For Traders pays Fast bi-weekly once 6 profitable days at 0.5% and $100 profit are met, and Fast Pro on demand, with a $100 minimum and $20,000 Fast / $15,000 Instant cycle caps. BrightFunded pays first at 30 days after the first funded trade, then every 14 days, with no minimum. For Traders refunds the fee with the first payout, per its own blog claim; BrightFunded refunds it only with a paid add-on.
For Traders places no news restriction on crypto accounts. BrightFunded bans funded opens and closes within 5 minutes of high-impact events, as a soft breach. For Traders allows only assistive EAs, with trades open at least 5 seconds; BrightFunded allows EAs if loss limits are respected, but no automated trading on DXtrade.
For Traders keeps profitable-day gates when funded: 6 days on Fast, 4 on Fast Pro, 7 on Instant, each at 0.5% of balance; Instant Master goes inactive after 7 days without meaningful activity. BrightFunded requires 5 trading days per phase, removable as a paid add-on, and deactivates accounts after 30 inactive days. For Traders charges $25 per lot in crypto commission; BrightFunded charges 0.024% of volume. Prop trading can cost you every fee you pay.
