Average Trade Duration

The average duration of all trades must be greater than 2 minutes. At least 50% of gross generated profits on Qualified Accounts, or 50% of total targeted profits during evaluations, must come from trades lasting more than 2 minutes. A breach during evaluation requires restarting from Phase 1; a Qualified Account breach removes all profits and resets the account to its initial balance.

Prohibited Strategies

• Exploiting unrealistic prices/mispricing or front-running price feeds
• Latency trading
• Arbitrage trading
• High-frequency trading
• Reverse trading/group hedging
• Order-book spamming
• Group trading/signal following

Account Management

Account management services are prohibited; all accounts and trades must be handled by the trader whose name is on the account.

Stop-Loss & Take-Profit

Stop-loss and take-profit orders are not generally stated as mandatory in the core plan rules.

Breach Classifications

Rule breaches can be classified as soft breaches, hard breaches resulting in account failure, or serious breaches that can result in a complete platform/funding ban. Alpha Capital may terminate agreements immediately for breaches, remove invalid-trade profits or the entire payout-window profits depending on the breach, and prevent passed evaluations from advancing to Qualified status.

Qualified Account Max Risk Rule

Applies to accounts purchased after July 21, 2026:

• $5K / $10K / $25K accounts: 3% max open risk per asset.
• $50K / $100K / $200K accounts: 2% max open risk per asset.

Multiple positions on the same asset are combined, and a same-direction re-entry within 10 minutes combines the losses. Breaching the threshold closes the account. This rule is additional to the Daily Drawdown and Maximum Drawdown rules.

Standard profit split is 80% of eligible Qualified Account profits. An optional 90% Profit Split add‑on (selected at purchase) raises the split to 90% and is available on all Alpha One plans and On‑Demand Alpha Pro plans.
