Alpha Capital Group rules explained

The drawdown mechanic — read this twice

Alpha Capital Group uses a static drawdown. The maximum-loss level is fixed from the starting balance and does not move as you make money. This is the trader-friendly model: your buffer is knowable on day one and a profitable run genuinely increases the distance to your stop-out.

Whatever the model, size your risk against the buffer rather than the account size. The practical rule we use: never let a single campaign risk more than a third of the distance between current equity and the breach level.

Consistency and payout-eligibility rules

Consistency rules are where traders lose money they have already made. On Alpha Capital Group the stated position is: None. That leaves the payout gate mostly to the drawdown and minimum-days requirements.

The mechanic to watch is the single-best-day percentage. Where a firm caps one day at a share of total profit, a single outsized win can push a payout out by weeks because you must grind additional smaller days to bring the ratio back inside the cap. If you scalp news or trade one high-conviction setup a week, that mechanic will hurt you far more than a slightly lower profit split.

Full rule matrix

Each flag below is read off Alpha Capital Group's public rulebook and paired with the actual mechanic, because "allowed" means very different things from firm to firm.

• News trading: allowed — News trading permitted on evaluation and funded stages.
• Expert advisors / algos: allowed — EAs allowed with the usual HFT and arbitrage exclusions.
• Weekend holding: allowed — Weekend holding allowed.
• Overnight holding: allowed — No overnight restriction.
• Copy trading: conditionally allowed — Own-account copying only.
• No time limit: allowed — Unlimited evaluation period.
• Crypto pairs: allowed — Crypto CFDs tradable, weekends included.
• No consistency rule: allowed — No consistency requirement.

Rules that end accounts in practice

Beyond the headline limits, these are the clauses Alpha Capital Group actually enforces.

• 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rule: Profit distribution across days does not affect withdrawal eligibility, so a single strong week can be withdrawn in full.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.

Rule stability

Alpha Capital Group does not currently appear in our rule-change register, meaning we have not logged a material rulebook revision for it in the tracked period. Re-check before each payout anyway — firms are not obliged to announce changes prominently.
