How to pass a BrightFunded challenge

Start from the limit, not the target

With these numbers, three losing trades cost $150: annoying, but the challenge survives. That is the point.

At $50 a trade, you can lose 3 trades in a row before your daily stop and 6 before the limit itself.

Start a challenge

The routine for every session

1. Before the session: write today's daily limit in money, from the higher of equity or balance at the start of the day.
2. Mark levels: two or three support and resistance zones on the 4-hour chart.
3. Trade only at those levels, with a confirming candle and a stop beyond the zone.
4. Size from the stop: risk ÷ (stop in pips × pip value). A wider stop means fewer lots.
5. Stop for the day at half the daily limit, or after two losses in a row.

Use the time you have

BrightFunded requires at least 5 trading days per phase and sets no deadline. A trading day counts when a trade stays open for 60 seconds or more. If the target arrives early, keep trading small until the days are done instead of adding size.

Rules that catch good traders

• Floating losses count. The daily limit is measured on equity, so an open loser can end the day before you close it.
• 1-Step trails. The 6% maximum follows your best equity until the account is 6% up, so giving back profit shrinks your room.
• Banned styles. Grid trading, tick scalping, HFT, arbitrage and coordinated multi-account trading are prohibited.
• News on funded accounts. Profit from trades placed 5 minutes either side of high-impact news is deducted: the news rule.

After you pass: getting paid

The funded account starts at an 80/20 split. Your first reward request opens 30 days after your first funded trade, then every 14 days; close all trades before requesting. BrightFunded pays in USDC on the ERC-20 network or by bank transfer in euros, with no minimum, and processes requests within one day. On paid plans you also get 15% of the evaluation profit with the first payout after 10% growth.

Questions traders ask

What is the fastest way to pass a BrightFunded challenge?

There is no safe fast way. You need at least 5 trading days per phase and there is no time limit, so the reliable path is small, steady gains with strict daily stops.

How much should I risk per trade?

0.5% to 1% of the account. On a 3% daily limit that allows several losing trades in a row before the day is at risk.

When do BrightFunded payouts start after I pass?

The first reward split opens 30 days after your first trade on the funded account, then every 14 days. The default split is 80/20.

Can I hold trades overnight on a challenge?

Swap and gaps move equity, and the daily limit counts floating losses. If you hold, size the trade so a gap against you still stays inside the limit.
