How to pass BrightFunded (2026 rules)
BrightFunded is a fast-growing European forex and multi-asset firm with a clean 2-step evaluation, static drawdown, no consistency rule, and EAs allowed during evaluation. The rule that decides whether you survive is the daily loss limit — because it counts unrealised, floating drawdown, not just closed losses.
⚠ Rules change often. Always verify the firm's current rules and Terms of Service directly with the firm before installing or deploying any strategy on their account. The figures below were verified May 2026 and may already have changed.
BrightFunded runs a single two-phase path: Phase 1 with an 8% profit target, Phase 2 with 5%, both carrying a 5% daily loss limit and a 10% total drawdown, with a 5-day minimum per phase and no time limit. Accounts run $5K–$200K (allocation to $400K). Both the daily and total limits are static — fixed from your starting balance, never trailing.
The floating-equity daily limit is the real test
Static total drawdown is forgiving, but the 5% daily loss includes unrealised, floating drawdown at any moment in the day. If your open positions show -5% at any instant — even briefly, even if they'd recover — you've breached. This makes per-trade sizing the decision that matters most: at conservative risk per trade you can absorb several losers in a day, but stacked correlated positions can hit the floor fast. It's the same intraday-equity discipline as FTMO, not the EOD logic of futures firms.
What's genuinely friendly here
BrightFunded has no consistency rule at any stage, allows EAs during evaluation (many firms force you to trade differently in the eval than when funded — BrightFunded doesn't), and runs on MT5, cTrader and DXtrade, so PVE connects via the PineConnector bridge. The Trade2Earn program rewards trading volume with tokens redeemable for free evaluations and split upgrades, and scaling is uncapped — +30% every four months, reaching a 100% split after the third scale-up.
How to pass it
Size so your worst realistic floating drawdown in a day stays comfortably under 5% of the starting balance, clear the 8% then 5% targets across at least five days each, and on the funded account build in the 10-minute news blackout (about five minutes either side of high-impact events — profits inside the window are deducted). Avoid the daily rollover window late in the CET evening. Otherwise it's the standard survival-first approach.
BrightFunded is friendly where it counts — static drawdown, no consistency rule, EAs in evaluation — but its daily limit counts floating equity, so size for intraday heat and wire the funded news window into your automation.
