BrightFunded: Maximum drawdown
▶BrightFunded Maximum Drawdown Rule Explained: The Trailing Trap — 42s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
2-Step Bright is 8% STATIC and 2-Step Classic is 10% STATIC (both fixed from the starting balance). The 1-Step uses a 6% TRAILING floor that follows your high-water mark until you're +6%, then locks at the original balance.
The gotcha
The 1-step's trailing drawdown is harsher early on — it follows your peak until the breakeven lock.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
