AquaFunded Instant Funding Standard

Simulated account

Per AquaFunded all accounts run in a simulated environment with virtual funds and real quotes; “funded” accounts are not live accounts. Eligible payouts are real.

3 %

from the higher of balance and equity at day start

Reset: 00:00 UTC

a breach ends the account

3% of the higher of balance and equity at the 00:00 UTC reset (not of the starting balance); exceeding it is a hard breach.

5 % · trailing (end of day)

The floor follows the highest end-of-day balance up and never drops.

Stops: Floor = higher of balance and equity at the 00:00 UTC reset minus 5% of the starting balance; only rises, never falls. AquaFunded names no lock level.

≤ 15 % · best day ÷ profit since last payout

payout waits until met

The best trading day must be below 15% of total profits in the current payout period (equal or more blocks the request). Not a breach: keep trading until the share is met. Firm's example: best day USD 1,500 → total profit above USD 10,000 needed. AquaFunded does not say whether losing days reduce the base.

5 days

Day with at least 0.5% profit on the starting balance; days need not be consecutive.

90 %, up to 100 %

100% with the add-on 'Lifetime Profit Split 100%' at checkout (price shown only in the cart, not captured).

14 days

First request 14 days after the first trade on the “funded” account, provided minimum days and all rules are met, balance above the starting balance and no open positions. Checkout add-on: 'Rewards On Demand' (first payout on demand).

The aquafunded.com price table shows 'First reward on-demand, then bi-weekly' without mentioning an add-on; per the help centre the earlier first date applies only with the add-on.

every 14 days

Every 14 days, counted from the first trade after the previous payout. Add-on 'Rewards On Demand': on demand.

USD 100

Via Rise from USD 500; crypto for amounts below USD 5,000.

On accounts of USD 100,000 and above the first two rewards are capped at USD 10,000 each; no limit afterwards.

3% processing fee on every payout, deducted from the requested amount.

Scaling plan: 12% profit within 3 months → account raised by 25% of the starting size, repeatable up to USD 4M; subject to review. “Funded” accounts can be merged up to USD 400,000 (Instant accounts cannot).

At least one trade every 30 days (from the first trade), otherwise the account is breached.

restricted

News trading allowed, but profit from trades opened or closed from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after high-impact news (red folder, FOMC) is capped at 0.5% of the starting balance per payout cycle; the excess is removed, no violation. Applies to accounts opened after 27 Apr 2026; older accounts: no news trading on “funded” accounts.

The firm does not say whether the amount is per side or for the whole trade, so it is not directly comparable with a round-trip value.
