Maximum Risk Limit

Limited

1-Step Max: maximum 1% combined open risk per symbol, not across the entire account. Positions on different symbols have separate 1% limits. During evaluation, symbol-risk, missing-stop-loss and maximum-position-risk violations share one counter: warnings on strikes 1 and 2; hard breach on strike 3. On funded accounts, the first violation is a hard breach. The purchased no-stop-loss add-on exception still 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.

Yes

Allowed between Lark Simulated Funded Accounts. Not allowed between Evaluation Accounts

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.

Yes
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.
