Flexible Prop Firm with Attractive Drawdown Rules but Significant Risk-Management Complexity
BrightFunded is a rapidly growing simulated prop trading firm operated by Bright Global FZCO in Dubai, with affiliated entities in Saint Lucia and Cyprus. Its current BrightFunded 2.0 programmes include 1-Step, 2-Step Bright and 2-Step Classic. The strongest features are static drawdown on the two-step plans, no consistency rule, EA support, weekend holding, unlimited trading period and profit splits that can scale to 100%. However, the firm currently carries elevated hidden-risk because its Trustpilot rating is unavailable following a guideline breach, recent reviews contain disputes around account breaches and payout-related risk reviews, and the 1-Step plan uses a relatively aggressive trailing drawdown.
