Risk Guide

With BrightFunded's $50,000 account, your daily loss limit is exactly $2,500 (5%). This means at 1% risk ($500 per trade), you can sustain exactly 5 losing trades before hitting the daily limit. At 2% risk ($1,000 per trade), you're out after just 2.5 trades - so essentially 2 losses puts you dangerously close. The killer scenario here is gap risk or news spikes. If you're holding 2% positions overnight and wake up to a 150-pip gap against you, you could easily lose $3,000+ on EURUSD, instantly breaching both your daily limit and seriously damaging your $5,000 max drawdown buffer. For position sizing math: On EURUSD with a 30-pip stop, 1% risk ($500) = 1.67 standard lots. With a 50-pip stop, that drops to 1.0 standard lot. For GBPJPY's wider spreads and volatility, a 40-pip stop at 1% risk gives you roughly 1.25 standard lots. Gold with a $20 stop lets you trade about 2.5 standard lots at 1% risk. Here's what changes between phases: Phase 1 requires hitting $4,000 profit (8%) while respecting the same $2,500 daily loss and $5,000 max drawdown. Phase 2 drops the profit target to just $2,500 (5%), making it easier to complete. The loss limits remain identical throughout. The math reality: if you're consistently risking 1% and winning 60% of trades with a 1.5:1 reward ratio, you'll average about $100 profit per day. That means roughly 40 trading days to complete Phase 1, assuming you don't hit any significant drawdown periods. Risk 2% and you could cut that to 20 days - but you're dancing much closer to that daily loss cliff.
