$9,000 profit target is the largest in the Beginner lineup: With 9 Mini contracts available and a hard daily breach of $3,750, generating $9,000 requires sustained disciplined execution across multiple sessions while respecting both the daily limit and the EOD floor simultaneously.
Daily loss limit of $3,750 — hard breach: On a $150,000 account with 9 Mini contracts, a 6-point adverse ES move at full capacity generates $2,700 ($300 per point per contract) — consuming 72% of the daily limit in six price points. Partial sizing during volatile sessions is essential.
EOD maximum drawdown of $5,000 (3.33%): The initial floor is $145,000. With 9 Mini contracts, profitable sessions rapidly raise the EOD floor. A session closing at $154,000 raises the floor to $149,000 — and any subsequent session closing below $149,000 terminates the account, even if the current balance is still above the starting level.
40% consistency: A single day generating $3,600 or more (40% of $9,000) blocks evaluation completion until total profits exceed $9,000. This is an achievable single-session result at 9 Mini contracts on a strong directional day — making the 40% rule a realistic operational constraint rather than a theoretical one.
Contract scaling to 9 Minis requires $6,000 in funded profits: Maximum capacity is only accessible after generating $6,000 in funded profits. The first and second payout cycles are completed well below full capacity, meaning the headline $9,000 evaluation capacity translates to a staged experience in the funded stage.
$580 minimum daily profit for funded qualification: The highest minimum daily profit threshold in the AquaFutures Beginner lineup. Only days generating $580 or more count toward the 5-day payout requirement. Lower-profit sessions — even if net positive — do not qualify, extending the effective timeline to each payout.
Platforms: Tradovate, Volumetrica.
