Hiding your location with a VPN, proxy or remote desktop is prohibited and triggers a new identity check. Your own EA on a VPS is allowed if disclosed.

Maximum Risk Limit

Copy Trading

Only to copy your own trading: between your own CFD accounts or from your own master account at another broker or firm. Signals and third-party accounts are 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

Allowed at every stage. Straddling is prohibited: opposite or offsetting positions on the same or correlated instruments within 15 minutes of a red or amber release; the risk desk reviews it.

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

30 days without a closed trade ends the account.

6 months

Consistency Rule
Limited

No best-day rule. A single trade may not exceed 60% of profit; if it does, payouts pause until it is back under. On funded Prime, every 7 days the trade count and volume per instrument must stay within ±25% of the average, or the account moves to a standard funded account.

Yes
  • Ability Challenge: no consistency rule.
  • Ability One: 50%, only at the live (funded) stage.
  • FTP Instant Funding: 35% for payout eligibility. Score = best trading day profit ÷ total net profit × 100. Above 35%, keep trading until the score is 35% or below.

Ability One and FTP rules apply to accounts bought from 2 November 2026.

Hold Weekend
Limited

Only with the add-on. Without it, positions are closed at 4:45 PM New York time on Friday: the first time is a warning, the second ends the account.
