Review for alpha

Review

This firm was very good especially the premium accounts but recently took mine away and haven't received my refund. I talked to their customer care and they just said a whole summary without even talking to me. Other than that pretty good accounts but I think they're not going to be working with Ninja trader anymore.

Alpha Futures "Alpha Zero": Is It Actually a Game-Changer? 🚀 If you’ve been in the futures space for a while, you know the drill: pay for an eval, pass it, then get hit with a "hidden" $150 activation fee. This is exactly where Alpha Futures caught my eye with their Alpha Zero (25k & 50k) accounts. I’ve put these through the paces, and while they aren't a "get rich quick" button, they solve some of the most annoying pain points in the industry. The Real Wins The standout feature is the $0 Activation Fee. Transitioning from an evaluation to a funded account is seamless and, more importantly, free. When you’re trying to manage a tight trading budget, not having to cough up extra cash just because you performed well is a massive psychological win. The End-of-Day (EOD) Trailing Drawdown is the other MVP here. If you’ve ever been "liquidated" on a winning trade because of an intraday peak, you know that pain. With EOD, your drawdown only updates at the market close. It lets your trades breathe during high-volatility sessions, which is essential if you're scalping the NQ. Plus, the no consistency rule during the eval means if you hit your target in two days, you aren't forced to "mickey mouse" trade for another week just to check a box. The Reality Check It’s not all sunshine and "glaze." The 25k account has a tight $1,000 drawdown. If you’re aggressive, you can blow that in a single bad NQ session. The 50k account is much more realistic with a $2,000 cushion, but you have to respect the 40% consistency rule once you're funded. You can’t just "yolo" one massive trade and expect a payout; you actually have to prove you’re a disciplined trader. Final Verdict With a 90% profit split and a fast track to funding, Alpha Zero is easily one of the most cost-effective entries into futures. It’s built for the trader who is tired of being nickel-and-dimed and wants a firm that rewards efficiency.

Review

The customer service is really nice, sometimes there's some mistakes in their system but they respond pretty quick and try to help. Thanks to my trading system I have not had any issues with payouts yet, so that's why I rate them pretty high. For me the biggest problem is +200$ to count as trading day, so that's something I don't like. the plus is that it's one day pass

I honestly love alpha futures. It’s second to lucid in my opinion, I understand they just had premium plans not pay, but I only really use 0 accounts so that didn’t really affect me. They have been paying out easily and I love the rule where you can withdraw and mll doesn’t go to 0.

I’ve traded with Alpha for only a few months. I haven’t had any payouts yet so can’t comment on that, but have no reason to expect anything less than fine based on its reputation and others’ reviews. Reasonable prices when on sale. Rules are pretty trader friendly.

For so long, i've heard great things about Alpha Futures. So I was like, let me give them a go. As soon as I request my payout , the delays started. Thankfully I got my payout A week later. As of now Alpha is going back to Same day payouts, so im looking forward to that.

It's a good platform, but I understand they got pulled. Before that, it was nice. I bought them when it was 50% off. That's why I think it's cheap. If it's not on sale, under 40%, I would not buy them because for the price of 80 to 100 dollars, I got Traded, Lucid, and TopStep, which has much better rules. And I don't really like their premium plans because it's above cost. I understand there is a payout cap, but I don't care.

this prop firm is one of the best and has really good accounts for all types of traders where zero accounts are cheap and are good for traders who want to to learn trading and practice emotions on real evaluations and there is direct and advanced accounts that are for the more experienced traders which have higher payout caps and direct funded which obviously is more pricey and brings you straight to funded and even though I had issues with this firm such as my buying accounts with another cardholer without knowing that it isnt legal then getting banned without even being able to justify my self if you dont have this problem this prop firm can be your favorite but they dont have tradovate anymore and alpha trader which isnt good because they have had alot of issues and traders havent been able to trade many times because of this
