Overview of Flex No Daily Loss Limit Rules

To qualify for an AquaFunded Futures Flex Funded Account, traders must reach the required Profit Target, satisfy the 50% Challenge Consistency Rule, remain within the Maximum Overall Drawdown and comply with all AquaFunded Futures trading rules.
​

There are no minimum trading days, meaning traders may complete the Flex Challenge as soon as all requirements have been satisfied.
​

There is no Daily Loss Limit during either the Challenge or Funded stage.
​

The Maximum Overall Drawdown remains fully applicable at all times.


Profit Target

Traders must achieve a 6% Profit Target during the Flex Challenge while respecting all applicable trading rules and risk limits.

Account Size

Profit Target

$50,000

$3,000

$100,000

$6,000

$150,000

$9,000

Once the Profit Target has been reached and the 50% Consistency Rule has been satisfied, the account will undergo a final review.
​

After successful verification, the trader will move forward as an AquaFunded Futures Flex Funded Trader.
​

There are no minimum trading days required to complete the Flex Challenge.


Daily Loss Limit

There is no Daily Loss Limit on Flex No Daily Loss Limit Accounts during either the Challenge or Funded stage.
​

However, the Maximum Overall Drawdown remains fully applicable at all times.


Maximum Overall Drawdown (EOD)

The Maximum Trailing Drawdown varies depending on the account size and follows an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing model during both the Challenge and Funded stages.

Account Size

Maximum Drawdown

$50,000

$2,000

$100,000

$3,000

$150,000

$4,500

The trailing drawdown adjusts based on the account’s closed balance at the end of each trading day.
​

This means intraday unrealized profits do not cause the drawdown threshold to trail upward.
​

Once the trailing drawdown reaches the account’s original starting balance, the drawdown locks and no longer trails upward.

This locked level becomes the permanent Maximum Overall Drawdown threshold.

Example

For a $50,000 Flex Account with a $2,000 Maximum Drawdown, the initial threshold begins at $48,000.
​

If the trader finishes a trading day with a closed balance of $51,000, the EOD threshold moves to $49,000.
​

Once the account has generated enough closed profit for the trailing threshold to reach the original $50,000 starting balance, the threshold locks at $50,000 and will no longer trail upward.
​


Is There a Monthly Fee or Activation Fee?

No.
​

AquaFunded Futures does not require an activation fee before receiving your Flex Funded Account.
​

After successfully completing the Challenge and passing the account review, you can proceed to your Funded Account without paying an activation fee.


News Trading Rule

News trading is allowed on both Challenge and Funded Flex Accounts.

Traders are free to open, manage and close positions during high-impact news events.

However, traders should remain cautious during periods of significant market volatility, as factors such as slippage, reduced liquidity and rapid price movements may affect trade execution.


Stop Loss Rules

Using a Stop Loss is not mandatory on AquaFunded Futures Flex Accounts, but it is strongly encouraged as part of proper risk management.

Traders are expected to maintain a structured and responsible approach to risk and should not rely on the Maximum Overall Drawdown as a substitute for proper trade management.

We encourage traders to define their risk before entering a position, maintain appropriate and consistent position sizing and follow a structured trading strategy.


Can I Use Copy Trading or Trade Copiers?

Yes.

Copy trading is allowed on AquaFunded Futures Flex Accounts, including the use of trade copier software, provided that all accounts involved are legally owned and operated by the same trader.

Traders may copy their own trades between accounts they personally own.

Copying trades from another trader, signal provider, trading group, or allowing another individual or third party to manage or execute trades on your behalf is prohibited.

All AquaFunded Futures accounts must remain under the control of the registered account holder.


Microscalping Rule

Scalping is allowed on AquaFunded Futures Flex Accounts. However, microscalping is restricted.

Less than 50% of your total profits may come from trades held for under 10 seconds.

This rule applies during both the Challenge and Funded stages.

Traders may execute trades lasting less than 10 seconds, but those trades cannot account for 50% or more of the account's total profits.

Excessive reliance on ultra-short-duration trades may result in profit removal, payout review or further account action.


Consistency Rule

A 50% Consistency Rule applies during the AquaFunded Futures Flex Challenge.

There is no Consistency Rule on the Flex Funded Account.

The trader's highest-profit trading day cannot account for more than 50% of their total Challenge profits.

Example:

If the trader's highest-profit trading day is $2,000, their total Challenge profits must reach at least $4,000 to satisfy the Consistency Rule.

$2,000 ÷ $4,000 = 50%

Reaching the Challenge Profit Target alone does not guarantee that the account will pass. The 50% Consistency Rule must also be satisfied.

If the consistency requirement has not yet been met, the account is not breached.

The trader may continue trading until the profit distribution becomes compliant.


Maximum Position Size

Account Size

Maximum Position Size

$50,000

4 Mini / 40 Micro Contracts

$100,000

8 Mini / 80 Micro Contracts

$150,000

12 Mini / 120 Micro Contracts

For position-size calculations:

10 Micro Contracts = 1 Mini Contract

There is no progressive position scaling on Flex Accounts.

Traders receive access to their full permitted position size from the beginning.


How Do Payouts Affect Flex Drawdown?

After any approved payout or withdrawal, the drawdown floor will lock at the account's starting balance + $100.

Account Size

Drawdown Floor After Payout

$50,000

$50,100

$100,000

$100,100

$150,000

$150,100

This ensures the account remains active and prevents traders from withdrawing down to the exact breach threshold.

Example:

After a payout from a $50,000 Flex Funded Account, the account's drawdown floor will be permanently locked at $50,100.


Rewards and Payout Structure

Flex Accounts follow a fixed payout cap structure.

Traders may request up to 50% of their available profits, subject to the Maximum Payout Cap assigned to their account size.

Account Size

Maximum Payout Per Request

$50,000

50% of profits, up to $2,000

$100,000

50% of profits, up to $2,500

$150,000

50% of profits, up to $3,000

These caps apply to every payout request and do not disappear after a certain number of payouts.

Example:

If a trader on a $50,000 Flex Account has $3,000 in available profit, they may request up to $1,500, representing 50% of their available profits.

If the trader has $4,000 in available profit, they may request up to $2,000.

If the trader has $5,000 in available profit, 50% would equal $2,500. However, because the $50,000 account has a $2,000 payout cap, the maximum request remains $2,000.


Minimum Winning Days

To become eligible for a payout on a Flex Funded Account, traders must complete 6 Winning Days.

Each Winning Day must meet the minimum profit requirement for the applicable account size:

Account Size

Minimum Profit for a Winning Day

$50,000

$200

$100,000

$250

$150,000

$300

Winning Days do not need to be consecutive.

Once an approved payout has been completed, the Winning Day counter resets and the trader must complete 6 Winning Days again for the next payout cycle.


Flex Payout Eligibility – Net Profit Requirement

For payouts 2 through 5, Flex Funded Accounts must also satisfy a Net Profit Requirement.

To become eligible, traders must complete the 6 Winning Day requirement and reach the required Net Profit since their last approved payout.

Account Size

Winning Day Minimum

Net Profit Required

Payout Cap

$50,000

$200

$1,000

$100,000

$250

$2,500

$150,000

How Is Net Profit Calculated?

Net Profit includes all profits and losses generated since the previous approved payout.

Example:

On a $50,000 Flex Account, if a trader generates $1,200 in profits but records $200 in losses during the same payout cycle:

$1,200 - $200 = $1,000 Net Profit

The $1,000 Net Profit Requirement has therefore been satisfied.

If the trader instead generates $1,200 in profits and $400 in losses:

$1,200 - $400 = $800 Net Profit

The trader has not yet reached the required $1,000 and must continue trading before becoming eligible for the payout.

Does the Net Profit Requirement Change the Payout Amount?

No.

The Net Profit Requirement determines payout eligibility only.

Once eligible, traders may still request up to 50% of their available profits, subject to their account's Maximum Payout Cap.

After a Payout

Once a payout is approved, the Winning Day count and applicable Net Profit Requirement reset for the next payout cycle.


Profit Split

AquaFunded Futures Flex Funded Traders receive a 90% Reward Split.

For example, if an eligible payout contains $1,000 in profits:

Trader receives: $900
AquaFunded Futures receives: $100

The 90% Reward Split applies from the first payout onward.


Payout Schedule

Flex Funded Accounts offer Instant Payout eligibility once all applicable payout requirements have been satisfied.

Payout Frequency: Instant payout after meeting the required Winning Days and applicable payout eligibility requirements.

Processing Time: Within 24 business hours.

Withdrawal Methods: Rise or Crypto.

Minimum Withdrawal: $100 via Crypto and $500 via Rise.
