APEX OFFER
Four names, four different frictions removed.
AquaFunded has launched four new futures account models, each built around a different trader profile rather than one-size-fits-all rules. Where the firm used to offer a more uniform set of evaluation terms, traders can now choose the specific piece of friction, minimum trading days, consistency rule, or the evaluation itself, they'd rather trade away.
Speed, frequency, consistency or the evaluation itself.
| Model | What it removes | Funded-stage payout |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Minimum trading days and consistency rule during evaluation; passable in a single day | On-demand |
| Daily | Long payout waits | Every day, 90% split |
| Flex | Consistency rule entirely once funded (40% raised to 50% during evaluation) | On-demand, 90% split |
| Instant | The evaluation phase itself | On-demand from day one |
Two changes that apply regardless of which model you pick.
Alongside the four new models, AquaFunded made two changes that apply across its futures lineup. News trading is now officially permitted, and the minimum trade duration for MicroScalping has been cut from one minute to just 10 seconds. The firm also removed its "Highest Win must be greater than Highest Loss" rule, and standardized the profit split at 90% across all four new models.
Segmentation instead of a single compromise.
Most evaluation products are built as one compromise that tries to work reasonably well for every trader. Splitting into four named models is a different strategy: rather than balancing speed, consistency and payout frequency into one middle-ground product, AquaFunded is letting the trader pick which one of those three they care about most and accepting the trade-offs that come with that choice.
The MicroScalping change is a good example of how granular this gets. Cutting the minimum trade duration from a minute to 10 seconds is a small technical tweak, but it materially changes what's viable for a scalper who was previously locked out of very short holding periods, a group these four broader model names don't fully capture on their own.
Questions, answered.
Standard removes minimum days and the consistency rule for a single-day pass with on-demand payouts. Daily offers payouts every day with a 90% split. Flex raises the evaluation consistency limit from 40% to 50% and removes it entirely once funded. Instant skips the evaluation phase for direct funded access.
Yes. News trading is now officially permitted across the new models, and the minimum trade duration for MicroScalping was reduced from one minute to 10 seconds.
All four new models carry a standard 90% profit split for the trader.
