Looking into starting to trade some Alpha after looking it over. Looking specifically at the 25k zero plan. Bought account and the hold time rule is awful. Im a scalper so 2 minutes in forever

Review

I've been trading with Alpha Futures on their premium accounts for a while now, and I have to say the trading rules themselves are genuinely solid — fair conditions, reasonable requirements, nothing outrageous compared to other prop firms. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end for me. I currently have 3 pending payouts that haven't been processed since July 1st. When I followed up, I was told the premium plan I was on was no longer considered "profitable" for them, and that seems to be the reason my payouts have stalled. It's incredibly frustrating to hit your targets, follow the rules, and then be left waiting on money you've earned because the company decided after the fact that the plan doesn't work for them anymore. That's not a risk traders should have to bear — if a plan is being discontinued or changed, existing payouts owed to traders should still be honored. I'd be cautious recommending premium accounts here until this gets resolved. Will update this review if the situation changes.

Review

I traded with Alpha Futures using they're 100k zero accounts, I loved them. The rules are straightforward, passing the account is simple and even getting a payout is not that hard, although the 40% consistency is a bit annoying. I managed to get a payout and it got processed relatively fast, all in all a good experience with this firm (the support team is also goated cus they answer quick and efficiently).

Review

I genuinely wanted to give Alpha Futures a positive review because, overall, I liked the firm. The platform, trading environment, and rules were good, and I initially had a great experience. However, I can no longer recommend them based on my own experience. My payout was denied, and my funded accounts were terminated. Unfortunately, this wasn't the first time. Previously, on a 100K Zero account, my payout was also denied because they claimed I had traded during restricted news events. I disputed that decision because I keep detailed trading journals and records of every trade. After reviewing the evidence, they reinstated my accounts and approved my payout. Despite that outcome, having to go through the same type of issue again has significantly reduced my confidence in the firm. While I appreciate the trading conditions they offer, I don't feel comfortable recommending a prop firm where I've experienced multiple payout disputes and account terminations. This review reflects only my personal experience, but based on that experience, I can no longer recommend Alpha Futures.

Great firm overall. Pretty fast payouts and straight forward rules. Never had any issues trading with alpha. I’d say they’re slightly on the expensive side but other than that I highly recommend.

They are okay! I passeed my account. Followed all the rules went to request my payout and was told i violated the news rule because i made $32.50. I was in the trade for 41 seconds and they denied my payout. I tried to say just deduct that from the payout but they wouldn't. I know rules are rules; but we are working so hard to get payouts and they tell you that you made a $32.50 error by trading news. Thats gut wrenching.

Review for alpha

Review

I've been trading with Alpha Futures for quite some time now, and my experience with the firm has been overwhelmingly positive. Over the course of my journey, I've received roughly **$20,000 in payouts**, and every single payout has been processed swiftly, without delays or unnecessary complications. That level of consistency and professionalism is one of the main reasons I've continued to trust the firm. Like everyone else, I'm aware that Alpha Futures is currently going through a challenging period. While it's understandable that this has created uncertainty within the community, I believe it's important to judge a company by its long-term track record rather than a single difficult chapter. Based on my personal experience, Alpha has always honored its commitments to me, maintained a reliable payout process, and provided a solid trading environment. Every business faces obstacles at some point. What truly defines a firm is how it responds to those challenges, and I genuinely believe Alpha Futures will work through the current situation and continue honoring its commitments to traders. They've built a reputation over time, and I'm hopeful they'll emerge from this stronger. I can only speak from my own experience, and based on that experience, Alpha Futures has been a dependable firm with excellent execution, fast payouts, and a team that has delivered on its promises. I'm looking forward to seeing the firm navigate this period successfully and continue serving the trading community.

Review

Have had a great experience with until recent events where they pulled premium plans and withheld payments for traders. It’s really hard to get that trust back but they have a hard road ahead of them. I always used their advanced accounts and the few times I was funded with them my experience was great. I can no longer trade at a place that pulls stunts like that to my fellow traders. I wish them the best but extremely thankful for a platform like the Smart prop firm where they are protecting and helping the ones that were affected.

Overall, I had great experiences with Alpha Futures and their Zero plans. These plans were really geared towards my trading style, and the ability to pass them in one day was a huge bonus. The biggest drawback is that they no longer support Tradovate, and that's my preferred trading platform. But overall, good experience with fast payouts.
