What the rules mean in practice
- There is no evaluation. You trade a funded $150K account from day one, so the loss limits are the only rules between you and a payout.
- On any single day you can lose up to $3,000 (2%). Check Alpha Futures's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
- The account fails if you lose $4,500 (3%). This is end-of-day trailing drawdown: the loss limit moves up once a day, based on your end-of-day balance, and ignores swings during the session.
- Consistency rule: 20% best-day rule in each payout cycle
- At a 90% split, you need about 0.64% return on the funded account to earn back the $859 fee.
- A one-time fee buys a Qualified account with no evaluation and no subscription.
- The first request needs $1,500, $3,000, $6,000 or $9,000 of profit; each later request needs $1,000, $2,000, $4,000 or $6,000 of new profit, and unused profit does not carry over.
- No single day may reach 20% of net profit since the last request; going over delays the payout but does not breach the account.
- Requests start at $500 and are capped at $1,000, $2,000, $2,500 or $3,000 (25K to 150K). One help article lists $1,500 for the 50K.
- The Daily Loss Guard ($500, $1,000, $2,000 or $3,000) locks the account for the rest of the session without failing it.
- No scaling plan and no reset; a breach ends the account.
- No orders may be executed from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news.
- Up to 5 Direct accounts; the product page says the limit applies per size tier.
