Account Reset
No data

You can reset your account from the stage you reached: Phase 1, Phase 2 or even a Funded Account. If you reached funded, the reset provides a new funded account at the same starting size, so you can return to trading toward your next payout without completing the evaluation again.

Resets are available through your Trader Dashboard for 7 days after an account breach.
Synthetics exception: evaluation phases only, at 20% off base price. Funded synthetic accounts cannot be reset.

Expert Advisor (EA)
Yes

Only self-developed EAs are permitted. The use of commercial, publicly available, or third-party-created automated trading tools is strictly prohibited.

Limited

Allowed under the firm's EA conditions, including current Synthetics. Legacy synthetic accounts prohibit EAs until passing their current evaluation phase or their next funded payout.

VPN
No data
Yes

You are allowed to use a VPN or VPS as long as it has a Static IP.

Also be aware that the IP rule restricts multiple accounts from different individuals from being accessed from the same IP address to ensure the integrity and fairness of our trading environment.

Hedging
Yes
Limited

Allowed. Synthetics: within the same trading account only.

Requires Stop Loss
No
No
Scalping
Yes
Limited

Tick scalping (holding trades for only a few seconds to capture minimal price movements) is prohibited. Regular scalping is allowed; the previous "50% of trades > 1 minute" rule was removed for accounts purchased after March 12, 2026.
Funded Synthetics: profits from full or partial closes inside 5 minutes are removed at payout. Soft breach; the account stays open. Legacy accounts apply this after their next payout.

Stacking / Layering (DCA)
No
Yes
Martingale
No
Limited

Allowed on other account types. Prohibited on Synthetics under the current rules. Legacy synthetic accounts retain permission until passing their current evaluation phase or their next funded payout.

Maximum Risk Limit
No

Maximum limit of 10 lots per open position. You may open multiple positions, but each individual position cannot exceed 10 lots.

Yes

Flex 1 Step (evaluation and funded): 1% Risk Per Trade Idea from the initial account size. Positions on the same instrument count as one idea. The first automatic breach is soft and the second is hard; aggregated re-entry losses may cause direct account closure.

Other Funded Accounts purchased after March 12, 2026 (Prime excluded): 1.5% Risk Per Trade Idea. A "trade idea" includes your initial position and any positions opened in the same direction within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade. The combined loss across all positions in that window cannot exceed 1.5% of your initial account size.

Optional Add-On at checkout: Upgrade to 2% Risk Per Trade Idea for more drawdown room.

Instant Lite (accounts purchased from August 17, 2026): once the account reaches 4% in profit, a 1% maximum risk per trade applies.

Copy Trading
Limited

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

Limited

Prime and Flex 1 Step: external signals and copy trading are not allowed. Other account types allow copy trading.
Synthetics: between your own accounts only.

News Trading
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.

Limited
  • Flex 1 Step: do not open or close positions within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event, during either evaluation or funded stages. Holding through news is allowed. Strikes carry over: the first deducts the profit, the second also reduces the profit split from 85% to 60%, and the third closes the account
  • Other accounts: do not open new trades within 2 minutes before or after a scheduled high-impact news release. You may close or manage existing trades, and take-profits, stop-losses and partial closes remain permitted
Inactivity Rule

6 months

30 days

Consistency Rule
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.
Limited

Instant Lite accounts purchased from August 17, 2026 have a 15% consistency rule. It does not apply to Flex 1 Step, Instant Elite, standard 1-Step, Prime or standard 2-Step accounts, which have no consistency rule.
Synthetics: 25% once funded; no evaluation consistency. Legacy funded synthetics: 30% until the next payout.

Hold Weekend
Yes
Limited

Flex 1 Step: overnight holding is allowed, but weekend holding is not allowed. Other account types allow weekend holding.
