How long do I have to complete each challenge phase?

FundedAura offers generous time frames designed to accommodate different trading styles, from swing traders to active intraday participants. Each phase includes a minimum time requirement but no maximum rush—you may progress at your own pace. Phase 1 and Phase 2 both come with extended durations that allow traders to wait for high-probability setups instead of forcing trades. If the market experiences unusual conditions—such as prolonged consolidation or low volatility—you still have ample time to remain patient. The goal is to mirror real proprietary trading environments where quality matters more than urgency.

For Rapid Aura (1-Step):
You receive a 60-day total trading window to reach the 10% target and remain within all drawdown rules.

50% Lot Size Consistency Rule (In Funded Stage Only)

50% Consistency Rule (In Funded Stage Only)

For Ascending Aura (2-Step):
• Phase 1: 60 days to reach the 8% target.
• Phase 2: 60 days to reach the 5% target.
Both phases must be completed without violating drawdown rules.

50% Lot Size Consistency Rule (In Funded Stage Only)

40% Consistency Rule (In Funded Stage Only)

For Turbo Aura (Fast Pass):
You receive a 30-day challenge window, as this account is designed for faster evaluation with a 6% Phase 1 target.

No Consistency Rule!

50% Lot Size Consistency Rule Still Applies in Funded Stage.

Minimum Trade Duration Rule

All trades placed on a FundedAura account must remain open for a minimum of 1 full minute (60 seconds).

Any trade that is opened and closed in less than 60 seconds will be considered a violation of the Minimum Trade Duration Rule.

First Violation — Soft Breach

The first violation will result in a Soft Breach. The trader’s account will be reset to its original starting balance, allowing the trader to continue with the account.

Second Soft Breach — Payout Ineligibility

If the account receives another Soft Breach after the initial warning/reset, the account will become permanently ineligible for payouts.

This rule applies regardless of whether the trade closed manually, through a Take Profit, Stop Loss, EA, or other automated trading method.

Example:
A trade opened at 10:30:00 AM must remain open until at least 10:31:00 AM. Closing the trade at 10:30:59 AM or earlier would result in a Soft Breach.

What is a lot size Consistency Rule And General Consistency Rule?

Lot Size Consistency Rule : You can only increase/decrease lot size by 50% of your lot size from your previous

trade.

Example: If you just traded 5 lots, your next trade must be 4, 5, or 6 lots — not 10.

Why: Prevents erratic lot size jumps and encourages consistent risk management.

General Consistency Rule:

No single trading day should contribute more than 50% of your total profits(example/varies with account) at the time of requesting payout.

Why It Matters:
This rule is designed to reward traders who show steady performance over time, not just one lucky trade. It helps ensure your strategy is repeatable and lowers the risk of payout abuse.

Example:
Let’s say your total profit is $10,000 when you request payout.
To meet the 50% consistency rule, no single day should have generated more than $5,000 of that profit.

If you made $6,000 in one day and only $4,000 across the rest, you’d fail the consistency check and need to keep trading until your profits are more evenly distributed.

Indices Rule

You can only increase or decrease your lot size by 25% from your previous trade.

Example: If your previous trade was 1 lot, your next trade must be 0.75, 1.00, or 1.25 lots — not 10 lots.

Why: Prevents erratic lot-size jumps and encourages consistent risk management.

Examples: US30, NAS100, SPX, GER40, XAUUSD.

THIS IS ONLY APPLICABLE IN FUNDED STAGE!

What’s the maximum payout per cycle?

To ensure sustainable growth and responsible fund management, FundedAura applies a maximum payout cap to all challenge types.

The maximum payout per cycle is 10% of the account size, with an absolute maximum payout of $10,000 per cycle.

Examples:

• $25,000 account → Maximum payout: $2,500
• $50,000 account → Maximum payout: $5,000
• $100,000 account → Maximum payout: $10,000
• $200,000 account → 10% would be $20,000, but the maximum payout is $10,000
• $400,000 account → 10% would be $40,000, but the maximum payout is $10,000

No single payout may exceed $10,000, regardless of the account size or profits generated.

Is there a minimum number of trading days per phase?

Yes. FundedAura requires a small minimum number of trading days to ensure that the trader demonstrates consistency and does not pass phases through a single oversized trade. This requirement protects both the firm and the trader by proving that results are reproducible and not based on luck. Even if you hit the profit target early, you are welcome to use smaller, low-risk trades to satisfy the remaining days. These trades do not need to be high volume—micro-lot entries are perfectly acceptable. The purpose of this rule is to evaluate discipline, not force unnecessary trading.

 Rapid Aura (1-Step):
• Minimum: 5 trading days
You must trade at least five separate days within your 60-day window.

Ascending Aura (2-Step):
• Phase 1: 5 trading days
• Phase 2: 5 trading days
This confirms the trader can repeat good performance over multiple days.

Turbo Aura (Fast Pass):
• Minimum: 3 trading days
This model is designed for fast evaluations, but still requires proof of consistency.

Overall, the minimum trading day rule is small and trader-friendly.
It ensures you show consistency without forcing unnecessary trades.

Instant Aura Account Rules & Payout Structure

📉 3% Daily Drawdown

Rule: Don’t lose more than 3% of your balance in one day.

Example: If your Instant Aura account is $100,000, the most you can lose in a day is $3,000. If your equity drops below $97,000 at any point during the day, the account is breached.

Why: Keeps traders from blowing accounts in a single session and promotes disciplined risk management.

📉 6% Max Drawdown

Rule: Don’t lose more than 6% from your starting balance overall.

Example: On a $100,000 Instant Aura account, your account cannot drop below $94,000. Even if losses happen over several trading days, once that limit is crossed, the account is breached.

Why: Protects the firm’s capital and encourages traders to avoid unrecoverable losses.

⚖️ Lot Size Consistency

What are the rules for Giveaway Challenge Accounts?

FundedAura giveaway accounts give traders a real taste of the funded experience, but they operate under separate conditions to keep the program fair and sustainable. Whether your account came through a promo, collab, live event, or Buy One Get One offer, the following rules apply in full.

Giveaway accounts require a 5% profit target before any withdrawal can be requested. Once reached, you are eligible for a single payout only — after which the account is permanently closed. The maximum you can withdraw depends on your account size:

• $2,500 account → max payout: $250
• $5,000 account → max payout: $500
• $10,000 account → max payout: $1,000
• $25,000 account → max payout: $2,000
• $50,000 account → max payout: $3,000
• $100,000 account → max payout: $3,000
• $200,000 account → max payout: $3,500

A 50% profit split applies to the eligible amount. For example, if your account qualifies for a $1,000 payout, you receive $500. All standard FundedAura trading rules remain fully active on giveaway accounts, including the Lot Size Consistency Rule. Any account obtained through a promo code that results in a free account is also classified as a giveaway account and follows these same terms.

Purchased accounts follow FundedAura’s standard conditions and profit split structure.

Can I pass the challenge in one day if I hit the target?

FundedAura does not allow instant passes in order to prevent reckless oversized trading that could harm traders over time. Even if you achieve the profit target on the first day, you must fulfill the minimum trading day requirement to demonstrate consistent skill. This encourages traders to show that gains were not the result of abnormal market conditions or short-lived luck. Many traders use the remaining days to manage risk gently, using tiny trades until the period is complete. Once all conditions are satisfied, the system forwards your account for automated verification.

How does the scaling system work at FundedAura?

FundedAura’s scaling model rewards consistency, responsible risk management, and steady growth. When a trader reaches a predefined profit threshold on a funded account while maintaining discipline and avoiding rule violations, their account becomes eligible for an increased balance. Scaling increases the funding available to you and opens the door to larger payouts. This process is designed to reflect institutional trading paths, where traders receive more capital as they prove reliability. The more consistently you perform, the faster your account grows under the AuraScaling™ program.

How do I become eligible for my first payout?

Once you become a funded trader, your first payout becomes available after meeting the minimum trading day requirement and maintaining a compliant trading record. You must also ensure your account has generated net profit and has avoided any rule breaches. Payouts are then processed according to your chosen method and schedule. FundedAura’s system calculates all qualifying metrics automatically, ensuring transparency and accuracy. Once approved, your payout request will be sent to our finance team for secure disbursement.

What is the maximum payout per cycle?

FundedAura traders can withdraw up to 6% of their initial balance or $10,000 For their 1st payout (whichever is a bigger payout). Afterward there are no withdrawal limits. This cap ensures the stability of the firm and keeps liquidity flow healthy while still offering traders a strong earning opportunity. Traders may continue trading and accumulating profits beyond the payout limit, but only 6% of their initial balance or $10,000 per payout cycle will be payed out on your first payout. This structure protects both the trader and the firm while keeping payouts consistent, reliable, and sustainable long term.

Can I choose my payout schedule?

Yes, FundedAura allows traders to request payouts on a flexible schedule after meeting their initial eligibility criteria. After the first payout window, traders may request withdrawals on a regular recurring basis that suits their trading rhythm, whether biweekly or monthly. However, frequent small payouts can slow long-term scaling progress if capital is not allowed to compound. We recommend selecting a schedule that balances liquidity with account growth. Our support team can assist you in choosing the most strategic timeline for your goals.

Can I request a delay on my payout if I want to scale further before withdrawing?

Absolutely. Many traders choose to delay payouts so that their account balance remains higher, enabling stronger future performance and improved scaling potential. FundedAura allows traders to defer payouts at any time—simply avoid submitting a payout request and continue trading normally. As long as you remain within risk parameters and continue generating profit, your account remains in good standing. Delaying payouts is a common strategy used by professional traders aiming to accelerate their scale-up journey.

What happens if I hit the profit target but break a rule?

If a rule is broken at any point—even after reaching the profit target—the account is considered breached and does not qualify for advancement. Rule integrity is a core part of FundedAura’s evaluation model because proprietary firms need proof that traders can manage risk consistently. This policy ensures that traders do not take reckless risks after reaching the target or attempt to “speed-run” the challenge with unsustainable behavior. Although the profit target may be reached, a rule break shows the trading plan was not followed. Traders may restart the challenge and apply the lessons learned.

What if I’m inactive for more than 15 days?

On funded accounts, extended inactivity may result in temporary suspension because inactivity suggests the trader is no longer actively participating or may have abandoned the account. FundedAura reaches out before taking action to allow the trader a chance to resume. The policy helps ensure capital allocation is being used efficiently and not held by dormant accounts. In challenges, inactivity poses no risk but counts toward your overall time limit. A simple login and small trade can maintain activity if needed.

Can I request a reset or restart of a breached challenge?

Yes, traders may purchase a discounted reset if offered during promotional periods. Resets allow you to restart your challenge from the beginning after a breach, giving you another opportunity without purchasing a full-price challenge again. However, resets are only available for accounts that were breached, not for accounts still in good standing. This ensures that traders use resets strategically rather than attempting unlimited retries. All resets must comply with the same rules as new challenges.

Can I switch challenge types after purchasing?

In most cases, FundedAura does not allow switching challenge types after purchase because each challenge configuration involves different risk parameters, backend setups, and liquidity costs. Removing the ability to switch ensures consistency and prevents confusion in account tracking. However, traders who accidentally purchased the wrong model may contact support within a short window to request a special review. These exceptions are rare and handled case-by-case. We encourage traders to read all challenge details carefully before checkout.

Can I upgrade an account to a larger balance?

Upgrading an account after it has started trading is not supported because balance size affects risk models, scaling pathways, and performance metrics. Instead, traders who wish to manage larger balances may purchase an additional challenge of the desired size. Once funded, multiple funded accounts may be eligible for merging under FundedAura’s portfolio program. This structure provides flexibility while maintaining clarity and fairness across all account tiers.

Can I combine challenges or funded accounts?

FundedAura offers an account-merging process for funded traders who maintain multiple accounts with consistent performance. Once approved, these accounts can be consolidated into a larger master account that simplifies risk management and payout processes. However, challenges cannot be merged, as combining evaluation accounts introduces unfair advantages and distorts performance data. Funded accounts must also share the same risk profile and trading behavior to qualify for merging. Our support team reviews each merge request individually.

What happens if I stop trading after becoming funded?

If a funded trader stops trading for an extended period—typically more than 30 days—the account may be deactivated to free resources for active traders. Before this happens, FundedAura sends multiple notices to allow the trader an opportunity to resume activity. If inactivity continues, the account may be marked as inactive and removed from the active funding pool. Traders may reapply for funding later if they wish to return. This policy ensures that capital allocation remains efficient across the program.
