BrightFunded Review: Rules, Profit Split & Payouts
BrightFunded is a forex prop firm whose challenges carry a 15% Evaluation Profit Reward: 15% of the profit made in Phase 1 and Phase 2 is added to the trader's next funded account once funded growth reaches 10% and a payout is taken. It sells three challenges, the 1-Step, the 2-Step Bright and the 2-Step Classic, each in account sizes from $5,000 to $200,000. BrightFunded says none of them has a consistency rule or a time limit. The firm launched in September 2023, is headquartered in Dubai, and offers forex, crypto, commodities and indices on MetaTrader 5, cTrader and DXtrade; its site states that MT5 services are not intended for residents or citizens of the United States or the United Arab Emirates.
The BrightFunded 1-Step challenge sets a 10% profit target with a 3% daily drawdown and a 6% trailing maximum drawdown. The 2-Step Bright asks for 8% and then 5%, with 4% daily and 8% static drawdown; the 2-Step Classic asks for 10% and then 5%, with 5% daily and 10% static drawdown. Every stage needs 5 minimum trading days. News trading is unrestricted during the evaluation, but on a funded account the profit from trades executed 5 minutes either side of major news is deducted. Hedging is permitted inside one account and prohibited across accounts, platforms or other prop firms; grid trading, arbitrage, tick scalping and HFT are banned, and accounts are deactivated after 30 calendar days without a trade.
Funded accounts start on an 80/20 profit split, which a checkout add-on raises to 90% and the scaling plan to 100%, with accounts growing 30% after each four-month review. The first payout can be requested 30 days after the first funded trade and then every 14 days, weekly payouts are sold as an add-on, and there is no minimum payout. Payouts go by bank transfer in euros or in USDC after KYC. Commission is $3 per lot on currency pairs and $0 on indices. BrightFunded refunds a challenge on which no trades have been placed, if it was bought within the last 30 days. Undiscounted challenge prices were not found on the pages read.

Growth of this size usually means active marketing rather than anything about payout reliability. A firm can grow quickly and still have strict rules.
These are third-party estimates of website visits, collected once a month and stored against the month they describe. They are not trader counts, funded-account numbers or revenue.

How BrightFunded compares in size
Measured on estimated monthly website visits for August 2026, BrightFunded ranks 29 of the 477 prop firms Prop Firm Pal tracks — larger than 94% of them, at roughly 589.62K visits a month.
The ranking covers every firm measured between June 2026 and August 2026, each on its own latest reading in that window. Firms last measured before June 2026 are left out rather than shown with a stale figure, so the total moves month to month.
Size is not quality. A large firm is one that markets successfully, and several of the most visited firms in this ranking have the strictest rules; some of the smallest pay out reliably to everyone who asks. What the ranking is useful for is scale — whether you are looking at an established operation or something very new.
