Firm Intel & Review
Alpha Futures Technical Infrastructure
Alpha Futures, established in July 2024, is a futures-focused proprietary trading firm offering a single-step evaluation structure across three program tiers: Standard, Zero, and Advanced. The firm provides access to simulated futures markets across three account sizes — $50,000, $100,000, and $150,000 — with each tier carrying different pricing, payout structures, and profit split schedules. As a newer entrant in the futures prop space launched in mid-2024, Alpha Futures targets traders seeking a streamlined 1-step path to funded trading.
The Standard plan covers all three account sizes: $50K at $67.15 (original $79.00), $100K at $135.15 (original $159.00), and $150K at $203.15 (original $239.00). The Zero plan is available at $50K for $84.15 (original $99.00) and $100K for $169.15 (original $199.00). The Advanced plan spans all three sizes: $50K at $118.15 (original $139.00), $100K at $237.15 (original $279.00), and $150K at $356.15 (original $419.00). Payments are accepted via Credit/Debit Card and Crypto.
All trading is conducted on NinjaTrader, TradingView, or Tradovate. The instrument coverage is limited to futures. No leverage details are published for futures-specific instruments. News trading terms are not specified. EAs, bots, and automated trading systems are prohibited across all account types and program tiers. The inactivity threshold is set at 10 trading days before account deactivation applies.
Payout structures differ by program tier. The Standard plan pays out every 14 days with a tiered profit split: 70% for payouts 1 and 2, 80% for payouts 3 and 4, and 90% from the fifth payout onward, with a maximum per-payout cap of $15,000. The Zero plan offers a 90% split with weekly payouts after completing 5 winning days of at least $200 profit each. The Advanced plan pays 90% weekly, but applies a reduced 50% split during the first 30 days. Minimum payout is $200 for Standard and Zero; $1,000 for Advanced. Processing takes 48 business hours or less. Payout methods include ACH, Bank Wire Transfer, Riseworks, Swift, and Wise.
Alpha Futures prohibits all-or-nothing trading practices, gambling and account rolling, and tick or micro scalping defined as trades under 10 ticks and under 2 minutes in duration. Trades entered within 2% of the CME daily price limit are also prohibited. The Drawdown Adjustment Rule specifies that withdrawing all profits immediately after a trailing balance adjustment triggers account closure. Traders must maintain at least 1 active trading day every 10 calendar days during evaluations. There are no published consistency requirements.
