BrightPulse Futures from Kenya
Pass a futures prop challenge from Kenya
BrightFunded's futures evaluation has one target, 6%, and one loss rule, the Max Loss Limit. That makes the plan simple to write and easy to break. Check what one losing trade costs before you place it.

- Auto close 00:45 Nairobi time
- Loss at the stop

- Share of the Max Loss Limit

2 of 40 micro units used (1 mini = 10 micros)
One point is $2 on MNQ, $20 on NQ, $5 on MES, $50 on ES. For crude oil a point is $1 a barrel: $100 on MCL, $1,000 on CL. Commission counted on entry and exit.
The plan in one line. Risk small enough that ten losing trades in a row still leave you above the floor, take the 6% over several days instead of one, and be flat before the 00:45 Nairobi auto close. Rules from BrightFunded's futures help centre, 7 Nov 2026.
The two numbers that decide everything
| Size | Target (6%) | Max Loss Limit | Contracts | Price (BrightPlus / BrightCore) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $1,000 | 2 minis / 20 micros | $120 / $130 |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | 4 minis / 40 micros | $165 / $190 |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | 8 minis / 80 micros | $280 / $340 |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | 12 minis / 120 micros | $380 / $460 |
The target is bigger than the loss limit on every size. You need a run of good days, not one lucky one. BrightFunded's site showed the code BRIGHTFUTURES for 40% off on 7 Nov 2026.
A plan to pass
- Choose the drawdown that matches how you trade. BrightCore counts the floor at the end of the day, so an intraday dip that recovers does not hurt. BrightPlus counts it in real time.
- Size each trade at 5 to 10% of the limit. On $50K that is $100 to $200 a trade. Two MNQ with a 25-point stop is about $104 with commissions: use the calculator above.
- Spread the target. The consistency rule wants your best day at most 40% of total profit on BrightCore (50% on BrightPlus). A $1,200 best day needs $3,000 in total on Core.
- Hold winners longer than 15 seconds. More than half of your winning profit must come from such trades, or the pass waits.
- Stop for the day after two losses. There is no daily limit to stop you, so the rule has to be yours.
Micros or full-size contracts
| Contract | One point is worth | Commission per side |
|---|---|---|
| MNQ (Micro Nasdaq-100) | $2 | $0.95 |
| NQ (E-mini Nasdaq-100) | $20 | $2.88 |
| MES (Micro S&P 500) | $5 | $0.95 |
| ES (E-mini S&P 500) | $50 | $2.88 |
| MCL (Micro crude oil) | $100 per $1 a barrel | $1.20 |
Commissions are all-in and charged on entry and exit. On a small stop they are a real part of the loss, which is why the calculator adds them.

The evening in Nairobi covers the busiest US hours. The auto close is never a breach, but nothing can stay open overnight or at the weekend.

Questions traders ask
Can I trade BrightFunded Futures from Kenya?
Yes. Kenya is not among the 55 restricted countries on BrightFunded's list, checked 7 Nov 2026. You pass KYC with Sumsub before the SIM Funded account is released.
What is the profit target?
6% on every size: $1,500 on $25K, $3,000 on $50K, $6,000 on $100K and $9,000 on $150K. There is no time limit.
Is there a daily loss limit?
No. The only loss rule is the Max Loss Limit ($1,000 to $4,500 by size). If live equity, open trades included, touches the floor, the account is breached.
Should I start with micros?
Micros (MNQ, MES) move one tenth as much per point as the full contracts, so a normal stop costs a fraction of the limit. On a $50K account the cap is 4 minis or 40 micros, counted together.
