BrightFunded Review

One-time-purchase evaluations in single-phase and two-phase formats, from $5K upward. The single-phase 1-Step uses a 10% target with 3% daily and 6% max drawdown; the two-phase routes split the target across phases with 4–5% daily and 8–10% max drawdown. You trade forex, metals, indices, commodities, and a wide crypto range (majors, altcoins, DeFi, and meme coins) on cTrader, MT5, or BrightFunded's own DXtrade-based platform.

80% as standard, and the model is built to scale higher toward 100% through BrightFunded's growth and bonus system. Payouts run on a bi-weekly cycle, and there is no profit cap — no per-cycle withdrawal limit on your earnings.

No to both. BrightFunded does not currently enforce a consistency rule, and there is no cap on how much you can earn or withdraw per cycle under the standard payout rules.

During Phase 1 and Phase 2 you can trade freely around news events with no restrictions. Once you are on a funded account, a restriction applies within a 10-minute window around major news on the affected instrument — covering both market executions and pending orders. Trades held for at least 48 hours before the take-profit are exempt, and non-targeted instruments can be traded normally throughout. BrightFunded has stated that any earlier rules permitting unrestricted funded-account news trading are void.

Neither is required, though a stop loss is strongly recommended for risk management. There is no minimum holding time on trades, but tick scalping is not allowed.

Paid challenge accounts can earn a 15% profit-share bonus — 15% of your Phase 1 and Phase 2 profits added to the starting balance of your next funded account once you reach at least 10% growth (which can be combined across linked funded accounts). You contact support to apply it, and it is withdrawable with your next payout. Free accounts are also awarded — one after your first payout on a qualifying funded account, and one after you pass Phase 2. Free accounts are not eligible for the 15% bonus.

Yes, in the simulated environment: roughly $3 per lot on currency pairs, $0 on indices, about 0.024% of volume on crypto, and 0.0010% on commodities. BrightFunded applies these because it mirrors funded traders' trades onto its own corporate live accounts, where real commissions are paid — and the Challenge validates that you can trade profitably with those costs in place.

You must be at least 18. BrightFunded does not provide services to individuals in or from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Syria, or Vietnam.

Weekend holds are allowed, but be mindful of swap (rollover) fees — the interest charged for holding a position overnight. Triple swap charges apply on the Wednesday rollover for forex pairs and commodities, and on the relevant rollover day for indices.
