Audacity Capital Review 2026: The Real Fund

Audacity Capital is the "Old Money" of the prop firm world. Based in London (One Canada Square), they operate more like a hedge fund than a website.

Most prop firms are automated: Pay -> Get Creds -> Trade. Audacity is manual: Pay -> Interview -> Get Creds -> Trade.

Wait, an interview? Yes. In 2026, Audacity Capital still requires a phone/zoom interview for their "Funded Trader Program". They want to know if you are sane.

The Programs

1. The Funded Trader Program (Direct)

• Cost: £298 (Join Fee) + £99/month (Data Fee). (Expensive).
• Benefit: You get $15,000 real capital immediately.
• Drawdown: 10%.
• Profit Split: 50/50 initially. (Low).

2. The Ability Challenge (Standard)

• Cost: Standard pricing.
• Rules: 10% target, 10% drawdown.
• Profit Split: 75%.
• Verdict: This is their response to FTMO. It's okay, but not their specialty.

The "Interview" Process

Why do they interview you? Because they give you Real Capital. Unlike other firms that B-Book your trades (bet against you), Audacity A-Books your trades to liquidity providers. They need to ensure you aren't a martingale bot. They want to hear your strategy.

• Tip: If you apply, tell them you risk 1-2% per trade and use Stop Losses. If you say "I scalp without stops", they will reject you.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Legitimacy: You can visit their office in London.
• Scaling: They double your account aggressively.
• Networking: You join a network of serious traders.

Cons:

• Cost: The monthly platform fee (on the direct program) is outdated.
• Split: 50/50 starting split is low compared to the industry 90%.

Verdict

Audacity Capital is for the trader who wants Prestige. Having "Funded Trader at Audacity Capital" on your LinkedIn actually means something because of the vetting process. If you just want money, go to FTMO. If you want a career credential, go to Audacity.

Rating: 4.4/5 stars. Exclusive, strict, and real.
