What the rules mean in practice
- To pass, grow the $25K account by $1,500 (6%) without breaking a loss limit.
- On any single day you can lose up to $500 (2%). Check Alpha Futures's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
- The account fails if you lose $1,000 (4%). This is end-of-day trailing drawdown: the loss limit moves up once a day, based on your end-of-day balance, and ignores swings during the session.
- Consistency rule: None in the evaluation; 40% best-day rule per Qualified payout cycle
- At a 90% split, you need about 0.4% return on the funded account to earn back the $89 fee for one month.
- The Daily Loss Guard ($500, $1,000 or $2,000) applies in both stages and counts open and closed P&L; hitting it flattens positions and locks the account until the next session at 6 PM ET, without failing it.
- The Maximum Loss Limit trails the end-of-day balance high, is enforced on open equity during the session, and stops trailing at the starting balance. It does not move up after a payout.
- Qualified payouts: up to 4 requests a month, each after 5 winning days of $200 or more and each up to 50% of account profit, with a $200 minimum and a cap of $1,000, $1,500 or $2,500.
- Qualified 50K and 100K accounts follow a scaling plan; the 25K does not.
- On Qualified accounts no orders may be executed from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news; evaluations have no news restriction.
- An evaluation reset costs $79, $119 or $249, and a failed evaluation is also reset at the monthly rebill. A Qualified account that has never reached a payout request can be reset up to twice, within 7 days of a breach, for $399, $499 or $799.
- The help centre says the subscription ends on passing and Qualified accounts carry no monthly fee, while the plan cards also show the Qualified tier at the same monthly price.
- Up to 5 Zero Qualified accounts per trader.
