Why Traders Choose Ability Challenge (2 steps)

Choosing a two phase prop firm comes down to more than the headline funding amount. The evaluation rules, drawdown limits, trading flexibility, profit share and path to funding all matter. The Ability Challenge (2 steps) is designed to give traders clear conditions and room to demonstrate consistent trading.

How to Pass a Two-Step Prop Firm Challenge

Passing a 2 step challenge prop firm requires more than reaching the profit target. Traders need to manage risk, follow the account rules and maintain a consistent approach through both the Challenge and Verification phases.

Approach Phase 1 With a Clear Plan

The first phase is your opportunity to demonstrate that your trading strategy can generate results while staying within the account's risk limits. Focus on your highest-quality setups, use consistent position sizing and avoid increasing risk simply to reach the profit target faster.

Treat Phase 2 as a Continuation, Not a Reset

Once you pass the Challenge phase, the goal is not to change your strategy or take more risk. Approach Verification with the same discipline that helped you complete Phase 1, focusing on controlled trading and protecting your progress.

Manage Risk Before Chasing Profit

Risk management should remain a priority throughout both phases. Define your position size before entering a trade, understand your daily loss and maximum drawdown limits, and avoid allowing a single trade or losing streak to put the account at risk.

Avoid the Most Common Challenge Mistakes

Many traders make the evaluation harder by trying to reach the target too quickly. Overtrading, excessive position sizes, revenge trading, changing strategies after losses and ignoring drawdown limits can all undermine an otherwise effective trading plan.

1 step vs 2 step prop firm

A two phase prop firm gives traders two stages to demonstrate consistency before receiving funding, while a one step prop firm reduces the evaluation to a single phase. The better option depends on your trading style, risk management and preference for evaluation structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

↪Getting Started with the Ability Challenge(2 steps)
What is the Ability Challenge (2 steps)?⌄

The Ability Challenge is Audacity Capital's two step prop firm evaluation program. Traders complete the Challenge and Verification phases to qualify for a funded account.

How does the Ability Challenge (2 steps) work?⌄

Complete Phase 1 and Phase 2 by meeting the profit targets while staying within the daily and maximum drawdown limits. Once you pass both phases and complete verification, you'll receive a funded trading account.

How long does it take to pass both phases?⌄

There's no time limit, so you move at your own pace. Each phase has a four-trading-day minimum, so the fastest route is eight trading days if you clear both profit targets cleanly — but you can take as long as you need.

Is there a time limit to complete the Ability Challenge (2 steps)?⌄

No. Unlike many prop firms, the Ability Challenge (2 steps) has no maximum time limit. You can complete each phase at your own pace, provided you meet the minimum trading-day requirement.

Who is the Ability Challenge (2 steps) suitable for?⌄

The Ability Challenge (2 steps) is ideal for traders who have a consistent strategy and want to access larger trading capital without risking significant personal funds.

↪Trading Rules & Risk Management
What happens if I hit a drawdown limit during the challenge?⌄

If you reach either the daily drawdown or the maximum drawdown in a phase, that attempt ends — they're two separate limits, and breaching either one closes the account. You never owe anything beyond your fee, and you're free to start a fresh two step challenge whenever you're ready.

Are there any hidden rules I should know about?⌄

No surprises, the requirements are the published profit targets, the static daily and maximum drawdown limits, and the four-trading-day minimum per phase, with no time limit. For the complete, current rulebook, check the program's trading rules before you start.

Can I trade the news and hold positions over the weekend?⌄

Yes to both. News trading and weekend holding are permitted through both phases and once you're funded, so you can run your strategy without trading around those restrictions.

Can I use Expert Advisors (EAs) or copy trading?⌄

Yes. Both are allowed, subject to Audacity Capital's trading rules, on MT5 and DXtrade alike.

Which trading platforms are available?⌄

You can complete the Ability Challenge (2 steps) using supported platforms such as MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and DXtrade, allowing you to trade with the platform you're most comfortable using.

Can I trade any strategy?⌄

Most trading strategies are permitted as long as they comply with Audacity Capital's published trading rules. Always review the latest program rules before trading.

↪Funding, Payouts & Scaling
Do I get my challenge fee back?⌄

Yes. Funded traders are eligible for up to a 100% refund of the Ability Challenge (2 steps) fee with their first qualifying payout, so passing effectively brings your entry cost back to zero.

Do funded traders actually get paid, and how soon?⌄

Yes. Once funded, payouts run on a bi-weekly cycle, with your first available 14 days after your first live trade, and you keep up to 90% of the profits you generate.

What profit split do funded traders receive?⌄

Funded traders can keep up to 90% of the profits they generate, depending on the program terms.

Can I scale my funded account?⌄

Yes. Traders who consistently meet performance requirements may qualify for Audacity Capital's scaling plan, allowing them to increase their funded account over time.

How much funding can I receive?⌄

Eligible traders can scale their funded trading account up to $2 million through Audacity Capital's scaling plan.

↪Costs, Eligibility & Accounts
Can I lose my own money on the Ability Challenge (2 steps)?⌄

No. You trade Audacity Capital's account under a set of risk rules, so your own capital is never on the line — the only cost is the one-time challenge fee. That capped downside is a big reason traders choose a funded trading challenge over risking a personal account.

How much does the Ability Challenge cost?⌄

The challenge fee depends on the account size you choose. The fee is paid once when you purchase the challenge, and eligible traders can receive up to a 100% refund with their first qualifying payout.

Can I have more than one Ability Challenge account?⌄

Yes. Audacity Capital allows traders to purchase multiple challenge accounts, subject to the firm's account limits and trading rules.

What happens if I fail the Ability Challenge (2 steps)?⌄

If you breach the trading rules or drawdown limits, the challenge ends. You can purchase a new Ability Challenge (2 steps) and start again whenever you're ready.

Why choose the Ability Challenge (2 steps) over trading your own capital?⌄

The Ability Challenge (2 steps) lets you prove your trading skills while risking only the one-time challenge fee rather than your personal trading capital. Successful traders gain access to funded accounts, profit sharing, and the opportunity to scale up to larger account sizes.
