The challenge sets a 10% profit target. Regarding risk management, it features a 3% daily trailing drawdown and a 10% static maximum drawdown.

AquaFunded Launches Four New Futures Funding Models

AquaFunded has officially launched four new futures account models designed to provide greater flexibility and faster access to capital. These new modalities include significant changes to trading rules and payout frequency for funded traders. New Futures Account Models The firm has structured its offering into four distinct categories based on the trader's profile: Standard: Allows passing the evaluation in a single trading day, eliminating mandatory minimum days and the consistency rule during the testing phase. Once funded, users gain access to On-Demand payouts. Daily: Focused on payment frequency, this model allows funded traders to request payouts every single day with a 90% profit split. Flex: Offers more leeway in the consistency rule during evaluation, increasing the limit from 40% to 50%. Once the funded account is obtained, the consistency rule is removed, maintaining a 90% profit split. Instant: Allows skipping the evaluation phase entirely, granting direct access to a funded account from day one with On-Demand payout options. Trading Rule Updates Alongside the new models, AquaFunded has implemented general improvements to its futures operations. News trading is now officially permitted, and the minimum trade duration for MicroScalping has been reduced from one minute to just 10 seconds. Additionally, the firm has removed the rule requiring the highest win to be greater than the highest loss (Highest Win > Highest Loss). All new models now feature a standard 90% profit split for the trader.
