ThinkCapital

ThinkCapital is a forex prop firm that sets itself apart through its partnership with the broker ThinkMarkets, and it lets funded traders send payouts to a personal ThinkMarkets live account as well as to crypto or Rise. It sells three evaluations and one instant funding account: the Lightning 1-step challenge, the Dual Step 2-step challenge in Intraday and Swing versions, the Nexus 3-step challenge, and Bolt, an instant funding account with no evaluation. Its program pages list account sizes from $5,000 to $100,000 (Bolt from $2,500 to $50,000), the terms also list $200,000 evaluations, and the funded allocation reaches $600,000. Trading is on ThinkTrader with TradingView integration, across forex, commodities, indices and crypto, in USD accounts.

The ThinkCapital rules differ by program. Lightning asks for a 10% profit target with a 3% daily and 6% trailing drawdown. Dual Step sets 9% then 5% with a 4% daily and 7% maximum loss, and Nexus sets 7%, 6% and 5% with 4% daily and 8% fixed to the starting balance. Each challenge needs 3 minimum trading days and has no time limit. Bolt has no target but a 3% daily and 6% trailing equity limit, a 20% consistency rule, and 5 profitable days before each payout. News trading is banned 2 minutes either side of red-folder news on Lightning, Dual Step Intraday and Nexus, and 5 minutes on Bolt; only Dual Step Swing allows it by default. Weekend holding is not allowed on Dual Step Intraday or Bolt, and every account needs a trade at least every 30 days.

The profit split is 80%, raised to 90% through scaling or an add-on. Payouts are bi-weekly from the first trade, or weekly with an add-on, and are processed within 3 business days; the minimum is USD 100 and Rise payouts carry a $50 monthly fee. Funded Lightning, Dual Step and Nexus accounts need 3 profitable days per payout. ThinkCapital refunds an unused account within 14 days, less a $20 fee where applicable, and returns the challenge fee with the 3rd payout. Its 5K cards list Nexus at $39, Lightning and Dual Step Intraday at $59, Dual Step Swing at $82 and the $2,500 Bolt at $49. Residents and citizens of 29 countries, including Australia, Cyprus, Vietnam and British Columbia, are not accepted.

Prop Firm Pal has not verified ThinkCapital, so this is not an endorsement: it is what the record shows. Its own pages name the operating company as TFG (Payments) Limited, in London, United Kingdom (registered office). It was founded in 2024. Its website has been active in Prop Firm Pal's monthly traffic record since November 2025, and traffic over the last three months is falling sharply. Its payout policy is published, and summarised on the Payouts tab.

Prop Firm Pal has tracked ThinkCapital's website traffic every month since November 2025. In August 2026 the site received an estimated 58.06K visits, up 16% on the month before and down 53% over three months.

Its busiest month on record was December 2025 at roughly 311.60K visits. Traffic now is 81% below that peak.

A fall of this size over a quarter is the pattern that most often precedes a firm winding down, though it is not proof of it on its own — marketing spend, seasonality and a single lost traffic source all produce the same shape. It is worth weighing before paying for an evaluation.

These are third-party estimates of website visits, collected once a month and stored against the month they describe. They are not trader counts, funded-account numbers or revenue.

Measured on estimated monthly website visits for August 2026, ThinkCapital ranks 122 of the 477 prop firms Prop Firm Pal tracks — larger than 74% of them, at roughly 58.06K visits a month.

The ranking covers every firm measured between June 2026 and August 2026, each on its own latest reading in that window. Firms last measured before June 2026 are left out rather than shown with a stale figure, so the total moves month to month.

Size is not quality. A large firm is one that markets successfully, and several of the most visited firms in this ranking have the strictest rules; some of the smallest pay out reliably to everyone who asks. What the ranking is useful for is scale — whether you are looking at an established operation or something very new.
