BrightFunded provides proprietary trading evaluations covering CFDs and crypto assets. The listed markets include FX, metals, indices, energy, crypto, BTC+ETH, majors, altcoins, DeFi, and meme assets. Leverage varies by market and evaluation structure: one-step and two-step accounts list up to 1:100 for FX, 1:40 for metals and energy, 1:20 for indices, and 1:5 for the listed crypto categories. Commissions also vary, from $3 per lot on FX to zero on indices.
The evaluation process
The source states that evaluation accounts require five trading days in each phase. A day counts when a trade remains open for at least one minute, while an add-on removes the minimum-day requirement. Funded accounts have no minimum trading-day rule. BrightFunded also advertises a Free 1K Challenge with no fee or card required, although the supplied material does not provide its full evaluation metrics.
The firm describes a 15% evaluation profit reward. Traders who reach at least 10% growth on funded accounts and meet the stated conditions may receive a new funded account whose initial balance includes a 15% bonus calculated from Phase 1 and Phase 2 evaluation profits. Support must be contacted to request the bonus.
Rules and risk limits
News trading has no restriction during evaluation. On funded accounts, trades may not be executed on affected instruments within five minutes before or after major news events; profits made during that ten-minute window may be deducted, while losses are not compensated. Positions opened more than five minutes before an event may remain open, and trades open for at least 48 hours are exempt from profit deduction.
- Copy trading is allowed between accounts personally owned by the trader, but not between accounts belonging to different owners.
- Expert Advisors are allowed, subject to the trading rules and platform compatibility.
- Overnight, weekend, and crypto holding or trading are allowed.
- An account must place at least one trade every 30 days, with the trade open for at least one minute.
- Hedging across accounts or platforms, delayed data, coordinated manipulation, grid trading, arbitrage, tick scalping, HFT, and risk-abusive practices are prohibited.
Payouts and platforms
The first payout is available after 30 days, with subsequent payouts every two weeks. Weekly payouts and bi-weekly payouts from the first payout are available through an add-on. The stated profit split is 80%, rising to 90% with an add-on and 100% from the third scale-up onward. Payouts can be made by USDC on the ERC-20 network or by euro bank transfer, with no minimum payout amount. The supplied source does not identify a trading platform.
Who it suits
BrightFunded may suit traders seeking broad CFD and crypto market coverage, permitted EAs, weekend holding, and a defined path toward unlimited scaling. Traders should review the funded-account news restrictions and prohibited-strategy list carefully, particularly if their approach relies on high-frequency, grid, arbitrage, or event-driven trading.
