AquaFunded max drawdown rules across Standard 10%, Pro 8%, and a 6% trail

Direct Technical Answer

AquaFunded max drawdown rules put a static 10% maximum on 2-step Standard, a static 8% maximum on Pro, and a trailing 6% maximum on the 1-step. On $100,000 those floors are $10,000, $8,000, and $6,000. The 5% day on the 2-step products is a separate line and does not replace any of them.

AquaFunded Pro caps the maximum loss at 8%, which is $8,000 on $100,000, while Standard keeps a static $10,000 floor and the 1-step trails a $6,000 hole. The firm has been in Dubai since 2023, and the product list is the 1-step, 2-step Standard, 2-step Pro, Instant Funding, and Aqua Futures. The maximum you signed is the one the blotter has to obey.

Three maximums, three different deaths

2-step Standard measures a static 10% from the starting balance. On $100,000 the account ends at $90,000 equity, whatever you have made in between, until a scale changes the base. Pro tightens that static maximum to 8%, so the same headline balance dies at $92,000. The 1-step trails at 6%. A winning week on the trail can move the floor up. The $6,000 you remember from day one is not a promise that stays put.

Daily loss is a second test. Standard and Pro still carry a 5% day, $5,000 on $100,000. The 1-step day is 4%, or $4,000. You can lose the account on the day while thousands remain under the maximum, and you can lose it on the maximum after a string of days that each looked legal. Open a Venasri account with the product name in the profile so Pro and Standard are not stored as one 10% rule.

On Pro, the maximum cash equals the Phase 1 target

The 2-step profit path is 8% in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2. On $100,000 that is $8,000 then $5,000. Pro maximum loss is also $8,000. The profit you are asked to make in Phase 1 is the same cash Pro allows you to lose over the life of the account. Standard gives you $2,000 more hole than that target. Traders who buy Pro for the tighter story and then risk like Standard spend the extra room they do not have.

Three minimum trading days still apply. Instant Funding and selected rapid payout tiers add a 40% best-day test that the plain 2-step maximum does not. A day inside the $5,000 loss line can still be too large a share of cycle profit. The maximum and the consistency cap are different failures.

The 1-step trail moves after the week you wanted to celebrate

A trailing 6% follows the account high in the way the contract describes. Banking a winner and then giving a normal pullback can touch a floor that has stepped up. Static Standard does not do that. If your winning week reduced leftover room, you are on the trail or you mismarked the snapshot. The daily anchor, separate from the trail, is the higher of day-start balance or equity at 00:00 server time, GMT+2 or GMT+3.

Set the flatten from the product you bought

Equity Guard on Standard or Pro should flatten a $100,000 book near $4,250, which is $750 inside the $5,000 day. That buffer does not protect a Pro account whose static maximum is $8,000 if you have already dug a $7,000 hole across several legal days. Track the lifetime floor in dollars beside the day. On the 1-step, flatten nearer $3,250 because the day itself is $4,000, and watch the trailing $6,000 as a moving number.

Personal Expert Advisors and risk managers are allowed. High-frequency and latency bots are not. The guard is a flatten, not a quote sniper. Weekend holds are allowed, so a Friday float can change both the midnight anchor and, on the 1-step, the trail you meet on Monday.

Frequently Asked Questions: AquaFunded max drawdown rules across Standard 10%, Pro 8%, and a 6% trail

What is the AquaFunded maximum drawdown on $100K?

2-step Standard is a static $10,000. Pro is a static $8,000. The 1-step trails at $6,000. The 2-step day is an additional $5,000, and the 1-step day is $4,000. The day resets at 00:00 server time, GMT+2 or GMT+3, from the higher of balance or equity.

Does AquaFunded Pro use the same floor as Standard?

Pro uses a static 8% maximum. Standard uses a static 10%. On $100,000 that is $8,000 versus $10,000. Phase 1 on the 2-step path is $8,000, so Pro lifetime loss cash matches the Phase 1 target. The day on both 2-step products remains 5%.

How does the AquaFunded 1-step trail differ from Standard?

The 1-step maximum is a trailing 6%, or $6,000 on $100,000, and the day is 4%, or $4,000. A green week can move the floor. Standard stays anchored to the starting balance at 10%. Instant and selected rapid tiers can also fail a 40% best-day profit test that is not a drawdown print.

Where should Equity Guard sit against these floors?

On a $100,000 2-step day, flatten near $4,250 so the $5,000 print is not the exit. On the 1-step, flatten near $3,250 against the $4,000 day. Also track the static or trailing maximum in dollars, because a string of legal days can still reach $8,000, $10,000, or the moving 6% floor.
