Alpha Futures vs Funded Futures Family, round by round

The five things that decide whether a funded account works for you, in the order you live them.

Round 1Funded Futures Family

Cost to get funded

The price after the discount code, plus any activation fee. Most traders fail at least once, so the cheaper account is also cheaper to try again.

How it is scored: Lower all-in price wins
Alpha Futures$65
Funded Futures Family$18

Funded Futures Family costs $18 all-in, $47 less than Alpha Futures at $65.

Round 2Tie

Room to trade

The drawdown is the line that ends the account. A line that moves less, with more room under it, means a normal pullback does not blow the account.

How it is scored: Static beats end-of-day beats intraday, then more room wins
Alpha Futures
End-of-Day
$2,000 of room
Funded Futures Family
End-of-Day
$2,000 of room

Both use an end-of-day drawdown, which only moves when the trading day closes, and both let you lose $2,000 before the account fails.

Round 3Funded Futures Family

Rules that can end it

How it is scored: Fewer of these rules wins

Round 4Alpha Futures

Round 5Alpha Futures

Alpha Futures$2,70090% split
Funded Futures Family$2,25090% split
