BrightFunded vs Top One Futures

Drawdown, the rule that ends most accounts

BFunded runs a Static drawdown and Top One runs EOD Trailing.

Trailing means the limit rises with your equity peak, open positions included: giving profit back can end the account even without a real loss. EOD only recalculates at the session close, which forgives intraday swings.

In practice that is -10% / -5% of room at BFunded and 4% trail at Top One.

What entry really costs

The cheapest entry is BFunded, from $34.30 with the coupon applied at checkout, against $39.00 at Top One.

The discount differs too: 10% OFF at BFunded and 55% OFF at Top One.

Add the activation fee at Top One before comparing: it is charged after you pass and never shows up in the evaluation price.

BFunded charges no activation fee, so the price you see is the full cost up to the funded account.

When the money leaves

On the split, BFunded pays 100% and Top One pays 90%.

Top One allows a payout from the first profitable day, which shortens the path between passing and getting paid.
