Alpha Futures Review: Rules, Profit Split & Payouts
Alpha Futures is a UK based futures prop firm and part of the Alpha Group, alongside Alpha Capital Group and ACG Markets. It sells three one-step evaluations, Zero, Standard and Advanced, paid as a monthly subscription, plus Direct, a one-time-fee account that skips the evaluation and starts on a Qualified (funded) account. Account sizes run from $25,000 to $150,000 on CME Group futures, traded through AlphaTrader, TradingView, WealthCharts, Deepchart or Quantower. The firm leads with a $15,000 maximum payout per request on Advanced accounts, an end-of-day trailing drawdown on every account, and no activation fee on accounts bought after July 8, 2026; it claims $70M in performance fees paid.
The Maximum Loss Limit trails the end-of-day balance and stops trailing at the starting balance. On a $50,000 evaluation the profit target is $3,000 on Zero and Standard and $4,000 on Advanced, against a maximum loss of $2,000, $2,000 and $1,750. Zero adds a 2% Daily Loss Guard that locks the account until the next trading day rather than failing it. The consistency rule is 50% in the Standard evaluation, 40% in Advanced and none on Zero; once Qualified it is 40% on Zero and Standard, 20% on Direct and none on Advanced. Rules that catch traders out: every trade closed before 4:20PM EST each day, no orders within 2 minutes of red-folder news on Zero, Standard and Direct Qualified accounts, bans on bots, hedging and tick scalping, and a trade needed at least every 10 trading days.
Every Alpha Futures plan pays a 90% profit split. Zero, Standard and Advanced accounts can withdraw up to 4 times a month after every 5 winning days of $200 or more, taking up to 50% of profit per request; Direct accounts need a withdrawal profit target and the 20% consistency rule instead. Minimum payouts are $200 on Zero, $500 on Standard and Direct and $1,000 on Advanced. Payouts go by ACH, wire, SWIFT, Wise or Rise, and the firm says requests are processed in 48 business hours or less. Evaluations cost $89 to $489 a month, Direct accounts $349 to $859 once, and the return policy states that all sales are final.

Is Alpha Futures legit?
Prop Firm Pal has not verified Alpha Futures, so this is not an endorsement: it is what the record shows. Its own pages name the operating company as Alpha Futures Limited, in United Kingdom. Its website has been active in Prop Firm Pal's monthly traffic record since November 2025, and traffic over the last three months is falling sharply. It claims $70M paid to traders; that is its own figure, and we have not seen its payout records. Its payout policy is published, and summarised on the Payouts tab.

Alpha Futures web traffic, month by month
Prop Firm Pal has tracked Alpha Futures's website traffic every month since November 2025. In August 2026 the site received an estimated 1.31M visits, down 40% on the month before and down 41% over three months.
Its busiest month on record was June 2026 at roughly 2.82M visits. Traffic now is 54% below that peak.
A fall of this size over a quarter is the pattern that most often precedes a firm winding down, though it is not proof of it on its own — marketing spend, seasonality and a single lost traffic source all produce the same shape. It is worth weighing before paying for an evaluation.
These are third-party estimates of website visits, collected once a month and stored against the month they describe. They are not trader counts, funded-account numbers or revenue.

How Alpha Futures compares in size
Measured on estimated monthly website visits for August 2026, Alpha Futures ranks 15 of the 477 prop firms Prop Firm Pal tracks — larger than 97% of them, at roughly 1.31M visits a month.
The ranking covers every firm measured between June 2026 and August 2026, each on its own latest reading in that window. Firms last measured before June 2026 are left out rather than shown with a stale figure, so the total moves month to month.
Size is not quality. A large firm is one that markets successfully, and several of the most visited firms in this ranking have the strictest rules; some of the smallest pay out reliably to everyone who asks. What the ranking is useful for is scale — whether you are looking at an established operation or something very new.
