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 Standard account has no profit goal. Traders are not required to reach any minimum return to remain active or qualify for payouts. The only obligation is to respect the drawdown rule.
No daily loss limit: The Standard Instant Funding model does not impose any daily loss cap. Traders can lose more than a fixed percentage in a single session without triggering a daily breach, as long as the 3% maximum drawdown is not hit.
Maximum drawdown of 3% trailing: The sole risk boundary is a 3% trailing drawdown calculated from the highest equity point ever reached. On a $25,000 account, this means a maximum absolute loss of $750 from peak equity at any given time.
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 accounts, which is among the highest in the industry. 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. Leverage is lower than on evaluation accounts, meaning position sizing must be adjusted accordingly to avoid overexposure relative to the tight 3% drawdown.
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.
Trailing drawdown from the first trade: The 3% trailing threshold begins following equity from the very first trade. There is no static warm-up period. Any early gain immediately tightens the loss floor, meaning an open position that runs to a profit and then reverses can move the drawdown level upward even before the trade closes.
Peak equity trap: Any equity high, including unrealized floating profit on open trades, moves the trailing drawdown floor upward permanently. A trader who holds a trade to a floating high before it reverses may find the drawdown threshold has tightened significantly even if the trade eventually closes at breakeven or a small loss.
No second chance: If the 3% trailing drawdown is breached at any point, the account closes immediately with no retry mechanism included. A new account must be purchased to continue trading.
Tight dollar buffer on $25,000: With only 3% maximum drawdown, the absolute loss ceiling is $750 from the highest equity point ever reached. A single adverse move on a larger position can consume a significant share of this buffer, requiring disciplined lot sizing and strict risk-per-trade management at all times.
Scaling requires 12% over 3 months: While there is no profit target to remain active, growing the account through the scaling plan requires generating 12% profit within a rolling 3-month window. Traders who trade conservatively or inconsistently may find the scaling trigger difficult to reach repeatedly.
Aqua Elite qualification requires $20,000 in withdrawals: Reaching Bronze tier, the first level of Aqua Elite, requires a minimum of $20,000 in total withdrawals from a single funded account. On a $25,000 account, this represents an 80% return requirement before any Elite benefits are unlocked, which remains a meaningful performance bar over multiple payout cycles.

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 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.
