## What this firm publishes

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.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the Aqua Futures profit split?

Beginner, Instant Standard and Instant Pro accounts pay a 100% profit split until a trader reaches $15,000 in lifetime approved withdrawals, then 90%. Standard accounts pay a fixed 90% from the first withdrawal, and Flex accounts pay 80%.

### What are the Aqua Futures drawdown rules?

Beginner, Standard, Flex and Instant Standard use an end-of-day trailing drawdown that follows the highest end-of-day balance; Instant Pro trails balance and equity in real time. The level locks at the starting balance plus $100, and on a $50,000 account the maximum drawdown is $2,500 on Beginner and Instant accounts, $2,000 on Standard and $1,500 on Flex.

### Does Aqua Futures have a consistency rule?

Yes, on every account type. It is 40% on Beginner, 40% on Standard only once funded, 40% on Flex only during the evaluation, 20% on Instant Standard and 15% on Instant Pro; breaking it blocks passing or withdrawing until your highest profit day falls below the limit, but it is not a breach.

### How do Aqua Futures payouts work?

Payouts are weekly on Beginner and Instant accounts and on demand on Standard and Flex accounts. Each withdrawal needs 5 winning days (7 on Instant accounts) that meet a minimum daily profit, a largest loss no bigger than the largest win, and a request within the account's cap; payouts carry a 3% processing fee and are paid mainly through Riseworks, typically within 24 business hours.

### Does Aqua Futures offer instant funding?

Yes. Instant Standard and Instant Pro accounts at $50,000 and $100,000 skip the evaluation, pay a 100% profit split and have no profit target, but need a balance buffer of 6% before the first payout. Instant Standard has a daily loss limit and a 20% consistency rule; Instant Pro has no daily loss limit, an intraday trailing drawdown and a 15% consistency rule.

### Does Aqua Futures charge an activation fee?

No. The Beginner, Standard, Flex, Instant Standard and Instant Pro account overviews each list the activation fee as none.

### Does Aqua Futures allow news trading?

With restrictions. You may not open or hold positions or pending orders within two minutes before or after a Tier 1 release or during red folder news, and news straddles are prohibited; in the evaluation, news trades cannot be the only way the target was reached.

### Does Aqua Futures allow bots and copy trading?

Fully automated systems, trading bots and AI execution are prohibited on all Aqua Futures accounts, and semi-automated tools are allowed only while you are present and managing positions. Copy trading is allowed only between accounts you own yourself.

### Which platforms does Aqua Futures use?

Aqua Futures lists Tradovate, NinjaTrader and Deepcharts in its platform overview, for CME, CBOT and NYMEX futures contracts.

### How many accounts can you have at Aqua Futures?

Up to 3 active funded accounts at a time, Instant accounts included. A newly passed evaluation beyond that limit is placed on hold until one of the existing funded accounts is breached.

### Which countries are restricted at Aqua Futures?

Aqua Futures lists 72 restricted territories, including China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam. Residents of Nigeria can only pay by crypto, and KYC checks residency and citizenship before a pass or withdrawal.

### How much does an Aqua Futures account cost?

Aqua Futures does not publish a price list for its futures accounts in its help centre. Its account-limit article refers to a monthly subscription fee for evaluation accounts, without stating the amount.
