Minimum Trading Days
Evaluation: 3 trading days Funded: 3 profitable days with atleast 0.5% profit based on your starting balance for that day, and your overall account balance is above the initial starting balance. Impact on Payouts: For every payout interval, you must meet the Minimum Profitable Trading Days requirement to qualify for payout. Expert Advisor (EAs) ThinkCapital supports automated trading and Expert Advisors on all account types, provided the tools are compatible with the ThinkTrader platform. Users must contact support via email to notify them of third-party software usage, as the platform may require a review of the strategy for compliance.
Copy Trading
Traders are allowed to use copy trading between Think Capital accounts. To use copy trading between your other prop firm accounts and Personal accounts, you must use your Think Capital account as the master account. However, ThinkTrader does not have the functionality of traditional Expert Advisors (Trade copiers) in the same way as MT5. Trade Copiers compatible with ThinkTrader can be used for copy trading.
Inactivity Rule
You must place at least one trade every 30 days to keep your account active. Failure to do so will result in account termination with no refund for challenge accounts and no payouts for funded accounts. Gambling & Reckless Trading Policy ThinkCapital strictly prohibit any trading behavior that resembles gambling or reckless betting. Trading must be approached professionally, 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 (placing a few high-risk trades hoping for quick wins), “coinflip” trading patterns, and account rolling. Accounts showing such behavior may receive warnings, profit deductions, resets, suspension, or permanent termination sometimes without prior notice if risk is extreme.
