Multiple accounts are allowed. Eligible traders may combine them up to USD 600,000 in active allocation.

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

EAs, bots, scripts and tools that automatically open, close or manage trades are not allowed.

The firm expressly discourages VPN or VPS use and prohibits sharing devices or access credentials.

A stop loss is not mandatory, but exposure above 10 times the starting capital with more than 50% of trades lacking an SL may be treated as abuse.

Scalping is allowed, but Quick Strike/HFT, extremely short holding times and mass order activity are prohibited.

A maximum of two simultaneous open positions in the same market and direction within one trade idea.

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

Instant PineX: maximum 2% of starting capital per trade idea. Instant Elite: maximum 1% floating loss. No fixed per-trade percentage applies on 1-Step or 2-Step, but the general excessive-risk rules still apply.

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

Mirroring, third-party executed signals and copying between accounts are prohibited.

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.

Positions on the affected instrument cannot be opened or closed during the 5 minutes before and after red-folder news. Automatic SL or TP closures also count.

6 months

The account is considered breached after 30 calendar days without opening and closing at least one trade.

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.

Instant PineX applies a 20% rule: the best day must represent less than 20% of the period's profit. 1-Step, 2-Step and Instant Elite have no consistency rule.

Allowed on Instant PineX and Instant Elite. Not allowed on 1-Step or 2-Step.
