  • Profit target: 8% / 5%
  • Max drawdown: 8%
  • Daily loss limit: 5%

Steps to pass ThinkCapital

  1. Know the exact targets. Hit a 8% / 5% profit target while keeping total losses under 8% and any single day under 5%.
  2. Risk small per trade. Size every position so a bad day can't breach the 5% daily limit — most passers risk well under 1% per trade.
  3. Clear the 2-phase evaluation steadily. Reach the 8% / 5% target over multiple sessions rather than one big trade.
  4. Follow ThinkCapital's rules. 2-step: 8%/5% profit targets 8% max drawdown
  5. Track and review every trade. Use a trade journal and a drawdown calculator to stay inside the limits.
