Audacity Capital — Funded Stage Rules & AI Trust Score

Hidden Rules & Critical Conditions

• FTP Orders Are at Audacity's Sole Discretion — Firm Can Reject, Hold, or Cancel Any Order [Critical]: FTP T&C Section 2.4: "Any order initiated by a trader is the exclusive property of Audacity. The firm retains complete discretion to manage such orders internally or to execute them, based on the company's overall risk profile and the individual performance of the trader. Under no circumstances is Audacity obligated to fulfil or honour any order. The firm reserves the right to reject, hold, or execute any order at its sole discretion." Traders are explicitly described as "contractor team members" — not clients. This clause applies ONLY to FTP (live accounts). Ability Challenge accounts are simulated and not affected.
• FTP T&C Requires 10% Profit Target to Receive Payout — Conflicts With Biweekly Marketing Claim [Critical]: The FTP Terms and Conditions (Section 6.2) state: "The Trader receives the share of the profits once (and only when) the Trader hits the target of ten percent." This is fundamentally different from the biweekly same-day payout marketed on the comparison page. The marketing shows FTP as having biweekly payouts identical to Ability Challenge — but the actual contract terms describe a milestone-gated payout model. Section 6.3 also confirms scaling only happens when the 10% target is reached.
• FTP News Restriction: 30-Minute Pre-Event Clearance Required — Conflicts With "Allowed" Marketing [Critical]: FTP T&C Section 5 states: "The trader is NOT allowed to trade major events including: NFP, interest rates decisions, Central banks speeches etc., all exposure must be cleared 30 minutes before the events." This is far stricter than the "3-minute window" shown on the comparison marketing page, which brands ALL plans — including FTP — as "Allowed" for news trading. Traders on FTP who trade based on the marketing page's 3-minute rule could have profits denied.
• Anti-Defamation Clause: Negative Reviews Online Can Lead to Termination and Legal Action [Warning]: General T&C Termination section states: "Using reputational damaging language regarding AudaCity Capital, whether internal or external, without a valid basis is strictly prohibited. This includes but is not limited to posting negative reviews or comments online. By participating in our programs, you understand that AudaCity Capital values its reputation and will take necessary action to protect it. You further acknowledge that any violations of this provision may result in termination of your participation in the programs and may be subject to legal action." This clause is contractually binding on all program participants.
• Consistency Clause Still in T&C Despite Marketing Saying "Not Anymore" [Warning]: The comparison page marketing displays "Consistency Rule: Not anymore" for all plans. However, the General T&C still contains an active consistency clause: "Traders will need to demonstrate consistency within their results in regards, but not limited to trade length and lot size in order to pass the minimum trading days required... the risk team reserves the right to assess consistency based on the trader's style." Example given: 1 trade at 15 lots on one day vs. 6 trades at 0.1 lot on six other days = challenge failure. This is not "removed" — it's just not prominently marketed.
• 30-Day Inactivity = Permanent Funded Account Termination [Warning]: Both the Ability Challenge T&C (Section 2.2) and the FTP T&C (Section 2.2) state: "Failure to engage in trading activity on your funded account for a consecutive one-month period will lead to the termination of your account due to inactivity." The General T&C also repeats this. Inactivity is measured in calendar days, not trading days. Logging in does not count — a trade must be placed and executed. Traders planning extended breaks must remain active to avoid permanent account loss.
• All Fees Final Once Service Starts — Bank Disputes Contractually Prohibited [Warning]: Ability Challenge T&C Section 3.1: "ALL PAYMENTS ARE FINAL AND FOR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY." Section 3.2: "The customer is not entitled to a refund of the registration fees if the service has been started (i.e. the account has been purchased)." And critically: "The customer is not entitled to open a dispute for the paid fee with the Customer's bank or payment service provider." FTP T&C Section 3.2 repeats: "ALL PAYMENTS ARE FINAL. This includes both full and partial refunds." Traders who file chargebacks are in breach of contract.
• Liquidity Providers Kept Strictly Confidential — Execution Quality Unverifiable [Warning]: FAQ: "Audacity Capital exclusively partners with commercial liquidity providers, avoiding traditional retail broker brands. Our approach is unique, offering specialized trading conditions and specific requirements. We maintain strict confidentiality and enforce rigorous measures to protect the anonymity of our suppliers." After 14 years of operation, Audacity still refuses to name a single liquidity provider or broker partner. This prevents independent verification of execution quality, pricing integrity, or conflict of interest.
