Illustration of a price ladder with a new top rung and three optional add-on tags, representing ThinkCapital's Bolt Instant Funding update.
01 What happened

New prices, one new size, one rule removed.

ThinkCapital has updated Bolt, its Instant Funding programme. It has reset its prices, added a $100,000 account and dropped the requirement for a minimum number of profitable trading days. It has also set out three optional upgrades that traders can buy to change their conditions.

02 What is confirmed

Prices and add-ons.

Account sizePrice
$2,500$39
$5,000$71
$10,000$127
$25,000$279
$50,000$479
$100,000$899
  • ✓Bolt no longer requires a minimum number of profitable trading days.
  • ✓90% profit split: available for an additional 25% of the base price.
  • ✓On-demand payouts: withdrawal requests at any time, for an additional 25%. Without this add-on, payouts follow the standard schedule of every 14 days.
  • ✓Weekend holding: permission to hold and trade positions over the weekend, for a 15% price increase.

Applied to the listed prices, the add-ons would cost the following (our arithmetic, assuming the percentages apply to the price shown above):

Account sizeBase price+25% add-on+15% add-on
$2,500$39$9.75$5.85
$5,000$71$17.75$10.65
$10,000$127$31.75$19.05
$25,000$279$69.75$41.85
$50,000$479$119.75$71.85
$100,000$899$224.75$134.85
03 What remains uncertain

The terms that decide the real cost and value.

  • ✓Whether prices rose or fell. The announcement gives the new ladder but not the old one.
  • ✓The standard profit split. Only the 90% add-on is mentioned, not the default split.
  • ✓Risk limits. Drawdown, daily loss limits and consistency rules are not described.
  • ✓Payout size. No payout caps or minimums are given.
  • ✓How the add-on percentages apply. It says "of the base price" and does not say whether combined add-ons are added together.
04 Why this matters

The headline price is only part of the cost.

Bolt now removes a time-based barrier, the minimum profitable days, which makes the programme quicker to use. But the features many traders want most, a higher split and on-demand payouts, are sold separately. Taking both on the $25,000 account would add roughly $140 to a $279 price if the percentages are simply added together (our arithmetic), so the all-in cost would be about half as much again.

Weekend holding is also an extra. Traders who hold positions over weekends need to include that 15% in their comparison.

05 What happens next

What to confirm before buying.

Worth confirming directly with ThinkCapital: the default profit split, drawdown and daily loss rules, whether add-ons stack, and what the previous prices were if you are comparing against an earlier quote.

06 Comparing your options

Comparing instant-funding prices.

Instant-funding prices rise quickly once add-ons are included. If you would rather clear a standard evaluation, it is worth comparing the all-in cost against an established firm.

$39 for $2,500, $71 for $5,000, $127 for $10,000, $279 for $25,000 and $479 for $50,000. A new $100,000 account costs $899.
No. ThinkCapital says Bolt no longer requires a minimum number of profitable trading days.
A 90% profit split costs an additional 25% of the base price, on-demand payouts cost an additional 25%, and weekend holding adds 15% to the price.
Without the on-demand payout add-on, the standard payout schedule remains every 14 days.
The announcement does not say. It gives the new price ladder but not the previous prices.
