Expert Review & Ratings

AquaFunded is a UAE-based prop firm founded in December 2023, offering a variety of evaluation paths from instant funding to 3-step challenges. With account sizes up to $400K and a 90% profit split (upgradeable to 100% via add-on), the firm caters to traders of different experience levels. However, the multiple consistency rules across programs and the 2% maximum loss per trade rule require careful attention.

Summary

AquaFunded offers competitive pricing with its current 50% off promotion, making it one of the more affordable options in the prop trading space. The firm provides four trading platforms (cTrader, MT5, Match Trader, TradeLocker) and trades CFDs across Forex, Metals, Indices, Crypto, and Commodities. The base 90% profit split can be upgraded to 100% via an add-on at checkout. Traders should be aware of the various consistency rules that differ by program type (15-25% depending on account) and the strict 2% maximum loss per trade rule on certain accounts. The Wave Stop feature on funded accounts provides a safety net but can impact profit splits if triggered. With around 900 TrustPilot reviews and a 3.7 rating, user experiences are mixed, with praise for customer support but some concerns about rule enforcement and payout processes.
