Funded: the greater of net floating loss and the sum of losing positions, at 2% of initial balance, trigger Atlas Protector. First trigger: positions closed and split cut to 50%; second: account closed. Using 80% of margin closes positions and deducts their profits.

Copy Trading
Limited

Only between your own Atlas accounts; copying other traders or external accounts is prohibited.

Limited

Internal copying between your own AudaCity accounts is allowed. Copying from third-party accounts (other traders, other firms, signal providers) is not permitted.

News Trading
Limited

Unrestricted during evaluation. On funded accounts, profits from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after high-impact news are deducted. Entries inside the window are closed automatically; holding through the entire window is allowed.

Limited

Do not open new trades or increase existing ones within 3 minutes before or after high-impact economic releases or official speeches, as this behavior may be considered excessive risk-taking.

Only high-impact FOMC events fall under this restriction; low- and medium-impact FOMC events are exempt. Other major/high-impact news restrictions remain unchanged. This update applies to existing and new accounts across Ability Challenge, Ability One and FTP Instant Funding.

Inactivity Rule

Open a trade at least every 30 days; failing closes the account. Instant Zero has no inactivity limit.

6 months

Consistency Rule
Limited

Instant Funded: best day at most 20% of cycle profit. No consistency on Access, Zero, 1/2/3-Step or Pro, according to checkout.

Yes

The formula for calculation of the Consistency Score is: [1 - (most profitable trading day)/(combined profit on all profitable days)]*100:

  1. If the score is above 70 then the trader is considered as consistent.
  2. If the score lies between 50 - 70 then the risk team will manually review the account and decide whether the trader should continue trading until the score becomes above 70 or pass them.
  3. If the score is less than 50, then the trader shall continue trading the account until the score reaches above 50 and then the risk team can take a call.
