Drawdown
trailing, end of day in the evaluation · trailing, end of day once fundedThe Maximum Loss Limit trails the end-of-day balance high and stops at the starting balance. A breach is still judged on live equity, so touching the level with a position open liquidates the account.

“The Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) is EOD (end of day) trailing on all of our accounts here at Alpha Futures. None of our accounts utilize intraday trailing drawdown you will see elsewhere in industry. Maximum Loss Limit stops trailing at the account starting balance on all of our accounts.”
Maximum Loss Limit (MLL)
Daily loss
NoneNo daily loss guard in the evaluation. Once qualified, a $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 guard applies by size, and hitting it locks the account until 6 PM ET rather than failing it.
Source
“The Daily Loss Limit also referred to as the Daily Loss Guard is a soft breach rule on Alpha Futures Accounts. If you hit the Daily Loss Guard, you do not lose your Account, but your account will be locked until the next trading day (6PM ET).”
