AquaFunded: Consistency rule (Pro & Instant only)
Standard 1/2/3-step plans have NO consistency rule. 1-Step Pro & 2-Step Pro: 25%. Instant Standard: 20%. Instant Pro & Aqua Man: 15%. No single day may equal/exceed the cap % of total payout-period profit.
The gotcha
Breaching it denies the payout (it doesn't void) until your best day's share drops below the threshold — and it exists despite the public 'no consistency rule' claim.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this doesn't necessarily close the account, but it can disqualify the payout you were trading toward — you keep trading, the profit doesn't get paid.
