Expert Advisor (EA)
Limited

Expert Advisors and automation are allowed when used for normal trading. EAs designed for high-frequency trading, tick scalping, arbitrage, reverse trading or exploitation are prohibited.

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

Maximum Risk Limit
Yes

Simulated profit is capped at $10,000 per trading day and per trade. Trades closed in parts or opened together as one strategy may be treated as a single trade.

No

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

Copy Trading
Limited

Copy trading is allowed under the firm's general rules. Break evaluations may be copied only between the same trader's own Break accounts. Copy trading is prohibited in Break Final Stage and between different traders, third parties or coordinated accounts.

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
Yes

Ascend

During the two minutes before and after high-impact news or market open, traders must not open or add new positions, nor increase or combine their maximum theoretical loss beyond 2% of the account's initial balance.

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.

Consistency Rule
Limited

Only Break Final Stage accounts apply a consistency rule: no single trading day may represent more than 40% of total profits. It is checked only when requesting a payout and does not breach the account.

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.
Hold Weekend
Yes

Crypto futures trade 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and positions may remain open overnight and over weekends.

Yes
Prohibited Strategies

High-frequency trading, tick scalping, latency or price-feed exploitation, arbitrage, gambling or all-in trading, abusive hedging, reverse trading across accounts and coordinated trading are prohibited. On Bybit, unauthorized deposits into the subaccount, modifying or disconnecting the API, spot trading, options and non-USDT pairs are also prohibited.
