BrightFunded vs Funding Traders

Rules placed next to each other, with the calculation basis written out — because two firms quoting the same percentage can be measuring completely different things.

What differs most.

They calculate the daily loss limit from different reference points, so the percentages are not directly comparable.
One uses a Static floor maximum loss, the other Trailing, intraday.
BrightFunded has no consistency rule on this plan; Funding Traders does.

Account closed
Trading day over, account survives
Room to lose on day one
Profit still needed to pass phase one

Drawn to scale from each plan's own published numbers, on the plan compared in the table below. Day one is the only day on which every daily-loss basis agrees, which is what makes the two bars honestly comparable at all. On day one the account closes first at BrightFunded — its floor sits $2,000 above the floor at Funding Traders. The two daily-loss floors are measured from different reference points, so they only line up on day one. From day two they move apart. Funding Traders uses a trailing maximum-loss floor: the bar shows where it sits on day one, and it rises with your peak without ever coming back down.
