## What this firm publishes

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.
