What this means for a systematic strategy
Alpha Futures runs end-of-day trailing across all plans, which on paper is the friendliest model. The July 2026 sequence — execution-layer partner lost, Premium accounts closed, payouts withheld then partially resumed — is the more important fact for anyone evaluating the firm now. The execution stack dependency it exposed applies to every firm routing through Tradovate, and the card is deliberately short: rules that were published before July may not describe the accounts on sale now.
