Alpha Capital Group $10,000 Alpha Direct Instant Account Rules
Exact dollar thresholds, breach math, and verified sources for this tier.
All-In Cost to First Payout
Sticker price vs real cost — All-In Quantitative Fee Model
If you pass first try
Assumes pass on first attempt. Add 1–2 resets for realistic avg (FPFX: only 7% get payout).
Realistic (1 reset avg)
Non-refundable — every reset is sunk cost
Assumes 1 reset(s). Data fees vary by platform. FPFX base rate: ~7% ever get payout — budget for resets.
Methodology: challenge + resets + activation + data + add-ons − documented refund. Futures add $38/mo data + $149 activation where applicable. We never hide reset cost behind “bonus” language.
RISK ANALYSIS
How Can I Fail This Account?
Before spending capital on this evaluation, these are the exact mathematical and operational tripwires that disqualify traders on this specific model.
Daily Loss at 00:00 Rollover
Daily loss is calculated against your day-starting balance/equity. Holding floating drawdown into the 00:00 server reset can breach on spread widening alone.
30-Day Inactivity Forfeiture
30 consecutive days without a trade = automatic lock and revoked credentials. Many pass the evaluation and pause before the next step, losing all progress.
Withdrawal Gates Bite After Passing
Build 3% profit buffer ($300 on 10K) that stays, then +1% gross ($100) = 4% total ($400) before first payout request; 15% best day applies (best day ×6.67 = total needed). Min 1% of gross profits per payout.
Banned Patterns Pass Silently, Fail at Payout
Grid, martingale, all-in sizing, copied signals, and cross-account hedging often trigger no dashboard warning during evaluation — the review lands when you request real money.
COMPLETE RULEBOOK
Every Rule on This Account
Daily drawdown, max drawdown, targets, trading days, payouts, news, holding, automation, inactivity — each rule translated to this 10,000 account's exact dollar numbers.
Daily Loss Limit: 3% ($300/day)
Your daily allowance is fixed off the starting balance and counts open + closed P&L. It resets at 0:00 server time. Intraday profits temporarily widen the buffer, but the base never changes — lose the full allowance in 24 hours and the account is terminated on the spot.
Maximum Loss: 5% (floor starts at $9,500)
Trailing: the floor rises with every new peak, never slides back down, and locks at $10,000 once profits cover the full allowance. Across the whole lifetime of the account, equity can never print below the current floor.
No Profit Target
This account is funded from day one — there is nothing to pass. Your only job is protecting the trailing maximum while growing toward an on-demand withdrawal.
No Minimum Trading Days
Hit the target in a single session and you pass — no forced grinding. Discipline still applies: every other rule (drawdown, consistency where active, strategy bans) is fully enforced on that one day.
Payouts: On-Demand (90% split) · 90% split
Build 3% profit buffer ($300 on 10K) that stays, then +1% gross ($100) = 4% total ($400) before first payout request; 15% best day applies (best day ×6.67 = total needed). Min 1% of gross profits per payout.. Your share of every approved withdrawal is 90%.
News Trading: Restricted
5-min each side banned on targeted instrument (Direct/Swing/One/Pro same window)
Holding: Weekend Closed · Overnight Allowed
5-min each side banned on targeted instrument (Direct/Swing/One/Pro same window)
Expert Advisors / Bots: Not Allowed
Manual trading only. Any EA, bot, or automation layer is prohibited on this account.
Copy Trading & Hedging Boundaries
Copy trading between your own accounts is permitted — third-party signals and for-hire management stay banned. Hedging inside this single account is fine; mirrored positions across accounts or external brokers are banned.
Inactivity: 30 Days
Place at least one trade every 30 consecutive days or the account is automatically deactivated — no warning email, no extension. This kills more passed evaluations than any market move: traders pass, take a break, and return to revoked credentials.
Consistency Rule Active
15% best day on Direct; 40% on other plans
Markets, Leverage & Platforms
Trade Forex · Metals · Indices · Energy. Leverage: FX 1:30 · Metals 1:9 · Indices 1:10 · Oil 1:10. Platforms: Alpha Trader, MetaTrader 5, cTrader.
