Alpha Futures sells evaluation accounts for trading futures: you pay a fee, trade a simulated account under fixed rules, and if you meet the profit target without breaking a loss limit you may move to a funded or simulated-funded stage with payouts. This page records the rules Alpha Futures publishes for its current plans, in account sizes from $25,000 to $150,000, as of 27 Oct 2026.
The figures that matter most for sizing are the maximum contracts, the daily loss limit and the drawdown. The drawdown type changes how much room you have: an end-of-day trailing limit moves up only with closing balances, an intraday trailing limit follows your highest open equity, and a static limit stays put. Fees, payout splits and payout conditions are shown as published, along with whether the fee is monthly or one-time.
Prop firms change their rules and prices often, sometimes weekly. Every value below links to the page we took it from, and anything we could not confirm from the firm's own pages is listed under “Not verified”. This is a record of published terms, not a recommendation or a ranking, and the firm's current terms always take precedence.
Evaluations are billed monthly; Direct is a one-time fee. No activation fee on any plan.
