About AquaFunded

AquaFunded is a UAE-incorporated prop firm (AQUA FUNDED FZCO, Dubai Silicon Oasis) positioning itself as a regional alternative to FTMO and FundedNext with programme variety that rivals both. Comparison traffic comes from traders weighing AquaFunded vs FTMO, FundedNext, and BrightFunded in the Dubai prop-firm cluster.

Five challenge models — 1-Step, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, Instant Funding, and Aqua Man — give AquaFunded more programme variety than FTMO (one path) and FundedNext (two). The 100% split add-on matches FundingPips at the top tier, and a $2M lifetime allocation ceiling competes directly with Goat Funded Trader. Four platforms including TradeLocker broaden accessibility beyond the MT-only crowd.

For traders comparing AquaFunded vs FTMO, BrightFunded, or FundedNext, the pitch is UAE regulatory jurisdiction plus more evaluation variety and a higher possible split than the category leader.

Frequently Asked
Questions

  • What is the maximum allocation at AquaFunded?

    $400,000 per trader as the standard cap, with lifetime scaling up to $2,000,000 across funded accounts. Traders from 10 specific countries (including Brazil, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia) are limited to Instant Funding models at $50,000 max.

  • What profit split does AquaFunded offer?

    90% profit split on standard funded accounts, upgradable to 100% via a paid add-on at challenge purchase. Payouts default to bi-weekly; on-demand payouts are available as an add-on.

  • Which challenge models are available?

    Five models: 1-Step (6–9% target, 3% daily, 6% trailing drawdown), 2-Step Standard (8%+5% targets, static drawdown), 2-Step Pro (10%+5% targets, 10% trailing drawdown), Instant Funding (no evaluation), and Aqua Man (specialty model).

  • Can US traders use AquaFunded?

    US access is currently restricted: new sign-ups have been paused and MT5 is not available to US residents. Traders from Afghanistan, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Belarus, Bangladesh, Venezuela, and other sanctioned jurisdictions are not accepted.

  • What is the consistency rule?

    A single trading day cannot account for 25% or more of your total profits during a payout period. Exceeding this threshold delays or voids the payout until the account balance normalises.
