Purchase prices read from the official pricing tables on 2026-08-17; Advanced evaluation reset prices and no-Qualified-subscription policy checked separately on 2026-09-05. Alpha discounts often, so checkout may differ. Help and terms disagree on whether a manual reset moves the rebill date; use the actual dashboard due date. The Premium plan closed 2026-07-12 and is no longer sold; the plan named Standard is a different, currently-sold product.

The desk’s read
Alpha Futures is a UK Alpha-Group futures firm running a one-step evaluation across Zero, Standard and Advanced account types plus a straight-to-funded Direct plan (25K–150K), in a simulated environment on an end-of-day trailing max-loss limit that locks at the starting balance. It advertises a 90% split at the simulated stage — a live call-up cuts that to 80% on the Live Program or 60% on Alpha Prime — with payouts after five $200+ winning days, up to four times a month (Advanced: $1,000 minimum and $15,000 maximum per request). Evaluation subscriptions end at pass and Qualified accounts have no monthly subscription (Direct is one-time). Activation is waived on purchases after 2026-07-08, not retroactively for older accounts. The former standard Premium plan closed 2026-07-12 in the NinjaTrader/Tradovate split; the currently-sold plan named Standard is a different product. Accounts now run on AlphaTrader and three partner platforms.
