Trading Plans

Compare each plan path, how it progresses, and the key funding and payout terms we have confirmed so far.

Market-specific program path offered under this firm's current product lineup.

After passing the assessment, traders must complete KYC screening, submit valid ID, pass selfie/facial matching, and then sign the external analyst agreement before Alpha Capital Group issues qualified-trader credentials.
Performance fee methods include Bi-Weekly and On-Demand. Requests are submitted through the dashboard, processed within 2 business days, and paid through Rise, Wise, or bank transfer (WIRE / ACH / SWIFT). Crypto withdrawals are not directly supported except through Rise as an authorized provider.
Leverage varies clearly by plan. Official help content gives Alpha Pro up to FX 1:100, Indices 1:20, Metals 1:30, Oil 1:10. Alpha Swing uses lower leverage, while Alpha One and Alpha Three have their own leverage tables. Alpha Prime live progression and risk-management groups can also reduce leverage further.
Funded Account Structure

Progression runs from assessment and qualified analyst accounts to qualified payout stages, with top performers potentially transitioning from simulated trading into Alpha Prime live accounts.

Allowed Trading Instruments
Structured instrument coverage is still being normalized for this firm. For now, use the market badges and the plan and rules notes above as the best guide to what this firm supports.

Banned countries include Afghanistan, Belarus, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Crimea, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Cuba, North Korea, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan, Russia, South Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, Vietnam, sanctioned areas of Ukraine including Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, plus the Republic of Congo.

Alpha Capital Group says Standard Assessment accounts are commission-free across asset classes, while Raw Assessment accounts charge $2.5 per lot in each direction; indices remain commission-free on both account types.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
Expert Advisors are allowed on MT5, but Alpha Capital Group requires pre-approval and enforces platform-specific limitations.
Alpha Capital Group allows EAs on MT5 if they are enabled at checkout and approved in advance by support. EA functionality is not currently available on cTrader, DX Trade, or TradeLocker accounts. High-frequency trading, latency arbitrage, and using the same third-party EA across multiple traders placing the same trades can lead to account closure for breaching the firm's no-group-trading rules.
Copy Trading
Not allowed

EAs, trade copiers, and risk-management tools are allowed so long as they are not used to copy other people's signals or run prohibited strategies such as tick scalping, latency arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, hedge arbitrage, emulators, or HFT-style EA behavior. Using the same third-party EA across multiple traders placing the same trades can trigger copy-trading flags and account failure.

Microscalping Policy
Alpha requires the average trade duration to exceed 2 minutes and uses that rule to prevent tick scalping and high-frequency trading across all account types.
Bots Policy

Automation is allowed only in approved forms. Alpha Capital Group permits pre-approved EAs on MT5 but prohibits HFT, latency-arbitrage bots, and other automated behavior that violates no-group-trading or prohibited-strategy rules.

DCA Policy

No explicit DCA or martingale policy surfaced in the current official materials reviewed for this firm.

Allowed Trading Hours
Trading-hour restrictions are model-dependent rather than firm-wide. Assessment phases can trade freely during news, while qualified Pro, One, and Three accounts have restricted windows around major news releases. Swing accounts explicitly allow weekend holds and more flexible news handling, with exact swap and trading-hour details available in MT5 specifications.
Move to Live Criteria

After passing the assessment, traders must complete KYC screening, submit valid ID, pass selfie/facial matching, and then sign the external analyst agreement before Alpha Capital Group issues qualified-trader credentials.

Rule Enforcement Notes

Alpha Capital Group says rule-breach outcomes depend on the violation. Maximum-loss breaches can lead to account closure, while prohibited strategies can result in termination and potential bans. The firm also warns that gambling-style behavior or disallowed trading around restricted news can lead to profit removal, contract termination, and qualified-account closure.

Refund Policy

Alpha Capital Group says its assessment plans are non-refundable. It also notes that if a trader cannot pass KYC in cases where a refund is eligible, any refund may be reduced by processing or account fees.

Activation Fee Policy

No separate funded-account activation fee surfaced in the current official Alpha Capital materials reviewed. The published progression moves from passed assessment through KYC and contract signing straight to qualified credentials.

VPN Policy
Alpha Capital Group's clearest published VPN restriction is during KYC: the firm says VPS or VPN use is not permitted during the identity-verification process and can lead to account closure.
Payout Methods

Performance fee methods include Bi-Weekly and On-Demand. Requests are submitted through the dashboard, processed within 2 business days, and paid through Rise, Wise, or bank transfer (WIRE / ACH / SWIFT). Crypto withdrawals are not directly supported except through Rise as an authorized provider.
