BrightFunded review
BrightFunded is a forex and CFD prop firm operated by Bright Global FZCO from Dubai Silicon Oasis, with its CFD services offered by BrightFunded Ltd and team hubs in Amsterdam and Warsaw. It was established in 2023 and relaunched its range in April 2026 with three plans. The 1 Step asks for 10% with a 3% daily loss limit and a 6% trailing maximum loss. The 2 Step Bright uses targets of 8% and 5% with a 4% daily limit and an 8% static floor, and the 2 Step Classic uses 10% and 5% with limits of 5% and 10%. Account sizes run from $5,000 to $200,000, and list prices are charged in euros, from about $53 (€47) for a $5,000 Bright account to about $1,116 (€997) for $200,000 on the 1 Step or Classic. Every plan needs five trading days per stage, has no consistency rule and no time limit, and allows expert advisors and overnight and weekend holding. The default split is 80%, with a 90% add on, and a scaling plan grows funded accounts by 30% every four months and lifts the split to 100% from the third scale up. The first payout comes 30 days after the first funded trade, then every 14 days, with faster cycles sold as add ons. A free $1,000 challenge is also offered. Trading runs on MetaTrader 5, cTrader and DXtrade.
Suits
Patient forex swing traders who want no consistency rule, weekend holding and a long term route to a 100% profit split.
Less suited to
BrightFunded may not suit you if you need a payout within your first month, want prices in US dollars, or plan to trade high impact news on a funded account.
Pros
- No consistency rule applies on any plan.
- Expert advisors and overnight and weekend holding are allowed, and news trading is unrestricted during the evaluation.
- Scaling raises the split to 90% at the first scale up and 100% from the third, with no cap on growth.
- Payouts are processed within one day and have no minimum amount.
- Traders receive 15% of their evaluation profits once the funded account grows by 10%.
Cons
- The 1 Step uses a real time trailing maximum loss based on the equity high.
- The first payout comes 30 days after the first funded trade unless a faster cycle is bought.
- Prices are quoted in euros and bank payouts are paid in euros.
- Funded accounts lose profits from trades executed within five minutes of major news.
- Trustpilot shows no rating for the firm, citing a breach of its guidelines.
Verdict
BrightFunded's appeal rests on a clean rule set and a rewarding long term path. There is no consistency rule on any plan, news trading is unrestricted during the evaluation, expert advisors are permitted, and positions can be held overnight and over the weekend. The scaling plan stands out: it raises the split to 90% at the first scale up and to 100% from the third, with no ceiling on account growth, and a 15% share of evaluation profits is credited once a trader is funded and 10% up. Payouts are processed within one day of a request, and there is no minimum amount. There are trade offs to weigh. The 1 Step uses a trailing maximum loss that updates in real time from the equity high, so open profits that reverse can tighten the limit before the account is 6% up. Default payouts only start 30 days after the first funded trade, so faster cycles cost extra, and funded accounts lose profits made within five minutes either side of major news. Prices are in euros and bank payouts are paid in euros, which adds currency conversion for many traders, and MetaTrader 5 is unavailable to residents and citizens of the United States and the United Arab Emirates. Trustpilot currently shows no rating for BrightFunded, stating that the rating is unavailable due to a breach of its guidelines, with 572 reviews listed. The firm suits patient swing traders who want flexible rules and plan to keep a funded account for many months.

Is BrightFunded legit?
BrightFunded is the trading name of Bright Global FZCO, incorporated in Dubai Silicon Oasis in the United Arab Emirates, and its CFD services are offered by BrightFunded Ltd. The firm was established in 2023 and has team hubs in Amsterdam and Warsaw. Trustpilot currently shows no rating for BrightFunded, stating that the rating is unavailable due to a breach of its guidelines, and lists 572 reviews.
How much does a BrightFunded challenge cost?
List prices are in euros. Fees are charged in euros. A $10,000 account costs about $97 (€87) on the 2 Step Bright and $109 (€97) on the 1 Step and 2 Step Classic, and a $100,000 account costs about $534 (€477) and $556 (€497) respectively. The largest $200,000 account costs about $1,060 (€947) or $1,116 (€997). Add ons such as the 90% split, faster payouts, swap free trading and a fee refund are priced separately at checkout.
What is the difference between 2 Step Bright and 2 Step Classic?
Both have two phases and a 5% target in phase two, with five minimum trading days per phase. The Bright plan asks for 8% in phase one with a 4% daily loss limit and an 8% static maximum loss, and it is slightly cheaper. The Classic plan asks for 10% in phase one but gives more room, with a 5% daily limit and a 10% static maximum loss.
How do BrightFunded payouts work?
The first payout can be requested 30 days after the first trade on the funded account, then every 14 days, and add ons shorten the cycle to 14 or 7 days. There is no minimum amount. Requests are processed within one day, with bank transfers paid in euros and crypto paid in USDC. BrightFunded charges no payout fee, although banks and networks may.
Does BrightFunded have a consistency rule?
No. BrightFunded does not enforce a consistency rule on any plan, so traders are not required to spread profits across days or keep a fixed position size. The rules that do apply are the daily and maximum loss limits, five minimum trading days per stage, the news window on funded accounts and the list of prohibited practices such as hedging across accounts.
How does the BrightFunded scaling plan work?
Each funded account is reviewed over four consecutive months. If it is profitable in at least two of them, makes at least 10% in total, has completed two payouts and is at break even or better, the balance grows by 30%. The split rises to 90% at the first scale up and to 100% from the third, and there is no ceiling on growth.
