Why can't I pass yet? Pending statuses

What to do when you reached the profit target but your Evaluation is still open: a checklist for each pending status.

If you reached the profit target but your Evaluation is still open, your account has not failed. It is waiting for the Consistency Rule or the Minimum Trade Duration to be met. The account keeps trading until it is compliant, and the dashboard shows a status such as "Pending, Trade Duration Not Met".

What to do in each case

The Consistency Rule is not met

  • Your best day is too large compared with your total profit.

  • 👉 Keep trading and add profit on other days. You need a total of at least best day × 2 on BrightPlus or best day × 2.5 on BrightCore.

  • Example, BrightCore $50K: best day $1,600 means you need a total of $4,000.

The Minimum Trade Duration is not met

  • Too much of your winning profit comes from trades held 15 seconds or less.

  • 👉 Make profit with trades held longer than 15 seconds until they are more than 50% of your winning profit.

  • Example: winning profit $1,200, of which $500 from trades over 15 seconds is 41.7%. You need more than $200 more profit from longer trades.

The dashboard shows "Not eligible"

  • Your total net profit is zero or negative, so the Consistency Rule cannot be calculated.

  • 👉 It changes as soon as your total profit is positive.

The dashboard shows N/A

  • You have no winning trades yet, so the Minimum Trade Duration cannot be calculated.


Important to remember

  • ✅ The Consistency Rule and the Minimum Trade Duration never fail your account. They only delay the pass.

  • ✅ Reaching the profit target is never a breach.

  • ⚠️ While you wait, the Max Loss Limit still applies. If your equity touches the floor, the account is breached, even after you reached the target.

  • ⚠️ Keep placing at least 1 new trade every 30 calendar days, so the account does not hit the inactivity rule.


Frequently asked questions

I reached the target. Why am I not funded?

Because the Consistency Rule or the Minimum Trade Duration is not met yet, or your KYC is not approved. The account stays open until it is compliant.


​

Can I still breach after reaching the target?

Does my account fail if I cannot meet these rules?

No. They never fail the account. You only keep trading until you comply.


​

I passed but I am still waiting.
