BrightCore has four account sizes: $25K, $50K, $100K and $150K. This page has every BrightCore number in one place.
Main numbers by size
Size | Profit target (6%) | Max Loss Limit | Starting floor | Max contracts |
$25K | $1,500 | $1,000 | $24,000 | 2 minis or 20 micros |
$50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | $48,000 | 4 minis or 40 micros |
$100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | $97,000 | 8 minis or 80 micros |
$150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | $145,500 | 12 minis or 120 micros |
How to read it: the starting floor is your starting balance minus the Max Loss Limit. On a $50K account, $50,000 − $2,000 = $48,000. Micros are always 10 times the minis, and 1 mini equals 10 micros. The contract limit is combined, so on a $50K account the limit is 4 minis or 40 micros, counted together.
Payout numbers by size
Size | Payout cap | Cap with 2x addon | Minimum request | Profit split |
$25K | $1,000 | $2,000 | $250 | 80% (100% with addon) |
$50K | $2,000 | $4,000 | $250 | 80% (100% with addon) |
$100K | $3,000 | $6,000 | $250 | 80% (100% with addon) |
$150K | $4,000 | $8,000 | $250 | 80% (100% with addon) |
How much can I request? The payout cap is the main limit. You can also request at most 50% of the current profit of your account (your balance minus your starting balance). The maximum you can request is the lowest of the payout cap (doubled with the 2x addon), 50% of the current profit, and your balance minus (starting balance + $100).
Example: $100K account, balance $104,000. Profit is $4,000, so 50% is $2,000. The cap is $3,000. You can request up to $2,000. With the 2x Payout Cap addon the cap is $6,000, but 50% of the profit is still $2,000, so you can still request up to $2,000.
Winning day numbers
Size | Winning day (net profit) | Locked floor | Balance for a full-cap request | Balance for a full-cap request with 2x Payout Cap addon |
$25K | $100+ | $25,100 | $27,000 | $29,000 |
$50K | $200+ | $50,100 | $54,000 | $58,000 |
$100K | $300+ | $100,100 | $106,000 | $112,000 |
$150K | $300+ | $150,100 | $158,000 | $166,000 |
You need 5 winning days since your last approved payout, or 3 with the 3 Day Payout Cycle addon. The balance must stay at or above starting balance + $100 after the payout. A full-cap request needs profit of at least 2 times the cap (because you can request at most 50% of the current profit), so the balance for a full-cap request is the starting balance + 2 times the payout cap, or + 2 times the doubled cap with the 2x Payout Cap addon. This is higher than starting balance + $100 + the cap, so it is the number that counts.
Consistency Rule: the largest best day that still passes
This applies in the Evaluation only. On BrightCore, your best trading day can be at most 40% of your total net profit. If you stop exactly at the profit target, this is the biggest single trading day you can have and still pass.
Size | Profit target (6%) | Largest best day (40%) |
$25K | $1,500 | $600 |
$50K | $3,000 | $1,200 |
$100K | $6,000 | $2,400 |
$150K | $9,000 | $3,600 |
Example: on a $50K account, if you finish with exactly $3,000 of profit, your best day can be at most $1,200 (40%). If you make more profit than the target, the allowed best day grows with it.
