Alpha Futures Standard Qualified accounts (50K, 100K, 150K) now follow a scaling plan tied to closed profit. Under $1,500 the limit is 2 minis / 20 micros on 50K and 3 / 30 on 100K and 150K. From $1,500 to under $2,000 it is 3 / 30 on 50K and 4 / 40 on the larger sizes. From $2,000 to under $3,000 every size trades 5 / 50. From $3,000 to under $4,500, 100K and 150K move to 10 / 100, and at $4,500 or more 150K reaches 15 / 150 while 100K stays at 10 / 100; 50K stays at 5 / 50 from $2,000 up. The Standard evaluation lists the same plan, which takes effect once the account is Qualified.
Payout timing also changes: once approved, payouts are paid in five business days or less, where they were processed within 48 business hours before.
Full rules are on the Alpha Futures firm page.
