What is the Funded Trader Program?

A Forex Funded Trader Account Program offers traders large capital to be able to have enough leverage to trade with profits. Once this is achieved, these profits are split between yourself and the Proprietary Firm.

Many people are trying to learn more about this field every day and it is not only about knowing the trading basics but also using the right tools and platforms to trade and be successful in the industry.

Many people are becoming profitable, learning trading skills and strategies from many online resources but they still lack the capital to make big profits. This is why Funded Trader programs are here. Audacity Capital is one of the best forex funded programs designed for profitable and talented Forex traders.

Trading guidelines

Here is a list of account sizes Audacity Capital funds for their traders and the rules each trader must follow.

First Stage Second Stage Third Stage Fourth Stage Fifth Stage Sixth Stage
Account Size
$15,000 $30,000 $60,000 $120,000 $240,000 $480,000

Account Size

Every trader that joins our Funded Trader Program starts with an initial account size of $15,000. Every time the trader hits the 10% profit target, we will double the account size up to $480,000 which is the maximum capital any trader can receive.
Lot Size
0.5 1 2 4 8 16

Lot Size

Orders at stage one are capped at a maximum of 0.5 lots, meaning that’s the most exposure you can accumulate at any one time. For instance, you can have either one position worth 0.5 OR five different positions of 0.1. Spreading risk is up to you, and when your account is doubled, so is your risk allowance.

For example, on $30,000, your maximum lot size is 1, and on $60,000, it’s 2 lots. The total drawdown limit is 10%, which is highly unlikely to happen, but you aren’t liable for losses if it does. As such, you won’t owe Audacity Capital any money.
Drawdown
10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10%

Drawdown

The 10% drawdown is absolute and not trailing and as a firm we relentlessly focus on developing long-term relationships with our traders. That’s achieved by providing you with the environment to perform and prosper.

I was looking to get funded and did my research into prop trading firms. I chose Audacity Capital because they provided real money straight away, and I was right to choose them because I was able to hit my target and withdraw my profits in a few months.
Marcin — Poland
There are many advantages that come with working with Audacity. One that comes to mind immediately is the fact that I am much more responsible with the funds that I am managing. Because I know that the funds don’t belong to me and they belong to Audacity and I want to give the best performance possible.
Megiliano — Greece
Trading on a funded account is different from trading on a personal account. I had to adapt my strategy and disconnect my emotions because the conditions are different.
Monir — India
Everything is great. I really like how tight the spreads are on the platform and the program really teaches you how to control your risk.
Amaru — United States
I was looking for a prop firm that could give me 1 to 1 mentoring, where they have a trading floor I can visit. The biggest benefit the Hidden Talents Program offers is that I can talk to my mentor all the time.
Jakob — Germany
I already had a strategy and a proper trading plan when I got into Audacity Capital and pretty much I knew what I was doing for the last 6 months. I wanted to be ready before getting any funding and I stuck to my strategy all year round while adapting to the current market trends.

As seen on

Our Funded Trader Program is designed for experienced and professional traders that already have a proven, profitable strategy in the market. That being said, not all funded trader programs are the same and are suitable for you. This is because all prop firms have a different set of rules that might not match your needs and goals. As a firm that values honesty and trust, we have laid out our rules and recommend that you look at these factors to decide if this program is best for you

Things to consider when choosing an FX Prop Trading Firm

  • It is crucial to look at the legitimacy of a prop trading firm when choosing a long term funding partner. Factors that can help determine a firm’s reputation are reviews, press features, awards, etc. Platforms such as Trustpilot and YouTube showcase a firm’s value from the opinion of people using the services of the firm.

  • Trading accounts may come with restrictions. Reading through the account’s rules and trading guidelines will help determine whether they align with your strategies. We advise that you contact a support consultant to confirm. Remember to consider a firm’s objectives when looking at their trading conditions.

  • It is essential to look at the program and the firm’s expectations. Does it align with your goals? Every firm is different.

  • Some Prop firms have a growth plan that allows funded traders to multiply their funds and enjoy increased profits.

  • Consider if there are any hidden costs. You can compare the fees with their restrictions to decide whether it is worth trading with the firm.

Frequently Asked Questions

    We do not use demo accounts in our Funded Trader Program. If your interview is successful and you are accepted you start with a $15,000 live environment straight away.

  • What is the maximum account size a trader can get?

    We double the size of the account every time you reach the 10% target up to a maximum of half million dollars. Once you reach the half a million dollars mark, you can keep trading on the account and every time you hit the 10% target, you can withdraw your profits.

  • Is it worth becoming a funded trader?

    Funded trading comes with several benefits, and the best part is that you get to trade with more capital and make better profits.

    You are allowed to trade major and cross currency pairs, no commodities or indices at least at early stages.

  • What is the initial account size?

    Once you are accepted into the program we allocate $15,000 of company funds to your account to start trading.

  • What happens if I hit drawdown?

    It is quite unlikely for you to hit the drawdown if you respect our risk parameters. However, in case that happens you will not be liable for losses, but you will automatically be withdrawn from the program.

    In some cases, there can also be a possibility for a second chance, for which the risk management team would need to review your account and approve you.

  • How can I withdraw my profits?

    You can withdraw profit every time you hit your 10% target. Once you have hit your target, you can request to withdraw on our app or send an email to [email protected] Once you have filed a request, we will double your account and send you the profits.
