Alpha Futures review

Alpha Futures is a registered UK company (Alpha Futures Limited, 15655643) owned by the same group as Alpha Capital, and it has paid many traders. Since July 2026, though, it has voided and then deferred Premium-plan payouts, slowed standard payouts and been delisted by PropFirmMatch, so it is a real firm carrying high payout risk right now.

Yes, many traders report payouts, and the firm says approved standard payouts now arrive within five business days. But 45.6% of the 1-2 star Trustpilot reviews we classified report a denied payout and about half a delayed one, and some Premium-plan payouts from July 2026 were still outstanding in October.

The firm's September 2026 update says five business days or less once a request is approved, down from the same-day payouts it advertised before July. Reviews from August to October describe two to six weeks, and Premium-plan payouts run on a separate batch schedule.

Alpha Futures does not publish one. We estimate around 12% of evaluations reach a Qualified account, based on its 6-8% targets and 3-4% end-of-day drawdown compared with two-step challenges that firms have disclosed at about 10%.

The ones that cost traders money are judged at payout: tick scalping (a pattern of trades under 10 ticks and 2 minutes), hedging between your own accounts, group trading and the one-person-per-household rule. Add the 40% or 20% consistency rule on most Qualified accounts, the 2-minute news window and payout caps of 50% of profit per request.

Yes in every evaluation and on Advanced Qualified accounts. On Zero, Standard and Direct Qualified accounts no order may execute within 2 minutes before or after a red-folder ForexFactory event; doing so voids that trade's profit and the payout, and repeat violations breach the account.

No. AI, bots and fully automated trading are banned on all accounts, as are strategies that take more than 100 trades a day. Indicators that give signals are fine as long as you place and manage each trade yourself.

Yes. The United States is not on the restricted list, and a large share of its Trustpilot reviewers are American. About 60 countries are excluded, including Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia.

The firm runs its own codes on its official promotions page, usually a percentage off the first evaluation or Direct account, and affiliate links default to 10% off. Check that page for what is live, as the codes change with each campaign.

Alpha Futures Limited is owned by Alpha Group UK Holdings Ltd, the holding company behind Alpha Capital Group. George Kohler and Andrew Blaylock are its directors, and Kohler is listed as managing director and founder.

Hitting the end-of-day trailing loss limit ends the account. In an evaluation you can buy a reset or wait for the monthly rebill; Zero and Standard Qualified accounts can be reset for $399-$999 up to twice if you never requested a payout, and Advanced and Direct accounts cannot.

Zero is easiest to pass: a 6% target, no consistency rule and one minimum day, but payouts are capped at $1,000-$2,500. Standard adds a 50% consistency rule for bigger caps, and Advanced needs 8% with a 40% rule but has no rules on payout consistency or news once qualified.

No. All simulated accounts must be flat by 4:20 PM ET each day, and the firm closes anything left open. Overnight holding is only possible for traders later moved to its live program.
