Futures Rewards & Payout Structure
At AquaFutures, our payout system is designed to provide traders with flexibility while maintaining sustainable account growth and responsible risk management.
Each funded model has its own payout structure, caps, profit requirements, and eligibility conditions tailored to different trading styles.
AquaFutures currently offers four account models:
Standard — On-demand payouts with a funded buffer and increasing payout caps.
Flex — Payouts after 5 Winning Days with no funded buffer requirement.
Daily — Designed for traders seeking daily access to profits.
Instant — Immediate funded access with on-demand payouts and no funded buffer requirement.
How Do Payouts Affect My Drawdown?
After any approved payout or withdrawal, your drawdown floor will automatically lock at:
Starting Balance + $100
This ensures that your account remains active and prevents withdrawals down to the exact breach level.
Examples
Account Size | Locked Drawdown Floor |
$25,000 | $25,100 |
$50,000 | $50,100 |
$100,000 | $100,100 |
$150,000 | $150,100 |
Payout Comparison by Account Type
