Addons
Addons are optional and you choose them at checkout. Each addon adds a percentage of the plan price, and several addons add up. BrightCore has 3 addons.
Addon | Adds | What it does |
100% Profit Split | +20% | You keep 100% of each payout instead of 80% |
2x Payout Cap | +40% | Doubles the payout cap per request |
3 Day Payout Cycle | +20% | You need only 3 winning days instead of 5 between payouts |
100% Profit Split
By default you receive 80% of the amount you request. With this addon you receive 100%. The full requested amount always comes off your balance.
Size | Payout cap (standard) | You receive at 80% of the cap | You receive at 100% of the cap |
$25K | $1,000 | $800 | $1,000 |
$50K | $2,000 | $1,600 | $2,000 |
$100K | $3,000 | $2,400 | $3,000 |
$150K | $4,000 | $3,200 | $4,000 |
The table shows a request equal to the full payout cap. Your real maximum can be lower: see 2x Payout Cap below.
2x Payout Cap
The payout cap is the main limit on how much you can request in one payout. This addon doubles it. Profit you do not withdraw stays in your account and you can request it in later payouts.
Size | Standard cap | With 2x Payout Cap | You receive at 80% | You receive at 100% |
$25K | $1,000 | $2,000 | $1,600 | $2,000 |
$50K | $2,000 | $4,000 | $3,200 | $4,000 |
$100K | $3,000 | $6,000 | $4,800 | $6,000 |
$150K | $4,000 | $8,000 | $6,400 | $8,000 |
👉 The cap is only the ceiling. You can only request what your account allows. On BrightCore, the maximum is the lowest of: the payout cap, balance minus (starting balance + $100), and 50% of your current profit (your balance minus your starting balance). To request the full doubled cap, your current profit must be at least twice that cap (for example $8,000 on a $50K account). The minimum request is still $250.
3 Day Payout Cycle
On BrightCore you normally need 5 winning days since your last approved payout. With this addon you need only 3. A winning day is still a trading day with net profit from closed trades of at least $100 (25K), $200 (50K), $300 (100K) or $300 (150K). It changes how soon you can request, not how much you can request.
Your total price with addons
Size | No addons | 100% Profit Split (+20%) | 3 Day Payout Cycle (+20%) | 2x Payout Cap (+40%) | All three (+80%) |
$25K | $130.00 | $156.00 | $156.00 | $182.00 | $234.00 |
$50K | $190.00 | $228.00 | $228.00 | $266.00 | $342.00 |
$100K | $340.00 | $408.00 | $408.00 | $476.00 | $612.00 |
$150K | $460.00 | $552.00 | $552.00 | $644.00 | $828.00 |
For any other mix, add the percentages of the addons you choose to the plan price. For example, 100% Profit Split + 3 Day Payout Cycle is +40%, and 100% Profit Split + 2x Payout Cap is +60%.
Example: BrightCore $50K with all three addons costs $190 + 80% = $342.00. The checkout always shows your final price before you pay.
Which addons should I choose?
Addons change how your payouts work. They do not change the trading rules or the Max Loss Limit.
100% Profit Split (+20%): you receive 100% of each amount you request instead of 80%. It applies to every payout, so it matters more the more you request.
2x Payout Cap (+40%): it doubles the payout cap, from $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,000 to $2,000 / $4,000 / $6,000 / $8,000. It helps when both your balance above starting balance + $100 and 50% of your current profit are often bigger than the standard cap. If they are rarely bigger, the standard cap already covers it.
3 Day Payout Cycle (+20%): you need 3 winning days between payouts instead of 5. It changes how soon you can request, not how much you can request.
All three together (+80%): you request sooner, you can request more per payout when your account allows it and you receive 100% of it.
Example: BrightCore $50K ($190), balance $53,000
$53,000 minus $50,100 = $2,900 available. Your profit is $3,000, so 50% of your profit is $1,500. This is lower than the $2,000 cap.
No addons ($190.00): after 5 winning days, you request $1,500 and receive $1,200.
100% Profit Split ($190 + 20% = $228.00): after 5 winning days, you request $1,500 and receive $1,500.
2x Payout Cap ($190 + 40% = $266.00): after 5 winning days, the cap is $4,000, but 50% of your profit is still $1,500. You request $1,500 and receive $1,200.
3 Day Payout Cycle ($190 + 20% = $228.00): after 3 winning days, you request $1,500 and receive $1,200.
All three ($190 + 80% = $342.00): after 3 winning days, you request $1,500 and receive $1,500.
Addons are chosen when you buy the account. On a reset they stay exactly as they were, they are already included in the reset price, and nothing can be added or removed.
Addons and resets
You can reset an account that is already breached. The account you receive after a reset is always a Challenge. A reset keeps all the addons from your original purchase and they are already included in the reset price. You cannot add or remove addons on a reset.
There is a limited time to reset, so check the time left on your dashboard. Read How do resets work and how much do they cost?
How to pay
At checkout you can pay with Revolut, credit card, international card or crypto.
The card rule applies to credit cards, international cards and Revolut cards: any purchase paid by card must be made with a card in the profile holder's own name. Crypto is not a card payment. Read Payment methods and Paying with a credit card or any card: the cardholder must match your profile.
