Side by side
| BrightCore | BrightPlus | |
|---|---|---|
| List price, $25K to $150K | $130 / $190 / $340 / $460 | $120 / $165 / $280 / $380 |
| With BRIGHTFUTURES | $78 / $114 / $204 / $276 | $72 / $99 / $168 / $228 |
| Drawdown follows | Your best daily close | Your best equity, in real time |
| Floor locks when funded | At the first approved payout | When equity reaches the buffer |
| Payouts | After 5 winning days | Up to one per trading day |
| Most you can request | Lowest of: cap, 50% of profit, balance above start + $100 | Balance above the buffer, up to the cap |
| Consistency in the evaluation | Best day at most 40% | Best day at most 50% |
| Fastest possible pass | 3 trading days | 2 trading days |
| Add-ons | 100% split, 2x cap, 3-day cycle | 100% split, 2x cap |
Same on both: 6% target, Max Loss Limit of $1,000 to $4,500, no daily loss limit, no time limit, 80% split, $250 minimum payout.
The same day on both plans
A $50K account starts with the floor at $48,000. You go up $1,200 during the session, give most of it back and close the day up $200.
| BrightCore | BrightPlus | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest point that counts | $50,200, the close | $51,200, the intraday peak |
| Floor after that day | $48,200 | $49,200 |
| Next day you dip to $49,100 | Still alive, $900 above the floor | Breached, $100 below the floor |
That is the whole difference in one picture. On BrightPlus unrealised profit you give back still pulls the floor up. On BrightCore only the closing balance does.
The same balance, two payouts
You are funded on $50K and the balance is $53,000.
- BrightPlus: the buffer is $52,100, so you can request $900 today and receive 80%, which is $720. Tomorrow you can ask again if you are above the buffer and have made $500 of fresh profit.
- BrightCore: you need 5 winning days of $200 or more first. Then the request is the lowest of three numbers: the $2,900 that sits above $50,100, the $2,000 cap, and half of your $3,000 profit. That is $1,500, and you receive $1,200.
BrightPlus pays sooner and in smaller pieces. BrightCore pays later and more at once. Details and caps by size: futures payouts.
Pick by how you trade
- You hold for hours and sit through pullbacks: BrightCore.
- You scalp and end most trades within minutes: BrightPlus.
- Your profit comes from one or two big days: BrightPlus, its 50% consistency limit is easier to meet.
- You want the lowest price: BrightPlus $25K.
- You want the floor to drop back after the first payout: BrightCore. It locks at start + $100 even if it had trailed higher.
Both plans end the same way if you break a hard rule. Read the rules first.
Questions traders ask
Is BrightCore or BrightPlus cheaper?
BrightPlus. List prices are $120, $165, $280 and $380 against $130, $190, $340 and $460 for BrightCore. With BRIGHTFUTURES (40% off, 13 Nov 2026) BrightPlus starts at $72 and BrightCore at $78.
Which plan is easier to pass?
BrightCore gives more room in the evaluation, because the floor only moves on the daily close. Its consistency rule is tighter, though: best day at most 40% of profit, against 50% on BrightPlus.
Which plan pays faster?
BrightPlus. It allows one approved payout per trading day once the balance is above the buffer. BrightCore pays after 5 winning days, or 3 with the paid add-on.
Can I switch plans later?
Not on the same account. A reset keeps the plan, the size and the add-ons you bought. To change plan you buy a new account.
Do both plans have the same contract limits?
Yes: 2, 4, 8 and 12 minis, or ten times as many micros, on $25K, $50K, $100K and $150K.
