The short answer

AquaFutures is AquaFunded's futures arm: four one-step evaluations and Instant funding, all with an end-of-day max loss, no activation fee and a 90% split. The models differ in when consistency applies and how payouts are capped.

Key facts:

Every 50K evaluation: $3,000 target, $2,000 EOD max loss, 4 minis, no minimum days.
Standard 50K: $1,000 daily loss, no consistency until funded (40% then), $160 list.
Flex 50K: $1,200 daily loss or none, 50% consistency in the challenge only, $131 or $156 list.
Daily 50K: $1,000 daily loss, payout requests every day up to $1,100, $113 list.

Watch out:

Flex No Daily Loss pays at most 3 rewards ($1,000 cap each on the 50K), then the funded account closes.
Every daily loss limit is soft (trading stops for the day), but the EOD max loss still ends the account.
After any payout the max loss floor locks at the starting balance + $100.
Under 50% of profits may come from trades held less than 10 seconds.

Full summary

AquaFunded sells futures accounts under the AquaFutures name in four one-step models plus Instant funding. Every evaluation has a 6% target ($3,000 on the 50K), an end-of-day (EOD) trailing max loss and no minimum trading days. On the 50K: One Step Standard has a $1,000 soft daily loss limit, a $2,000 EOD drawdown, no consistency rule in the evaluation (40% once funded) and lists at $160; One Step Flex has a $1,200 daily loss limit, $2,000 EOD, a 50% consistency rule in the challenge only and lists at $131, or $156 for the version with no daily loss limit (which pays at most 3 rewards per funded account); Daily has a $1,000 daily loss limit, $2,000 EOD, 40% consistency in the evaluation only, daily payouts up to $1,100, and lists at $113. Instant skips the evaluation ($453.34 on the 50K, 20% consistency on every payout). The split is 90% and there is no activation fee on any model. Rules are from the AquaFutures help center (articles updated 30 September and 5 October 2026); prices are the list prices in the configurator on aquafunded.com/futures, read on 20 October 2026.

Plain-language terms

EOD max lossAquaFutures' maximum drawdown: it trails your closed balance at the end of each day (not intraday highs) and stops at a lock level.

Soft breachThe daily loss limit closes positions and stops trading until the next day; the account is not failed.

Consistency ruleYour best day must stay under a share of total profits: 40% or 50% in some evaluations, 40% or 20% for some payouts.

BufferBalance a funded Standard or Daily account must exceed before profits above it can be paid out ($52,100 on the 50K).

Where these figures come from

Rules are copied from the AquaFutures help center (intercom.help/aquafutures-help-center), the futures support site AquaFunded links from its futures page: the Standard, Daily and Instant rules articles (updated 30 September 2026) and the two Flex FAQs (updated 5 October 2026). Articles marked '{Old}' in the same help center are not used. Prices are the list prices in the account configurator that aquafunded.com/futures loads, read on 20 October 2026; the figures in its rule tables match the articles. AquaFunded also sells CFD and crypto accounts; this guide covers only the futures products.

What this means for you: Rules from the AquaFutures help center (updated 30 September and 5 October 2026), prices from the aquafunded.com/futures configurator on 20 October 2026.

One Step Standard: no consistency rule until you are funded

The target is 6% ($3,000 on the 50K) with no minimum days and no consistency rule, so the evaluation can be passed in one day. The 50K has a $1,000 daily loss limit (a soft breach: positions close and trading stops until the next day) and a $2,000 EOD trailing max loss that locks at $52,100. Once funded, payouts are on demand with a 40% consistency rule, a $2,100 buffer on the 50K, a $500 minimum and a cap of $2,000 on the first payout and $2,500 after that. The 50K lists at $160.

What this means for you: Standard 50K: $3,000 target, $1,000 daily loss, $2,000 EOD max loss, 40% consistency only once funded.

Flex and Flex No Daily Loss: 50% consistency in the challenge only

Flex is the same one-step challenge with a 50% consistency rule in the challenge (so at least 2 days) and none once funded. You choose a version: with a $1,200 daily loss limit on the 50K (list $131; rewards up to 50% of profits, capped at $2,000 per request, unlimited rewards, up to 5 funded accounts) or with no daily loss limit (list $156; capped at $1,000 per reward, 3 rewards and the funded account closes, one funded account at a time, no path to live). Both need 5 winning days of at least $200 (50K) per reward, and the $2,000 EOD max loss locks at the starting balance.

What this means for you: Flex 50K: $1,200 daily loss ($131) or none ($156, 3 rewards max).

Daily: payouts every day, with a cap

Daily has a 40% consistency rule in the evaluation only, a $1,000 daily loss limit and a $2,000 EOD max loss on the 50K, locking at $52,100. Once funded you can ask for a payout every eligible day, up to $1,100 a day on the 50K, above a $52,100 balance, with $550 of new net profit needed from the second payout on. The 50K lists at $113, the lowest of the four evaluations.

What this means for you: Daily 50K: payout requests every day up to $1,100, $113 list.

Instant: no evaluation, 20% consistency on every payout

Instant accounts come in 25K-150K; the 25K has a $1,000 daily loss limit and a $1,500 EOD max loss. On the 50K the daily loss limit is $1,250 and the EOD max loss $2,000; the first payout needs $3,000 profit and later ones $2,500, each capped at $2,000, and no single day may reach 20% of the cycle's profits. The 50K lists at $453.34 (25K $287).

What this means for you: Instant 50K: $3,000 first payout goal, $2,000 cap, $453.34 list.

Rules shared by every model

The split is 90% from the first payout, with no activation fee and no monthly fee. News trading is allowed. Less than 50% of profits may come from trades held under 10 seconds. Trade copiers are allowed only between accounts you own; copying another trader or signals is prohibited. After any payout the max loss floor locks at the starting balance + $100 ($50,100 on the 50K).

What this means for you: 90% split, no activation fee, news allowed, floor locks at start + $100 after a payout.
