Rules that end accounts
- The Max Loss Limit. If your live balance, open trades included, touches the floor, the account is gone. On $50K the floor starts at $48,000.
- Hedging. Buying and selling the same index at once, even a mini against a micro, is a breach the second time.
- Going quiet. At least one new trade every 30 days in the evaluation, every 7 trading days when funded.
Two rules only slow you down: your best day must be at most 40% (BrightCore) or 50% (BrightPlus) of total profit, and more than half of your winning profit must come from trades held longer than 15 seconds.
Paying from Nigeria
Cards are often refused for offshore payments, so crypto is the dependable route: buy USDT with naira on P2P and pay at checkout. How to buy USDT on Bybit P2P. A failed evaluation costs the fee; a breached account can be reset at 45% off its list price for a limited time.
