BrightFunded $200,000 Challenge — Position Size Calculator

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

With BrightFunded's $10,000 daily loss limit, you can afford exactly 5 consecutive losses at 1% risk ($2,000 each) or just 2.5 losses at 2% risk ($4,000 each) before breaching the daily limit. This makes 2% risk extremely dangerous - three bad trades and you're done for the day. The math gets trickier with partial profits mixed in, but assume worst-case scenarios when calculating position sizes. For position sizing on major pairs: EURUSD with a 50-pip stop allows 4 standard lots at 1% risk ($2,000 ÷ $500), while GBPJPY with a 30-pip stop allows 2.22 standard lots ($2,000 ÷ $900). Gold traders need to be especially careful - a 100-point stop on XAUUSD uses your entire 1% risk with just 0.2 lots ($2,000 ÷ $1,000). The real danger scenario for this account size is revenge trading after hitting the daily loss limit. At $10,000 lost in a day, you're halfway to the $20,000 max drawdown breach. This psychological pressure causes traders to abandon their risk rules the following day, often leading to account termination. Between challenge phases, your position sizing stays identical - the account balance remains $200,000 throughout Phase 1 and Phase 2. However, your profit targets drop from $16,000 (8%) in Phase 1 to just $10,000 (5%) in Phase 2. This lower target can tempt traders to increase position sizes for faster profits, but the daily loss limit and max drawdown remain unchanged at $10,000 and $20,000 respectively. Stick to 0.5-1% risk per trade maximum. The $558 challenge cost becomes insignificant compared to the funded account potential, but only if you survive the evaluation phases with disciplined position sizing.
