Trading Plans

Compare each plan path, how it progresses, and the key funding and payout terms we have confirmed so far.

Single-stage evaluation path that leads to funded access after objectives are met.

ThinkCapital's public flow is choose a program, pass the evaluation, receive a simulated funded account, and then request payouts. Official funded-account materials describe these as simulated funded accounts rather than direct live-capital allocations.
Current public materials show payout frequency of 14 days, with 7 days available via add-on. The FAQ states that only profits made on the simulated funded account are eligible for payout and lists Crypto USDT TRC20 or ERC20 and Rise among the payout methods.
ThinkCapital public challenge cards show model-dependent leverage: Lightning at 1:30, Dual Step at dynamic up to 1:100, and Nexus at 1:100. This is a clear case where leverage should be stored as model-dependent notes rather than one universal number.

Two-stage evaluation path that must be completed before funded access.

Funded Account Structure

ThinkCapital presents itself as a broker-backed prop firm. Current programs include Lightning one-step, Dual Step two-step, and Nexus three-step challenges, with public challenge and funded loss limits shown separately on the site.

Allowed Trading Instruments
Structured instrument coverage is still being normalized for this firm. For now, use the market badges and the plan and rules notes above as the best guide to what this firm supports.

A clean public restricted-country list did not surface in this pass.

For non-futures firms, this section summarizes challenge fees, commissions, spreads, swaps, activation costs, and other trader-facing cost notes when exact structured fee rows are not yet normalized.
ThinkCapital says it offers competitive trading conditions with raw spreads on supported instruments. It presents Platform 5 and ThinkTrader as the trading environments rather than publishing a separate funded-account commission schedule in the reviewed materials.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
Automated trading systems and EAs are allowed by default, subject to ThinkCapital's tool-disclosure and fair-use restrictions.
ThinkCapital permits automated systems and compatible third-party tools on ThinkTrader, but traders must notify support in advance. The firm may request tool details, files, or proof of purchase, and it separately prohibits exploitative or manipulative trading behavior that violates its terms.
Copy Trading
Not allowed

EAs, algos, and bots are allowed, but copy trading of any kind across accounts is not permitted. Same-market simultaneous positions across multiple accounts are treated as copy trading. Hedging is allowed on the same account but prohibited across multiple accounts.

Microscalping Policy
No explicit tick-scalping-only policy surfaced in the current official ThinkCapital materials reviewed. The firm instead prohibits manipulative or exploitative trading tactics that violate its terms.
Bots Policy

Bots and automated tools are allowed on ThinkTrader if they are disclosed to support in advance, but exploitative automated behavior that breaches ThinkCapital's terms remains prohibited.

DCA Policy

No explicit DCA or martingale policy surfaced in the current official materials reviewed for this firm.

Allowed Trading Hours
Trading-hour restrictions are model-dependent. News trading is prohibited on Lightning, Dual Step Intraday, and Nexus accounts within 2 minutes before and after high-impact red-folder events, while Dual Step Swing allows news trading by default.
Move to Live Criteria

ThinkCapital's public flow is choose a program, pass the evaluation, receive a simulated funded account, and then request payouts. Official funded-account materials describe these as simulated funded accounts rather than direct live-capital allocations.

Rule Enforcement Notes

ThinkCapital can warn, suspend, restrict, or breach accounts for prohibited behavior. Hard breaches and inactivity breaches terminate funded-account payout eligibility, and news-window violations can lead to immediate account breach, agreement termination, and forfeiture of profits.

Refund Policy

ThinkCapital offers a 14-day refund window if the purchased account has not been traded. After successful completion of both challenge phases, the challenge fee refund is issued only with the third payout rather than the first or second.

Activation Fee Policy

No separate funded-account activation fee surfaced in the current official ThinkCapital materials reviewed. The official pricing language focuses on challenge purchase fees, add-ons, and later refund timing rather than a separate funded-activation charge.

VPN Policy
ThinkCapital generally does not allow VPN or VPS use because funded accounts must remain sole-trader accounts and location tracking matters for compliance. The firm says ForexVPS is the approved VPS exception, while VPN or VPS use during KYC or AML checks is strictly prohibited.
Payout Methods

Current public materials show payout frequency of 14 days, with 7 days available via add-on. The FAQ states that only profits made on the simulated funded account are eligible for payout and lists Crypto USDT TRC20 or ERC20 and Rise among the payout methods.

Trading Platforms
Platform 5 ThinkTrader

ThinkCapital has a live FAQ hub with platform topics, but the exact current platform list still needs a tighter extraction pass. The firm clearly supports multiple challenge structures and funded-account management workflows.
