Limited

Copy trading only permitted between own DNA Funded accounts. Copying from non-DNA Funded accounts or between different users is prohibited.

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.

No

Also applies to unexpected high-impact events (market shocks).

Inactivity Rule

6 months

Traders must execute at least one trade every 30 days to avoid account inactivity.

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.
Yes

During the funded phase, traders can generate up to 30% of the requested payout amount as profit per calendar day.

Gains exceeding the 30% daily threshold are removed from the payout, but the account is not disqualified.

Hold Weekend
