Firm Intel & Review
AquaFutures Technical Infrastructure
AquaFutures, based in the United Arab Emirates and established in November 2024, is a futures proprietary trading firm backed by the same ownership as AquaFunded. The firm offers four program types across two evaluation models: Instant Funding, Instant Pro, Beginner Evaluation (1-Step), and Standard Evaluation (1-Step). AquaFutures exclusively uses the Volumetrica Trading platform and focuses entirely on futures instruments, positioning itself as the futures-dedicated arm of the AquaFunded ecosystem.
The Instant Funding program covers two account sizes: $50,000 at $246.00 (original $615.00) and $100,000 at $306.00 (original $765.00). The Instant Pro program is available at $25,000 for $148.80 (original $372.00) and $50,000 for $228.80 (original $572.00). The Beginner Evaluation 1-Step spans four sizes: $25K at $26.00 (original $65.00), $50K at $40.00 (original $100.00), $100K at $78.00 (original $195.00), and $150K at $114.00 (original $285.00). The Standard Evaluation 1-Step is offered at $50K for $84.00 (original $210.00) and $150K for $196.00 (original $490.00). Payments are accepted via Credit/Debit Card and Crypto.
All trading is conducted on the Volumetrica Trading platform, with instruments restricted to futures. No leverage specifications are published for futures contracts. Fully automated trading systems are prohibited — manual involvement is required for all trade execution. Automated scalping exceeding 200 trades per day is explicitly banned, as is micro scalping defined as holding trades for extremely brief durations to capture tiny price movements. The CME 2% price limit rule applies to all accounts.
AquaFutures offers a 100% profit split on all programs up to a lifetime total of $15,000 per user, after which the split reduces to 90%. The Beginner Evaluation program pays out every 7 days after completing 5 qualifying winning days. The Standard Evaluation operates on a 14-day cycle with a defined buffer zone ranging from $26,300 to $155,100 depending on account size; withdrawals below the buffer zone reset the maximum loss to balance plus $100. Minimum payout is $250 for most programs and $500 for the Standard Evaluation. Payout methods are Crypto and Riseworks.
Copy trading is permitted only across accounts belonging to the same trader and is not allowed across multiple evaluations simultaneously. The firm requires at least one trade per week to maintain active account status. A key risk rule states that during any funded withdrawal cycle, the biggest single trade loss cannot exceed the biggest single trade win. Market manipulation in any form is prohibited. AquaFutures shares AquaFunded's operational infrastructure and UAE-based structure while providing a dedicated futures trading environment through Volumetrica.
