ThinkCapital: EAs & leverage
Expert Advisors are permitted (stated for Lightning). Leverage: Lightning 1:30; Dual Step & Nexus up to 1:100 (dynamic); Bolt up to 1:50 (dynamic).
The gotcha
ThinkCapital's full prohibited-strategy list (copy trading, HFT, latency arbitrage) lives in its Terms — verify there before relying on automation/copy specifics.
What happens if you break it
This is a soft breach: the firm typically warns or flags the account rather than voiding it, but repeated or flagrant breaches escalate to termination.
