Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • Up to 100% profit share. No time limit on challenges. Free CTI Academy access with every program. Funded accounts scale up to $4M.
  • Powered by ThinkMarkets, a multi-regulated globally trusted broker. Three evaluation paths: one-step Lightning, two-step Dual-Step (Intraday or Swing), three-step Nexus. 80% profit split upgradeable to 90% with scaling or add-on. Bi-weekly payouts with 7-day add-on option. TradingView integration and ThinkTrader platform. Maximum allocation up to $1,000,000.
Main Drawbacks
  • No 3-Step challenge option (only 1-Step, 2-Step, and Instant Funding are offered). Instant Funding Pro tier requires a $5,000 minimum starting balance.
  • Lightning uses 6% trailing drawdown that locks at initial balance only after account grows by 6%. 90% profit split requires scaling or paid add-on. News trading not allowed on Dual-Step Intraday and restricted on Nexus. Swing Dual-Step costs ~40% more than Intraday.
