Our Summary
Multi-model forex prop firm offering 1 Step, Instant Funding, Pay After Pass, and Aqua Man programs, with strong trader-facing payout marketing and a separate crypto sibling under the Aqua brand.
Trading Plans

Compare each plan path, how it progresses, and the key funding and payout terms we have confirmed so far.

Immediate funded-access path that skips a traditional evaluation.

AquaFunded offers multiple forex-oriented models including 1 Step, Instant Funding, Pay After Pass, and Aqua Man. Funded accounts are simulated/demo accounts using real market quotes rather than live capital brokerage accounts.
Rewards are generally available every 14 days from the first funded trade. Payouts are processed through RiseWorks.io with bank and crypto withdrawal support, with a minimum funded withdrawal of 100 USD. Standard split appears to be 90%, with optional 100% profit split and some faster first-payout add-ons depending on model.
Leverage varies by model and phase rather than firm-wide. Evaluation leverage is published up to Forex 1:100, Indices 1:20, Commodities 1:20, and Crypto 1:2. Funded leverage is lower on standard funded accounts and differs again for instant models such as Standard vs Pro.
Funded Account Structure

AquaFunded offers multiple forex-oriented models including 1 Step, Instant Funding, Pay After Pass, and Aqua Man. Funded accounts are simulated/demo accounts using real market quotes rather than live capital brokerage accounts.

Allowed Trading Instruments
Structured instrument coverage is still being normalized for this firm. For now, use the market badges and the plan and rules notes above as the best guide to what this firm supports.

Restricted countries listed by AquaFunded include Cuba, Iran, Syria, Vietnam, Kenya, Albania, Algeria, North Korea, Senegal, Myanmar, Russia, Belarus, Sudan, South Sudan, Venezuela, Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk. Thailand, Brazil, Bulgaria, Japan, Jordan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Pakistan are allowed only with restrictions on instant funding models and a maximum of 50K funded per trader.

For non-futures firms, this section summarizes challenge fees, commissions, spreads, swaps, activation costs, and other trader-facing cost notes when exact structured fee rows are not yet normalized.
Aqua says all accounts use ECN spreads. Published commissions are $5 per lot on FX, $5 per lot on commodities, and $0 on indices and crypto.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
Expert Advisors and trade copiers are allowed within Aqua's stated restrictions.
AquaFunded allows EAs and trade copiers, and separately allows copy trading only from personal accounts that are legally bound to the same account holder. External accounts can be used as masters, but third-party account management and copying other traders' signals remain prohibited under Aqua's broader policy.
Copy Trading
Not allowed

EAs and trade copiers are allowed, including copying between Aqua accounts and the trader's own external accounts when they are legally tied to the same account holder. Third-party account management and prohibited exploitative strategies remain disallowed.

Microscalping Policy
Aqua prohibits demo-environment abuse such as tick scalping, high-frequency trading, delayed-feed exploitation, and arbitrage-style execution tactics.
Bots Policy

Automation is allowed, including EAs and trade copiers, but only within Aqua's same-owner and non-third-party restrictions.

DCA Policy

No explicit DCA or martingale policy surfaced in the current official materials reviewed for this firm.

Allowed Trading Hours
Aqua says traders can hold positions overnight and over the weekend without restriction, and crypto remains available for 24/7 weekend trading.
Move to Live Criteria

For evaluation-style models, Aqua says traders must complete the evaluation process to be offered a funded account. Aqua also runs instant-funded style models, so the path is model-dependent rather than one single challenge flow across the whole brand.

Rule Enforcement Notes

Aqua says evaluation accounts that violate rules become ineligible for funded accounts, while funded accounts that breach rules are closed and the trader agreement is terminated. Some violations are not identified automatically and may be confirmed only during later risk-team review.

Refund Policy

Aqua says the evaluation fee is refundable once the trader reaches the fourth payout on the completed account. If the account is hard-breached before the fourth payout, the evaluation fee is not refundable.

Activation Fee Policy

Model-dependent. Aqua's standard evaluation flow does not describe a separate funded-account activation fee, but its Pay After Pass model lets traders start with a small upfront payment and pay the remaining fee only after they pass and receive the funded account.

VPN Policy
No dedicated VPN or VPS policy surfaced in the reviewed official AquaFunded materials.
Payout Methods

Rewards are generally available every 14 days from the first funded trade. Payouts are processed through RiseWorks.io with bank and crypto withdrawal support, with a minimum funded withdrawal of 100 USD. Standard split appears to be 90%, with optional 100% profit split and some faster first-payout add-ons depending on model.
