What profit split do I receive?
Profit split | When it applies | Example on $1,000 of eligible profit |

85% | When the profits generated reach or exceed 10%. | You receive $850 |
Up to 90% | Available through consistent performance and compliance with the scaling plan. | You receive up to $900 |
What do I need to be eligible?
Your live account meets the 50% consistency rule. The rule applies on the live stage only.
Your request meets the minimum withdrawal for your chosen method.
Your account remains compliant with Audacity Capital's trading rules.
There are no minimum trading days and no minimum profitable trading days on your live account.
How is the consistency rule calculated?
CONSISTENCY FORMULA
Best day profit ÷ Total net profit × 100
The result must be 50% or less. Your score resets after every payout.
Total net profit | Best trading day | Best day as % of net profit | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
$2,000 | $900 | 45% | Meets the rule |
$2,000 | $1,200 | 60% | Does not meet the rule. You need $2,400 net profit, so $400 more. |
What is the minimum withdrawal?
Withdrawal method | Minimum withdrawal |
|---|---|
RISE | $1,000 |
All other withdrawal methods | $20 |
The profit target is 10% of your starting account balance during the Challenge stage.
To qualify for a Live Trading Account, you must reach this target while strictly adhering to all program rules, including risk management parameters and minimum trading day requirements.
The Daily Drawdown is capped at 3% of your account’s balance or equity at rollover—whichever is higher. It resets every day at midnight (MT5 server time – GMT+2 or GMT+3 depending on Daylight Saving Time).
This limit ensures that your equity does not fall by more than 3% in a single trading day, promoting consistent risk management.
The drawdown is based on a static model, meaning it recalculates daily using your updated balance or equity at rollover.
Example:
Day 1 Rollover Balance: $100,000
→ Daily Drawdown (3%) = $3,000
→ Equity must not fall below $97,000 that day.
Day 2 Rollover Balance: $110,000
→ Daily Drawdown (3%) = $3,300
→ New equity limit = $106,700
This approach ensures fairness and consistency across all trading days.
The Max Drawdown is set at 6% of your initial account balance and remains fixed throughout the Challenge phase.
This means your account equity must not fall below this threshold at any point. Breaching either the daily drawdown or the absolute drawdown will result in account termination.
Example:
- Initial Account Balance: $100,000
- Absolute Drawdown (6%): $6,000
→ Your account will be closed if equity drops below $94,000 at any time.
