Audacity Capital FTP (Instant Funding)

Simulated account

Per the terms:"AudaCity Capital's trading programs, including the Ability Challenge (2-Step), Ability One (1-Step) and FTP (Instant Funding), primarily operate in a simulated trading environment using fictitious funds." Clause 2.1: "All trading programs, including Ability Challenge (2-Step), Ability One (1-Step), and FTP (Instant Funding), initially operate in a simulated trading environment using fictitious funds and market data." A transfer to a live account with the firm's own capital is at the firm's discretion and "not guaranteed" (clause 2.3). The instant-funding page FAQ likewise says it "operates in a simulated trading environment that mirrors live market conditions". Conflict: the FTP FAQ says "a live funded account from day one", the instant-funding page "trade a live instant funded account from day one", the pricing table labels the column "Live Account", the checkout "a live data account". The FAQ (General) answers "Am I trading with live funds?" only with "Our accounts operate in live market conditions". Per the terms, the terms prevail where they conflict with the Knowledge Center.

other basis

Reset: 00:00 MT5 server time (GMT+2 Nov–Feb, GMT+3 Mar–Oct)

a breach ends the account

Trailing: the floor is 95% of the day's highest equity (open positions included), rises intraday and never falls; reset at 00:00 MT5 server time. Example: equity high USD 10,400 → floor USD 9,880. Touching the floor closes the account automatically.

10 % · static

The floor stays fixed at the starting balance minus the limit.

Stops: Fixed floor at 90% of the initial balance (equity including open positions); does not rise with profits. The instant-funding page elsewhere advertises a "Trailing Drawdown" ("The drawdown limit adjusts as your account balance increases"); the FTP FAQ, rules table and pricing table state 10% static, the terms 10%.

≤ 35 % · best day ÷ total profit

payout waits until met

Best trading day profit ÷ total net profit (profits minus losses) × 100 may be at most 35%; the score resets after every payout. Firm's example: net profit USD 1,000, best day USD 420 → 42%, not met; USD 1,200 net profit is needed (420 ÷ 0.35). Per the terms the total net profit must be positive, and while the rule is not met the trader is not eligible for the affected payout.

The FAQ on the Funded Trader Program page still says "Audacity Capital does not apply a consistency rule" (earlier wording).

none

No minimum trading days and no minimum profitable days; the 35% consistency rule replaces them. The Funded Trader Program page still says 5 minimum days (earlier wording).

75 %, up to 85 %

75% on the first payout, 80% on the second, 85% from the third payout onward for the rest of the account's life; the same for every account size. The checkout lists 75% for every size, including the follow-on stages after a payout ("FTP 2.0 After WD"). The Funded Trader Program page still says "Up to 80%" (earlier wording).

14 days

Payouts on a 14-day cycle counted from the first trade. Requirements: consistency score at most 35%, account not breached, the payout method's minimum reached; no profit target and no minimum trading days. Then a risk-team review of 1–3 working days during which the account must not be traded.

Two pages still carry earlier wording: under "Are there any time limits" the guidelines say for FTP "Unlimited trading days to reach 10% profit target", and the FAQ on the Funded Trader Program page says "10% profit target to become eligible for a withdrawal".

every 14 days

Every 14 calendar days, counted from the first trade.

USD 20

USD 20 for every withdrawal method except Rise; via Rise at least USD 1,000.

no refund

Per the terms the fee reimbursement applies only to the Ability Challenge (2-Step), not to FTP.

none

No scaling plan: the account size stays the same for the account's life; the split rises with each payout instead. Only one active FTP account per trader; it counts at full size towards the USD 400,000 total allocation across all programmes. The "Getting Started" FAQ instead still states up to USD 200,000 of FTP allocation (e.g. four 50K accounts).

The account is terminated after six consecutive months without trading activity (terms, FAQ and Funded Trader Program page agree).

restricted

No opening, closing (TP/SL included) or adding to positions from 3 minutes before to 3 minutes after high-impact news or speeches; the guidelines state explicitly that this applies to FTP. Pending orders placed shortly before news just to catch the spike are prohibited per the terms and guidelines. One FAQ answer on the Funded Trader Program page is stricter and says no open positions may be held in that window.

allowed

allowed

Holding over the weekend allowed; deliberately exploiting weekend gaps is prohibited, and losses from gaps remain the trader's responsibility.

restricted

Only self-developed EAs; purchased, shared or third-party-coded EAs, HFT and third-party signals are prohibited. VPS for EAs allowed, VPN generally not.

restricted

Only between the trader's own accounts (also from an external account if it belongs to the trader). Copying third parties and third-party account management are prohibited.

forbidden

Opposite positions in the same instrument are prohibited, within one account or across accounts. Also prohibited: trades held for about 2 minutes or less (tick scalping), martingale, DCA, grid trading, exploiting system flaws and oversized lots.

Forex 1:30 · Metals 1:30 · Indices 1:30 · energies 1:60 · Crypto 1:2

Values per the guidelines' leverage table; the FAQ on the Funded Trader Program page says 1:30 "across all assets". Lot size is contradictory: the guidelines say "You can open any lot size amount", while the FAQ (General) and the Funded Trader Program page state at most 10 lots per open position. Per the FTP FAQ commissions apply (forex and metals USD 6 per round trip, indices USD 10 per lot), as do swaps; no swap-free option.
