What Is Ability One (1 Step)?
Ability One is a one step prop firm challenge from Audacity Capital that gives traders a direct evaluation path to the funded stage. Unlike a two-step prop firm challenge, there is only one evaluation phase to complete. To pass the Ability One challenge, traders need to reach the 10% profit target while staying within the 3% daily drawdown and 6% maximum drawdown limits. There is no time limit, allowing traders to complete the challenge at their own pace.
- Institutional-grade liquidity and execution — Access the trading conditions provided by Audacity Capital.
- Direct path to funded trading — Move to the funded stage after successfully completing the evaluation.
- No time limit — Trade at your own pace without a fixed deadline to complete the challenge.

How the One Step Evaluation Prop Firm Works ?

Who Should Take the One Step Prop Firm Challenge?
Ability One (1 Step) is designed for experienced traders who want a direct, flexible route to professional capital.

Best for experienced traders
Traders with a tested strategy who don't need multiple evaluation phases to demonstrate consistency.

Best for traders who want a faster route
A single evaluation means you don't have to complete a separate verification phase.

Best for disciplined risk managers
The 6% maximum drawdown means you need to manage risk carefully throughout the evaluation.

May not be ideal for...
Traders who prefer a lower profit target spread across multiple evaluation phases may find a two-step model more suitable.
One-Step vs Two-Step Prop Firm Challenge
As a one-step prop firm challenge, Ability One requires traders to reach a single 10% profit target while staying within a tighter 6% maximum drawdown. This means it may suit traders who have a tested strategy and disciplined risk management, without the second phase found in a two-step challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ability One one-step evaluation harder than a two-step challenge?⌄
As a one step evaluation prop firm program, Ability One has a single 10% profit target and a tighter 6% maximum drawdown. A two-step challenge spreads the evaluation across two phases, typically giving traders more room to progress between targets. The better fit depends on whether you prefer completing one evaluation phase or managing risk across two phases.
Is the Ability One (1 Step) evaluation on a simulated account?⌄
Yes. Like any one step evaluation prop firm, Ability One (1 Step) runs on a simulated account where you prove your strategy, then moves you to a live funded account once you pass. All trading carries risk, and passing an evaluation is never guaranteed.
What is a one-step evaluation?⌄
A one-step evaluation allows traders to qualify for a funded account by completing a single assessment instead of multiple evaluation phases. As a one step funding prop firm model, Ability One requires you to achieve the required profit target while staying within the program's risk limits.
How is the 3% daily drawdown calculated?⌄
The Ability One program has a 3% daily drawdown limit based on the applicable account conditions. Traders must ensure their account remains within the permitted daily loss limit throughout each trading day.
How is the 6% maximum drawdown calculated?⌄
Ability One has a 6% maximum drawdown limit. This is the overall loss threshold applicable to the account. Reaching the maximum drawdown limit results in a breach of the account's trading conditions.
How long does it take to complete the evaluation?⌄
There is no time limit. You can complete the evaluation at your own pace as long as you meet the profit target without breaching the trading rules.
What happens after I reach the profit target?⌄
Once you achieve the required profit target and meet all trading objectives, you'll progress to a funded live account where you can begin trading for profit splits.
What happens if I break a rule during the 1 step challenge?⌄
If you exceed the 3% daily or 6% maximum drawdown, that evaluation ends. You can start a new Ability One (1 Step) evaluation whenever you're ready to go again.
Do I need to use a stop loss on Ability One (1 Step)?⌄
It isn't mandatory, but it's worth using. With a 6% maximum drawdown, one unmanaged trade can end your evaluation, so a defined stop on every position helps protect the account.
Can I use Expert Advisors or trading bots on Ability One (1 Step)?⌄
Yes, if you build them yourself. Ability One (1 Step) allows personally developed Expert Advisors but not third-party or commercial ones, and it doesn't permit high-frequency trading. Copy trading is allowed only between your own accounts.
What markets can I trade during the evaluation?⌄
You can trade the instruments available under the program, including supported Forex, Indices, Commodities, and other eligible markets on the trading platform
Is news trading allowed?⌄
Yes. However, all trades must comply with the program's trading rules and risk parameters.
Can I hold trades overnight or over the weekend?⌄
Yes, provided your positions comply with the program's trading conditions and risk requirements.
What happens after I reach the profit target?⌄
Once you've achieved the required profit target and met all trading objectives without breaching the rules, you'll become eligible to move to a funded live account.
What happens if I breach a trading rule?⌄
If your trading activity breaches an applicable Ability One rule or drawdown limit, the account may be considered in breach. The specific outcome depends on the rule involved and the applicable program terms.
What happens during the account review after passing?⌄
After you meet the Ability One evaluation requirements, your trading activity may be reviewed to confirm that the account has complied with the applicable program rules. Once the review is completed successfully, you can progress to the funded stage according to the program terms.
When can I withdraw profits after I pass?⌄
You can request your first payout 14 days after your first live trade, and every two weeks after that. You keep up to 90% of the profits, and your evaluation fee is refunded up to 100% with that first payout.
How much capital can I manage?⌄
The program offers account sizes of up to $200,000, giving traders access to substantial capital once they successfully complete the evaluation.
Is my evaluation fee refundable?⌄
Yes. Your evaluation fee is refunded up to 100% with your first eligible profit withdrawal.
What profit share can I earn?⌄
Successful funded traders can receive up to 90% of the profits generated, subject to the program's terms and conditions.
Can I scale my funded account?⌄
Yes. Traders who consistently demonstrate disciplined trading and strong risk management may qualify for larger capital allocations through Audacity Capital's scaling plan.
Can I run Ability One at the same time as an Ability Challenge or Instant Funding account?⌄
Yes. You can hold Ability One, the Ability Challenge, and Instant Funding accounts together, with each program capped at $200,000 in allocation.
Can I have more than one evaluation account?⌄
Yes. You can participate in multiple funding programs, subject to Audacity Capital's allocation limits and program terms.
