Head to head · 33 criteria compared BrightFunded wins this comparison (7 against 6). My Funded Futures stays relevant for traders whose priorities differ from the average.
Set up in 2023 by a Dutch team and operated out of Dubai, BrightFunded keeps its rulebook short: no consistency rule, no time limit, static drawdown on both 2-Step plans. The model leans instead on paid add-ons — fee refund, 90% split, waived minimum days — and the first payout only lands 30 days after the first trade.
Criteria won: 7 / 33
Launched in late 2023 in Delaware, My Funded Futures posts the highest customer satisfaction in our futures database, at 4.9/5 across more than 21,000 reviews. Its four plans share a 6 % target and an end-of-day trailing drawdown that locks above the starting balance. The notable trade-off: over 80 countries are excluded.

Choose BrightFunded if… Choose My Funded Futures if… BrightFunded applies a static drawdown capped at 8 %, with a 4 % daily limit. My Funded Futures applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %. This is the single most consequential difference between the two. A static drawdown is measured once, from the starting balance, and never moves; a trailing drawdown follows your equity upward, so a winning streak raises the floor you can no longer fall below. Intraday trailing is stricter still, because it tracks unrealised peaks reached inside the session — profit you never actually banked can permanently raise your loss threshold.
BrightFunded keeps 100 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 30 days, then pays First payment 30 days after the first trade, then every 2 weeks; weekly and bi-weekly add-ons available. My Funded Futures keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 1 days, then pays Rapid: every 24 h (minimum $500); Builder: every 48 h; Pro: 14-day cycle (minimum $1,000, capped at $100,000 per cycle). Payout frequency deserves as much attention as the split itself: a slightly lower share paid every two weeks compounds faster than a headline percentage locked behind a monthly cycle and a long first-withdrawal delay.
BrightFunded is the only one of the two to offer mt5, ctrader, dxtrade. My Funded Futures covers ninjatrader, tradovate, tradingview, quantower, volumetrica, which its rival does not. Platform choice is not cosmetic: order execution, available order types and the reliability of your automation all depend on it, and switching mid-evaluation is rarely possible.
Our trust pillar scores them 66/100 and 83/100, which weighs age, corporate transparency and public payout evidence. In an industry with no financial regulator overseeing these evaluations, longevity and a verifiable payout history are the closest thing to a guarantee.
