Major Launch
BrightFunded 2.0 launched April 13, 2026. NEW plan structure replaces old single 2-step. Three NEW plans: 1-Step, 2-Step Bright, 2-Step Classic. Accounts purchased BEFORE April 13, 2026 = 'Original' accounts retain old rules.
Drawdown calc change
September 22, 2025: NEW DD method uses highest end-of-day balance OR equity at rollover (11:30PM-11:59PM CET), measured against original challenge size %. Applies to all accounts purchased AFTER Sep 22, 2025. Older accounts = balance-only.
1step new
10% target, 3% daily (EOD high-water mark), 6% trailing(dynamic) max DD that locks at the starting balance at +6% and restarts from scratch after each payout request, 15% profit share above split
2step Bright
8%P1 / 5%P2, 4% daily, 8% static max DD, 15% profit share
2step Classic
10%P1 / 5%P2, 5% daily, 10% static max DD (confirmed on firm help center)
Addons
Add-ons at checkout, each a surcharge on the challenge fee (Swap-Free +10%, Weekly Payouts +25%, 100% Challenge Fee Refund +10%, No Minimum Trading Days +15%, 90% Payout Ratio +20%), firm's current list is exactly five: Swap-Free, Weekly Payouts, 100% Challenge Fee Refund, No Minimum Trading Days, 90% Payout Ratio.
There is no Bi-Weekly add-on - bi-weekly is the default reward cadence.
Profit split progression
80% default -> up to 100% via the Scaling Plan. Account grows 30% every 4 months; the firm publishes the payout ladder explicitly: 1st scale-up raises the ratio to 90%, 2nd holds at 90%, 3rd scale-up and beyond keeps 100%.
Qualifying over the four-month review period: profitable in at least 2 of the 4 months, at least 10% total profit, at least 2 completed payouts, AND the balance must be at breakeven or in profit at the moment of scale-up. 90% is also available instantly as a paid add-on.
Firm states the funded account is under scaling review from the first trade; no scaling cap is published.
Strengths & watch-outs
What works in your favour, and the quirks, fees, hidden rules and operational catches we found in BrightFunded’s rules and FAQ. Always verify with the firm before purchase.
Strengths
- EAs/automation officially allowed
- High payout split (80% (90% add-on, 100% scaling))
Watch out for
- Trustpilot has suspended this firm's TrustScore for a breach of its guidelines (Trustpilot says it removed fake reviews for this company). No star rating is shown until Trustpilot reinstates it — 575 reviews remain on file.

- 15% Evaluation Profit Reward is a STANDING feature of all three paid plans (1-Step, 2-Step Bright, 2-Step Classic) - added to your next Funded Account after 10% growth.

You must contact Support to have it applied, growth only combines within the same funded-account chain, and the Free $1K Challenge does not get it. It is not a promo perk, despite older campaign copy bundling it with a discount code.
- Free $1,000 Challenge: a genuinely free 1-step entry - no fee, no deposit, no card.
Read moreShow less
Pass by making $100 simulated profit without breaching 3% daily / 6% total loss; the Free $1,000 Funded Account then pays 80% in real cash with no payout cap.
Claiming it needs a 2-minute trading survey plus phone verification, and the firm caps how many are handed out per country per day. No add-ons available on it.
- 24-Hour Guaranteed Payouts are included on every plan (payout speed), separate from the default bi-weekly reward cadence and from the paid Weekly Payouts add-on.
- Pricing is in EUR, not USD: 1-Step and 2-Step Classic €49-€997, 2-Step Bright €47-€947 (5K-200K)
- April 13, 2026 BrightFunded 2.0 overhaul replaced old Classic/Bright variants with 3 distinct plans (1-Step + 2-Step Bright + 2-Step Classic)
- Sep 22, 2025 daily drawdown changed from balance-only to higher of balance/equity at EOD
- Original 2-Step (pre-April 13, 2026) used 8%/5% targets with 5% daily/10% static
Show 12 more watch-outsShow 7 more watch-outsShow less
- First payout requires 30-day wait after first funded trade (longest in peer comparison per nycservers)
- Trade2Earn loyalty program: redeemable tokens for any trade outcome
- Trustpilot removed fake reviews -- baseline count of 1,200 was likely inflated
- Scaling is not automatic — trader must contact support to request each scale-up
- Code scoping is not stable at this firm - check it per campaign.

The summer campaign ran three separate plan-scoped codes (one each for 1-Step, 2-Step Bright and 2-Step Classic), so a code from one plan gave nothing on another.
The Back to Business campaign that replaced it on 2026-08-28 did the opposite (B2B30 was sitewide, the same 30% on all six sizes), and the Autumn Promo that followed on 2026-09-02 went back to three plan-scoped codes (RALLY30/25/15), the Double Up Offer that replaced it by 2026-09-09 went sitewide again (DOUBLE25, a flat 25% on all three plans), the 3rd Anniversary Offer from 2026-09-21 was sitewide too (3YEARS, a flat 30%), the plan-scoped Autumn Promo (RALLY30/25/15) then returned for a second run, and by 2026-10-16 the sitewide Double Up Offer (DOUBLE25) was back, then by 2026-10-21 a sitewide Halloween Offer (HW30, a flat 30%) replaced it, and by 2026-11-05 the plan-scoped Autumn Promo (RALLY30/25/15) was back for a third run.
Eight code changes in ten weeks, so treat any code you see quoted elsewhere as expired until you watch the price move at checkout.
- 30-day inactivity rule on every account type (Phase 1, Phase 2 and Funded): place a trade that stays open at least 60 seconds within 30 calendar days of your last closed trade, or the account is deactivated.
Read moreShow less
Pending orders do not count. Reactivation is by request to support; after 6 months without a request the firm may treat it as a hard breach.
- Funded capital is capped at $400,000 per trader (no cap in the Challenge phase); a larger balance has to come from the Scaling Plan.

As with any prop firm, read the current rules and payout terms before buying, and start with a smaller account size.
