How to pass Alpha Futures (2026 rules)
Alpha Futures — the futures arm of Alpha Capital Group, launched 2024 — leads with a single strong design choice: the Maximum Loss Limit is end-of-day trailing on every account. Where Topstep and Take Profit Trader can cut a funded account on an intraday wick, Alpha only checks at the close.
⚠ Rules change often. Always verify the firm's current rules and Terms of Service directly with the firm before installing or deploying any strategy on their account. The figures below were verified May 2026 and may already have changed.
Alpha Futures runs three one-step plans — Standard (evaluation plus activation fee, tiered split starting at 70%), Advanced (90% split from day one, no consistency rule on qualified accounts, no news restrictions), and Zero (instant funding, no evaluation). All trade CME-family futures, and Expert Advisors / automation are supported.
EOD trailing everywhere is the headline
Alpha states plainly that the MLL is end-of-day trailing on all accounts. It trails upward with profit and locks permanently as a static floor once it reaches your starting balance. For any strategy that tolerates a little intraday movement before resolving, this is the single most important rule of the firm — intraday wicks never tighten your floor, only the close does. That's precisely the regime PVE's sizing model targets.
Pick the plan that matches your style
For a systematic automated trader, the Advanced plan is often the cleanest: 90% from day one, no consistency rule on the qualified account, and no news restrictions — your system runs without a blackout window or a best-day cap. Standard and Advanced evaluations carry a 50% consistency rule and a 2-day minimum; the Zero plan has no consistency rule and can pass in a single day but adds a Daily Loss Guard during evaluation. Automation being supported means PVE strategies can run as designed.
How to pass it
Same discipline as any EOD-trailing firm: size against the MLL buffer, bank gains to lock the floor, and on Standard/Advanced spread profit so no day exceeds 50% of the total. Because the MLL only trails at close, a strategy that books gains and flattens by session end works with the rule rather than against it. Payouts process quickly, typically within 48 business hours.
Alpha Futures' EOD-trailing MLL on every account gives more intraday room than most futures firms, and the Advanced plan strips out the consistency and news rules entirely — close to ideal for a clean automated system.
