AquaFunded $25,000 Challenge — Position Size Calculator

Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

With AquaFunded's $25,000 account and $1,250 daily loss limit, you can afford exactly 5 consecutive losses at 1% risk ($250 each) before hitting the daily limit. At 2% risk ($500 per trade), just 2.5 losing trades will breach your daily allowance - meaning two losses plus any additional trade puts you in danger. The math is unforgiving: $500 + $500 + $250 = $1,250. This is the specific danger zone for this account size. For position sizing, here's the practical breakdown: On EURUSD with a 30-pip stop, 1% risk ($250) allows 8.3 micro lots since each pip equals roughly $1. With a 50-pip stop, you're limited to 5 micro lots. For gold (XAUUSD) where each pip typically equals $1 per micro lot, a 25-pip stop allows 10 micro lots at 1% risk. The key calculation is: Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ (Stop Loss in Pips × Pip Value). Your Phase 1 target is $2,500 (10%), requiring disciplined risk management over multiple trades. Most successful traders achieve this with 15-30 trades risking 1-2% each. Phase 2 drops to a $1,250 target (5%) but maintains the same daily loss limit, making consistency crucial. The daily loss limit resets each day, but remember it's calculated from your daily starting balance, not your initial $25,000. If you're up $500 from previous days, your daily starting balance is $25,500, and 5% of that becomes your new daily limit. The $2,500 maximum drawdown (10%) is calculated from your highest balance achieved, making it a trailing drawdown. Unlike some firms, AquaFunded has no minimum trading days requirement and no consistency rules, giving you flexibility in your trading approach. Focus on keeping individual trade risk between 0.5-2% to maintain multiple opportunities for recovery from losses.
