Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • 3 live account types (Zero/Premium/Advanced), Maximum Loss Limit is EOD trailing and stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance (never resets to $0 on withdrawal), 90% flat profit split from day one on all plans, on-demand payouts up to 4x/month after 5 winning days of $200+, industry-large withdrawal caps (up to $15,000/request on Advanced), Zero plan has $0 activation fee permanently and no consistency rule on evaluation (can pass in 1 day)
  • 100% profit split on first $15,000 then 90%, weekly payouts with 24-hour guarantee ($500 if late), no activation fees, instant funding option, parent AquaFunds (UAE-based) operates Forex+Crypto+Futures arms, 24/7 support, $1.68B in funding provided, ocean-cleaning + clean-water charity
Main Drawbacks
  • Zero plan carries a 2% Daily Loss Guard on evaluation and a 40% consistency rule on the Qualified stage; Premium/Advanced Qualified accounts require a $149 one-time activation fee (Premium traders can instead pay a higher monthly evaluation rate to waive it); reset fees required to retry a failed evaluation; legacy Standard plan (tiered 70/80/90% split) was retired May 1, 2026 and is no longer for sale
  • TrustPilot rating 3.7/5 (255 reviews), lower than top peers; consistency rule applies (see help center); Dubai-based offshore prop firm, not regulated as a broker; trailing drawdown on Pro tier; only 2 platforms (Tradovate, Volumetrica)
