BrightFunded has launched its futures program with two one-phase evaluations: BrightPlus and BrightCore.

Both plans are live on the firm’s futures page. They share a 6% profit target, no daily loss limit and no time limit to pass. Account sizes run from $25,000 to $150,000. The firm is running a launch offer of 50% off with code BRIGHTFUTURES, which drops the 25K BrightPlus to $60 and the 25K BrightCore to $65.

BrightPlus uses an intraday, real-time drawdown that follows peak equity including open profit. It allows daily payouts once a buffer equal to the Max Loss Limit plus $100 is built. Evaluation consistency limits the best session to 50% of total net profit. BrightCore updates drawdown from the highest closing balance (end of day) while still monitoring equity during the session. It requires five winning days for payouts (or three with an add-on) and has no buffer. Evaluation consistency is 40%. Positions on both close automatically at 4:45 PM New York time. News trading is allowed.

The firm previously announced a futures waitlist in mid-October. The plans are now available for purchase. Platforms include NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView according to coverage of the launch.

For traders looking at daily payout options, BrightPlus sits alongside other firms that have added faster withdrawal paths this year. The real-time drawdown is tighter during the day than an end-of-day model. BrightCore gives more room inside the session at the cost of a slower payout rhythm. Neither plan carries a funded-stage consistency rule according to the comparison table on the site.

Our Take: The launch is straightforward. Two clear models, one-time fees, and a launch discount that actually moves the entry price. BrightPlus will appeal to traders who want daily withdrawals and can live with an intraday trailing drawdown. BrightCore is the more conventional end-of-day path. Check the exact buffer and winning-day rules on the firm’s page before you buy, and treat the 50% off as a limited launch deal rather than a permanent price.

I’ve been trading for over 5 years, mainly across Indian markets, futures, forex, crypto, and CFDs. Over the years, I’ve traded with a lot of different brokers and prop firms and spent a huge amount of time testing their rules, platforms, pricing, drawdown models, payout systems, and trading conditions.

I’ve been through plenty of failed prop firm challenges myself before eventually figuring out what works for me. That experience has given me a pretty practical understanding of what traders actually deal with when choosing a prop firm or trading platform.

Outside of trading, I work with financial content, SEO, and WordPress. I’ve built websites and tools around trading and finance, tested a wide range of trading tools, and even modified Pine Script indicators on TradingView as a hobby.

I write about prop firms, brokers, crypto platforms, and trading tools with a focus on the things that actually matter to traders, including rules, costs, payouts, and the overall trading experience.
