Thunderbolt is our flagship 1-phase challenge. One evaluation, one target, no second phases. Hit 5% and you're funded. Account sizes from $5,000 to $1,500,000.
At $289 for a $100K account (with current promotions), you're paying nearly half what competitors charge for significantly better conditions.
Why Thunderbolt?
Most prop firms charge $499-$599 for a $100K account with an 8-12% profit target, 30-60 day time limits, and 60-90% profit splits.
Thunderbolt gives you a 5% target, unlimited time, no minimum trading days, 1:100 leverage, and 99% profit split.
The math is simple: better conditions at a lower price.

Challenge Phase Rules
Profit Target: 5%
Reach 5% profit on your account balance. All positions must be closed before the challenge is considered complete. No minimum trading days. Hit the target and you're done.
Daily Drawdown: 6%
Maximum loss allowed within a single trading day (00:00 to 23:59 UTC). On a $100,000 account, your maximum daily loss is $6,000.
Dynamic Risk Shield™: 10%
Your account is protected by our Dynamic Risk Shield™, a drawdown mechanism that moves up with your profits but never goes down.
It tracks your account's highest equity point (High Water Mark). The drawdown limit is always 10% below this peak. As your equity grows, the shield rises with it. Once the shield rises, it stays at that level permanently and never decreases. The maximum shield level equals your initial balance.
Example on a $100,000 account:
Scenario | Equity | Shield | Status |
Start | $100,000 | $90,000 | Active |
Profit +$5,000 | $105,000 | $94,500 | Shield rises |
Loss -$6,000 | $99,000 | $94,500 | Still safe |
Loss -$3,000 | $96,000 | $94,500 | Still safe |
This rewards consistent growth while protecting against significant drawdowns.
How to Pass the Challenge
Reach at least 5% net profit. Stay above the 6% Daily Drawdown and 10% Dynamic Risk Shield™ at all times. Close all positions before completion.
That's it. No minimum trading days. No waiting. Hit the target and move on.
Once you meet all conditions, you're eligible for a funded account after verification.
Funded Phase. This Is Where It Counts
You passed. Now the rules tighten, because now the capital is real.
Profit Split: 99%
You keep 99% of all profits generated. We keep 1%.
Daily Drawdown: 3%
On a $100,000 funded account, your maximum daily loss is $3,000.
Dynamic Risk Shield™: 5%
Same mechanism as the challenge, but with a tighter 5% threshold. The shield tracks your highest equity point and the drawdown limit is 5% below the peak. It only moves upward, never down. Maximum shield level equals your initial balance.
Max Single Trade Loss: 3%
You cannot risk more than 3% of the initial account balance on any single trade. On a $100,000 account, that's $3,000 maximum risk per trade. On a $500,000 account, it's $15,000.
Splitting trades into multiple positions on the same instrument in the same direction doesn't bypass this rule. They're counted as one trade. Violating this rule is a HARD BREACH. Your account will be terminated.
Best Day Rule: 20%
No single trading day can represent more than 20% of your total withdrawal amount.
This is a SOFT rule. It does NOT breach your account. It only delays your payout until your profit distribution is more balanced.
Example: You want to withdraw $10,000. Your best trading day must be $2,000 or less.
Exceeding the Best Day Rule does not breach your account. It only postpones your payout. Once your profit ratio becomes consistent again, you will be fully eligible to request your payout.
Attempting to bypass the rule (for example, by splitting one large trade into smaller partial closures or through hedging) is not allowed. In such cases, the entire trade may be treated as a single transaction for evaluation purposes.
Intentionally placing small trades to create artificial trading days for the purpose of meeting the Best Day Rule requirement is considered bypassing the rule and is not permitted.
If such activity is detected, Upcomers may take corrective action including partial payout approval, denial of the payout request, or temporary or permanent account suspension.
Payout Requirement: 1%
Before requesting any payout, you must generate at least 1% profit calculated from your initial balance. On a $100,000 account, that's $1,000 minimum profit before you can withdraw.
The 1% Profit Requirement applies between payouts to ensure that trading activity remains genuine and that withdrawals reflect real, continued performance.
