Additional Rules

No daily loss limit: The sole risk boundary is the $2,000 intraday trailing drawdown. Full session-level risk management is the trader's responsibility.
Intraday trailing drawdown of $2,000 (4%) — real-time: Starting at $50,000, the initial floor is $48,000. Every new equity high raises the floor immediately in real time, including from unrealized open positions. If a trade reaches $51,500 in equity, the floor rises to $49,500 instantly. A subsequent reversal back to $50,000 leaves only $1,500 of buffer — despite being profitable from the session start.
15% consistency rule: On a $50,000 Instant Pro account with a $3,000 first payout buffer, a single day generating $450 or more requires $3,000+ in total profits before payout eligibility. The 15% rule is the most restrictive consistency threshold in the AquaFutures lineup and applies without exception across every payout cycle.
7 winning days per cycle (min $100/day): Days below $100 do not count. Consistent modest daily performance is required before each withdrawal.
Contract scaling starts at 1 Mini: Despite the 3-Mini capacity, funded traders begin at 1 Mini / 10 Micros. Full 3-Mini capacity requires $2,000 in funded profits. Given the first payout requires $3,000, full contract access is typically unlocked during the first payout cycle but only after meaningful profit accumulation.
Intraday trailing floor rises fastest at 3 Minis: With 3 Mini ES contracts, a single 1-point move generates $150 of equity change — raising or compressing the trailing floor by $150 per point. A 13-point intraday rally at full capacity raises the floor by $1,950 — 97.5% of the entire $2,000 buffer. Partial sizing and active position management are non-negotiable at this contract capacity.
Platforms: Tradovate, Volumetrica.

Scaling Plan

No evaluation — immediate funded access from day one.
Progressive contract scaling: Funded profits below $1,000 → 1 Mini / 10 Micros. $1,000–$2,000 → 2 Mini / 20 Micros. $2,000–$4,000 → 3 Mini / 30 Micros (maximum). Scaling updates at the next market open after EOD profits cross each threshold.
Micro contracts fully supported.
Decreasing payout buffers: First 6% ($3,000), second 5% ($2,500), third+ 4% ($2,000). Reward cap: $1,500 per cycle. Min payout: $250. Min daily profit: $100.
100% profit split. Up to $450,000 across stacked accounts.
