Audacity Capital

Payout Frequency

Ability Challenge: first payout can be requested 30 days after the first trade on the Ability Live account, then payouts may be requested bi-weekly. FTP: payouts can be requested once a 10% profit milestone is reached (profit share varies by account size and time-to-target).

Audacity Capital documents three core tracks in its support materials:

• Ability Challenge: A two-step evaluation with a 10% profit target in the Challenge stage and a 5% profit target in the Verification stage, with unlimited trading days and a minimum of 4 trading days per phase. Drawdown is described as static daily drawdown resetting at rollover (7.5% Challenge / 5% Verification) with maximum drawdown 15% (Challenge) and 10% (Verification). After passing, traders move to an Ability Live account where the first payout can be requested 30 days after the first trade and subsequent payouts can be requested bi-weekly; profit share ranges from 75% up to 90% based on profit percentage and account progression.
• Funded Trader Program (FTP): Participants trade on a live account from the start (no demo evaluation). The program offers unlimited trading days to reach a 10% profit milestone and requires at least 5 trading days with at least 3 profitable days. FTP uses a 5% trailing daily drawdown and a 10% maximum drawdown. Payouts are requested once the 10% milestone is reached and profit share scales by account size and time-to-target (up to 80% on larger allocations).
• Ability One: A one-step evaluation track with static drawdown; Audacity lists 3% daily drawdown and 6% absolute drawdown for Ability One and allows weekend holding subject to drawdown limits.

Allowed: Ability Challenge (including Ability Live) allows weekend holding; Ability One also allows weekend holding, subject to drawdown limits.

Audacity Capital allows copy trading, subject to specific restrictions designed to ensure that all trades originate from the trader’s own strategy and accounts.

Permitted Copy Trading

Own Accounts: Copying trades between your own Audacity Capital accounts is permitted.

External Personal Accounts: Copying trades from your personal trading accounts with other brokers or prop firms into your Audacity Capital account is allowed. Verification of the source account may be required.

EAs / Automated Systems: Expert Advisors and other automated trading tools are allowed, provided they reflect your own trading strategy.

Prohibited Copy Trading and Strategies

Third-Party Signals: Replicating trades from external signal providers or other traders’ accounts is not permitted.

Group Trading / Collusion: Coordinated trading or placing identical orders with other individuals is strictly prohibited.

Commercial EAs: The use of generic, publicly available, or third-party commercial Expert Advisors is strictly forbidden to maintain trade diversity and prevent manipulation.

Arbitrage Strategies: High-frequency trading (HFT), latency arbitrage, and other exploitative techniques are strictly prohibited.

The key takeaway is that while Expert Advisors and copy trading are allowed, the underlying strategy and trades must be uniquely your own to demonstrate individual trading ability and compliance with risk management rules.

EA Guidelines and Restrictions

Permitted Use: Expert Advisors (EAs) are generally allowed on MetaTrader 5 (MT5) for both the Ability Challenge and the Funded Trader Program.

Prohibited EA Strategies: The following automated trading styles are strictly forbidden and may result in account termination:

High-Frequency Trading (HFT) and Tick Scalping: Not permitted.

Martingale or Averaging Down Strategies: Not permitted.

Latency Arbitrage: Any form of latency arbitrage or exploitation of system vulnerabilities is strictly prohibited.

Grid Trading: Not permitted.

Third-Party EAs: While EAs are allowed, the use of third-party or off-the-shelf commercial bots that place identical trades across multiple users is strictly prohibited. EA logic must be unique to the trader’s account to avoid being flagged for group or copy trading.

Platform Support: EA functionality is not available on DXtrade or other alternative platforms and is supported exclusively on the MT5 platform.

VPS Usage: The use of a Virtual Private Server (VPS) is permitted to ensure uninterrupted EA operation.

Audacity prohibits certain practices including high-frequency trading; its policy examples include using EAs to rapidly open and close trades within seconds, and tick scalping.

Ability Challenge (Refundable): The registration fee is fully refundable upon successful completion of the challenge. Traders typically receive this refund with their first payout from the live funded account.

Funded Trader Program (Non-Refundable): Fees for the direct funding (instant funding) program are generally non-refundable once trading activity has commenced. These fees provide immediate access to institutional capital without an evaluation phase.

Evaluation Failure: If a trader fails the Ability Challenge or violates risk parameters before completion, the registration fee is not eligible for a refund.

Cooling-off Period: All payments are considered final once the service has started, meaning account credentials have been issued and trading has begun.

Contract Termination: For funded traders, one month's notice is typically required for contract termination, and joining fees are not refunded if the company withdraws a trader from the program.

3 Percent Rule

Audacity Capital does not describe a universal per-trade "3% rule" in its published drawdown and Consistency Score documentation; risk limits are primarily expressed via daily/maximum drawdown limits and the Consistency Score framework.

Consistency Rules

Audacity uses a Consistency Score calculated as [1 - (most profitable trading day)/(combined profit on all profitable days)] * 100. A score above 70 is considered consistent; 50-70 triggers manual review; below 50 requires continued trading until the score improves. Audacity notes that traders typically need a score above 50 to request a withdrawal on FTP and Ability Live accounts (with review possible in edge cases).

Account Merge Allowed: Audacity Capital does not permit the merging of separate trading accounts into a single larger balance.

Policy: Separate accounts cannot be combined under any circumstances.

Alternative (Scaling): Instead of account merging, Audacity Capital applies a structured scaling plan in which the current account balance is doubled (for example, $15,000 to $30,000, then $30,000 to $60,000) each time a 10% profit target is achieved.

Consolidation: Traders may operate multiple accounts simultaneously; however, each account remains a separate entity for drawdown calculations and profit-sharing purposes.

Max Accounts per Trader

Quantity: There is generally no limit on the number of individual trading accounts a trader may purchase or hold.

Total Capital Cap: Although multiple accounts are permitted, the maximum combined active capital allowed across all evaluation-phase accounts is typically capped at $200,000 for standard traders.

Scaling Limit: Through the firm’s scaling plan, a single funded account may eventually grow to a maximum of $2,000,000 in live trading capital.

Declaration: Traders are required to declare all multiple accounts to the support team to ensure compliance with total capital allocation limits.

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.

Other Risk Rules

Minimum trading days: Ability Challenge requires at least 4 trading days per phase. FTP requires at least 5 trading days, with at least 3 being profitable days.

News policy: Ability Challenge allows trading during news events. FTP prohibits holding open positions during significant news events and requires traders to wait 30 minutes after the news release once notified by the risk team.

Weekend holding: Ability Challenge (including Ability Live) allows weekend holding; Ability One also allows weekend holding, subject to drawdown limits.

Rule enforcement: Audacity states that reaching a drawdown threshold results in automatic removal/breach from the relevant program.

Institutional Liquidity: By collaborating directly with institutional liquidity providers, Audacity Capital can offer significantly tighter spreads than many competitors.

Variable Spreads: Spreads are not fixed and typically range from 0.1 to 3 pips for major currency pairs under normal market conditions, but may widen during high-volatility events such as major news releases.

Low Transaction Costs: Overall transaction costs remain low due to the combination of tight spreads and low commissions, helping traders maximize potential returns.

Asset Variation: Spreads vary across different asset classes, with major forex pairs generally offering the tightest spreads due to higher liquidity.

Audacity Capital, like most legitimate proprietary trading firms, allows for natural market slippage due to the use of real market conditions and live data feeds through platforms such as MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and DXtrade.

Audacity Capital strictly prohibits Martingale and averaging-down strategies in its standard funded programs to maintain institutional-grade risk standards.

Audacity Capital primarily controls risk through strict position size limits rather than arbitrary lot caps, ensuring traders operate within institutional risk parameters.

Funded Trader Program: The initial maximum position size is typically 0.5 lots (approximately $5 per pip) on the starting $15,000 account.

Scaling Increases: Position limits are not fixed and double each time a trader achieves a 10% profit target and scales their account.

Consistency Score: In 2026, traders are required to maintain balanced trade sizes to pass consistency checks. A consistency score above 70 is required to avoid manual risk reviews.
