Audacity Capital Denied My Payout After Passing Challenge (Account #186876) — Evidence Attached
I am posting this as an objective, fact-based case study to warn other traders about how Audacity Capital handles payouts. I completely passed my $5,000 Ability Challenge account with a clean 0.00% daily drawdown and 0.00% total drawdown.
My client dashboard showed a bright blue passed badge for all active metrics, and my consistency score sat at 55.46 on their automated tracker. Over 14 active days of trading, I maintained a solid 72.7% win rate (16 wins and only 6 losses).
When I requested my payout, their risk team immediately denied it by shifting their compliance allegations:
THE FIRST EXCUSE: An email from their risk team claimed I breached a "permitted margin threshold" by hitting 82% margin on a 1.0 lot trade on XAUUSD.
THE CONTRADICTION: I replied with MT5 server logs proving that the trade went instantly into profit, earned a combined net profit of over $400, and never hit a technical margin call.
THE SECOND EXCUSE: A different risk manager stepped in, explicitly admitted to the "absence of a margin call," but completely changed their story. They upheld the denial by subjectively labeling the profitable position as "gambling behavior" and "lot size abuse."
Audacity Capital heavily markets that they removed the Consistency Rule to simplify trading, but this case proves they secretly enforce unquantified consistency guidelines during manual backend audits. They give you 1:100 leverage but then punish you if you actually utilize the purchasing power cleared by their MT5 server.
Even if you pass 100% of their automated metrics and protect their corporate capital perfectly, they can still deny your payout based on vague, emotional judgments. I have attached the full dashboard, MT5 logs, and conflicting email proofs below. Has anyone else experienced this?
