Risk Guide

On BrightFunded's $25k account, you can lose $1,250 in a single day before being eliminated. This means exactly 5 losing trades at 1% risk ($250 each) or just 2.5 trades at 2% risk ($500 each) will breach your daily limit. The math is unforgiving - there's no room for revenge trading or oversized positions. For position sizing, use this formula: Risk Amount ÷ Stop Loss = Position Size. With a $250 risk (1% of $25k) and 30-pip stop on EURUSD, you get $250 ÷ 30 = $8.33 per pip, which equals 0.83 lots. On indices like NAS100 where each point might be worth $1, your 30-point stop allows 8.3 contracts. The real danger with this account size isn't the 10% max drawdown ($2,500) - it's the daily limit. You could theoretically lose $1,249 daily for two days and still be trading, but one $1,251 loss ends everything immediately. Your position sizes stay identical between Phase 1 (8% target, $2,000) and Phase 2 (5% target, $1,250) because the daily loss limit never changes. Risk management becomes even more critical in Phase 2 since you're closer to funded status. Many traders increase position sizes after passing Phase 1, but the $1,250 daily limit remains your primary constraint. At 1% risk, you need 8 consecutive wins to pass Phase 1, and 5 wins for Phase 2. At 2% risk, you need 4 wins for Phase 1 and 3 for Phase 2, but you're walking a tightrope with only 2 losing trades available before daily elimination. The key insight: this isn't about the $62 challenge cost - it's about respecting that $1,250 daily limit that has eliminated more traders than any other rule.
