What Alpha Futures actually requires across its 3 programs (2026)
Answer
Alpha Futures runs 3 programs (10 rule sets) on file — on the flagship $25K Direct Qualified, the binding limit is 2% (same-day lockout, not a fail) daily loss (varies by program: none imposed by the firm / 2% (same-day lockout, not a fail)). The corpus was re-checked 2026-09-06: the cited wording was no longer found — the rule may have changed; check the source link.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Advanced | $50K | Trailing, end-of-day — the floor moves once per day at the close — 3.5% | none imposed by the firm | no single trading day may account for more than 40% of total profit (a breach raises the profit target rather than failing the account) | 90% | not recorded | 16 July 2026 |

What it means for a trader
Alpha Futures' 3 programs are not interchangeable: Advanced models a 3.5% trailing, end-of-day drawdown floor (moves once per day at the close), while Direct Qualified models a 4% trailing, end-of-day drawdown floor (moves once per day at the close).
Worked example: on the $25K Direct Qualified account, the drawdown floor sits at a hard $1,000 and a single day cannot lose more than $500 before the account fails — both figures read straight off this program’s own rule file for this size. (see the freshness note above)
