Additional Rules
Single-phase evaluation with a 5% profit target: The Standard requires $1,250 in profits on a $25,000 account — a lower target than the Beginner's 6% ($1,500). Combined with no daily loss limit and no consistency rule during evaluation, the Standard offers the most flexible evaluation experience in the AquaFutures lineup. The account can be passed in as little as 1 day.
No daily loss limit during evaluation: The Standard evaluation imposes no daily loss cap. The only risk boundary is the $1,000 EOD maximum drawdown. Traders have maximum session-level flexibility to manage positions according to their own risk parameters.
No consistency rule during evaluation: Traders can generate the entire $1,250 profit target in a single session without any consistency restriction. This is a significant advantage over the Beginner, which requires managing the 40% consistency rule throughout the evaluation.
EOD maximum drawdown of $1,000 (4%): The initial floor is $24,000. Session closes at new highs raise the floor permanently. Breach at EOD terminates the evaluation.
40% consistency rule activates in the funded stage only: Once funded, no single trading day may represent 40% or more of total profits when a payout is requested. On a $25,000 Standard funded account with a $1,100 balance target ($26,100), a single day generating $440 or more (40% of $1,100) requires total profits exceeding $1,100 before payout eligibility.
5 winning days per funded payout cycle (min $120/day): Days below $120 do not count. Balance target of $26,100 must also be met before any withdrawal.
Funded payout cap of $850: The $850 cap per cycle is lower than the Beginner's equivalent, reflecting the Standard's lower profit target and on-demand flexibility. Despite the lower cap, on-demand payouts without a fixed weekly schedule allow frequent, flexible withdrawal requests.
No scaling rule in funded — fixed contract limit: Unlike Beginner funded accounts where contracts start lower and scale up, Standard funded accounts maintain a fixed 2 Mini / 20 Micros limit throughout. There is no progression mechanism tied to profits — the contract limit stays the same from the first funded trade to the last.
1.25:1 PT:DD ratio is favorable: Generating $1,250 with $1,000 of EOD buffer gives more room relative to target than the Beginner's tighter structures. A single $500 adverse day consumes half the buffer but leaves the remaining $500 still capable of absorbing further losses before breach.
Platforms: Tradovate, Volumetrica.

Scaling Plan
No contract scaling plan in Standard accounts: Unlike Beginner accounts, the One Step Standard does not use a progressive scaling plan in the funded stage. The funded account maintains the same contract limit throughout the entire lifecycle without profit-based scaling tiers.
Balance target for funded payout eligibility: The funded account must reach $26,100 ($1,100 above starting balance) before the first reward can be requested. Subsequent payouts are on-demand with 5 winning days required per cycle. Reward cap: $850. Min payout: $500. Min daily profit: $120.
90% profit split: The Standard account pays 90% of eligible profits to the trader — 10% less than the Beginner, reflecting the Standard's more trader-friendly evaluation terms (no daily limit, faster pass).
On-demand payouts: There is no fixed weekly schedule. Rewards can be requested whenever all eligibility criteria are met.
Maximum funded allocation: up to $450,000 across stacked accounts.
