AquaFutures Rules Explained (2026): Drawdown, Daily Loss, Consistency & Payouts

Overview: Standard, Daily and Instant

Standard needs $3,000 on 50K with a $2,000 end-of-day trailing drawdown, a $1,000 soft daily loss and 4 minis or 40 micros. There is no minimum day count and no consistency rule in the evaluation, so it can be passed in a day. The funded account has a 40% consistency rule and on-demand payouts above a $2,100 buffer.

Daily has the same target, drawdown, daily loss and contracts on 50K, adds 40% consistency in the evaluation and drops it when funded. Funded payouts can be taken daily, up to $1,100 a day on 50K.

Instant skips the evaluation: 25K to 150K, a $2,000 end-of-day drawdown on 50K, a $1,250 soft daily loss, 4 minis, and 20% consistency at every payout.

None of these has a monthly or activation fee. The help center does not print purchase prices, and the futures landing page showed placeholders when checked, so check checkout. The help center also has a Beginner account article (target $3,000, $2,500 drawdown, 100% split on 50K) next to several pages marked as old; confirm it is still sold. AquaFunded's forex accounts are on the AquaFunded rules page.

Rules that end the account

Max loss

$2,000 end-of-day trailing on 50K, based on the closed balance; open profit does not raise it. On Standard and Daily it stops trailing once an end-of-day balance reaches $52,100, fixing the floor at $50,100, and it sits at $50,100 after any payout. On Instant the article states the $50,100 lock after a payout only.

Daily loss

Soft on every plan: open positions close and the account is disabled for the rest of the day, then resets the next trading day. $1,000 on Standard and Daily 50K, $1,250 on Instant 50K.

Contracts

4 minis or 40 micros on 50K from the start, no scaling. 10 micros count as 1 mini.

Prohibited

Under 50% of profit may come from trades held under 10 seconds, and at least half your closed trades must be held longer. 100 or more trades in a day is not allowed. Average risk-to-reward must be above 0.3R. Copying other traders or signal providers is prohibited; copying between your own accounts is allowed.

Payout rules

All plans pay 90% (Beginner 100%), process within 24 business hours and pay by Rise or crypto. Consistency only blocks a payout; it never breaches.

Standard funded: on demand once the balance is above $52,100. $500 minimum. Caps on 50K: $2,000 for the first payout, $2,500 after. Best day 40% or less.
Daily funded: daily above $52,100, up to $1,100 a day on 50K. After the second payout you need $550 of new net profit between payouts. No consistency rule.
Instant: $3,000 of profit for the first payout on 50K and $2,500 for each after, best day 20% or less each time. On demand, $500 minimum, $2,000 cap. The target and consistency reset after each payout.
The help center lists both a $500 minimum payout and a $100 minimum for crypto withdrawals on Standard and Daily. Plan on $500.

News and trading hours

News trading is allowed on Standard, Daily and Instant. AquaFutures says it may restrict trading around Tier-1 releases depending on conditions, without giving a fixed window.

The rules articles do not state a daily flat-by time or a weekend rule, and strategies that exploit overnight gaps are prohibited. Confirm the close time in your dashboard before you hold a position into the session break.

Worked example on a 50K

On a Daily 50K evaluation you start with a $48,000 floor and a $1,000 soft daily limit. You close day 1 at $51,000 (floor $49,000) and day 2 at $52,100, which locks the floor at $50,100. Your best day was $1,100 of $2,100, so you keep going. Day 3 closes at $53,000: $3,000 total, best day about 37%. You pass.

On the funded Daily account, a $53,000 balance is $900 above the $52,100 threshold, so you can withdraw $900, under the $1,100 daily cap, and keep $810. The floor stays at $50,100.

How Proof tracks it

Proof's AquaFutures presets run an end-of-day floor on closed balance that locks at $50,100 and show the soft daily limit beside it. Risk Guard sizes contracts against the fixed limit.

Proof checks your best day against 40% or 20%, shows the $52,100 payout threshold and your cap, tracks the new-profit requirement on Daily accounts and flags trades held under 10 seconds. Proof warns and tracks; it does not close trades at your broker.
