AquaFutures Instant Funding: 25K Account Review
AquaFutures runs on the ProjectX/Quantower ecosystem. The 25K Instant Pro account is a high performance direct account. It offers immediate funding but enforces a stricter Intraday Trailing drawdown and 15% consistency rule, demanding precise execution without a daily loss limit. It is a solid choice for traders who prefer avoiding the Rithmic data feed.
Technical Specs25K Account
Payout Information
On demand withdrawals as soon as criteria are met. You must achieve specific Profit Targets for each cycle: 6% for the first payout, 5% for the second, and 4% thereafter. Consistency rule of 15% and you need 7 winning trading days ($75 25K / $100 50K / $200 100K) per request. Like other accounts, your max trade loss must not exceed your max trade win. Withdrawals enjoy a 100% profit split up to the first $15k lifetime, then 90%.
Understanding the 15% Consistency Rule
To maintain stable performance, this AquaFutures account enforces a consistency rule where your single highest profit day cannot exceed 15% of your total profit at the time of withdrawal. This rule typically applies to funded accounts and resets after every withdrawal.
Practical Examples
If the profit target is $1500, your max daily profit should not exceed $225 to be eligible as soon as you reach the profit goal.
If you make the profit goal of $1500 in one single trading day, you must accumulate a total profit of $10000 to be able to request a payout, be very mindful of this rule!
Full Analysis
AquaFutures distinguishes itself by offering a highly diversified menu of funding models. While many firms force traders into a single evaluation structure, AquaFutures provides a flexible range of options, from standard End of Day (EOD) drawdown plans to instant funding models. It is built for traders who prioritize account flexibility and are comfortable operating within the ProjectX/Quantower execution environment.
1. Account Architecture:
The firm structures its offering into distinct risk/reward paths to suit different trading styles.
Beginner Evaluation: Designed for traders seeking rapid liquidity. It features a straightforward 1 Step Evaluation with a 6% Profit Target and no minimum trading days with End of Day (EOD) Drawdown, allowing you to get funded immediately upon hitting the goal. Smaller size and scaling rules apply.
The Standard Evaluation: The Standard Account acts as the core offering of Aqua Futures, balancing accessible funding with sustained growth mechanics, it also features an End of Day (EOD) Drawdown. You can operate with larger size than in the beginner accounts and there is no scaling rule.
Instant Funding (Direct Access): Bypass the evaluation entirely for an upfront fee. This option allows immediate market participation but comes with stricter risk parameters, including tighter consistency rules (20% / 15%) to ensure sustainable trading behavior. The Standard instant funded account has EOD Drawdown and the Pro instant funded account has Intraday Drawdown (calculated from unrealized profits) so be aware of that. Both accounts have a scaling rule.
2. Payout & Liquidity Mechanics
For the Beginner Evaluation accounts, you need to accumulate 5 winning trading days and you can get payouts every 7 days.
The payout policy in the Standard Evaluation accounts is designed to encourage capital retention through a Buffer (check buffer in our table below). You can request payouts while your balance is still within the buffer (initial drawdown zone), but there is a structural requirement. You must withdraw 60% of profits, leaving the remaining 40% in the account. This forces equity growth and prevents accounts from hovering near the liquidation threshold.
For the Standard and Pro instant funded accounts you get on demand payouts as long as you achieve the profit goal and meet the consistency rule.
In all the accounts, you get 100% of the profits until you achieve $15k, after that the split is 90/10 in favor of the trader.
Consistency Rules:
- Evaluation/Standard: 40% Consistency Rule, both Eval and Funded.
- Instant Funding: 20% Consistency Rule. This stricter limit forces Instant account holders to demonstrate extremely smooth equity curves without relying on lucky windfalls.
3. Execution Environment
Platform Connectivity: Accounts are hosted natively on ProjectX, providing a modern web-based charting and execution interface.
Desktop: For traders requiring robust desktop performance, the firm offers seamless integration with Quantower. This setup provides professional grade DOMs and charting tools, offering a solid alternative to legacy platforms for those who require advanced order management.
