✅ What We Like

  • Genuine broker backing by ThinkMarkets, regulated by ASIC, FCA, and CySEC — real institutional infrastructure
  • Only prop firm offering direct TradingView integration for actual trade execution, not just charting
  • Fee is refunded on your third payout
  • Consistency rule has been softened or removed on most current programs, no longer penalizing a single strong trading day
  • 4.2 to 4.6 rating across independent trackers with 300-550+ reviews

❌ What Could Be Better

  • Launched in 2024, one of the newer firms in this batch despite the strong broker backing
  • 80% default split is below-average out of the gate; the 90% tier requires an add-on
  • Some older reviews cite payout delays and slow initial verification, though sentiment suggests this has improved
  • Rise withdrawal method carries a $50 monthly fee that specifically eats into smaller payouts

Evaluation Rules

Evaluation Lightning (1-Step) / Dual Step (2-Step) / Nexus (3-Step)
Min Trading Days 3
Time Limit No time limit
Drawdown Type Trailing (locks at +6%)

The drawdown here is trailing — the loss limit follows your equity peak upward. Hit new highs and your floor rises with you, which means unrealized profit you give back counts against your remaining room. This model catches out more traders than any rule in prop trading: run our Drawdown Distance Calculator before sizing up.

Trading Platforms

MetaTrader 5

MT4's successor — faster backtesting, more timeframes, depth-of-market, and native support for more asset classes. Most newer firms have standardised on it.

ThinkTrader

Supported by ThinkCapital — check the firm's site for platform-specific account details.

TradingView

Browser-based charting used by tens of millions of traders. If a firm connects to it, you trade directly from the charts you probably already use.

Payouts

Profit Split 80% base, up to 90%
Processing Time Bi-weekly, 3 business days
Fee Refundable Yes ✓

Payout reliability matters more than any headline number — a generous split means nothing if withdrawals stall. ThinkCapital was processing withdrawals in Bi-weekly, 3 business days when we last verified this review, and the challenge fee is refunded once you reach your first payout — effectively making the evaluation free if you pass and withdraw. If you've withdrawn from this firm recently and your experience differs, use the report link at the bottom of this review.

Our Honest Verdict

The ThinkMarkets broker backing and genuine TradingView execution integration are real, substantive differentiators that most prop firms simply can't claim. As a 2024 launch, it hasn't yet built the multi-year history of the most established names, but the institutional backing meaningfully de-risks that newness compared to an unbacked startup firm.
