Payout policies

Alpha Futures offers flexible payout options designed to reward consistent traders. Payouts are processed weekly or every 14 days, depending on your preference. The profit split ranges from 70% to 90% based on your account type and performance history. Funded traders can request withdrawals through Bank Wire or Cryptocurrency transfers. There is no minimum payout threshold for established accounts, making it easy to access your profits regularly. The firm processes withdrawal requests within 1-3 business days, with crypto payouts typically being faster. Alpha Futures does not charge withdrawal fees for standard payouts, though bank wire transfers may incur third-party fees depending on your location.

Scaling plan

Alpha Futures provides a growth-oriented scaling plan for successful funded traders. After demonstrating consistent profitability and proper risk management, traders can request account size increases. The scaling program allows traders to grow their accounts from the initial $50K-$150K range up to larger capital allocations. Scaling is based on cumulative profit milestones and maintaining the drawdown rules. Traders who show disciplined trading over 3+ months with positive returns may qualify for 25% account increases. The maximum scaling potential allows traders to eventually manage accounts worth $500,000 or more. Each scaling tier comes with improved profit split percentages, with top performers eligible for up to 90% profit retention.

Risk details

Alpha Futures employs a trailing drawdown risk management system to protect capital and encourage disciplined trading. The trailing drawdown starts at 4% (Standard) or 3.5% (Advanced) and follows your account high watermark until it locks at the initial balance. This means as you make profits, your drawdown floor rises with you, but once it reaches your starting balance, it stops trailing. There is no daily drawdown limit, giving traders flexibility in their position sizing and strategy execution. However, exceeding the maximum trailing drawdown results in account termination. Traders are advised to use proper position sizing, typically risking no more than 1-2% per trade, to maintain consistency and avoid breaching drawdown limits during normal market volatility.

Platform & features

Alpha Futures supports industry-leading trading platforms designed for futures trading. NinjaTrader is the primary platform, offering advanced charting, automated trading capabilities, and extensive customization options. Tradovate provides a modern web-based and mobile trading experience with commission-free trading on certain account types. TradingView integration allows traders to execute trades directly from TradingView charts using their Alpha Futures funded account. All platforms provide real-time data feeds, professional-grade order execution, and access to major futures markets including ES, NQ, CL, GC, and more. The platforms support various order types including market, limit, stop, and bracket orders for comprehensive trade management.
