Consistency rules
Instant Funding Standard
- A 20% Daily Consistency Rule applies: You cannot request a payout until the highest profit trading day falls below 20% of total profits made on that account within that particular period.
Instant Funding Pro
- A consistency rule of 15% applies: One trading day cannot equal or exceed 15% of the total profits made.
1-Step Pro
- A consistency rule of 25% applies: One trading day cannot account for 25% or more of your total profits during a payout period.
Aquaman
- No single trading day can account for 15% or more of your total profits during a payout period.

Firm rules
Inactivity Rule
- All accounts will be deactivated after 30 days of inactivity.
- Once deactivated, accounts cannot be restored.
Maximum Loss Per Trade Policy
- (Pro Model & AquaMan Model) If your floating PnL (profit and loss) reaches or exceeds a loss of -2% (or -1% for the $300,000 and $400,000 Instant Pro accounts) of the account balance, the account will be permanently closed.
- (Instant Funding Standard) If the PnL on your open trades reaches a 2% loss, the system will automatically close all open trades across all symbols. This is considered a soft breach, allowing you to resume trading immediately afterward. However, any profits from trades that exceeded the 2% limit will be removed. A subsequent violation will result in a reduction of profit split to 32.5%.
News Trading
- Allowed with restrictions—trading within 5 minutes before and after a high-impact news event is prohibited.
- News trading is allowed without restriction in all evaluation programs.
Wave stop
- If your open trades incur a 2% loss of your account balance, Wave Stop will usually auto-close all open positions across all symbols. This is a soft breach, so you can resume trading right away. This is only applicable for funded accounts, instant funding is not included.
- Note: 1st breach – Profit split reduced to 50%, 2nd breach – Account is breached.
Copy Trading
- Allowed, personal accounts only
- AquaFunded’s partnership with Prop Firm One enables you to extend your copy trading capabilities even further. PF1 allows traders to seamlessly copy trades across different proprietary firm accounts within a single platform, offering increased flexibility and a broader range of opportunities. This means that, in addition to AquaFunded’s internal copy trading feature, PF1 empowers users to manage trades across multiple firms, enhancing scalability and trading efficiency without breaching AquaFunded’s core rules.

All or Nothing
- All or nothing practices are prohibited.
