BrightLane Futures payouts
BrightFunded Futures payouts
The two futures plans pay in different rhythms. BrightPlus can pay every trading day once you clear a buffer; BrightCore pays after a run of winning days. Here are the caps, the worked examples and the live-account ladder that comes after.
- Cap $1,000 to $4,000
- Minimum $250
- 80% or 100% split
Facts checked 7 Nov 2026
The rule of thumb. On BrightPlus you can withdraw what sits above the buffer, up to the cap, every trading day. On BrightCore you can withdraw after 5 winning days, up to the cap and never more than half of your current profit. Numbers from BrightFunded's futures help centre, 7 Nov 2026.
Caps by account size
| Size | Payout cap | With 2x cap add-on | BrightPlus buffer | BrightCore winning day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,000 | $2,000 | $26,100 | $100+ net |
| $50K | $2,000 | $4,000 | $52,100 | $200+ net |
| $100K | $3,000 | $6,000 | $103,100 | $300+ net |
| $150K | $4,000 | $8,000 | $154,600 | $300+ net |
Minimum request $250. You receive 80% of what you request, or 100% with the add-on; the full amount comes off your balance either way.
BrightPlus: daily payouts above the buffer
- Clear the buffer. Starting balance + Max Loss Limit + $100: $52,100 on a $50K account.
- Request what is above it, up to the cap. Balance $55,000 on $50K: $2,900 is above the buffer, the cap is $2,000, so you can request $2,000 (all $2,900 with the 2x cap add-on).
- Make fresh profit before the next one: at most one approved payout per trading day.
BrightCore: winning days and half the profit
- Collect 5 winning days since your last approved payout (3 with the add-on). A winning day is a CME session with at least $200 net on a $50K account.
- Request the smallest of three numbers: the cap, 50% of your current profit, and what your balance holds above the starting balance plus $100.
- Example: $100K account at $104,000. Profit $4,000, half is $2,000, cap $3,000: you can request $2,000.
After SIM Funded: the Prime live account
Traders with a payout record can be invited by BrightFunded's Risk team to the Prime Program: a Live account with real CME capital that starts at $0. It pays 80%, daily, from $250, adds a cash bonus every 10 winning days (up to $10,000 on a 50K account, up to $150,000 across 5 accounts) and has no daily loss limit or consistency rule. It is earned, not bought.
Before you request
More than half of your winning profit must come from trades held longer than 15 seconds, or the request is blocked. Positions close automatically at 16:45 New York time (22:45 in Lagos in US winter), so there is nothing open overnight to worry about. Rules for passing in the first place: BrightCore vs BrightPlus.
