Everything below traces to a sentence this firm published, saved on the date shown.

Read plan by plan on 2 September from 18 pages on brightfunded.com and 36 in its Intercom help centre: three products that do not share a floor — 1-Step trails 6% on equity in real time and locks at the starting balance at +6%, 2-Step Bright is flat 8% with a 4% daily, 2-Step Classic flat 10% with a 5% daily — and all three publish the daily limit as the higher of balance or equity at rollover. Trustpilot suppressed its rating after removing fake reviews for a guidelines breach, and its own terms confirm no regulated entity stands behind it.

The help centre is the actual rulebook; the Terms publish no target, no drawdown and no daily limit and delegate everything to "conditions as published on the BrightFunded website at the time of purchase". Payouts are 30 days to the first request, 14 days after that, 80/20 by default scaling to 100/0, with no minimum profit to request and processing within one day. Funded news rule is a soft breach: trading inside 5 minutes before and after a red-folder event deducts that trade’s profit, with a 48-hour hold exemption. No consistency rule anywhere, no stop-loss requirement and weekend holding is explicitly allowed. Leverage is 1:100 FX, 1:40 gold & commodities, 1:20 indices, 1:5 crypto, identical at evaluation and funded. Scaling is every four months, +30% of the original size, needing 10% total with two profitable months and two payouts. Contracting entities are Bright Global FZCO (Dubai) and BrightFunded Ltd. (St Lucia 2025-00358); Cypress arm Bright Transact Ltd. HE 478945 is named as affiliate.

Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.

DISQUALIFIED

Crossed one of the seven hard bars. Open the row and it names which one, with the mechanism spelled out. This is not a low grade — no quantity of virtue elsewhere buys it off, which is why it carries no rank at all.

Disqualified for

Trustpilot: fabricated-reviews warning

Trustpilot withholds the rating and serves a fabricated-reviews warning — a third party concluding the firm faked its own reviews. A low score is not this; every prop firm has angry traders. This is separate from having no legal entity: a firm can publish its registration number and still be caught doing it.

Reviews suppressed for manipulation, or the firm is gone

Each axis is scored 0–5 against a published scale. The line under each bar is the rung this firm landed on — not our summary of it, the scale entry itself.

The score is published anyway, because it is the honest picture: a firm can be strong on four axes and still be disqualified on one mechanism. A disqualifier is not a low grade — it is a rule we will not trade under at any price.

What this firm published

Everything below is quoted from a page we opened, on the date shown. The quotes are in the firm’s own language, exactly as published — never edited, never shortened, never swapped for a translation. On the Spanish edition our own rendering appears underneath each one, unquoted and marked as ours: the quotation marks on this site mean the words are the firm’s, and nothing we wrote ever wears them. Where we have not read enough to put a number on an axis, we say so instead of guessing.

3/5

Can you even pass?

weakest measured: How hard the test is

Almost nobody who pays for an evaluation ever reaches a funded account, so this is the part of the product most customers actually buy. Every firm advertises its profit target; none of them advertises that target next to how much you are allowed to lose while chasing it.

3/5

Can you keep the money?

weakest measured: Maximum loss

The drawdown takes the account away; the payout rules take the money. Answered by whichever of the two we can measure and is worse — they are two ways of losing the same thing, so a good half cannot pay for a bad one.

2/5

Is anyone behind it?

average of the axes measured: 3

A named company, a market, and rules you could read before paying. These three do not substitute for one another — a company you can sue does not stop existing because the account is a simulation — so this is the average of the ones we could measure, not the worst.

No score here, on purpose. The six axes above ask whether the firm can take your money or refuse to pay it. These rules ask something else — whether you can trade your way — and the right weight depends on who is reading: a minimum holding time decides the account for a scalper and is invisible to anyone else, while the weekend rule is the reverse. A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.

One of these questions is scored and it is not here. “Does the cap rise with the account” sits on the cash axis, next to the cap itself, because it has a right answer: a bigger account that pays the same cheque has handed you a larger number and the same money. The three below are different. A two-million ceiling is the whole point of the product for one reader and irrelevant to someone who wants one clean payout, so the firm’s sentences are here and the weight is yours.

The cap per withdrawal times how many they allow is the real size of the account. One plan here is sold on a $200,000 banner and closes after five withdrawals of $2,100.

The floor is not the only thing a withdrawal moves, and the rest of it is never on the same page. Position size, the consistency rule and the share you are paid all reset or shift at some firms, and a trader who checked only the drawdown finds out afterwards.

What breaking the consistency rule costsphase 1They state there is none.fundedno change3/3Quote
At BrightFunded, we do not currently enforce a consistency rule.

Weighted by what it costs, not by existing: reading plan by plan, no consistency rule ever closed an account — they postponed the withdrawal.

The offer for participation in the BrightFunded Funded Trader Program is at the sole discretion of Bright Global FZCO.

“We may decline for any reason” is not a rule, it is the absence of one — it makes every other number on this axis conditional on goodwill.

$2,000 is generous on a $25K account and a joke on a $200K one, so it is measured as a share and at the worst size sold.

No score here, on purpose. The six axes above ask whether the firm can take your money or refuse to pay it. These rules ask something else — whether you can trade your way — and the right weight depends on who is reading: a minimum holding time decides the account for a scalper and is invisible to anyone else, while the weekend rule is the reverse. A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.

One of these questions is scored and it is not here. “Does the cap rise with the account” sits on the cash axis, next to the cap itself, because it has a right answer: a bigger account that pays the same cheque has handed you a larger number and the same money. The three below are different. A two-million ceiling is the whole point of the product for one reader and irrelevant to someone who wants one clean payout, so the firm’s sentences are here and the weight is yours.

Almost no firm here has a financial regulator, because selling simulated evaluations is not a regulated activity anywhere. Of the 114 firms we scored by hand, 96 sat in the bottom two rungs of backing for this reason. So we do not count it against anyone — it only adds when a firm genuinely has one.

Almost none names a broker or a clearing house either, and that follows from the account being a simulation rather than being a second, separate failing. Charging for both would count one fact twice.
