What's ThinkCapital's Expected Value? | Simulating Lightning, Dual Step, and Nexus for a Year — Dual Step Comes Out on Top [September 2026]
I calculated ThinkCapital's Lightning (1-step), Dual Step Intraday (2-step), and Nexus (3-step) with a year-long Monte Carlo simulation following their official rules exactly. Covers annual take-home at 0.5%/1%/1.5% risk per trade and 50–58% win rates, the fee refund on the 3rd payout, Lightning's trailing max loss, and Dual Step's max loss (7% during evaluation, 8% funded).
Prop Firms That Won't Let You Change Strategy: Official Rules Checked | TradingCult Bans EAs Outright, Funded7 Disqualifies Running the Same EA Across Multiple Accounts [September 2026]
TradingCult bans EA and bot use outright, and a violation is a hard breach. The firm and FundedElite also explicitly ban 'account rolling.' At Funded7, even your own EA gets you disqualified for Group Trading if its results correlate too closely with another trader's.
