Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss 5 Maximum Daily LossDaily drawdown limits depend on the program: Instant Funding uses a 5% daily drawdown, One Step uses a 4% daily drawdown, and Two Step uses a 5% daily drawdown in both evaluation phases and funded levels.FTUK states daily drawdown is calculated using the higher value of balance or equity at the end-of-day snapshot (22:00 UTC), which means open profit can increase the daily-loss threshold but open losses still count toward it. Maximum Daily LossAbility Challenge uses a static daily drawdown that resets at rollover (00:00 GMT+2): 7.5% during the Challenge stage and 5% during the Verification stage. Audacity also states the Ability Live phase daily drawdown is 5%. The Funded Trader Program (FTP) uses a 5% trailing daily drawdown (moves up with equity highs).
Max Total Loss 10 Maximum Overall LossFTUK applies different overall drawdown models across programs: Instant Funding uses a 6% relative max drawdown, One Step uses an 8% relative max drawdown, and the Two Step program uses static maximum drawdown limits of 10% (Phase 1) and 5% (Phase 2) calculated on equity. Maximum Overall LossAbility Challenge maximum drawdown is 15% in the Challenge stage and 10% in the Verification stage (and the firm also references a 10% maximum drawdown in the Ability Live phase). FTP maximum total drawdown is 10% from the initial balance. Ability One lists a 6% absolute drawdown.
Drawdown Type Drawdown ModelBrightFunded’s drawdown approach uses an end-of-day (EOD) high-watermark logic for daily risk: the daily permitted loss is always 5% of the challenge size, and the next day’s breach level is set using the highest balance or equity recorded at the end of the prior day. The daily loss resets during the rollover window (roughly 23:30–23:59 CET).Across the evaluation phases, the account must also respect a 10% maximum loss limit; breaching either the daily or max-loss thresholds invalidates the account. Drawdown ModelFTUK distinguishes between relative (trailing) drawdown and static drawdown. On One Step and Instant Funding, the trailing max drawdown is based on balance (not equity) and only moves upward as profits accumulate. On the Two Step program, drawdown is static and calculated on equity, meaning floating profit/loss is included in the drawdown check. Drawdown ModelAudacity's Ability Challenge and Verification stages are described as using a static drawdown system with daily limits resetting at rollover (00:00 GMT+2). FTP uses a trailing drawdown model (daily DD 5% trailing). Ability One uses static drawdown (3% daily and 6% absolute).

Trading Permissions
News Trading News trading is permitted, but traders remain responsible for respecting all drawdown rules; spreads and slippage can widen materially during high-impact releases. Tick-scalping and any attempts to exploit pricing/data-feed errors are prohibited. Instant Funding: News trading is permitted at all stages with no restrictions.One Step & Two Step: FTUK applies a 10-minute no-trade window around major economic releases (from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after). Trades opened or closed inside this window are treated as a soft breach where profits are erased and losses are not compensated. Ability Challenge: news trading is permitted during news events in both challenge phases and on the Ability Live account. FTP: holding open positions is prohibited during significant news events; traders must wait 30 minutes after the release once notified by the risk team.
Weekend Trades BrightFunded allows holding positions over the weekend. Traders should account for gap risk and liquidity changes at the weekly reopen; a swap-free add-on can remove swap fees for overnight/weekend holds when purchased. Forex programs: Holding positions overnight and over the weekend is allowed on Instant Funding, One Step and Two Step accounts.Futures programs: FTUK Futures does not allow holding positions overnight or over the weekend; positions must be closed by the daily cutoff time specified by FTUK.

KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required Yes Yes No
KYC Stage KYC is required to activate a Funded Star account after passing Phase 2, and BrightFunded uses SumSub for identity verification (typically government-issued ID plus proof of address). Activation also includes a security check by the risk team before the trader contract is issued. FTUK uses RiseWorks for payout processing and requires trader verification to access and withdraw via Rise. FTUK states payouts above $500 are processed via RiseWorks in USD, while payouts below $500 are processed via USDT (TRC20). If Rise is not supported in a trader’s country, FTUK can manually send payouts via USDT (TRC20). KYC is required before account activation and again before processing payouts. Audacity states KYC includes proof of identity (government-issued photo ID) and a selfie, and may need to be resubmitted for compliance.
