We’re excited to welcome you to the funded stage at AquaFutures! Now that you’re officially a funded trader, you have the opportunity to earn real profits. Whether you’re newly funded or simply exploring our Funded Trading Parameters, this guide will cover the key rules and objectives for trading at this level.

Keeping Your Account Active

To keep your Funded Account active, you must place at least one trade within each seven-day period. Failing to trade within this timeframe may result in your account being marked inactive and breached. If you’re planning to take an extended break or vacation, please reach out to our support team to notify them of your plans.

Funded Account Parameters

After completing the evaluation through either the Beginner or Standard account, you’ll advance to the Funded stage with AquaFutures.

For Beginner Accounts, you can request payouts every 14 days, provided you meet the necessary withdrawal criteria.

For Standard Accounts, payouts are available every 7 days, provided you have achieved 5 days with net positive trades and met the other necessary withdrawal criteria.

General Guidelines:

You may have up to 3 Funded Accounts with us at any time. - Your starting balance in the Funded stage will match the beginning balance of your evaluation account. - Refer to the Payout Policy for detailed payout request procedures.

Specific Rules for the Beginner and Standard Plans:

Beginner Plan: This plan includes scaling requirements, consistency rules, and specific withdrawal restrictions (outlined below).

Standard Plan: While there are no scaling limitations as in the Beginner account, traders are still expected to follow both prohibited conduct guidelines and the consistency rule.

Rules of the Funded Account

The primary requirement is to stay within the Maximum EOD (End of Day) Trailing Loss Limit.

Objectives for Beginner Funded Accounts:

  • Scaling Guidelines: Follow the specific scaling guidelines that apply to each account type.

  • Withdrawal Requirements: Review the payout policy for full withdrawal criteria.

  • Prohibited Conduct: Follow the prohibited conduct guidelines.

  • Consistency Standard: To maintain consistency, no single day’s profits should exceed 40% of the total profit during each payout cycle.

Objectives for Standard Funded Accounts:

  • No Scaling Restrictions: Avoid overleveraging, especially when using micro contracts.

  • Prohibited Conduct: Continue to adhere to the same trading guidelines as outlined in the Standard Plan.

  • Consistency Standard: Ensure that no single day’s profits exceed 40% of the cumulative profit for each payout cycle.

Managing Your Trading with a Funded Account

Consistent and disciplined trading is essential for success at this level.

At AquaFutures, we support traders in sticking to their established trading styles while respecting the guidelines in the Funded Agreement.

Keep your risk management practices steady - avoid large, sudden increases in contract size. Reasonable adjustments to your strategy based on current market conditions are fine (such as using one contract for lower-probability trades and increasing the number of contracts for higher-probability setups).

Important Notes:

  • Account Activity: If you’re unable to meet the one-trade-per-week requirement due to vacation or other circumstances, please contact support for assistance.

  • Account Resets: Funded accounts cannot be reset.

  • Account Limits: You can hold up to three funded accounts at one time, whether live or simulated.

  • Withdrawal Timing: For funded Beginner Accounts, you may request a withdrawal 14 days after your first trade and every 14 days thereafter, based on the date of your last withdrawal.

    For funded Standard Accounts, you may request a withdrawal 7 days after your first trade and every 7 days thereafter, based on the date of your last withdrawal.
