| Company | Alpha Futures Limited, United Kingdom, operating since 2024. Evaluation and Qualified accounts are simulated; a separate Live Trader Program is by invitation |
|---|
| Account models | Zero, Standard and Advanced (one-stage evaluations billed monthly) and Direct (a paid Qualified account with no evaluation). Premium was discontinued in July 2026 |
|---|
| Account sizes | Zero: $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000. Standard and Advanced: $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000. Direct: $25,000 to $150,000 |
|---|
| Profit split | 90% of each approved payout request on Qualified accounts |
|---|
| Profit target | Zero and Standard 6%; Advanced 8%. Direct has no evaluation but needs fresh profit each payout cycle ($3,000, then $2,000, on $50,000) |
|---|
| Maximum loss | An end-of-day trailing Maximum Loss Limit that follows the highest closing balance, never moves down and locks once it reaches the starting balance. A breach can happen intraday on equity |
|---|
| Daily Loss Guard | Zero: $500 to $2,000 in both stages. Standard: none in the evaluation, $1,000 to $3,000 once Qualified. Advanced: none. Direct: $500 to $3,000 |
|---|
| Minimum trading days | Zero 1, Standard 2, Advanced 3 — the earliest possible pass, not a promise |
|---|
| Consistency rule | The largest day as a share of total profit. Evaluation: Standard 50%, Advanced 40%, Zero none. Qualified: Zero and Standard 40%, Direct 20%, Advanced none. Measured since the last payout request; exceeding it delays a payout rather than breaching the account |
|---|
| Payouts | Zero, Standard and Advanced: five winning days of at least $200 between requests, up to four requests a month, each up to 50% of profit and the plan's cap (Zero $1,000 to $2,500, Standard $3,000 to $5,000, Advanced $15,000). Direct: cycle targets, with caps of $1,000 to $3,000 |
|---|
| Payout speed | Within five business days of approval, per Alpha's operational update; same-day is an aim, not a guarantee |
|---|
| Contract limits | Evaluation ceilings from 1 mini (Zero $25,000) to 15 minis (Standard and Advanced $150,000); Standard and Zero Qualified accounts start lower and scale with profit |
|---|
| Platforms | AlphaTrader, TradingView (via Plus500), WealthCharts, Deepchart and Quantower. The choice is locked at purchase |
|---|
| Instruments | Approved CME Group futures and micro futures; MBT and MET crypto micros count as full minis for position limits |
|---|
| Trading hours | The session opens at 6 p.m. Eastern and every position must be closed by 4:20 p.m. Eastern. No holding through the daily close or the weekend |
|---|
| News trading | Allowed in every evaluation and on Advanced Qualified accounts. Zero, Standard and Direct Qualified accounts: no order execution two minutes either side of high-impact releases |
|---|
| EAs, bots and copy trading | Fully automated trading is prohibited. Copying between your own Alpha Futures accounts is allowed |
|---|
| Inactivity | At least one trade every ten trading days |
|---|
| Multiple accounts | Up to five Qualified accounts (three on Advanced, per the help center); advertised maximum allocation $750,000 |

|---|
| Activation fee | None on current Zero, Standard, Advanced or Direct purchases |
|---|
| Refunds | Sales are final; no refunds |
|---|
