What is the difference between Bolt and Bolt Flex?

Bolt and Bolt Flex are both instant funding plans with a 3% daily drawdown. Bolt measures drawdown from equity, so floating profits and losses count, and has a 6% trailing maximum drawdown, a 6% first-payout target and a 20% best-day cap. Bolt Flex measures from balance, with a 7% maximum drawdown, a 7% target and a 25% cap.

Rule	Bolt	Bolt Flex
Daily drawdown	3%, from the day's closing equity	3%, from the day's closing balance
Maximum drawdown	6%, trailing the highest equity	7%, trailing the highest balance
First-payout target	6%	7%
Consistency rule	Best day ≤ 20% of the total profit from the cycle's profitable days	Best day ≤ 25% of the total profit from the cycle's profitable days
Account sizes	$2,500 to $100,000	$2,500 to $50,000
Price from	$39	$59

What the difference means in practice

Example: a $50,000 account has a $50,000 balance and a trade floating +$1,000 at the 5 PM ET reset. On Bolt, the next day's floor is set from equity: $51,000 − $1,500 = $49,500. On Bolt Flex, the floor ignores the floating profit: $50,000 − $1,500 = $48,500. With the trade floating −$1,000 instead, Bolt's floor drops to $47,500, while Bolt Flex's stays at $48,500.

On Bolt, a floating profit that reaches the lock point locks the maximum drawdown floor straight away. On Bolt Flex, only closed profit moves or locks the floor.

What is the same

Both plans share the same payout cycle, $100 minimum withdrawal, 80% profit split (90% with the add-on), leverage schedule, news rule (10-minute window, no add-on), Weekend Holding add-on, inactivity rule and platform. They also share one account limit: one active account per size across both plans, $192,500 combined, scaling to $500,000 combined.
