Alpha Futures rules

16 rules apply at Alpha Futures whichever account you buy. 8 are conditional, and those are the ones that end accounts, so read the detail. Below them: the platforms, data feeds, hours and the countries it refuses.
!Warning

This firm is under a warning status

On July 12, 2026, NinjaTrader terminated its contract with Alpha Futures, ending new accounts on Tradovate. Alpha announced the Premium Plan would close with all accounts refunded, "including all pending/unpaid payouts." On July 15 they reversed course, stating approved Premium payouts "WILL be made in batches," with the first batch covering 10%. By July 21, Alpha reported $2M+ in refunds processed and remaining payouts in progress. Other plans migrated to AlphaTrader with same-day payouts resumed. We are not featuring Alpha's offers until outstanding Premium payouts are fully paid.

  • Alpha Futures Zero Evaluations have no consistency rule and can pass in one day. Standard Evaluations have a 50% consistency rule and Advanced Evaluations a 40% rule.

  • Funded consistency

    Conditional

    Alpha Futures Zero and Standard Qualified accounts have a 40% consistency rule, Direct Qualified accounts a 20% rule, and Advanced Qualified accounts have none. Standard No Cons accounts, which include the No Consistency in Qualified add-on (+$70/+$90/+$110 a month), have no Qualified consistency rule; their 50% evaluation rule still applies.

  • News trading

    Conditional

    Alpha Futures allows news trading on every Evaluation and on Advanced Qualified accounts. Zero, Standard and Direct Qualified accounts may hold through red-folder news but cannot place orders 2 minutes before or after it.

  • Swing trading

    Not allowed
  • Alpha Futures allows copy trading only between accounts owned by the same user; group, reverse and automated trading are prohibited.

  • Algorithmic trading

    Conditional

    Alpha Futures bans AI, bots and fully automated trading on every account. Semi-automated tools, such as an indicator that gives signals, are allowed if you place, monitor and manage every trade yourself.

  • Scalping

    Conditional

    Alpha Futures has no minimum hold time. Repeated tick or micro-scalping, meaning trades under 10 ticks and under 2 minutes, is prohibited; an occasional fast trade is not penalized.

  • Alpha Futures allows reasonable averaging down on a position. Excessively stacking orders, which the firm calls order book spamming, is prohibited.

  • Hedging

    Not allowed
  • Alpha Futures restricts automated high-frequency trading and will not work with strategies taking 100 or more trades a day, whether automated or manual.

  • VPN use

    Not allowed
  • VPS use

    Conditional

    Alpha Futures allows a VPS for trading but not during KYC identity verification.

  • KYC

    Applies

    Yes. Alpha Futures verifies identity through Veriff, using a government ID and a selfie, before you receive a Qualified account and contract. You can complete it at any time, but do not use a VPN or VPS during the verification.

  • Evaluation time limit

    None
  • Alpha Futures requires at least one trade, of any size, every 10 trading days to keep an Evaluation or Qualified account active, because the platforms archive inactive accounts after 10 trading days.

  • Yes. Alpha Futures has a clear path to live. The firm can invite Qualified traders to live capital after five payouts (or strong lifetime results). Invitees choose the Live Program at an 80% profit split or Alpha Prime at a 60% split with 12 monthly bonuses (50% of Qualified sim profit, max $75,000).
