AquaFunded FAQ & Complete Guide

AquaFunded’s platform guide lists MatchTrader, TradeLocker, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader. Check the platform assigned to your specific account before choosing an automation tool. A firm offering a platform does not mean every account uses it.

Yes, its published rules allow Expert Advisors—programs that place or manage trades—when they form part of your own trading strategy. The strategy must still follow AquaFunded’s trading rules. This is not blanket permission to run any third-party bot or strategy.

Yes. AquaFunded’s policy allows copying between your own accounts, including between evaluation and funded accounts, and between AquaFunded and external accounts. The accounts must belong legally to the same account holder. If another provider is involved, check its permission separately.

It may be possible through an eligible Match-Trader, TradeLocker or cTrader account. PickMyTrade documents those platform connections, while AquaFunded sets the rules for how its accounts may be used. Confirm your exact account, server and strategy before setup. Platform support is not an AquaFunded endorsement or a guarantee that every account will connect.

It depends on the model and stage. Two Step Standard requires three qualifying days; Two Step Pro has no minimum in evaluation but requires three in the funded stage; Instant Standard requires five. The general guide defines a qualifying day as at least 0.5% profit and says the days need not be consecutive. Check your exact model rather than applying one rule to all evaluations.

It limits how much of a payout period’s profit can come from your best day. The published guide lists different thresholds for different models: for example, 20% for Instant Pro and 50% at the Two Step Pro funded stage. Its Instant Standard section contains conflicting percentages, so confirm that model’s current rule with AquaFunded before relying on a number.

Do not assume that is permitted. AquaFunded’s copy-trading policy is limited to personal accounts belonging to the account holder, and its automated-trading permission refers to your own strategy. Those policies do not establish permission to mirror another person’s account or a shared signal service. Obtain written clarification for that setup.

No. PickMyTrade does not support MT4 or MT5 accounts. To use PickMyTrade with AquaFunded, choose an eligible account on Match-Trader, TradeLocker or cTrader instead. These are the supported platform options covered here. Before purchasing or changing an account, confirm that AquaFunded offers your chosen platform for that account and that the account can connect to PickMyTrade.

After confirming compatibility and permission, follow PickMyTrade’s TradeLocker guide. Use the login details and server supplied for that account, and select the matching Demo or Live environment. A prop-firm account’s marketing label does not determine this setting; use its actual platform credentials. Verify the connection before configuring trading alerts.

Use PickMyTrade’s cTrader connection flow, sign in through cTrader, choose the intended account and grant the requested access. Select the environment that matches that account. Check that the correct account is connected before creating alerts. Follow the current guide because screen labels may change.

Connect the account in PickMyTrade, then use Generate Alert to create its webhook address and message. A webhook is the address TradingView sends the alert to. Set the correct symbol, instrument type, order size and exit handling, then use the generated details in TradingView. Test the complete entry-and-exit flow in a permitted test account before relying on it.

There is no single limit for every model. For Two Step Standard, the reviewed rules set a daily loss allowance of 5% of the higher balance or equity at the 00:00 UTC reset, and a total loss limit of 8% of the starting balance, including open-trade losses. Equity means account value including open trades. These figures are specific to that model; use your own model’s rule page.

The terms depend on your model and purchased options. For Two Step Standard, the reviewed rules state a 90% standard profit share and a 14-day payout cycle. They list optional upgrades for a 100% share or a first payout after seven days. These are that model’s terms, not a promise that every account qualifies for a payment on those dates.

Start by checking the alert’s JSON—the message containing the trade instructions. Incorrect JSON is a common cause of failed alerts. Generate a fresh message in PickMyTrade for the correct platform, account and order type, then use that message and its webhook URL in TradingView. Check for missing fields, extra braces, missing commas or unsupported values. In the TradingView Alert Log, check the message actually sent: quantity and stop-loss/take-profit placeholders must resolve to valid numbers. If you change the strategy’s alert output, recreate the affected alert and test it on a permitted demo account. Next, check PickMyTrade’s received alert and error details, then the trading platform’s order history. Verify the connection, symbol and order size; for TradeLocker, also check the server and Demo/Live setting. If it still fails, send support the error, timestamp with timezone and message with tokens removed. An alert firing does not confirm an order was filled.

Many customers use PickMyTrade to automate their trading, but automation still carries risk and does not automatically keep an account within AquaFunded’s rules. You remain responsible for your strategy, position sizes, loss limits and account settings. Incorrect alert messages, connection problems or order rejections can affect execution. Test your setup on a permitted demo account, monitor actual orders and follow the rules for your AquaFunded account model. PickMyTrade automates trade instructions; it does not guarantee compliance, profits or payouts.
