BrightFunded $100,000 Challenge — Position Size Calculator

Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

With BrightFunded's $5,000 daily loss limit on your 100k account, you can absorb exactly 5 losing trades at 1% risk ($1,000 each) or 2.5 trades at 2% risk ($2,000 each) before hitting the breach threshold. The math is unforgiving - a third 2% loss puts you at $6,000, automatically failing your challenge. The danger zone for this account size comes from overleveraging on major pairs. Trading 10 standard lots of EURUSD with a 50-pip stop risks $5,000 in a single trade - your entire daily allowance. Instead, calculate position sizes using the formula: Risk Amount ÷ (Stop Loss in Pips × Pip Value) = Position Size. For 1% risk ($1,000) on EURUSD with a 30-pip stop: $1,000 ÷ (30 × $10) = 3.33 lots. On GBPJPY, where pip values fluctuate around $9.50, that same $1,000 risk with a 40-pip stop gives you: $1,000 ÷ (40 × $9.50) = 2.63 lots. Gold traders need extra caution - with $10 per pip per lot, a 20-point stop on 1 lot risks $200, allowing 5 lots maximum for 1% risk. Here's the critical insight: your risk management stays identical from Phase 1 through Phase 2 and into the funded account. The 5% daily loss limit never changes, nor does the 10% maximum drawdown. Many traders mistakenly relax their position sizing after hitting the Phase 1 target, but BrightFunded's rules remain constant throughout. The funded phase brings the same $5,000 daily exposure limit. Your edge isn't surviving one phase - it's proving you can consistently manage risk across multiple market conditions. Trade 0.5-1% risk during high-impact news, scale to 1-2% during optimal setups, but never exceed 2.5% on any single position unless you're certain about the outcome.
