“Each Instant Funded Account is subject to a maximum overall loss limit of six percent (6%) of trailing equity, which trails the high-water equity of the Account until the Customer’s first approved Pay-out Request, at which point the maximum overall loss limit shall be permanently fixed at six percent (6%) of the Initial Balance of the Account, and shall not thereafter trail upward regardless of any subsequent equity highs”terms · thinkcapital.com/terms/ · 2026-07-26 · saved copy
