFunded Launches Futures: Two One-Phase Plans, No Daily Loss Limit, US Traders Accepted

What happened

BrightFunded, until now a forex and crypto CFD prop firm, has launched a futures program. "@BF_Futures is now LIVE!" the firm posted on X (opens in new tab) on 26 October 2026 (4:01 PM Israel time), with 50% off during launch week, ending 1 November.

The futures side is run by a separate company. BrightFunded's futures page (opens in new tab) says the futures evaluations are offered solely by BrightFunded LLC, a Wyoming company with a business address in Austin, Texas, and its help center (opens in new tab) says US traders are accepted. 55 countries are restricted, including Turkey, Ukraine, Pakistan, Vietnam and Indonesia.

The terms

There are two one-phase plans, BrightPlus and BrightCore, each in four sizes. From BrightFunded's BrightPlus (opens in new tab) and BrightCore (opens in new tab) guides:

These are list prices before the launch discount. Both plans share:

• Profit target: 6%, one phase, no time limit, no minimum days
• No daily loss limit. The trailing max loss is the only loss rule
• One-time fee, no activation fee, no monthly subscription
• Platforms: NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView included
• Profit split: 80%, or 100% with an add-on (+20% of the price)
• Minimum payout: $250
• Funded accounts: up to 5 at once, $750,000 total allocation
• No consistency rule once funded

How they differ. BrightPlus trails the max loss intraday on equity, including open profit, has a 50% consistency rule in the evaluation, and offers daily payouts: one approved request per trading day once your balance is above a buffer of starting balance + max loss + $100 ($52,100 on a $50K account), then 1% fresh profit before each next request. BrightCore trails end of day on the closing balance, has a stricter 40% consistency rule, and pays after 5 winning days ($100 to $300 net each, by size), or 3 with a +20% add-on.

Traders with 5 payouts on one account, 10 across accounts or 20% profit on one account become eligible for a Prime Program invite to a live CME account that starts at $0. BrightFunded's risk team decides who gets one.

The catches

The payout caps are small next to the targets. A $50K account caps each request at $2,000, and the 2x Payout Cap add-on costs another 40% of the price. On BrightCore you can also take no more than 50% of your current profit per request, so the doubled cap only helps once your profit is at least twice the cap.

BrightPlus trails on open profit. A trade that runs up and comes back still lifts your floor. On a $50K account, equity touching $51,500 moves the floor to $49,500 even if you close at $50,800. The floor locks at starting balance + $100 once equity reaches the buffer.

Every position closes at 4:45 PM ET. You cannot hold overnight or over the weekend. Hedging is banned, and more than half of your winning profit must come from trades held longer than 15 seconds, both to pass and to get paid.

The add-ons stack. A BrightCore $50K with 100% split, 2x cap and the 3-day cycle lists at $342, up from $190. Resets are 45% off the full list price, add-ons included.

Check the firm, too. Our BrightFunded profile notes that Trustpilot suspended BrightFunded's rating after removing reviews it judged fake, and that some traders report accounts closed by the risk team after payouts, citing hedging rules. Those notes are about the CFD business; the futures program has no track record yet.

Bottom line

BrightFunded Futures is a straightforward one-phase product with no daily loss limit, no activation fee and US access, from a firm that until now sold only CFD challenges. The trade-off is in the payouts: low per-request caps, an 80% default split, and on BrightPlus a floor that follows your open profit. If you want it at the launch price, the 50% discount ends 1 November; read the plan guide for your size before you buy.
