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.
A static 10% max loss from initial balance and a 5% daily limit anchored to the higher of the previous close's balance or equity — nothing trails, but touching either terminates the account.
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 hard 5% daily limit on High Stakes measured against the higher of the previous midnight's balance or equity — hitting it terminates the account.
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.
There is no percentage consistency rule, but each step requires at least 3 profitable days of +0.5% or more, which blocks one-day passes.
Phase 1 10% ($5,000), Phase 2 5% ($2,500), minimum 3 days per phase; 10% ($5,000) max overall loss, 5% daily.
Two steps: 8% and 5% (a 10%/5% variant also exists), minimum 3 days each; 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 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.
First withdrawal 14 days after the funded account is activated and every 2 weeks thereafter, at an 80% split scaling to 100%; performance is rewarded with redeemable hub credit toward future challenges — not a cash refund of your fee.
