Does ThinkCapital Have a Consistency Rule?
The Simple Answer
Yes, but only on the Bolt plan. ThinkCapital applies a 20% consistency rule to Bolt accounts: your single best trading day cannot exceed 20% of your total profits before you request a payout. The Lightning, Nexus and Dual Step plans have no consistency rule.
Consistency Rule by Account Type
How the Rule Is Calculated
The consistency score is your single biggest trading-day profit divided by your total trading-day profit: (Highest Trading Day Profit ÷ Total Trading Days PnL) × 100. To stay eligible, the result must be at or below your account limit. Partial trades count on the day the position is fully closed.
Say your total profit is $1,000 and your single best day made $300. Your consistency score is 300 ÷ 1,000 = 30%. On the Bolt account the limit is 20%, so at that moment you cannot withdraw yet. To fix it, your total profit needs to reach at least 300 ÷ 0.2 = $1,500, so you keep trading (without beating that $300 day) until your total clears $1,500 and the score drops to 20% or below.
Breakdown by Account Type
Bolt: 20%
On the Bolt account, your largest single trading day must stay at or below 20% of total profit, checked in the funded phase before you can withdraw.
Lightning: No rule
The Lightning account has no consistency requirement. Your best day can be any share of total profit without affecting your eligibility.
Dual Step: No rule
The Dual Step account has no consistency requirement. Your best day can be any share of total profit without affecting your eligibility.
Nexus: No rule
The Nexus account has no consistency requirement. Your best day can be any share of total profit without affecting your eligibility.
What Happens If You Break It
Breaking the consistency rule at ThinkCapital does not breach or reset your account. It is purely a payout gate: if your biggest day is too large a share of profit when you request a withdrawal, the payout is held, not cancelled, and your funded account stays active. You keep trading until your largest day falls back to the limit, then request the payout again. See the full ThinkCapital payout methods and timelines for how withdrawals are processed.
How to Fix a Failing Score
The fix is dilution: keep making profit over your next trading days so your biggest day shrinks as a share of the total. Divide your best day by the limit as a decimal to find the total profit you need. For a 20% limit, a $300 best day needs total profit of at least $300 ÷ 0.2 = $1,500. So you keep trading, without beating that best day, until your total clears $1,500 and the score drops to 20% or below.
Final Comments
ThinkCapital keeps consistency to the Bolt plan alone, where your best day must stay at or below 20% of total profit before a payout. The Lightning, Nexus and Dual Step plans have no consistency rule. Exceeding it on Bolt only means you keep trading until your best day is back within 20%, then withdraw.
Consistency is just one funded-phase rule. If your strategy trades around releases, check whether news trading is allowed at ThinkCapital before you scale up.
