Additional Rules
No evaluation phase: Traders receive immediate access to a funded account from day one with no challenge, no profit target to reach, and no evaluation required. The account is activated the moment payment is confirmed.
No profit target: The Instant Funding PRO account has no profit goal. Traders are not required to reach any minimum return to remain active or qualify for payouts. The only obligations are to respect the daily loss limit and the maximum drawdown rule.
Daily loss limit of 3%: Unlike the Standard model, the PRO account enforces a fixed 3% daily loss limit. On a $2,500 account, this means a maximum daily loss of $75. If combined closed and open losses hit this threshold at any point during the trading day, no further trading is permitted until the next daily reset.
Maximum drawdown of 6%: The total loss limit is set at 6% of the initial account balance. On a $2,500 account, the maximum allowable loss from the starting balance is $150. If account equity drops to or below this level at any time including floating losses, the account is immediately breached.
Static maximum drawdown: Unlike the Standard model's trailing drawdown, the PRO maximum drawdown is calculated from the initial account balance and does not move as profits grow. This means early profits do not tighten the loss floor, giving traders a stable and predictable risk boundary throughout the account's lifetime.
Payout on demand: Traders can request a withdrawal at any time with no minimum waiting period. Payouts are processed as requested, giving traders full flexibility over when they access their profits.
Profit split up to 100%: AquaFunded offers up to 100% profit split on Instant Funding PRO accounts. The exact percentage available depends on the plan selected at checkout.
Leverage: 1:50 for Forex, 1:10 for Indices and Commodities, and 1:2 for Crypto, identical to the Standard model. Leverage applies uniformly across all instruments regardless of account size.
Weekend and overnight holding: Permitted with no restrictions or add-ons required, offering full flexibility for swing traders who hold positions across sessions and weekends.
News trading: Permitted on Instant Funding accounts with no time-based restrictions around high-impact events, unlike funded challenge accounts where a 5-minute window before and after red folder news applies.
EAs and trade copiers allowed: Expert Advisors and trade copiers are permitted as long as all trading complies with AquaFunded's risk and account rules. Hidden EAs, arbitrage-based strategies, tick scalping, and high-frequency trading are strictly prohibited.
Hedging within the same account: Permitted. Hedging between multiple accounts or across different accounts is not allowed and will result in a breach.
Inactivity rule: Traders must place at least one trade within any 30-day period from the moment they place their first trade. Failure to do so results in the account being marked inactive and breached.
PRO vs Standard trade-off: The PRO model offers double the maximum drawdown buffer (6% vs 3%) and adds a static rather than trailing structure, giving traders more room to recover from losing sequences. However, the introduction of a 3% daily loss cap adds a secondary constraint that the Standard model does not have, meaning a single volatile session can shut down trading for the rest of the day even if the total drawdown is still well within limits.
Tight dollar limits on $2,500: With a $75 daily loss limit and a $150 maximum drawdown, the absolute dollar buffers on this account size are extremely small. A single trade with a standard lot size can breach the daily limit in just a few pips of adverse movement, making micro or nano lot sizing essential at this account level.
Daily reset discipline required: The 3% daily loss limit resets each day, but a trader who hits the cap consecutively across multiple days can rapidly approach the 6% total drawdown ceiling. Two maximum daily loss sessions back to back consume the entire account drawdown allowance, leaving no further room for error.
No second chance: If either the 3% daily loss or the 6% maximum drawdown is breached, the account closes immediately with no retry mechanism included. A new account must be purchased to continue trading.
Aqua Elite qualification requires $20,000 in withdrawals: Reaching Bronze tier requires a minimum of $20,000 in total withdrawals from a single funded account. On a $2,500 account, this represents an 800% return requirement before any Elite benefits are unlocked, making the path to Elite perks significantly longer at this account size.

Scaling Plan
Performance-based balance increase: Every time a trader generates 12% profit within a 3-month period, the account balance increases by 25% of the starting balance, allowing traders to manage progressively larger capital.
Maximum capital ceiling: Through the Aqua Scaling Plan, traders can grow their funded account all the way up to $4,000,000, making it one of the highest capital ceilings in the prop firm industry.
Repeatable growth cycles: The 12% in 3 months requirement resets after each scale-up, meaning the process can be repeated indefinitely until the $4,000,000 ceiling is reached.
Aqua Elite progression: Alongside account scaling, traders can advance through the Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers of the Aqua Elite program, unlocking additional perks such as monthly salaries, mentoring sessions, priority support, and higher maximum allocations as their performance proves consistent over time.
Consistent rules throughout scaling: The daily loss limit, maximum drawdown limit, and all trading rules remain unchanged as the account scales. Only the dollar amounts increase proportionally with the new balance.
Elite tier benefits stack on top of scaling: The Aqua Elite program does not replace the scaling plan but adds career-level benefits on top of it, including a $1,000 monthly salary at Silver tier and $3,000 monthly salary at Gold tier, creating a dual-growth pathway unique to AquaFunded.
