AquaFutures

Firm notes

Futures-only prop firm (site now branded AquaFunded). Real current lineup, confirmed via owner-pasted screenshots of the live checkout configurator: One Step evaluation in 3 model types (Beginner, Standard, Flex), plus a separate Instant (no evaluation) product. An "Instant" vs "One Step" toggle exists at the top level; a legacy "Two Step" model was also seen in help-center article titles but not in the checkout tool itself this round -- not modeled. - **Beginner**: 100% profit split, "cheapest option" (per its own badge). All 4 sizes ($25K-$150K). Clean 6% profit target at every size. Has a real per-size daily loss limit (unlike Standard/Flex, which don't). 40% consistency rule during the challenge. - **Standard**: "No daily loss limit, 1 day pass" (per its own badge). Only 3 sizes -- $50K/$100K/$150K, no $25K offered. No consistency rule during the challenge (confirmed directly, a real difference from Beginner and from Flex's larger sizes). - **Flex**: "No consistency on funded, payout on demand" (per its own badge) -- implies consistency exists during the challenge, which is confirmed at $100K/$150K (40%) but NOT at $25K/$50K, where the challenge panel showed no consistency rule at all -- a real per-size exception (the same kind of "smallest size breaks the pattern" quirk already seen at FuturesElite and TopOne). Profit target doesn't cleanly resolve to a flat percentage across sizes (roughly 4.7-5%) -- entered as the exact dollar figures shown, not implied percentages. All 4 sizes. - **Instant**: no evaluation, skip straight to a funded account. 100% profit split. EOD drawdown. 20% consistency rule. Weekly rewards cycle. Only $50K's full numbers were captured from what was pasted -- $100K is offered per the size selector but its numbers weren't shown. Real gap: no funded-stage numbers were shown for Beginner/Standard/Flex (the screenshots only covered "Challenge rules Ā· phase 1") -- no funded stage_rules_versions rows exist for these 3 types. Drawdown basis (EOD vs intraday) wasn't explicitly labeled in any One-Step screenshot either -- left unspecified for Standard/Flex; Beginner's was confirmed EOD trailing from an earlier, separate general search result (not this round's screenshots), so entered with that caveat. Source: owner-pasted screenshots of aquafunded.com's checkout configurator (12 images covering Beginner/Standard/Flex across all sizes, plus Instant $50K), reviewed 2026-09-04. Canonical futures source (2026-09-07): AquaFutures runs its own dedicated futures help center at intercom.help/aquafutures-help-center -- distinct from help.aquafunded.com, which is the firm's separate CFD side and was the source of several earlier mismatched figures (its 15%/20% consistency numbers belong to CFDs, not futures). Use the intercom.help domain for any future AquaFutures research. Every current futures model (Beginner, Standard, Flex, Instant Standard) settles drawdown End-of-Day, confirmed directly -- the sole possible exception is "Instant Pro," a separate product not modeled in this database at all, which third-party coverage suggests may trail intraday instead; unconfirmed against AquaFutures' own site. RESOLVED 2026-09-07 (was flagged unconfirmed in the 0042 corrections): Instant Pro is confirmed real and genuinely distinct from Instant Standard -- it is the one AquaFutures model that uses continuous intraday drawdown monitoring rather than EOD, confirmed directly from the firm's own article.
