Who is this for?
There is no time limit on the evaluation, but the monthly subscription keeps running until you pass. Work out the total cost before you start.
Clear rules and several programmes. Mind the consistency rule and closing all positions before 4:20 PM ET.
Direct skips the evaluation, but you pay a one-time price, have a 20% consistency rule and a profit target per payout. This does not guarantee a payout.
Prop firm evaluations cost money and most rules require risk-management experience. Practise on a demo account first.

90% profit split from the start on Zero, Standard, Advanced and Direct accounts; no tiered system. The separate Live programme (after review) pays 80%.
Payout policies
As of 2026-10-10 Alpha Futures states a 90% profit split on Zero, Standard, Advanced and Direct. You can request a payout up to 4 times per month: after every 5 winning trading days of at least $200 (not necessarily consecutive), with at most 50% of the profit per request. Standard and Zero Qualified have a 40% consistency rule, Advanced Qualified has none. Direct requires a withdrawal profit target and a 20% consistency rule. Minimum and maximum per request depend on the account type: for example Advanced $1,000-$15,000, Standard $500 up to $3,000-$5,000 (by size), Zero $200 up to $1,000-$2,500. Payouts go via ACH (US), wire, SWIFT, Wise or Rise, in USD. Payouts are based on simulated results. Selected traders can move to a separate Live programme with an 80% split after a review.
Scaling plan
Standard and Zero Qualified accounts use a scaling plan: your maximum position size grows with the profit on the account. On a Zero 50K Qualified account, for example, you may trade 1 mini (10 micros) with less than $1,500 profit and 3 minis with $2,000-$3,000 profit. See the current tables in the Alpha Futures help centre. Advanced and Direct Qualified accounts have no scaling plan; Advanced always has the full contract limit.

Maximum Loss Limit is EOD trailing on all accounts and stops trailing at the starting balance. Standard and Zero 50K: $2,000 (4%); Advanced 50K: $1,750 (3.5%). Daily Loss Guard: none on Advanced; none on Standard evaluations; Zero and qualified Standard/Direct accounts have one.
Risk details
Alpha Futures uses a Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) on all accounts that is end-of-day trailing. The threshold follows your highest daily closing balance, not the intraday high, and stops at the starting balance. Example from the help centre: on a $50K Zero account the MLL is $2,000 (4%); if you close at $52,000 the threshold locks at $50,000. If you hit the MLL, including floating equity, the account is liquidated. Standard and Zero Qualified accounts also have a Daily Loss Guard (for example $1,000 on a 50K Standard Qualified account); Advanced has none. All positions must be closed before 4:20 PM ET and you must place a trade at least once every 10 trading days. You pay monthly for the evaluation, so the subscription cost is lost if you do not pass.
