Allowed Trading Instruments

This firm cannot accept traders from the below countries due to regulatory restrictions and compliance requirements.

These commission schedules show the per-side or round-trip trading costs, including exchange-style fees, used to mimic what trading the same futures contracts would cost in a regular cash brokerage account.
Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and TradingView require the non-professional agreement for real-time data. Alpha Futures notes that payout methods are handled in USD and that traders are responsible for platform-side setup where applicable.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
Alpha Futures permits traders to use automated systems and bots as long as the behavior stays within the firm's prohibited-trading rules.
Alpha Futures prohibits abusive or manipulative automated behavior, including hyperactivity trading, order-stacking, latency exploitation, and other prohibited practices that distort fills or attempt to game the simulated environment.
Copy Trading
Not allowed

Copy trading is allowed when the same individual is executing trades across their own Alpha Futures accounts. Automated, group, and reverse trading are prohibited.

Microscalping Policy
Alpha Futures prohibits hyperactivity trading, order-stacking, and similar ultra-short-duration abusive execution tactics designed to exploit the simulated environment.
Bots Policy

Bots and automated tools are allowed only if they do not engage in prohibited trading practices such as hyperactivity trading, order stacking, latency exploitation, or other manipulative conduct.

DCA Policy

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

Allowed Trading Hours
Futures trading follows 6:00 PM EST to 5:00 PM EST the next day, with all positions closed before 4:20 PM EST. Friday 5:00 PM EST to Sunday 6:00 PM EST remains closed.
Move to Live Criteria

Simulated Qualified Accounts can be reviewed for live progression after reaching the program's simulated payout thresholds. Alpha Futures states that accounts are reviewed once the maximum payable balance or payout-count threshold is achieved.

Rule Enforcement Notes

Alpha Futures reviews accounts for prohibited conduct such as group trading, reverse trading, order-book spamming, tick or micro scalping used to exploit fills, and fully automated high-frequency behavior. Violations can void profits, stop qualification progress, or terminate the trader agreement.

Refund Policy

Alpha Futures says challenge purchases are generally non-refundable once used, but if a trader passes and later cannot complete KYC, the firm says the activation fee is refunded and the balance can be withdrawn through another approved method after compliance review.

Activation Fee Policy

Standard and Advanced Qualified Accounts charge a one-time $149 activation fee. Zero Accounts have no activation fee.

VPN Policy
VPN use is permitted for normal trading access, but Alpha Futures says identity verification can be delayed or rejected if VPNs, VPSs, proxies, or masked-location tools interfere with the KYC process. Traders may also be asked for extra documents if location checks do not line up.
