Brightfunded's scaling plan is a structured account growth program that increases your funded balance by 30% of the original account size every four months, with no upper limit and a path to keeping 100% of your profits.

Most prop firms cap your account or make you buy a bigger evaluation. Brightfunded doesn't. You pass once, prove consistency over four-month review periods, and your account keeps growing. The split improves as you scale, topping out at 100/0 on the third level.

I've dug through every detail of this system. The requirements are clear but strict, the timeline is long, and there are reset penalties if you slip. Here's how the whole thing works from the first funded trade to indefinite growth.

How Does the Brightfunded Scaling Plan Work?

As of April 2026, Brightfunded reviews your funded account performance every four consecutive months, counted from your first trade on the funded account. Each review window determines whether you qualify for the next scale-up level.

The scale-up amount is always 30% of your original account size. Not 30% of your current balance. Not 30% of your scaled balance. Thirty percent of whatever you started with. On a $100K account, that's $30K added per level. On a $50K account, that's $15K.

This is cumulative. First scale-up: +30%. Second: +60%. Third: +90%. And it keeps going from there, adding another 30% of the original size every time you qualify.

The profit split also improves as you level up. You start at the base split from your funded account (80/20 for most traders, or 90/10 if you purchased the profit split add-on). At the first scale-up, the split moves to 90/10. By the third scale-up, you hit 100/0.

One thing to understand: scaling is not automatic. Brightfunded doesn't just bump your account up after four months. You have to contact support, request the review, and they verify your performance against the requirements. If you forget to request it, nothing happens.

What Are the Requirements for Each Scale-Up?

Every four-month review period has the same four requirements. Miss any one of them and you don't qualify.

1. Profitable in at least 2 of the 4 months. Not all four. Just two. This is reasonable. You can have two losing months and still qualify, as long as the other two months covered it.

2. 10% total profit over the 4-month period. On a $100K account, that's $10,000 in net profit across the four months combined. On a $50K account, that's $5,000. This is measured from the beginning of the review period, not from your all-time starting balance.

3. At least 2 completed payouts during the period. You can't just accumulate profit and sit on it. Brightfunded wants to see that you're actively withdrawing. This ties into their payout cycle and means you need to actually request and complete at least two successful withdrawals.

4. Positive or breakeven balance at the time of the request. When you contact support to request the scale-up, your account can't be in the red. Doesn't need to be at the high-water mark. Just positive or flat.

These four conditions all have to be true simultaneously at the end of your four-month window. You don't get credit for meeting three out of four.

What Does Each Scale-Up Level Look Like?

The progression is linear. Every level adds the same flat amount: 30% of your original account size. Here's what it looks like on a $100K account.

Notice the 10% profit target grows as the account grows. At the initial $100K level, you need $10K over four months. By scale-up #5, you need $25K over four months. The bar rises.

The profit split improvement is front-loaded. You get the biggest jump (80/20 to 90/10) at level 1, and the final jump to 100/0 happens at level 3. After that, the split stays at 100/0 forever. Every scale-up beyond the third is pure account growth.

How Does the Path to 100% Profit Split Work?

The 100% profit split is the headline feature and it's real. By the third scale-up, Brightfunded takes zero cut of your profits. You keep everything.

Here's the timeline in plain terms. Assume you start funded on day one with a $100K account at 80/20.

Months 1-4: Trade your $100K. Hit the 10% target, stay profitable in 2+ months, complete 2 payouts, keep a positive balance. Request scale-up from support. You get bumped to $130K and your split moves to 90/10.

Months 5-8: Trade your $130K. Same requirements based on the new balance: $13K profit, 2 profitable months, 2 payouts, positive balance. Account grows to $160K. Split stays at 90/10.

Months 9-12: Trade your $160K. Hit $16K in profit, meet all the other conditions. Account grows to $190K. Split goes to 100/0. Done.

Twelve months from your first funded trade, you're trading nearly double your original account and keeping every dollar you make. That's the best-case scenario. Zero delays, zero resets.

If you bought the 90/10 profit split add-on when you purchased the account, you skip the initial 80/20 phase. Your split already starts at 90/10, and you reach 100/0 at the same third scale-up. The add-on doesn't accelerate the scaling timeline, but it does mean you keep more money from day one.

How Do You Request a Scale-Up at Brightfunded?

Brightfunded does not auto-promote accounts. You have to initiate the process.

After four months of funded trading, if you believe you've met all the requirements, contact Brightfunded support. You can reach them through their dashboard chat or by emailing their support team. Tell them you want a scaling plan review.

Their team verifies your account against the four conditions. If everything checks out, they process the scale-up. The account balance increases and the new profit split takes effect.

There's no specific form or button for this. It's a manual request. I'd recommend keeping your own records of monthly P&L, payout dates, and account balance snapshots so you can reference them when you make the request. Don't rely on memory or assume support will dig through your history for you.

Timing matters too. The four-month window starts from your first trade on the funded account, not from the date you passed the evaluation or received the account. If you got funded in January but didn't place your first trade until February, your first review period ends in June.

What Happens If You Miss the Scaling Requirements?

This is the part most traders skim past. If you don't meet the requirements at the end of a four-month period, your parameters reset.

That means a new four-month review period starts from scratch. You don't lose your account. Your balance stays where it is. But the clock resets. Whatever progress you made toward the next scale-up is wiped.

Say you had three strong months but your fourth month was a disaster and you ended up negative at the time of your request. Reset. Four new months. Or you pulled good profits but only completed one payout instead of two. Reset.

The penalty isn't harsh in terms of what you lose. You keep your account, your balance, your current scale level. But you lose time. And time is the real cost in any scaling system.

I want to be direct about this: the 2-payout minimum trips more traders than the profit target. People focus on hitting 10% and forget they need to actually process withdrawals during the period. If you're someone who likes to let profits compound and withdraw in bulk, you'll need to adjust that habit for Brightfunded's scaling plan.

What Does Long-Term Growth Look Like at Brightfunded?

Since there's no cap on scaling, the numbers get interesting over longer timeframes. Here's a $100K account projected over three years, assuming you never miss a review period.

After three years of clean scaling, your $100K account has grown to $370K with a 100% profit split. That's 3.7x your starting capital.

The catch: that 10% requirement compounds. At $370K, you need $37,000 in profit over four months to keep scaling. That's $9,250 per month on average. Whether that's achievable depends entirely on your strategy, risk tolerance, and the instruments you trade.

Brightfunded also integrates the scaling plan with their Trade2Earn token system. As you scale, the token perks compound alongside your account growth, though the specifics of how Trade2Earn interacts with scaled accounts are worth checking directly on their platform since token utility evolves.

Realistically, most traders won't hit every single four-month window. One reset adds four months to your timeline. Two resets add eight months. The path to $370K might take four or five years instead of three. But the point is that the ceiling doesn't exist. There's no arbitrary cap at $200K or $400K.

How Does Brightfunded's Scaling Compare to Competitor Plans?

Scaling plans vary wildly across prop firms. Some are generous, some are a marketing gimmick. Here's how Brightfunded stacks up against the most common models.

Where Brightfunded wins: no cap and 100% split. Those two things alone put them ahead of most competitors on the scaling front. Plenty of firms top out at 90/10 forever, or cap your account at 2x the original size.

Where Brightfunded loses: the manual request process is clunky compared to automatic scaling. And the 2-payout requirement adds a condition most competitors don't have.

The 30%-of-original math is also slightly less aggressive than firms that scale based on current balance. A 25%-of-current-balance model compounds faster because each new level is calculated on a bigger number. Brightfunded's linear approach is simpler and more predictable, but mathematically slower in the long run.

That trade-off might not matter if you value the uncapped growth and 100% split. Those are hard to find elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often can you scale up at Brightfunded?

Brightfunded reviews accounts for scaling every four consecutive months from the first trade on the funded account. If you meet all requirements at the end of each four-month window, you can scale up once per period. There's no limit to how many times you can scale.

What is the profit split at each Brightfunded scaling level?

Brightfunded starts funded accounts at 80/20 (or 90/10 with the add-on). The first scale-up moves the split to 90/10. The second scale-up keeps it at 90/10. The third scale-up raises the split to 100/0, and it stays there for all future levels.

Is there a maximum account size on Brightfunded's scaling plan?

No. Brightfunded does not cap account growth through the scaling plan. You can continue scaling indefinitely, adding 30% of the original account size at every four-month review, as long as you keep meeting the requirements.

Do you need to request scaling manually at Brightfunded?

Yes. Brightfunded's scaling plan is not automatic. Traders must contact Brightfunded support directly to request a scale-up review after each four-month period. If you don't request it, your account stays at the current level.

What happens if you fail the Brightfunded scaling requirements?

If you miss any of the four scaling requirements at Brightfunded, your parameters reset and a new four-month review period begins. You don't lose your account or current balance. You keep your existing scale level. But the four-month clock starts over.

How much profit do you need for each Brightfunded scale-up?

Brightfunded requires 10% total profit over each four-month review period, calculated on your current account balance. For a $100K account, that's $10K. After scaling to $130K, the target becomes $13K. The dollar amount grows as your account grows.

Can you scale a $50K Brightfunded account to $200K or more?

Yes. A $50K Brightfunded account scales by $15K per level (30% of $50K). After 10 scale-ups (40 months minimum), the account would reach $200K. With no cap, it can grow far beyond that.

Does the 90/10 profit split add-on affect Brightfunded scaling?

Brightfunded's 90/10 add-on means your funded account starts at 90/10 instead of 80/20, so you keep more profit from day one. The scaling timeline and requirements stay the same. You still reach 100/0 at the third scale-up regardless of whether you purchased the add-on.

How does Brightfunded's Trade2Earn work with the scaling plan?

Brightfunded's Trade2Earn token system runs alongside the scaling plan. As you trade and scale your account, you accumulate tokens that unlock additional perks. The exact interaction between scaled accounts and token benefits is managed through their platform and evolves over time.

Is 10% profit in four months realistic for Brightfunded scaling?

Brightfunded's 10% over four months works out to roughly 2.5% per month. For active traders using proper risk management, this is achievable but not trivial. It becomes harder as the account grows because the dollar amount increases even though the percentage stays the same. A $190K account requires $19K, or about $4,750 per month.
