Aqua Futures — trailing drawdown — 50k
Rules read from Aqua Futures's own documentation on 2026-07-30 · rules/aqua-futures
Aqua Futures's Beginner models its maximum drawdown as a trailing floor at the 50k account size: the threshold tracks the highest end-of-day closed balance and never moves back down. The corpus records no lock condition — the floor keeps trailing for the life of the evaluation.
