Rule by rule
Alpha One uses a 6% trail off the balance high-water mark that locks at breakeven after +6%; all other programs use static 6–10% floors, always breached on live equity. Funded accounts bought after July 21, 2026 also carry a per-asset Max Risk cap on open drawdown — 3% ($5K–$25K), 2% ($50K–$200K), 1% (Alpha Direct) — and a breach closes the account.
Express and Instant use a 6% relative drawdown trailing the CLOSED balance high (floating equity never moves it) that locks at the starting balance; the 2-Step Classic uses a static 8% on both phases.
A hard daily limit of 3–5% by program, set from balance (or the greater of balance/equity) at 00:00 GMT+3 and breached on live equity — touching it closes the account.
A 4% daily limit (6% on Instant) whose basis is in documented conflict between the prior day's closed balance and the higher of balance or equity, plus a hard 3% per-symbol daily limit on Classic.
No consistency in any evaluation; only on-demand payouts require your best day to stay within 40% of total profits and 2% of gross profits left in the account — the bi-weekly path has no rule.
The Classic requires no day to exceed 35% of net profit in each step, and the funded account 50% per payout period — it never fails the account, only delays passing or paying.
Phase 1 10% ($5,000), Phase 2 5% ($2,500), minimum 3 days per phase; 10% ($5,000) max overall loss, 5% daily.
7% per phase ($3,500), no minimum days; static 8% ($4,000) max overall loss, 4% daily.
Traders choose bi-weekly payouts (first request needs a minimum $100 profit and at least 5 trading days) or on-demand (subject to the 40% best-day rule and to leaving 2% of gross profit in the account). The standard split is 80%, rising to 90% on Alpha Direct or by buying the 90% split add-on. Alpha's own pages do not state a fixed 14-day start or 2-business-day processing.
Withdrawals begin day 1 on Express/Instant then every 7 days; the 2-Step Classic pays every 10 days. The split starts at 80/20 and rises to 90/10 at 20% profit. Beyond that, FT+'s own channels disagree: the homepage advertises "up to 100% via add-ons", while the help centre's Profit Split article documents the ladder stopping at 90/10 and no 100% tier at all. Unresolved, and we do not pick a side — until FT+ documents it, treat 90% as the ceiling you can point to in writing and 100% as unconfirmed.
$50K Alpha One: one-time $297, from Alpha Capital's own product page on 2026-07-21. That price belongs to Alpha One, not to Alpha Pro 10%, whose per-size prices we have not captured. Discount codes of around 15% circulate through affiliates rather than the firm's own pages, which showed no sitewide promo when we read them. Whether there is an activation fee is unestablished: no claim either way was captured.
$100K 1-Step Express: $549, read on Funded Trading Plus' own site. A second-hand table puts the $50K Express at $349. For Classic we hold only the ends of the ladder, $89 at $10K and $549 at $100K, so we publish no $50K Classic figure. Size-tiered codes run on their own pages: SIZE25 covers $25K to $50K, SIZE20 covers $100K to $200K. Recurring and activation fees are undocumented rather than confirmed absent.
