    BrightFunded Review: Fees, Rules and Payout Mechanics

    A Netherlands-based prop firm that rewards retention through Trade-to-Earn, a points system that scales the profit split toward 100 percent over multiple payouts. The model is unusual in the industry and works best for traders planning a long relationship with a single firm. Below: every rule that governs the BrightFunded evaluation and funded account, with a side-by-side comparison to the firms most often considered alongside it.
