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.
The daily limit is a % of the HIGHER of the day's opening balance or equity (a big overnight floating gain raises your floor), and max loss is static except on Zero, whose 5% trailing line locks at breakeven.
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.
Hard daily limit of 3–5% by model on the higher of opening balance or equity — an equity touch closes the account instantly, even with the trade still open.
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.
Three distinct mechanisms: a 35% score for On-Demand payouts, a 15% best-day cap on Zero, and a concentration policy imposing a permanent 4-profitable-day gate if one trade idea exceeds 60% of the target.
Phase 1 10% ($5,000), Phase 2 5% ($2,500), minimum 3 days per phase; 10% ($5,000) max overall loss, 5% daily.
Two phases: 8% ($4,000) and 5% ($2,500), minimum 3 days; 10% ($5,000) max overall loss, 5% 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.
You trade split for cadence: 60% weekly, 80% bi-weekly, 90% on-demand (behind the 35% consistency gate) or 100% monthly, with the first payout 7 days after your first trade.
$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 2-Step Standard: one-time $529 — the nearest size we could verify, because FundingPips' price pages did not serve to us. We publish no $50K figure. No monthly fee and no activation fee; the registration fee is refunded at your 4th reward on 1-Step and 2-Step Standard Master accounts, but not on Pro, Flex or Zero.
