Strengths & watch-outs
What works in your favour, and the quirks, fees, hidden rules and operational catches we found in AquaFunded’s rules and FAQ. Always verify with the firm before purchase.
Strengths
- Generous max-drawdown buffer
- Static (not trailing) drawdown — equity gains stay banked
- EAs/automation officially allowed
- High payout split (Up to 100%)
Watch out for
- Trailing drawdown — equity gains can shift the breach line
- Tight daily drawdown (see at a glance) — verify your worst-day before committing
- Consistency rule applies (see at a glance)
- Trustpilot has suspended this firm's TrustScore for a breach of its guidelines (Trustpilot says it removed fake reviews for this company). No star rating is shown until Trustpilot reinstates it — 1,207 reviews remain on file.
- CFD Instant floating-loss caps: Pro closes the account at -2% (-1% on $300K/$400K), Flex at -1%, no strikes. Standard bought from 8 Sep 2026: 3 strikes at -1% (split cut to 50%, 25%, then closed).
- $100K+ funded accounts capped at $10k per payout (first 2 payouts only) — the firm's Rewards article scopes this to "$100K accounts or larger", so it bites a whole tier lower than a $200K threshold would suggest; the cap lifts from the third reward onward
- Every payout carries a 3% processing fee deducted from the requested amount, and the minimum funded-account payout is $100.

Crypto payouts are available under $5,000; amounts of $500 or more can go through Rise (bank transfer or crypto). The firm guarantees processing within 24 business hours or adds $1,000 to the payout.
Published holidays are non-business days and push processing to the next business day.
- 14-day payout frequency (longer than competitors)
Show 15 more watch-outsShow 10 more watch-outsShow less
- Trustpilot flagged April 2026 for fake review removal — reputation risk
- 30-day inactivity = permanent deactivation
- AquaMan is the firm's cheapest route to a 2% profit target, but the firm documents it as a LIMITED-TIME DROP, not a standing product: its own help centre states "AquaMan drops randomly on two weekends per month for a limited time only during that weekend" and points traders at the website and Discord so they do not miss it.
Read moreShow less
That is why the pricing widget renders the AquaMan selector button with class "hide".
Caveat in the other direction: on 2026-08-17 all 11 sizes ($2.5K-$400K) were purchasable at list price through the firm's own checkout API, so the drop window may have been open, or the SKUs may simply stay live between drops — do not count on being able to buy one at an arbitrary moment.
The $400K size runs a tighter 5% maximum loss than the 6% on every smaller size
- Scaling: 12% profit in 3 months → 25% account increase; up to $4M total
- Scalping is allowed, just not the fastest kind.
Read moreShow less
On CFD accounts, tick scalping, high-frequency trading and arbitrage are banned: trades held under 2 minutes may be classed as tick scalping, and funded-account profits from them can be removed.
Profits from any CFD trade using more than 80% of available margin are also deducted, and repeated or severe violations can lead to an account reset or breach.
On futures (AquaFutures), trading bots and fully automated systems are banned (semi-automated tools only while you actively manage the trade), and at least half of your closed trades, and half of your profits, must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.
- FUTURES is a separate line with its OWN account and login (app.aquafutures.io) — aquafutures.io redirects to aquafunded.com/futures.

The split there is 90% on every model the firm's widget sells (Beginner and Instant Pro at 100% are hidden in the widget since 2026-09-19), not the 100% of the CFD side. Platforms: Tradovate + DeepCharts.
- Beginner is a FUTURES-only model, but Flex exists in BOTH markets.
Read moreShow less
CFD side: One-Step Flex lists at $60 (5K) / $100 (10K) / $191 (25K) / $279 (50K) / $447 (100K) with a 10% target, 3% daily loss and 12% maximum loss (homepage widget; the firm cut its list prices on 2026-11-06, after the 2026-10-24 rise had taken these to $64.62 / $107.70 / $205.70 / $300.47 / $481.39).
Futures side: Flex now has a 'risk option' switch in the firm's widget.
The default, with NO daily loss limit, lists at $156 (50K) / $265 (100K) / $427 (150K) (since 2026-11-06; $168 / $285.39 / $459.85 from 2026-10-24) and pays 90% after 5 winning days of $200 / $250 / $300, with a reward cap of $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,000 and one funded account at a time.
The cheaper version with a $1,200 / $1,700 / $3,000 daily loss limit lists at $131 / $191 / $365 (since 2026-11-06; $141.08 / $205.70 / $393.08 from 2026-10-24) and pays after 5 winning days of $200 / $250 / $300. Both carry a 50% consistency rule in the challenge only (was 40%).
Beginner ($66.67-$246.67, 25K-150K) keeps its 100% split and weekly payouts but is hidden in the firm's widget and only reachable at checkout.
- CFD challenges are sold on MT5, Match-Trader, TradeLocker and cTrader at the same price. The old +$15 cTrader surcharge is gone: cTrader SKUs carry the same checkout price as their MT5 twins.

1-Step Pro ($59-$899) is no longer in the firm's selector widget but is still for sale at checkout. 2-Step Elite (8% then 5% target, 4% daily, 12% maximum loss) is now priced in the widget and matches checkout.
New on 2026-09-27: Instant Flex (5K-100K, $119-$999 list) is the only instant account with no consistency rule, in exchange for a 2% daily and 4% maximum loss, a hard 1% floating-loss limit (the account is closed for good if open trades together reach a loss of 1% of the initial balance), 7 minimum trading days and a cap of 5% of the initial balance on every reward (profit above the cap is removed from the account).
- The firm runs TWO price sheets. The homepage 'Choose your Account' widget and the checkout agree (78 of 80 SKUs exact on 2026-09-19).
Read moreShow less
The older calculator on aquafunded.com/forex-funded-account still shows the pre-September prices, e.g. 2-Step Pro 5K $29 against $20 at checkout, next to a stale 'SUMMERCLEAR 40% OFF' banner. Trust the checkout. Instant funding now starts at $30 list for 2.5K ($22.50 with HONOR).
- Futures is a separate desk ("AquaFutures") on Tradovate or DeepCharts (same price on both), not the MT5/cTrader CFD platforms.
Read moreShow less
The widget sells One Step (Standard, and Flex with or without a daily loss limit, 50K-150K), the new Daily model (50K-150K, daily payouts) and Instant Standard (25K-150K); Beginner and Instant Pro are hidden but still at checkout.
There is no 2-Step, 3-Step, AquaMan or Pay Later futures product. Drawdown is set in dollars per size, not as a flat percentage, so the effective max loss tightens as the account grows (One Step Standard: 4% at 50K, 3.33% at 150K).
How to play AquaFunded
Model-specific observations about their rules and mechanics. Educational only — not trading or investment advice.
2-Step Pro $50k for the 90% split (best in class). Wave Stop on funded 2-Step Standard/Pro (and 1-Step Standard): a -2% total floating loss auto-closes all positions; 1st hit cuts your split to 50%, 2nd breaches the account.
Read moreShow less
2-Step Elite bought from 22 Oct 2026 is tighter: Wave Stop at -1% floating loss with 3 strikes (split 50%, then 25%, then permanently breached). Forces disciplined position sizing.
AVOID CFD Instant Pro and Flex: Pro closes the account at a -2% floating loss (-1% on $300K/$400K), Flex at -1%. Instant Standard gives 3 strikes at -1% (split 50%, then 25%, then closed).

AquaFunded — frequently asked questions
Does AquaFunded have a discount code?
Yes — use code WELCOME for 50% off your first purchase + $100 extra on your first reward (new customers only) at checkout. You can also try HONOR. Firms rotate codes, so test it before paying; if it fails, check our codes page for the latest.
Is AquaFunded legit and safe?
Trustpilot has suspended AquaFunded's score for a breach of its guidelines and removed a number of fake reviews, so no star rating is shown at all; 1,207 reviews remain on file. PropFirmMatch scored it 4.4/5 across 321 reviews at our last snapshot. That is a reason to read the rules closely, not proof of fraud - we re-verified AquaFunded's published rules and pricing on 2026-10-30. As with any prop firm, read the current rules and payout terms before buying, and start with a smaller account size.
Does AquaFunded have a consistency rule?
1-Step Pro 25%; 2-Step Pro 50% on the funded account; Instant Std 15%; Instant Pro 20% (limited-time, normally 15%); Instant Flex none; AquaMan 15%.
What is AquaFunded's profit split?
AquaFunded's profit split is Up to 100%.
