What gates an Alpha Futures Advanced payout when there is no daily loss limit?
Alpha Futures Advanced pays a 90% profit split and has no daily loss limit — Advanced is the no-DLL plan. The maximum loss limit is 3.5% end-of-day trailing off the end-of-day balance high, and it locks at starting balance. Help articles set a 40% best-day raise-until-compliant consistency target, not a breach; the homepage FAQ still says 50% (the retired Standard figure). We log that conflict and do not pick a winner. First-payout day count and payout cycle are not recorded.

Numbers first: 90% split · no DLL · 3.5% EOD trailing. Answer first: On Alpha Futures Advanced the split is 90% and there is no daily loss guard. The account-ending line is a 3.5% maximum loss limit that trails the end-of-day balance high and locks at starting balance. Targets are a flat 8% ($4,000 / $8,000 / $12,000). Consistency is a 40% best-day raise-until-compliant cap, not a breach — and the homepage FAQ still prints 50%, the retired Standard figure. First-payout timing and the cycle are not recorded.
The payout terms we actually have
Advanced is a one-step evaluation. The payout object on every size we carry is thin on purpose: the firm published a split, and it did not publish a first-payout clock or a repeating cycle in the documents we verified. Filling those blanks would be guessing.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Product | Advanced (not Direct, not Zero) |
| Profit split | 90% to the trader |
| First payout after | Not recorded |
| Payout cycle | Not recorded |
| Fee / reset / refund | Not recorded |
| Minimum trading days | 0 recorded (the 40% cap still needs more than one green day) |
The 90% split is the same at 50k, 100k and 150k. Direct and Zero share that headline number and nothing else on this page. They are other products; this article does not model them.
Account sizes: 8% target, 3.5% MLL, no daily loss
Every Advanced size we hold uses the same percentages. The dollars scale; the shape does not. Daily loss is a sourced zero — the Advanced overview's words are “Daily Loss Guard NONE.”
| Account | Profit target (8%) | Daily loss | MLL (3.5% EOD trailing) | MLL lock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50k | $4,000 | None | $1,750 | Starting balance ($50,000) |
| 100k | $8,000 | None | $3,500 | Starting balance ($100,000) |
| 150k | $12,000 | None | $5,250 | Starting balance ($150,000) |
The target is 8%. The MLL gap is 3.5%. You have to bank more than twice the starting cushion while the floor is still allowed to climb for the first 3.5% of that path, then freeze at the number you started with.
No daily loss limit — that is the product
Advanced is the no-DLL plan. That is why this evaluation is its own corpus slug, not an empty cell we forgot to fill. A session that goes $2,000 against you and comes back before the close does not trip a daily guard, because there is no daily guard. The account is not paused for the rest of the day. The close is the test: the only published loss line that can end Advanced is the 3.5% MLL. Sizing as if a daily lockout will save you is using a rule that is not on this product. The Advanced daily loss page records none at 50k, 100k and 150k.
The MLL that climbs, then stops at starting balance
The maximum loss limit is trailing, evaluated from end-of-day balance, never described as an intraday trail. The MLL article states it is end of day on all accounts, and that it stops trailing at the account starting balance. Corpus: 3.5% of initial ($1,750 / $3,500 / $5,250), basis end-of-day balance, lock at initial plus zero. Open P&L at the close counts toward that balance; that is not a tick-by-tick floor, and we do not upgrade an EOD test into an intraday one.
Start of a 50k: balance $50,000, floor $48,250. A new end-of-day high lifts the floor until it has risen $1,750 and sits on $50,000. After that print, further highs do not lift it. The lock is at starting balance, not at the profit-target balance. Once locked, a give-back that stays above $50,000 leaves the account alive; a close below $50,000 does not.
Worked path — 50k Advanced
- Start $50,000. Floor 3.5% below, at $48,250.
- Close at $51,000. Floor trails to $49,250.
- Close at $51,750. Floor hits starting balance $50,000 and locks.
- Close at the 8% target, $54,000. Floor still $50,000 — room is now $4,000, not $1,750.
- A close at $50,400 survives. A close at $49,900 does not. The lock stopped the floor rising; it did not delete the floor.
After 3.5% of closed progress, further profit no longer tightens the floor. Until that lock prints, every new end-of-day high puts the floor back to a 3.5% gap. The dangerous stretch is the first $1,750 of progress, not the last.
50k Advanced: wine is the MLL floor, climbing with the end-of-day high until it meets starting balance, then flat. Grey is balance. The lock is a ceiling on the floor, not a deletion of the floor.
The trailing-drawdown page walks the same 3.5% figure as a drawdown mechanic. It sits here because a payout you cannot survive to request is not a payout.
40% in the help articles, 50% on the homepage
This is the first-party finding, and we will not sand it into a single number. Two independent recheck passes on 2026-07-22 agreed on split, 8% targets, 3.5% MLL, EOD trail, lock at start, no daily loss, and raise-until-compliant. They disagreed — because the firm disagrees with itself — on the consistency percentage.
The Advanced overview and the consistency-rule article state 40%, on Evaluation only, as a best-day share of total profit. The effect is raise-until-compliant, not a breach. One oversized green day does not close the account; it raises the remaining target until that day is no more than 40% of the pile. Bank the whole $4,000 50k target in one session and the implied total at a 40% cap is $4,000 / 0.40 = $10,000. That is a longer exam, not a failed one.
The homepage FAQ still says 50% consistency rule — the retired Standard plan's figure. We did not enter 50% into the live rule object, and we did not delete the homepage sentence. Recheck outcome: confirmed with disagreement on consistency only. Picking 40% as “ours” or 50% as “noise” would be arbitrating a conflict the source has not resolved.
Logged, not judged. Corpus: 40% best-day share, Evaluation only, raise-until-compliant. Homepage FAQ: 50%, inherited from Standard. We publish both. We do not pick the number a live account will be scored against. The Advanced consistency page is the mechanic in isolation; it sits on this payout page because the raise is what delays a split you thought you had already earned. Min trading days in the JSON is 0; a 40% (or 50%) best-day cap is still a multi-day constraint, because one full-target day cannot be 40% of itself.
What the corpus does not record
Two payout clocks are null on every Advanced size: first-payout day count and cycle days. Fee, reset, and fee-refund are also null. This page will not fill them from a banner. We also do not publish a funded-stage consistency percentage: the sourced quote is “40% on Evaluation only.”
Advanced is not Direct, and not Zero
Alpha retired Standard and launched Direct as an instant-funded product. Zero is a separate evaluation. This page is Advanced only — 50k / 100k / 150k, 8% targets, no daily loss, 3.5% EOD MLL that locks at start, 90% split, consistency raise-until-compliant. Direct and Zero numbers do not belong here, and we are not going to summarise those products in this article.
Working backwards: free path before a no-DLL day spends the whole Advanced room.

Run Alpha Futures Advanced in the simulator — freeQuestions that are actually about Advanced payouts
-
What is Alpha Futures Advanced's profit split?
90% to the trader, at 50k, 100k and 150k. That is a payout term, not a survival term: the 3.5% end-of-day MLL and the consistency raise still decide whether an account is open when you would request a split.
-
Does Alpha Futures Advanced have a daily loss limit?
No. Advanced is the no-DLL plan. The overview states Daily Loss Guard NONE. A red session is not a lockout; the line that can end the account is the 3.5% maximum loss limit, tested at end of day.
-
How does the Alpha Advanced maximum loss limit trail?
3.5% end-of-day trailing off the end-of-day balance high: $1,750 / $3,500 / $5,250. Not an intraday trail. The floor rises with a new end-of-day high and stops once it reaches starting balance.
-
Is Alpha Advanced consistency 40% or 50%?
The firm contradicts itself. Help articles state 40% on Evaluation only. The homepage FAQ still says 50% — the retired Standard figure. Our corpus records 40% from the articles and preserves 50% as a logged ambiguity. We do not arbitrate which number a live account will be scored against.
-
Does missing the consistency cap fail an Advanced account?
No. The recorded effect is raise-until-compliant, not a breach. An oversized day raises the pass target until the best day is at or under the cap. The account is not closed for the concentration itself.
-
When is the first Alpha Advanced payout, and how often after that?
Not recorded. First-payout days and cycle days are null on every Advanced size. Quoting a calendar we did not source would be invented precision.
