Firm Rules

• GENERAL RULES: Minimum Trading Days: Evaluation accounts must trade a minimum of 3 trading days. Funded accounts must have 3 profitable days with at least 0.5% profit based on the starting balance for that day, and the overall account balance must remain above the initial starting balance. For every payout interval, traders must meet the Minimum Profitable Trading Days requirement to qualify for payout. Expert Advisors (EAs): ThinkCapital supports automated trading and Expert Advisors on all account types as long as they are compatible with the ThinkTrader platform; users must contact support via email to notify them of third-party software, since strategies may be reviewed for compliance. Copy Trading: Copy trading is allowed between ThinkCapital accounts. To copy trade with other prop firm or personal accounts, the ThinkCapital account must be used as the master account; ThinkTrader does not support traditional MT5-style trade copiers, but trade copiers compatible with ThinkTrader may be used. Inactivity Rule: At least one trade must be placed every 30 days to keep the account active; failing this results in account termination with no refund for challenge accounts and no payouts for funded accounts. Gambling & Reckless Trading Policy: ThinkCapital strictly prohibits trading behavior that resembles gambling or reckless betting; trading must be professional, with sound risk management and consistency. Gambling behavior includes overleveraging, all-in trades, doubling down after losses (Martingale), overexposure to correlated assets, excessive high-frequency scalping, punting with a few high-risk trades hoping for quick wins, coin-flip style trading patterns, and account rolling; such behavior can result in warnings, profit deductions, resets, suspension, or permanent termination, sometimes without prior notice if risk is extreme. Detailed guidelines are provided on the ThinkCapital website. Prohibited Trading Practices/Strategies: Prohibited practices include copy trading between accounts not owned by the same person, grid trading, hedging or group hedging across multiple accounts, collusion between users, account sharing, account management, account sale, latency arbitrage, high-frequency trading, abuse of delayed data feeds, abuse of the simulated environment, trading on delayed charts, unauthorized use of Expert Advisors, challenge passing services, Martingale trading, using guarantees of compliance with limit orders, trading in sanctioned countries, exploiting platform or data freezing due to technical errors, news trading within the restricted window, order layering, and gambling or punting; penalties are documented on the ThinkCapital site. VPN/VPS Policy: VPN use is generally prohibited; multiple users on one account or unapproved automation are strictly forbidden; VPN or VPS use during KYC/AML verification is not allowed and may lead to account denial or breach. Dynamic Leverage & News Event Multiplier: During selected economic events, margin requirements may be multiplied for affected instruments; this applies only to new positions opened during the event window, while existing positions keep their original margin; leverage returns to normal once the event ends. Lightning (1-Step) and Nexus (3-Step) Challenges – News Trading Policy: News trading is strictly prohibited on both challenge and funded accounts; no trades, order executions, or account activity (including opening or closing trades, stop loss or take profit hits) is allowed within 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after any high-impact news event marked with a red folder on ForexFactory; violations cause immediate account breach, funded agreement termination, and forfeiture of all profits, except where a News Trading Add-On is purchased. Lightning – Overnight and Weekend Holding/Trading (Crypto): Crypto overnight and weekend holding or trading is allowed. Lightning Drawdown Lock: Overall maximum drawdown locks at the initial account balance once the account grows by 6%. Dual Step Intraday (2-Step) – News Trading Policy: News trading is strictly prohibited on both challenge and funded accounts; no trades, order executions, or account activity are allowed within 2 minutes before and after high-impact news events, with no exceptions. Dual Step Intraday – Overnight Holding: Overnight holding is allowed.

Payout Policy

• Payouts: The standard profit split is 80 percent, which can increase to 90 percent with scaling or an add-on, and payouts are available every 14 days unless the trader has purchased a Weekly Payouts add-on. Minimum Balance for Payout: A minimum profit of 100 United States dollars is required to request a payout. Scaling Plan: To qualify for scaling, a trader must achieve 10 percent profit over 3 months (approximately 3.33 percent per month) and complete 3 withdrawals within the review cycle. Scaling Increase: Each scaling event increases the account size by 20 percent of the original starting balance. Review Cycle: Scaling eligibility is reviewed every 3 months, with the potential to scale up to 1.5 million United States dollars in account size; if a trader qualifies, they must contact ThinkCapital support by email to initiate processing.
