Live account

Most accounts here stay simulated for the account's whole life: the firm pays you out of its own revenue, and no real money ever changes hands in your trades. Alpha Futures is different — it also runs a real, live-capital account that some traders graduate into.

How you qualify

Firm discretion, triggered by any of: 5 payouts on a single Qualified Account, a significant amount of lifetime performance fees, outstanding performance, or being a former Live/Prime program member. Eligible account = reached at least 1 payout.

What changes once you're live

Two paths once called: (1) Alpha Futures Live Program -- 80% split, daily uncapped withdrawals, no salary. (2) Alpha Prime Program -- 60% split but a 12-month salary (50% of prior sim profit, max $75,000), mentorship, scaling, London trading floor access. Live rules: EOD drawdown, DLL scales at 30% of balance (pause, not breach), no consistency rule, no news restrictions, no max withdrawal request, overnight/swing holding allowed. Losing a live account triggers a 1-3 month cool-down before returning to sim.

Worth knowing

All Qualified Accounts close when a trader is called to live; one live account issued per eligible account, start balance $0-$4,500 scaled by size.

About Alpha Futures

A separate futures-only brand from Alpha Capital Group, though it shares the same founder. You can hold up to 5 accounts on Zero, Standard, or Direct at once, but holding an Advanced account caps your total across every type at 3. One account per person, and payments must match your own verified identity.
