Alpha Futures Accounts Explained: Premium, Advanced, Zero, Alpha Prime (2026)

Alpha Futures offers three evaluation plans (Premium, Advanced, and Zero) plus the Alpha Prime post-qualification invite path for real-capital live trading. Each evaluation plan serves a different trader profile. Premium is the cheapest-entry path with a one-step evaluation and a 90 percent flat split; it replaced the retired Standard plan on May 1, 2026. Advanced is the premium plan with 90 percent flat split and no Qualified consistency. Zero skips evaluation entirely for instant-funded simulated capital. Alpha Prime converts qualified simulated traders to a 10,000 dollar live-capital account with monthly salary and support.

This article is the complete accounts reference: every current plan’s pricing, rules, fit profile, plus the multi-account framework and the path from evaluation to real capital. I have traded Alpha Futures across fifteen-plus months — two funded Premium accounts and roughly 8K in payouts — so the practical observations below reflect real experience.

For size-specific guides see the 50K, 100K, and 150K accounts articles.

My experience with Alpha Futures

I’ve traded Alpha Futures for ~15 months — funded on two Premium accounts and took multiple payouts to withdrawal. I’ve lived their EOD-trailing MLL the hard way. Code Paul001554 is mine; I earn if you use it, and I’ll still tell you where the rules bite. This is the plan I actually ran, and why.

Plans at a glance

The headline comparison shows all five paths on Alpha Futures’ progression ladder. Premium, Advanced, and Zero are the three purchasable plans. Alpha Prime and Generic Live are the post-qualification real-capital tracks.

Premium is the cheapest monthly entry with a one-step evaluation. Advanced is the premium plan with the same 90 percent flat split plus the tightest rule set. Zero skips evaluation entirely. Alpha Prime and Generic Live are the live-capital progression tracks reserved for traders who have demonstrated edge through qualified payouts.

Account sizes by plan

Sizes vary by plan. Premium and Advanced both offer 50K, 100K, and 150K. Zero offers 25K, 50K, and 100K. The 25K size is unique to Zero. The 150K size is unique to Premium and Advanced.

Key size notes

• 25K size exists only on Zero Plan
• 150K size exists on Premium and Advanced only, not Zero
• All Premium and Advanced sizes include a 149 dollar activation fee (Premium also offers a higher no-activation-fee monthly rate)
• All Zero sizes have no activation fee
• Pre-Paul001554 pricing; apply 25 percent discount with code

Premium Plan: the one-step evaluation (replaced Standard)

Premium is the cheapest monthly entry to Alpha Futures. It replaced the retired Standard plan on May 1, 2026, swapping Standard’s tiered split and two-phase structure for a streamlined one-step evaluation and a 90 percent flat profit split from day one. You can take it with a 149 dollar activation fee on a lower monthly rate, or pay a higher monthly rate with no activation fee.

Premium specifications

Premium rule profile

• Evaluation: one-step; 50 percent consistency on Evaluation only
• Qualified consistency: none
• Daily Loss Guard: none on either phase
• News restrictions: none on either phase
• Profit split: 90 percent flat from day one
• Payout cadence: withdraw after every 5 winning days of $200+, up to ~4 per month
• Payout caps: tiered by request ($3,000 first, scaling toward $6,000)

Premium best fit

Traders who want the cheapest monthly subscription, a single-phase evaluation, and a 90 percent flat split from the first payout. Premium 50K at 79 dollars per month is the standard beginner recommendation: lowest cost, one-step evaluation, room to learn the rule structure. Choose Advanced instead if you want the tightest 3.5 percent MLL trail and the premium tier wrapper, or Zero if you want instant funding with no evaluation at all.

Advanced Plan: premium evaluation with better Qualified rules

Advanced is the premium evaluation path. Higher monthly pricing buys the firm’s most generous rule set: 90 percent flat from day one, no consistency check on Qualified, no Daily Loss Guard, no news buffer, and the tightest 3.5 percent MLL trail. For traders whose edge depends on event windows or concentrated profits, Advanced is the cleanest plan.

Advanced specifications

Advanced rule profile

• Evaluation consistency: 50 percent
• Qualified consistency: NONE (the unique differentiator)
• Daily Loss Guard: NONE either phase (trader-settable)
• News restrictions: NONE either phase
• Profit split: 90 percent flat from day one
• Payout cadence: weekly (after 5 winning days of $200+)
• Payout range: $1,000 minimum, $15,000 maximum per request

Advanced best fit

Event traders needing news-trading freedom, traders with concentrated profit patterns (Advanced Qualified has no consistency rule), and traders who want the tightest premium-tier rule set. Avoid Advanced if budget-first (Premium is cheaper monthly with the same 90 percent split), if you want instant funding (Zero), or if you benefit from a Daily Loss Guard as a risk-discipline tool.

Zero Plan: instant funded, no evaluation

Zero is the instant-funded plan. No evaluation, no activation fee, funded-simulated capital from day one. The structural trade-off is a Daily Loss Guard on both phases (unique among Alpha Futures plans — Premium and Advanced carry none), plus a 100K size cap.

Zero specifications

Zero rule profile

• Evaluation consistency: NONE (no evaluation phase)
• Qualified consistency: 40 percent
• Daily Loss Guard: applies on both Evaluation and Qualified phases
• News restrictions: 2-min buffer on Qualified
• Profit split: 90 percent flat
• Payout cadence: weekly (after 5 winning days of $200+)
• Payout range: $200 minimum, size-capped maximum ($1K/$1.5K/$2.5K)

Zero best fit

Traders who want instant funding without evaluation, experienced traders disciplined about position sizing around the DLG, and traders who want the lowest-friction entry. Zero 25K at 79 dollars monthly with no activation is the cheapest Alpha Futures entry by sticker price. Avoid Zero if you want to prove edge through evaluation, need larger than 100K size, want 150K (Premium or Advanced only), or want a plan with no Daily Loss Guard (Premium or Advanced).

Alpha Prime: post-qualification live-capital path

Alpha Prime is not a purchasable plan. It is an invite-based progression path from Qualified (simulated) to real-capital live trading. Qualifying traders who reach specific milestones receive the invite automatically.

Entry requirements (either condition)

• Reach +$40,000 maximum payable balance on a Qualified account
• Complete 5 successful payouts on a Qualified account

The Alpha Prime transition

• Step 1: Trader receives the Alpha Prime invite
• Step 2: Accept the transition; receive 50 percent of profits as payout ($1,500 to $15,000)
• Step 3: Trader contributes $5,000 from payable sim balance
• Step 4: Alpha Futures matches with $5,000
• Step 5: Trader operates a $10,000 live real-capital account

Alpha Prime live account rules

• Daily payouts (not weekly or bi-weekly)
• No consistency rule
• No news restrictions
• No maximum withdrawal cap
• 30 percent balance-based DLL (scales with account balance)

Alpha Prime vs Generic Live

Alpha Prime fit: Traders who have proven edge through multiple Qualified payouts and want to progress to real-capital trading with ongoing firm support. The Prime path is valuable for traders who want to build a sustainable trading business with the salary and support wrapper rather than self-managed Live trading.

The 3-account framework

Alpha Futures allows up to three funded accounts simultaneously with a combined 450,000 dollar allocation cap. The multi-account framework lets traders mix plans strategically.

Multi-account rules

• Can mix plans (one Premium + one Advanced + one Zero allowed)
• Combined sizes cannot exceed $450K
• Copy trading across own accounts is permitted
• Hedging across accounts is NOT permitted (long in one, short same contract in another)
• Each account has independent risk limits and drawdown compliance

Example combinations within $450K cap

Strategic use cases for multi-account

• Conservative base (Premium) + aggressive event trading (Advanced) + instant-funded backup (Zero)
• Separate plans for separate strategy categories
• Test Advanced rules on a small Zero 25K before committing to Advanced 150K

Scaling plan: mostly static

Alpha Futures does not offer an auto-scaling plan on Premium or Advanced that increases contract limits after payouts. Contract limits are fixed at the account size’s tier.

• 50K: 5 minis / 50 micros
• 100K: 10 minis / 100 micros
• 150K: 15 minis / 150 micros
• Zero 25K: 1 mini / 10 micros
• Zero 50K: 3 minis / 30 micros
• Zero 100K: 6 minis / 60 micros

To scale up: Start at a larger size rather than scaling from smaller. For traders who want 150K-equivalent size on Zero, use two Zero 100K accounts (with copy trading), but the 450K combined cap still applies across all simulated accounts. For real-capital scaling: Alpha Prime is the designated path. Reach +$40K sim balance or 5 payouts, transition to live, build from $10K live capital through ongoing performance.

Payout cadence by plan: summary

The cadence is consistent across the evaluation plans: Premium, Advanced, and Zero all let you withdraw after five winning days of $200+, which can produce up to roughly four payouts per month for active traders. Premium and Advanced lift withdrawals through tiered caps ($3,000 first request scaling toward $6,000); Zero is size-capped. Live accounts produce daily flows.

How to choose the right plan

Plan selection follows trader profile. The scenario-based recommendations below cover the most common starting points.

Beginner trader, budget-conscious

• Premium 50K at $79 per month
• Total 3-month cost with Paul001554: about $309
• Start small, prove edge, scale up later

Event trader (FOMC, CPI, NFP)

• Advanced 50K or 100K
• No Qualified consistency, no DLG, no news restrictions
• Designed for release-driven edge

Trader who wants instant funding

• Zero 25K at $79 per month
• No evaluation, $0 activation
• Cheapest Alpha Futures entry; 90 percent flat split

Concentrated single-big-days trader

• Advanced (no Qualified consistency rule)
• Accept higher monthly subscription for rule flexibility

Experienced trader wanting 150K size

• Advanced 150K ($419 per month) or Premium 150K ($239 per month)
• Largest available Alpha Futures size
• Advanced preferred if budget allows, for the tighter 3.5 percent MLL trail; Premium delivers the same 90 percent split at a lower monthly cost

Trader aiming for live-capital path

• Start with any plan
• Reach +$40K sim balance or 5 payouts on Qualified
• Transition to Alpha Prime or Generic Live

Cost-of-funding across plans: year 1

Year-1 cost-of-funding gives the cleanest cross-plan economic comparison. The table below uses one passing attempt with no resets and assumes Paul001554 applied at checkout.

Common plan-choice mistakes

Three patterns produce the majority of plan-choice regret among new Alpha Futures traders.

Choosing Advanced as first account

Wasteful before identifying whether event trading or concentrated profits define your style. Better path: start Premium for the same 90 percent split at a lower monthly cost, prove edge, then move to Advanced if you need the tighter trail and no-DLG/no-news rule set.

Choosing Zero as absolute beginner

DLG on both phases demands discipline beginners often lack. Better: Premium 50K (no Daily Loss Guard) or Zero 25K (smallest DLG exposure).

Ignoring activation fee in cost comparisons

Premium and Advanced charge a 149 dollar activation fee on their lower monthly rate (both also offer a higher no-activation-fee monthly option). Zero’s $0 activation is a real advantage at shorter horizons. Include both in total-cost math.

The bottom line

Alpha Futures’ account structure gives traders genuine choice across risk appetite, budget, and trading style. Premium is the affordable one-step path with a 90 percent flat split (it replaced the retired Standard plan in May 2026). Advanced is the premium plan for serious event traders with concentrated profit patterns and the tightest trail. Zero is the instant-funded plan for traders who want to skip evaluation entirely. Alpha Prime converts proven traders to real-capital live trading with monthly salary and support.

The multi-account framework (up to 3 accounts, $450K combined cap) allows mixing plans strategically. For most beginners, Premium 50K is the starting point. For event traders, Advanced. For traders wanting instant funding, Zero 25K. Use Paul001554 at checkout for 25 percent off any account, and consider the multi-account framework once a single account has demonstrated consistent edge.

Plan comparison versus peer futures-prop firms

Alpha Futures' three-plan structure is unusual in the futures-prop category in 2026. Most competing firms run one or two account types. The table below positions Alpha Futures against peer firms with comparable product depth.

Alpha Futures, MyFundedFutures, and Topstep are the three firms in the futures-prop category that offer the combination of multiple evaluation plans plus an instant-funded option plus a live-capital progression path. The combination makes Alpha Futures one of the more complete product lineups available in 2026.

The personally tested perspective across all three plans

My testing across the current Premium, Advanced, and Zero plans — plus the retired Standard plan before it was discontinued in May 2026 — produced specific observations about each plan’s practical behavior. The observations below reflect fifteen-plus months of testing and roughly 8K in cumulative payouts.

Premium observations

Premium is the easiest plan to start with for traders new to Alpha Futures. The 50 percent Evaluation consistency rule is forgiving for most disciplined sizing, and the one-step evaluation removes the old two-phase friction. There is no Qualified consistency rule, no Daily Loss Guard, and no news buffer, so the Qualified phase is clean. The 90 percent flat split from day one is the headline upgrade over the retired Standard plan, which ramped from 70 to 90 percent across five payouts.

Advanced observations

Advanced is the tightest premium-tier environment Alpha Futures offers: no consistency rule, no DLG, no news restrictions, same 90 percent flat split as Premium. The premium versus Premium is real (60 to 180 dollars per month depending on size), but it buys the tighter 3.5 percent MLL trail and the firm’s most flexible rule wrapper. That 3.5 percent trail is tighter than Premium and Zero’s 4 percent, which forces slightly smaller position sizing.

Zero observations

Zero is the right plan for traders who want instant funding without evaluation overhead. The DLG on both phases is a real constraint that takes about two weeks of trading to internalize as a habit. After internalization the DLG is invisible. The 90 percent flat split matches Premium and Advanced. Zero 25K is the cheapest sticker entry in Alpha Futures’ product line.

Edge cases and rule interactions

How the trail interacts with EOD payouts

Alpha Futures uses EOD-trailing MLL on all plans. Premium and Zero trail at 4 percent; Advanced at 3.5 percent. After lock-in at starting balance, the trail effectively becomes static at the original deposit level. This means after lock-in the account has the structural risk profile of a static-drawdown firm, with profits earned beyond lock-in becoming permanent cushion.

Multi-account hedging interpretation

The no-hedging rule across accounts means a trader cannot have a long ES position in account A and a short ES position in account B simultaneously. The intent is to prevent risk-neutral arbitrage of the firm's rule framework. Parallel directional positions (long ES in both accounts) are permitted and are the basis of copy-trading across the three-account framework.

Plan-specific reset behavior

If a Premium account fails during its one-step evaluation, the loss is only the monthly subscription paid up to the failure date (the 149 activation fee is charged on funding, not on purchase). If a Zero account closes due to MLL breach, the trader loses the monthly subscription with no activation cost. The reset economics favor Zero and Premium for traders who expect a non-trivial failure rate during early trading.

Profit-split mathematics across plans

With the retired Standard plan gone, all three current evaluation plans — Premium, Advanced, and Zero — pay a 90 percent flat split from day one, so per-payout capture no longer differs by plan. The historical comparison below shows how much the old Standard tiered ramp used to cost traders before Premium replaced it.

Five-payout comparison at 1,000 dollars per payout

• Current plans (Premium / Advanced / Zero): $900 × 5 = $4,500 (90 percent flat)
• Retired Standard (historical): $700 + $700 + $800 + $800 + $900 = $3,900 (78 percent effective)
• Upgrade: moving from the old Standard ramp to today’s flat 90 percent adds about $600 across the first five payouts at this size

Ten-payout comparison at 2,000 dollars per payout

• Current plans (Premium / Advanced / Zero): $1,800 × 10 = $18,000 (90 percent flat)
• Retired Standard (historical): $1,400 + $1,400 + $1,600 + $1,600 + $1,800 × 6 = $16,800 (84 percent effective)
• Upgrade: about $1,200 more captured across ten payouts now that every plan pays 90 percent flat

The retired Standard tier ramp captured less of every dollar across the first ten payouts. By replacing Standard with Premium’s flat 90 percent split, Alpha Futures closed that gap entirely — Premium, Advanced, and Zero now all capture the same 90 percent from the first payout.

Detailed cost-of-funding scenarios

Three realistic cost scenarios over twelve months across the major plan combinations.

Scenario 1: budget single-account trader

Setup: Premium 50K with Paul001554 applied. Year-1 monthly subscription totals roughly 760 dollars on the activation-fee rate. Activation fee 149 dollars on funding. No resets. Total year-1 cost approximately 905 dollars. Expected payouts at modest performance: 6 to 10 cycles times 500 to 1,500 dollars per cycle, captured at 90 percent flat. Expected trader net after capture: roughly 2,000 to 8,000 dollars depending on trading performance.

Scenario 2: event-trader Advanced focus

Setup: Advanced 100K with Paul001554 applied. Year-1 monthly subscription totals roughly 2,680 dollars. Activation fee 149 dollars after passing evaluation. No resets. Total year-1 cost approximately 2,830 dollars. Expected payouts at strong performance: 30 to 40 cycles times 1,000 to 5,000 dollars per cycle. Expected trader net after capture: roughly 25,000 to 100,000 dollars depending on event-trading performance.

Scenario 3: multi-account portfolio

Setup: Premium 100K plus Advanced 100K plus Zero 100K with Paul001554 applied. Year-1 monthly subscription totals roughly 6,800 dollars across all three accounts. Activation fees 298 dollars (Premium and Advanced). Total year-1 cost approximately 7,100 dollars. Expected payouts across all accounts: 60 to 100 cycles. Expected trader net: roughly 50,000 to 200,000 dollars depending on aggregate trading performance.

The decision framework: putting it together

The final synthesis ranks plans across the dimensions that matter most for typical trader profiles.

Use the matrix to identify your starting plan and size. Most traders should commit to a single plan first and demonstrate consistent edge before expanding into the multi-account framework. The three-account framework rewards patient scaling rather than aggressive simultaneous launches.

Frequently overlooked rule interactions

Beyond the headline rules covered in plan-specific documentation, several rule interactions deserve explicit attention because they are easy to miss until they affect trading outcomes. The 450K combined cap applies across all funded accounts regardless of plan mix; running three 150K accounts (for example two Premium and one Advanced) exceeds the cap and is not permitted. Copy-trading across accounts is permitted but hedging is not; the distinction can be subtle when running parallel directional positions that briefly become hedged during exit sequencing. The 40 percent Qualified consistency rule on Zero checks profits since the last payout, so concentrating profits on a single day right before a payout request triggers the rule even if longer-term profits are distributed (Premium and Advanced carry no Qualified consistency rule). The Daily Loss Guard on Zero applies during both Evaluation and Qualified phases, which is unique among Alpha Futures plans; Premium and Advanced have no DLG on either phase. The 3.5 percent MLL trail on Advanced is tighter than Premium and Zero’s 4 percent, which forces slightly smaller position sizing on Advanced versus equivalent Premium or Zero positions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Alpha Futures account types?

Alpha Futures offers three evaluation plans (Premium, Advanced, Zero) plus an Alpha Prime post-qualification live-capital invite path. Premium is the entry-level path with a one-step evaluation and 90 percent flat split; it replaced the retired Standard plan on May 1, 2026. Advanced is the premium evaluation path with 90 percent flat split, no Qualified consistency rule, and the tightest MLL trail. Zero skips evaluation entirely with instant-funded simulated capital and 90 percent flat split. Alpha Prime unlocks for traders who reach specific milestones on Qualified accounts, converting to real-capital live trading.

What account sizes does Alpha Futures offer?

Sizes vary by plan. Premium and Advanced both offer 50K, 100K, and 150K. Zero offers 25K, 50K, and 100K. There is no 25K Premium or 25K Advanced; the 25K size exists only on Zero Plan. There is no 150K Zero; Zero caps at 100K. For traders wanting the largest Alpha Futures account, 150K is available on Premium and Advanced only.

Which Alpha Futures plan is cheapest?

Zero 25K at 79 dollars per month with no activation fee is the cheapest entry to Alpha Futures overall. Premium 50K at 79 monthly plus 149 activation is the cheapest evaluation plan. Over a three-month horizon Zero 25K totals 237 (no activation), Premium 50K totals 386 (79 times 3 plus 149). Zero wins on 3-month pricing. Over longer horizons with subscription compounding the activation fee becomes a smaller share of total cost, and Premium can be taken on a no-activation-fee monthly rate instead.

Which Alpha Futures plan has the best profit split?

All three current evaluation plans — Premium, Advanced, and Zero — pay a 90 percent flat split from day one, which is the highest Alpha Futures split. There is no longer a tiered-split plan; the retired Standard plan, which ramped from 70 to 90 percent across five payouts, was replaced by Premium’s flat 90 percent in May 2026. Choose between the three on rules and trail rather than split: Advanced has the tightest 3.5 percent MLL trail, Zero offers instant funding, and Premium is the cheapest one-step evaluation.

What is Alpha Prime?

Alpha Prime is Alpha Futures' post-qualification live-capital invite path. Entry requires reaching either +$40,000 maximum payable balance OR completing 5 payouts on a Qualified account. The transition: trader contributes $5,000 from payable sim balance, firm matches $5,000, resulting in a $10,000 real-capital live account with a 30 percent balance-based daily loss limit. Alpha Prime includes 60 percent profit split plus monthly salary drawn from remaining balance, weekly strategy calls, and quantitative support. Generic Live (without Prime status) runs 80 percent split with no extras.

Can I run multiple Alpha Futures accounts at once?

Yes. Up to three funded accounts simultaneously with a combined $450,000 allocation cap. Accounts can mix plans; one Premium, one Advanced, one Zero is permitted. Copy trading across accounts is allowed (platform-native or third-party copiers). Hedging across accounts is not permitted. Each account maintains independent risk limits and drawdown compliance. The $450K cap constrains maximum combined capacity; three 150K accounts would exceed the cap, so that combination is not available.

What is Alpha Futures' scaling plan?

Alpha Futures Premium has no formal published scaling plan that auto-increases contract limits after payouts. Contract limits are fixed at the account size’s tier. Advanced explicitly has no scaling plan either. Traders who want larger size should start at a larger account (100K or 150K) rather than scaling up from a smaller account. For real-capital scaling beyond the simulated environment, Alpha Prime is the designated progression path.

How do I choose between Premium, Advanced, and Zero?

Match the plan to your trading style. Choose Premium if you want the cheapest monthly subscription, a single one-step evaluation, and a 90 percent flat split from the first payout. Choose Advanced if you are an event trader needing the tightest rule set and the 3.5 percent MLL trail (Advanced Qualified has no consistency rule). Choose Zero if you want instant funding and no evaluation phase, and you are comfortable with the Daily Loss Guard on both phases. For beginners, Premium 50K is the standard starting point; for experienced event traders, Advanced; for traders wanting to skip evaluation, Zero.

What is the difference between Alpha Futures Evaluation and Qualified phases?

Evaluation is the phase where you prove your edge by hitting the profit target without breaching rules. Qualified (funded) is the phase where you trade the firm’s simulated capital and can request payouts. Rules differ between phases: consistency rules, Daily Loss Guard applicability, and news restrictions all vary. Premium uses a single one-step evaluation, after which the 149 activation fee unlocks Qualified (or you take the no-activation-fee monthly rate). Advanced also requires an evaluation. Zero has no Evaluation phase; you are funded from account activation.

Can I switch plans after buying?

Alpha Futures does not support mid-account plan switching. To change from Premium to Advanced, for example, you would cancel the existing Premium account and open a new Advanced account, effectively starting fresh with a new subscription cycle and a new evaluation (Premium/Advanced) or no evaluation (Zero). Plan choice should be made carefully at purchase. Use Paul001554 for 25 percent off your chosen plan.

How much money can I manage on Alpha Futures?

Maximum combined allocation across up to three funded accounts is $450,000. This is the Alpha Futures simulated-capital cap. Within that, you can mix account sizes and plans; for example, one Premium 150K + one Advanced 150K + one Zero 100K = $400K combined, within the cap. Real-capital scaling beyond $450K simulated goes through the Alpha Prime live-capital path with its own progression dynamics.

What happens after I pass my Alpha Futures evaluation?

On Premium or Advanced: pay the 149 activation fee (or take the no-fee monthly rate) and your Qualified (funded) account unlocks. You can start trading the Qualified account with the plan-specific rules (Premium and Advanced both have no Qualified consistency rule and no DLG). Begin accumulating winning days toward your first payout. On Zero: no evaluation to pass; you are funded from account activation. On any plan, after five winning days of $200+ you can request your first payout through the dashboard, up to roughly four times a month.

Can I go from Alpha Futures to live trading?

Yes, through the Alpha Prime live-capital invite path. Reach +$40,000 max payable balance on a Qualified account OR complete 5 payouts, and you are eligible. The transition contributes $5K from your sim balance matched with $5K from the firm for a $10,000 live real-capital account. Alpha Prime adds monthly salary and support resources. Generic Live offers 80 percent split without extras. This is one of the more mature simulated-to-real progression paths in the futures prop category.

Are there discount codes for Alpha Futures?

Yes. Paul001554 is the canonical PTV-affiliated discount code that saves 25 percent on monthly subscription and activation fees across all plans and sizes. The code applies at checkout and remains active through normal promotional cycles. Paul001554 is the recommended code for traders signing up through PTV-affiliated links. Other promotional codes appear seasonally; check current promotions before purchase but Paul001554 is the default.

What is the Alpha Futures MLL mechanic?

Alpha Futures uses an EOD-trailing maximum loss limit on all plans. Premium and Zero use a 4 percent trail. Advanced uses a tighter 3.5 percent trail. The trail moves up at end-of-day-close based on the day’s closing balance and locks at starting balance once cumulative profits move the line up to that point. After lock-in, the account effectively has a static floor at the starting balance, and any profits earned beyond that are permanent cushion.

How does copy trading work across Alpha Futures accounts?

Copy trading is permitted across your own funded Alpha Futures accounts. A trade entered manually on the master account can copy into one or two additional accounts within the three-account framework. Hedging across accounts (long in one, short the same contract in another) is not permitted; only parallel directional trades. Copy trading typically uses platform-native tools or third-party copiers. The setup multiplies per-payout dollar yield without multiplying execution labor.

What is the recommended starting account?

Premium 50K at 79 dollars per month is the recommended starting account for most new Alpha Futures traders. Lowest monthly exposure, a single one-step evaluation, and a 90 percent flat split to learn the rule framework on. Zero 25K at 79 monthly with no activation is the alternative starting point for traders who want to skip evaluation. Both are valid first accounts; the choice depends on whether you want to prove edge through evaluation or skip directly to funded trading.

How long does evaluation typically take to pass?

Most disciplined traders pass Alpha Futures evaluations within two to six weeks of consistent trading. Aggressive sizing can produce faster passes but typically compounds breach risk. Conservative sizing produces longer pass times but lower breach rates. Premium’s one-step evaluation and Advanced’s evaluation both reward traders who plan a steady passing path rather than a single-day sprint.
