## 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.

## What this firm publishes

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.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the Alpha Futures profit split?

Alpha Futures pays a 90% profit split on every plan, Zero, Standard, Advanced and Direct, from the first withdrawal. The withdrawal amount is taken from the account and the trader receives 90% of it.

### How much does an Alpha Futures evaluation cost?

Zero evaluations cost $89, $139 or $279 a month for $25,000, $50,000 or $100,000; Standard costs $129, $239 or $349 a month and Advanced $209, $349 or $489 a month for $50,000, $100,000 or $150,000. The subscription ends when you pass, and Direct accounts cost a one-time $349, $519, $689 or $859.

### What are the Alpha Futures drawdown rules?

Every Alpha Futures account uses an end-of-day trailing Maximum Loss Limit that stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance. On $50,000 it is $2,000 on Zero, Standard and Direct and $1,750 on Advanced; Zero evaluations also have a 2% Daily Loss Guard that locks the account until the next trading day.

### Does Alpha Futures have a consistency rule?

Yes, on most accounts. It is 50% in the Standard evaluation, 40% in the Advanced evaluation and none in the Zero evaluation; once Qualified it is 40% on Zero and Standard, 20% on Direct and none on Advanced, and breaking it blocks a withdrawal rather than breaching the account.

### What are the Alpha Futures payout rules?

Zero, Standard and Advanced traders can withdraw up to 4 times a month after every 5 winning days of $200 or more, taking up to 50% of their profit per request. Direct accounts withdraw once they hit a withdrawal profit target and the 20% consistency rule; minimums run from $200 to $1,000 and the maximum is $15,000 per request on Advanced.

### Does Alpha Futures charge an activation fee?

No, not on accounts purchased after July 8, 2026. Before that date Advanced Qualified accounts carried a one-time activation fee of $149.

### Does Alpha Futures allow news trading?

Yes on evaluations and Advanced Qualified accounts, which have no news restrictions. On Direct, Standard and Zero Qualified accounts you may hold through news, but no orders may be executed within 2 minutes before or after a red-folder high impact event.

### Does Alpha Futures offer instant funding?

Its Direct account skips the evaluation and starts on a Qualified account for a one-time fee, in sizes from $25,000 to $150,000. Direct accounts pay a 90% profit split, have no scaling plan and need a withdrawal profit target and a 20% consistency rule before each payout.

### Does Alpha Futures allow bots, copy trading and hedging?

Bots, AI and fully automated trading are prohibited, and hedging is prohibited across accounts and within one account. Copy trading is allowed only across your own accounts, with the trades executed by you.

### How many accounts can you have at Alpha Futures?

Up to 5 Qualified accounts each on Zero, Standard and Direct, and 3 on Advanced. Anyone with an active Advanced Qualified account is limited to 3, and one individual per household may use the service.

### Does Alpha Futures give refunds?

Generally no: the Alpha Futures return policy states that all sales are final and no refunds will be issued. The one exception in its help centre is KYC, where a trader who cannot pass identity screening is refunded in full for a passed or active evaluation.

### Which countries are restricted at Alpha Futures?

Alpha Futures lists 61 restricted countries, including China, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam. Traders must be a resident or citizen of a non-restricted country, and trading while visiting a listed country is not permitted.
