Aqua Futures

Aqua Futures (AquaFutures) is a futures prop firm that states it supports futures only, with no stocks, options, forex or crypto; CFD traders are pointed to its CFD prop firm, AquaFunded. Traders get CME, CBOT and NYMEX contracts on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and Deepcharts, through three evaluations (Beginner, Standard and Flex) and two instant funding accounts (Instant Standard and Instant Pro), with account sizes from $25,000 to $150,000. None of the five charges an activation fee, and Aqua Futures advertises a profit split of up to 100% and a reward guarantee: paid in 24 hours or it pays an extra $1,000.

The Aqua Futures drawdown depends on the account. Beginner, Standard, Flex and Instant Standard trail the highest end-of-day balance (EOD drawdown), while Instant Pro trails balance and equity in real time; the level locks once it reaches the starting balance plus $100. On a $50,000 account the maximum drawdown is $2,500 on Beginner and both Instant accounts, $2,000 on Standard and $1,500 on Flex. Beginner and Instant Standard add a daily loss limit of $1,250 at that size; Standard, Flex and Instant Pro have none. The evaluations have no minimum trading days. The consistency rule is 40% on Beginner, 40% on Standard once funded, 40% on Flex in the evaluation only, 20% on Instant Standard and 15% on Instant Pro. Rules that end accounts or block payouts include no positions within two minutes of Tier 1 news, a ban on 100 or more trades a day, closure after 7 calendar days without a trade, and a cap of 3 funded accounts.

Beginner and both Instant accounts pay a 100% profit split until $15,000 in lifetime withdrawals, then 90%; Standard pays a fixed 90% and Flex 80%. Payouts are weekly on Beginner and the Instant accounts and on demand on Standard and Flex, after 5 winning days (7 on Instant accounts) and with each request capped by account size. Every payout carries a 3% processing fee and is paid mainly through Riseworks, typically within 24 business hours. The help centre publishes no price list or refund policy, and one article mentions a monthly subscription fee for evaluation accounts.

Prop Firm Pal has not verified Aqua Futures, so this is not an endorsement: it is what the record shows. Its website has been active in Prop Firm Pal's monthly traffic record since November 2025, and traffic over the last three months is falling sharply. Its payout policy is published, and summarised on the Payouts tab.

Prop Firm Pal has tracked Aqua Futures's website traffic every month since November 2025. In September 2026 the site received an estimated 33.78K visits, down 48% on the month before and down 76% over three months.

Its busiest month on record was March 2026 at roughly 211.65K visits. Traffic now is 84% below that peak.

A fall of this size over a quarter is the pattern that most often precedes a firm winding down, though it is not proof of it on its own — marketing spend, seasonality and a single lost traffic source all produce the same shape. It is worth weighing before paying for an evaluation.

These are third-party estimates of website visits, collected once a month and stored against the month they describe. They are not trader counts, funded-account numbers or revenue.

Measured on estimated monthly website visits for September 2026, Aqua Futures ranks 142 of the 463 prop firms Prop Firm Pal tracks — larger than 69% of them, at roughly 33.78K visits a month.

The ranking covers every firm measured between July 2026 and September 2026, each on its own latest reading in that window. Firms last measured before July 2026 are left out rather than shown with a stale figure, so the total moves month to month.

Size is not quality. A large firm is one that markets successfully, and several of the most visited firms in this ranking have the strictest rules; some of the smallest pay out reliably to everyone who asks. What the ranking is useful for is scale — whether you are looking at an established operation or something very new.
