Alpha Futures is a UK-based futures prop firm (part of Alpha Group) offering a one-step evaluation across four account types — Zero, Premium, Advanced, and Direct (straight-to-funded) — trading up to $750K in simulated funds. Most account types pay a 90% performance split with a 40% consistency rule once funded (Direct accounts use a 20% consistency rule instead and skip the evaluation).
| Plan | Account Size | Monthly Fee | Profit Target | Drawdown | Activation Fee | Min Days | Time Limit | Refundable |

Pick an account type (Premium, Advanced, or Zero), choose your size, and trade in their simulated environment. To pass, you need to hit the profit target while staying inside the max loss limit and, on plans where it applies, meet a 50% consistency rule. Passing makes you a Qualified Trader, eligible to request performance fees.
Zero, Advanced, and Premium accounts can request performance fees up to 4 times a month, after every 5 winning days of at least $200 profit. Direct accounts work differently — a withdrawal profit target plus a 20% consistency rule, with no winning-day requirement. You can withdraw up to 50% of profit per request, and requests are typically processed within 48 business hours.
Not right around major releases — Zero Qualified Accounts block new trade entries within 2 minutes before or after a high-impact news event. Evaluation accounts and Advanced/Premium Qualified accounts don't have this restriction.
A step up for top performers — once a Qualified Account reaches +$40,000 in payable balance (or after 5 payout cycles), Alpha Futures reviews your history for eligibility. Alpha Prime traders get a 60% performance split plus a 12-month salary and access to their London trading floor, versus the alternative Generic Live Program's 80% split with no salary or extra resources.
