The desk’s read
Alpha Futures is a UK Alpha-Group futures firm running a one-step evaluation across Advanced and Zero 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, with payouts after five $200+ winning days, up to four times a month (Advanced: $1,000 minimum and $15,000 maximum per request). Pricing is a monthly subscription that keeps billing once funded (Direct is one-time), with no activation fees on purchases after 2026-07-08. The former standard Premium plan closed 2026-07-12 in the NinjaTrader/Tradovate split, and accounts now run on AlphaTrader and three partner platforms.
