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.
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 and 2% gross-profit rules); the split is up to 80%. Alpha 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 scales 80/20 to 90/10 at 20% profit and to 100% (lifetime) at 30%, so the advertised up-to-100% is accurate.
