Who pays to move the money scores zero because the firm publishes nothing we could read. Nothing is filled in with a guess.

This score is about getting paid, not about trading rules. It is never averaged into the Freedom Score: a firm can have the most generous rules on the board and still be the hardest place to get money out of.

Be aware

Of the 8 payout conditions Alpha Futures publishes, these can cost you money or your account.

  • Left to the firm's discretionA funded account is simulated

    Evaluation and Qualified accounts are simulated — Alpha calls traders 'Qualified Analysts' and payouts 'performance fees' on simulated profits, with up to $750K in simulated funds. Real capital only comes via the LIVE Trader Program / Alpha Prime, entered at the discretion of the Risk and Alpha Prime teams (triggers include 5 performance fees on a single Qualified account, a large lifetime performance-fee total, or outstanding performance). On the call-up all Qualified accounts close and the live account starts at $0 balance with an EOD drawdown; live traders get daily payouts, no consistency rule, no news restrictions and no maximum withdrawal.

    You are paid on results in a simulator, not on trades placed in the market.

“You may request up to 50% of the profit in your account each withdrawal request (up to withdrawal limit), the rest of the balance stays on the account for drawdown or future withdrawals.”

Live or simulatedEvaluation and Qualified accounts are simulated — Alpha calls traders 'Qualified Analysts' and payouts 'performance fees' on simulated profits, with up to $750K in simulated funds. Real capital only comes via the LIVE Trader Program / Alpha Prime, entered at the discretion of the Risk and Alpha Prime teams (triggers include 5 performance fees on a single Qualified account, a large lifetime performance-fee total, or outstanding performance).

VerificationMandatory before any Qualified Trader Account is issued or any performance fee is processed. Veriff flow: government-issued ID (no paper IDs or permits) plus a selfie for facial matching; compliance review up to 48 hours. VPS/VPN use during KYC can lead to account closure; third-party involvement is treated as a breach of terms. Failing screening means no Qualified account but a full refund of the passed or active Evaluation.

Every condition · 8

  1. 140% consistency rule (Zero and Standard Qualified). No single day's profit may be at or above 40% of net profits since the last withdrawal request. Breaching it does not breach the account, but the withdrawal button is hidden until you trade more profit to dilute the big day. Resets after each request. source

  2. 220% consistency rule (Direct Qualified). Direct accounts carry a much tighter 20% single-day cap on profits accumulated since the last withdrawal request. Advanced Qualified accounts have no consistency rule at all. source

  3. 3High-impact news window voids the payout. On Direct, Standard and Zero Qualified accounts, no orders may be executed within 2 minutes before or after a red-folder ForexFactory event for the asset traded. Violating it voids the trade's profits AND denies the payout, pushing the trader to the next eligible date. First offence is a warning; later ones breach the account. source

  4. 4Prohibited trading practices void profits. Bans include AI/bots and any full automation, HFT over 100 trades/day, tick or micro scalping (under 10 ticks AND under 2 minutes), order-book spamming, exploiting the lack of slippage with tight brackets, 'all or nothing' max-leverage trades using the Daily Loss Guard as a stop, account stacking/rolling, reverse trading or hedging across accounts, group trading, and VPN use to mask IP. source

  5. 510-day inactivity rule. A trade of any size must be placed at least once every 10 trading days to keep the account active. source

  6. 6Only 50% of account profit per request. Even when eligible, half the profit must stay in the account for drawdown or future withdrawals. source

  7. 7Contract must be signed within 30 days of passing. KYC plus a signed contract are needed to activate the Qualified account; the contract expires 30 days after passing the Evaluation, after which the passed account is lost. source

  8. 8Evaluation consistency gate before funding. Before the Qualified stage is even reached, Advanced Evaluations carry a 40% consistency rule and Standard Evaluations a 50% rule; the Evaluation is not passed until satisfied. source
