On BrightCore, payouts are unlocked by winning days. You need 5 winning days since your last approved payout, or 3 with the 3 Day Payout Cycle addon. This article explains what counts and shows examples.
What is a winning day?
A winning day is a trading day (6:00 PM ET to 5:00 PM ET) with net profit from closed trades of at least the amount for your size:
Size | A winning day needs |
$25K | $100 or more net |
$50K | $200 or more net |
$100K | $300 or more net |
$150K | $300 or more net |
Net means after commissions, from closed trades.
Only one winning day per trading day counts, no matter how big the profit.
Days with a smaller profit do not count at all. They do not count as half a day.
Example: counting winning days ($50K)
A winning day on $50K needs $200 or more.
Trading day | Net profit | Counts? | Winning days so far |
Day 1 | +$260 | Yes | 1 |
Day 2 | +$150 | No, below $200 | 1 |
Day 3 | +$310 | Yes | 2 |
Day 4 | −$120 | No | 2 |
Day 5 | +$200 | Yes, exactly $200 | 3 |
Day 6 | +$480 | Yes | 4 |
Day 7 | +$90 | No | 4 |
Day 8 | +$205 | Yes | 5 |
👉 You reach 5 winning days on Day 8. With the 3 Day Payout Cycle addon you would reach 3 winning days on Day 5.
How much can I request?
Up to the payout cap of your size. The cap is the main limit.
Also at most 50% of the current profit of your account. Current profit is your balance minus your starting balance.
Your balance must stay at or above starting balance + $100.
There is no buffer on BrightCore.
The Minimum Trade Duration must be met.
The maximum you can request is the lowest of these limits. The minimum request is $250. Profit you do not withdraw stays in the account and can be requested in later payouts.
Example: a $50K account
You completed 5 winning days and your balance is $53,000. Your profit is $3,000, so 50% is $1,500. The cap is $2,000, and $53,000 − $50,100 = $2,900.
👉 The lowest limit is $1,500. You can request up to $1,500 and receive $1,200 (or $1,500 with the 100% Profit Split addon).
With the 2x Payout Cap addon the cap is $4,000, but the 50% limit is still $1,500, so the maximum stays the same.
Smaller balance: with a balance of $50,600, your profit is $600, so 50% is $300. You have $500 above $50,100. You can request up to $300 and receive $240.
Example: a $100K account
You completed 5 winning days and your balance is $104,000. Your profit is $4,000, so 50% is $2,000. The cap is $3,000, and $104,000 − $100,100 = $3,900.
👉 The lowest limit is $2,000. You can request up to $2,000 and receive $1,600.
With the 2x Payout Cap addon the cap is $6,000, but the 50% limit is still $2,000, so the maximum stays the same.
After a payout
After each approved payout, the count goes back to zero and starts again from the next full trading day. The Minimum Trade Duration also only counts what happened after your last approved payout.
