BrightFunded 2-Step Classic $100KBefore each trade
BrightFunded 2-Step Classic $100KYour real capital is $10,000, not $100,000: 10 losing trades in a row end your day, 20 end the account. Size every trade so a normal losing streak cannot reach those limits, and stop for the day before the firm stops you.
The loss side
your edge: +0.13R · $63 a trade on averageYour own limits stop you first: after 2 losses in a row, or 5 losses ($2,500).
From the starting balance, on a static floor.
Over a typical run of 197 trades at a 55% loss rate, a losing streak of 8 or more happens in 52% of runs and one of 11 or more in 11%. The account ends at 20 losses in a row.
| Losses in a row | All lose next | In a day | In 100 trades | In a typical run |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 · Your stopends the day by your choice | 30% | 44% | 100% | 100% |

| 20 · Max drawdownthe account is lost | 1 in 155,864 | — | 1 in 4,213 | 1 in 1,933 |
“All lose next” is the chance that the coming trades are all losers. The other three columns are the chance that such a streak happens at least once: in a day of 3 trades, in 100 trades, and in a typical run of 197 trades (the simulation's median), the streak that ends accounts. All are exact, from your win rate.

Consistency
10,000 simulated challenges with your numbers
same seed every timeAssumes a fixed stop (−$500) and target (+$750), independent trades at a 45% win rate, the same size every trade, $0 of costs a trade, no slippage; BrightFunded's rules as published, checked Oct 1, 2026.
What this does not model
Variable R (stops and targets that move) · partial exits · news gaps · slippage · correlated trades · the firm's discretion · taxes.
The same strategy copied onto several accounts shares one outcome: they pass or fail together, so the odds above do not improve. Trading opposite sides across accounts to push one through (“hedged passing”) is prohibited by the firms that state a rule on it, and this planner never suggests it.
These figures treat each account as its own attempt, the best case, with the chance of one attempt from the simulation above. Each account is bought once: resets are not counted.
Left out of this run: the fee after passing (it is not in the cost to pass). Other rules (news trading, time limits, a minimum profit for a day to count, scaling) are not simulated: read the firm's own page.
After you pass

The same trades, sized four ways. Half size when the floor gets close is the most common advice: it trades a little speed for fewer lost accounts. The best figure of each column is in accent.

Rushing sizes each trade so an average day makes the first target in one session ($10,000 in 3 trades, capped here at your whole drawdown: one loss ends the account). This account needs 5 trading days anyway. Same win rate, same reward: only the size and the limits change.
Kelly and the risk of ruin
what the formulas sayKelly = win rate − loss rate ÷ reward = 0.45 − 0.55 ÷ 1.5 = 8.3% a trade, applied here to your real capital, the $10,000 drawdown. Full Kelly grows fastest with deep swings on the way; most traders use a quarter to a half of it. You are at 0.6 Kelly: above half, losing runs get long.
The chance a losing run eats the whole drawdown (20 losses of room) if you traded these numbers without end, on one account.
The real figure for this account: its daily limit, its 2 phases (each a fresh drawdown) and its targets included.
Risk of ruin ≈ e^(−r × U), where U is the losses of room (the drawdown ÷ the risk of one trade) and r solves p · e^(−r × reward) + q · e^(r) = 1 (p the win rate, q the loss rate). Kelly and ruin assume trades of the same size, one after another.

Each run trades your numbers under the account's rules: its daily loss limit, its max drawdown (static, trailing, end of day or locking at the starting balance as the firm states it), its targets, its minimum days and its consistency rule, and under your own limits. A rule the firm does not publish is left out and named. Rules of the accounts are data of Oct 5, 2026. A calculation, not a promise. Check your own days in the consistency calculator
BrightFunded risk questions, answered from its rules
How much should I risk per trade on BrightFunded's $100K account?
Risk a share of the $10,000 max drawdown, not of the $100K: that $10,000 is what the BrightFunded 2-Step Classic $100K can lose before it ends, so it is your real capital. At 5% of it a trade risks $500 (0.5% of the account); 2.5% is $250 and 10% is $1,000. With a 45% win rate and rewards of 1.5R, 76% of 10,000 simulated runs reach the target and 5% lose the account. A calculation, not a promise.
How many losing trades in a row end the day or the account on BrightFunded's $100K account?
At 5% of the drawdown a trade ($500), 10 losses in a row reach the $5,000 daily loss limit and 20 reach the $10,000 max drawdown. From the starting balance, on a static floor. Over a typical run of 197 trades at a 55% loss rate, a losing streak of 8 or more happens in 52% of runs and one of 11 or more in 11%; a streak of 20 has a 1 in 1,933 chance of happening in such a run.
Does BrightFunded have a time limit or a consistency rule on the $100K account?
BrightFunded states no time limit for the BrightFunded 2-Step Classic $100K. There is no consistency rule. At least 5 trading days are required in each phase.
What does BrightFunded's $100K account cost to get funded, with retries?
The BrightFunded 2-Step Classic $100K costs $564.34 (list price · €497 in euros). The fee after passing is not published. At the opening plan (5% of the drawdown a trade, 45% wins, 1.5R), 76% of attempts reach the target: 1.3 accounts bought per pass. Counting each retry at $564.34 (retries at the full price), the expected cost is $741, and $1,129 covers 2 attempts, enough to be funded nine times in ten.
