United Kingdom
Alpha Futures is a prop trading firm based in United Kingdom. Traders typically access capital through a one step path and keep about 90% of profits with up to 4 times per month after 5 winning trading days of $200+ payouts. Evaluation pricing on PropFirmElite starts around $79.
Alpha Futures is a futures prop firm in the Alpha Capital Group ecosystem (UK headquarters) offering one-step evaluations across Premium, Advanced, and Zero plans. Premium replaced the retired Standard plan (May 1, 2026 catalog note) and often presents a pricing fork: lower monthly with a ~$149 activation fee versus higher monthly with no activation — model total cost of pass, not the cheaper monthly line alone.
Advanced tends to price higher with different target/drawdown geometry; Zero emphasizes $0 activation with daily loss limits and qualified-stage payout consistency (often ~40% on Zero payouts) while evaluation consistency may be absent on Zero. Across plans, Alpha Futures is commonly discussed with end-of-day trailing maximum loss limits and a path toward live trading through Alpha Prime for eligible traders.
Payout marketing: up to about four times per month after five winning trading days of $200+, methods including ACH, wire, SWIFT, Wise, and Rise, with ~48 business hour processing language and high advertised splits (often 90%). Seed size examples include $25K Zero (~$79, $1,500 target / $1,000 drawdown, $500 DLL, 1 contract), $50K Premium/Advanced/Zero variants with targets $3,000–$4,000 and drawdowns $1,750–$2,000, and $100K lines scaling targets to $6,000–$8,000.
Platforms: WealthCharts, DeepChart, Quantower, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView with dXFeed, Volumetrica, or Tradovate feeds depending on stack. Eval/qualified accounts must typically flat before ~4:20 PM ET; weekend holding off; EAs listed as not allowed while scalping is allowed — automation traders must verify.
Traders who want EOD trailing risk, multi-plan shopping inside one brand family, and international payout method flexibility.
Pure US-only shoppers who refuse UK-ecosystem brands, EA users if policy remains blocked, overnight swing traders on evaluation rules.
Flexible Premium activation fork and Zero $0-activation path, offset by plan complexity and the need to re-check post-May-2026 Premium rules. Compare Zero vs MyFundedFutures $0 activation plans, Premium vs Take Profit Trader activation economics, and Advanced vs higher-target products.
Pick Premium vs Advanced vs Zero first, write activation choice explicitly, then confirm qualified payout consistency before checkout. Because Premium pricing can fork activation vs monthly, build a one-line total-cost model for the first funded month before comparing Alpha to $0-activation US peers. Confirm EA prohibition and flat-by-4:20 ET rules if your strategy depends on either automation or late holds.
