Not recommended for alpha
I tried the Alpha Futures 50k Premium plan in June 2026, on their new Alpha Trader platform. I was disappointed with the platform for a number of reasons, but was initially impressed by the firm's initiatives to make things right (namely two free accounts for anyone who had purchased accounts on their Alpha Trader platform the week Alpha Trader was rolled out). Unfortunately as we all know in July 2026 Alpha Futures rugpulled the entire Premium plan and even refused to honor approved payouts, hardly a good look. I will focus my review on the shortcomings of the Alpha Trader platform, as Alpha Futures has dropped support for Tradovate any new customers will pretty much have to trade on Alpha Trader. 1) Basic functionalities, including toggling from dark to bright mode, are nonexistent. 2) Chart trading functionalities, namely OCO bracket (or at least the ability to drag to adjust TP/SL after entering) are also nonexistent! As of June 2026 when I used the platform, I did have the ability to set a limit order (manually set prices), BUT the TP/SL functionalities did not work and were super clunky (each needed the user to manually set a price, and they would not lock in your R:R for the next one, instead keeping the same prices you last set, which is super lame) 3) The Alpha Trader platform continually dropped data and logged me out within 5 minutes of logging in, even if I had just placed a trade. On this count it is worse than ProjectX and DxFeed. 4) Support tends to be slow and reply with canned responses a few hours or days later.
