Under watch Verdict on AquaFunded
Dubai-based and launched in late 2023, AquaFunded spreads five evaluation models — one-step, two-step and instant funding — across eleven account sizes from $2,500 to $400,000, on a 90% profit split. The rulebook is flexible, but the firm publishes no fixed pricing and its Trustpilot rating is suspended over fake reviews.

AquaFunded pros
- Eleven account sizes from $2,500 to $400,000, an unusually wide ladder for starting small and scaling up.
- Five models to pick from, two of them on a static drawdown — 2 Step Standard at 8%, 1 Step Flex at 10%.
- A 90% profit split from the start, raised to 100% through a paid add-on bought with the challenge.
- News trading and Expert Advisors are allowed, across four platforms: MT5, Match-Trader, TradeLocker and cTrader.
- Breaking the consistency rule blocks the withdrawal instead of closing the funded account.
Points to consider
- Trustpilot rating unavailable after a platform rules breach, with 37% one-star ratings across 1,194 published reviews.
- No public pricing: rates are computed at checkout, with permanent promo codes such as SUMMERCLEAR at -40%.
- A trading day only counts if it books at least 0.5% profit, which stretches the three-day minimum in practice.
- 1 Step Standard runs a 6% intraday trailing drawdown, and the Pro and Instant models carry a 20-25% consistency rule.
- First payout at 14 days unless you buy the add-on, no published scaling plan, and fifteen excluded countries including Algeria and Senegal.
