AquaFunded vs Maven Trading

Rules placed next to each other, with the calculation basis written out — because two firms quoting the same percentage can be measuring completely different things.

Not yet verified is not No. Where a cell reads "Not yet verified", we could not confirm the rule from the firm's own terms or help centre. It is not a claim that the rule does not exist.
