Review for alpha

Review

I had a pretty average experience with them The firm had a lot of issues whilst i was with them, whether it was their platform issues or their data providers however, they made up for most of their issues. After the issues were resolved, they always had a way to make it up to us whether it was a free account matching current ones value or a big discount for a week. The pricing is very affordable and attractive for someone getting into trading with the discount codes available. The rules are mostly straightforward but there are some rules which are ''Hidden'' or harder to acknowledge like the rule regarding microscalping which is very limiting and easy to miss. Another rule i had an issue is specific to the 25K account for the payout. the rules require you to have 5 days of 200$ in profits to be eligible for a payout, the issue i had with that rule is that 200$ represents 20% of the 25k accounts MLL. I do believe there could be a better dollar amount set in place but its not that limiting. Overall, i do think this is a great firm for someone trying to get into trading without too much of a burden.

This is a great firm i have been trading with them since last year and my first ever prop firm payout was with them. I passed a zero account on 9 jan and request a payout on 21 jan it got approved with 2h and was sent to my wise account within 24h of payout request. Their support is excellent and generally they reply with 4 minutes. I know currently they had issues with premium account plan but i never had issues with zero plan and once for my compensation they gave me a free 100k zero account.

Overall Alpha Futures is a decent firm however their recent Tradovate issues has brought them down a bit. During their promotion I purchased a few evals on their new proprietary trading platform and encountered a ton of issues at launch. Their support team was quick to resolve any issues I had and the firm went above and beyond to compensate for any negative experiences users were having. I was very happy with their customer care however the trading experience on their new platform was sub par. Many times there were glitches not allowing me to enter trades, bad slippage when compared to other platforms I was taking the same trade on, delayed feature roll out and random outages. Giving credit where its due, these issue were slowly fixed over time. Their trading rules were clear and to the point. I enjoyed their flexibility on account types and their rules. During the Tradovate fiasco I requested a payout and the firm was undergoing major internal changes. Unfortunately this delayed my payout by over a week. During this time customer support was responsive and assuring my issues would get resolved however it was the longest I ever had to wait for a payout.

I used Smart Points to get an account the day Alpha Futures stopped offering Tradovate. That was unfortunate. I chose Wealthcharts and was highly disappointed in the platform. Alpha may be a decent company, but I don't like the Wealthcharts and Alpha Trader platform choices. If you're not looking to try a new platform, you may want to use a different firm. I did have a good experience using Alpha Futures in the past on the Tradovate platform.

Solid prop firm, but unfortunately Alpha can’t quite keep up with some of the competition anymore. The support has always been very good in my experience, but the new Alpha Trader platform is unfortunately not that great. Overall, still a decent firm, but there are better options available nowadays.
