Alpha Futures — daily loss limit
Rules read from Alpha Futures's own documentation on 2026-07-31 · rules/alpha-futures-direct
Alpha Futures sets a daily loss limit of 2% ($500) at every account size PropSurvival's corpus carries for this program (25k, 50k, 100k, 150k), measured from the initial account balance. Breaching it locks the account (trading stops for that account; it does not automatically end the evaluation).
| Field | Value |

| Includes unrealized P&L | Yes |
| On breach | lockout |

"Direct Account Overview per-size table: Daily Loss Guard 25K $500 / 50K $1,000 / 100K $2,000 / 150K $3,000 — 500/25000 = 1000/50000 = 2000/100000 = 3000/150000 = 2% exactly at every size in the ladder. Direct's own parameters table links out to the general Daily Loss Guard mechanic article for these figures, whose text states the rule directly: 'The Daily Loss Guard is 2% of starting account balance.'"Source: https://help.alpha-futures.com/en/articles/15838742-direct-account-overview — retrieved 2026-07-31 · last checked 2026-07-31
