Alpha Capital Group account sizes & per-size rules
Short answer
Alpha Capital Group runs 5 account sizes, from 10k up to 200k, priced from $100 to $445, and up to $400k once scaling is included. The rules do not change between sizes — static drawdown, 90% split and none apply to every tier — but the dollar buffer does, and that is what decides which size you should actually buy.

The full Alpha Capital Group size ladder
Prop pricing scales sub-linearly with account size — roughly the square root of the size ratio — so the biggest account is almost never the best value per dollar of usable buffer. Each line below shows the modelled list price, the first-phase profit target and the loss buffer expressed as a percentage of the account.
Read the buffer column first. On a static drawdown, the dollar buffer is the only number that limits your position size; the account label is marketing. A trader risking 1% per trade on the 200k account is taking the same dollar risk as one risking 20× that percentage on the smallest.
- 10k — $100, 8% target = $800, 10% buffer = $1k of loss room
- 25k — $155, 8% target = $2k, 10% buffer = $2.5k of loss room
- 50k — $220, 8% target = $4k, 10% buffer = $5k of loss room
- 100k — $315, 8% target = $8k, 10% buffer = $10k of loss room
- 200k — $445, 8% target = $16k, 10% buffer = $20k of loss room
Which Alpha Capital Group size is actually the best value
Cost per dollar of loss buffer is the honest comparison. 10k costs 0.100 per dollar of buffer; 25k costs 0.062 per dollar of buffer; 50k costs 0.044 per dollar of buffer; 100k costs 0.032 per dollar of buffer; 200k costs 0.022 per dollar of buffer. The cheapest ratio is where the firm is subsidising you the most, and it is usually a mid tier rather than the flagship.
The second filter is your own stop distance. Work out the worst-case dollar loss of a normal trade at your usual size, multiply by five consecutive losers, and buy the smallest account whose buffer absorbs that without breaching. Buying above that point is paying for headroom you will never trade into; buying below it guarantees a reset fee.
What the 25k and 50k tiers mean in practice
The small tiers are where most traders start and where most resets happen, because the dollar buffer is small enough that a single mis-sized position ends the account. On a forex account, one standard lot on EURUSD moves about $10 per pip — on a 25k account, a 40-pip stop on two lots is already a meaningful share of your buffer.
The larger tiers change the psychology more than the maths. Same rules, same percentage targets, bigger dollar swings — which is why traders who pass consistently on a small account often breach the first week on a large one. Scale the account only after you have taken at least two payouts at the size below.
- Static drawdown, no trailing: Loss limits are fixed against the starting balance. There is no equity-trailing mechanic to manage around.
- No consistency rule: Profit distribution across days does not affect withdrawal eligibility, so a single strong week can be withdrawn in full.
- One-step evaluation: A single profit target rather than two phases, which shortens time-to-funded relative to FTMO or Blueberry Funded without loosening the loss limits.
Rules that stay the same at every size
Firms rarely vary the rulebook by account size — they vary the dollar limits. On Alpha Capital Group the constants are the static drawdown, the 90% profit split, the bi-weekly payout window and the consistency position (none).
- News trading: allowed — News trading permitted on evaluation and funded stages.
- EAs: allowed — EAs allowed with the usual HFT and arbitrage exclusions.
- Weekend holding: allowed — Weekend holding allowed.
- Time limit: none — Unlimited evaluation period.
FAQ
What are the Alpha Capital Group 25k account rules?
The 25k account carries a 8% profit target ($2k) and a 10% loss buffer ($2.5k) under Alpha Capital Group's static drawdown. Every other rule — split, payout cycle, consistency — is identical to the larger tiers.
What is the biggest Alpha Capital Group account?
Allocation reaches $400k once the scaling plan is included, with the largest directly purchasable tier around 200k at $445.
Do Alpha Capital Group rules change with account size?
No. The percentage targets, drawdown model, profit split and payout cadence are the same at every size — only the dollar amounts scale.
Which Alpha Capital Group account size should a beginner buy?
The smallest size whose dollar buffer survives five consecutive normal losers at your usual position size. For most traders that is the 10k or the tier above it — pass it, take two payouts, then scale.
