ThinkCapital launches Bolt Flex, an instant funding account with balance-based drawdown

ThinkCapital has launched Bolt Flex, a second version of its Bolt instant funding program. Like Bolt, it has no evaluation: the trader starts on a simulated funded account from day one.

The difference is in the risk rules. Bolt Flex has a 3% daily loss limit based on balance and a 7% maximum loss that trails the balance and locks at the initial balance once the account grows by 7%. Unrealised profit on open trades does not move the loss floor. The standard Bolt keeps a 3% equity-based daily limit and a 6% trailing equity max loss.

Bolt Flex is available in five sizes:

• $2,500: $59
• $5,000: $107
• $10,000: $191
• $25,000: $419
• $50,000: $719

Its best day is capped at 25% of total profit, compared with 20% on Bolt. Payouts every 14 days, an 80% profit split, the optional add-ons and the scaling plan work the same on both versions. Traders can hold one active account per size across Bolt and Bolt Flex.
