Competition Terms
The terms of the AquaPerps competition: at least $1,000,000 in funded accounts.
01 The rules
$1,000,000 in funded accounts. 5 accounts every day, plus the top 60 overall at launch. First place takes $100K.
How you score: invite a friend who joins, 1,000 points. Post about AquaPerps on X, 300 points (one a day). Other traders can Back you (+35% of your points) or Fade you (−35%).
Every day the top 5 win a $5K account. At launch the top 60 overall win the big prizes, 1st place $100K.
Connect your X, share your link, post, get backed. That's it.
To back someone: hey @aquaperps, back @trader. To fade someone: hey @aquaperps, fade @trader.
You can't back or fade yourself; you can hold 5 live calls at a time and change your mind by posting again; only connected competitors count, on both sides.
02 Dates
The competition starts at 2026-11-10T11:46:38Z and runs until launch. Each day is a UTC day, 00:00 to 23:59:59, and each day's ranking is taken at 00:00 UTC. Launch ends the competition at 2026-11-18T23:59:59Z; if that moves, the new time is posted here first. The board locks then, and the final table is published after the review.
03 Who can take part
You take part with a confirmed signup to the AquaPerps waitlist and a connected X account. One X account per person and one person per X account. Taking part costs nothing.
An X account must be at least 30 days old to score. A younger account is flagged and may be removed at the review.
You must be old enough to hold a trading account where you live.
04 How points are counted
A friend counts for 1,000 points when they join through your link and confirm their email during the competition. If you connect your X later, the friends who confirmed during the competition count from the moment you connect.
A post counts for 300 points, one a UTC day, when it is posted during the competition from your connected X account and names AquaPerps, tags @aquaperps or carries your waitlist or referral link. We see a post when it tags @aquaperps, or when you paste its link on your You're in page.
A back or a fade is a post from a connected competitor that tags @aquaperps and says "back @handle" or "fade @handle". A competitor holds at most 5 live calls; a newer call on the same trader replaces the older one, and a sixth call ends the oldest. Calls on yourself, and calls to or from anyone not competing, do not count.
05 Prizes
The prizes total at least $1,000,000 in funded accounts: the top 60 overall at launch, and five $5K accounts every day until launch, so the total grows with every day the competition runs.
| Place | Accounts | Each | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | $100K | $100,000 |
| 2 to 4 | 3 | $50K | $150,000 |
| 5 to 13 | 9 | $25K | $225,000 |
| 14 to 31 | 18 | $10K | $180,000 |
| 32 to 60 | 29 | $5K | $145,000 |
| Daily top 5, every day until launch | 45 | $5K | $225,000 |
| In all | 105 | $1,025,000 |
Every prize is a funded challenge account on AquaPerps, issued on launch day to the winner's AquaPerps account under the email that took part. Prizes are non-transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash, and are subject to the challenge's own rules. A winner who cannot be verified, or who is not eligible, forfeits the prize, and it is not reassigned.
The daily winners are pending until we confirm them after a review. A competitor can win on more than one day and also place overall.
06 Review and removal
Before the final table and before each day's winners are confirmed, we review the board for:
- Several entries from the same device or the same IP address.
- An X account less than 30 days old.
- Referral rings: accounts that refer each other, and bursts of sign-ups from one IP address.
- Duplicate posts: the same post repeated to collect points.
- Fake, automated or disposable sign-ups, and anything else that games the scoring.
We may remove points, calls or a competitor for any of these, or for anything else that breaks these terms. A removed competitor's backs and fades stop counting for the traders they named. Our decision at the review is final.
07 X
The competition is not sponsored, endorsed or run by X. Connecting your X account lets us read your public profile and the posts that mention us; we never post for you. You can disconnect AquaPerps in your X settings at any time; your points stay until the review.
08 Organiser
Aqua Funded FZCO t/a AquaFunded ("AquaFunded") located at IFZA Business Park, DDP, Premises No.- 35882-001 Dubai Silicon Oasis Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
09 General
We may change or end the competition if something outside our control makes it unfair to run; any change is posted here with a new date.
Trading perpetual futures involves substantial risk and is not suitable for everyone. AquaPerps accounts are simulated evaluation accounts; AquaPerps is not a broker or exchange and does not execute trades on your behalf.
