Bright's combined 13% target beats Classic's 15%, and its 8% max drawdown is tighter too, but the tradeoff is a narrower daily allowance (4% vs 5%). Classic gives more daily room to work with in exchange for a higher total target and a wider max drawdown budget. Neither is strictly better, it depends on whether the trading style leans on a few larger days or steadier smaller ones.
Unlike the 1-Step plan, neither 2-Step variant's max drawdown moves once trading starts. The floor is fixed to the original balance from day one and never re-anchors to a higher equity peak, meaning a big early profit doesn't quietly tighten the room left to operate in later.
The firm overview covers what applies regardless of which model you pick: the discretionary Funded Trader Program acceptance, the Trustpilot-flagged rating, and the recurring "1% risk rule" complaint pattern still being followed up on. Read it once rather than per product.
