How to read this table

The three evaluations are single phase and sold as a monthly subscription that rebills until you pass. 1 Step (Zero) and 1 Step (Standard) ask for 6% of the starting balance, 1 Step (Advanced) asks for 8%. Instant (Direct) has no evaluation, but a first withdrawal target of $1,500 on $25,000 rising to $9,000 on $150,000 must be met before any payout.

The Maximum Loss Limit trails on the end of day balance high on every account and stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance. It is 4% on Zero, 3% to 4% on Standard, 3.5% on Advanced and 3% to 4% on Direct. It is breached on floating equity or closed balance. The terms and conditions also state a flat 4% on all account sizes, which does not match the plan tables.

The Daily Loss Guard is 2% of the starting balance, measured on the trading day's realised and unrealised profit and loss including simulated commissions and fees. Hitting it locks the account until the next trading day at 18:00 ET rather than closing it. Zero applies it in evaluation and once qualified, Standard only once qualified, and Advanced not at all.

There is no time limit. The subscription rebills monthly until the evaluation is passed and a failed evaluation is reset at no extra cost on rebill. Accounts must place at least one trade every 10 trading days, and minimum trading days are 1 on Zero, 2 on Standard and 3 on Advanced.

Alpha Futures challenges: common questions

1 Step (Zero) has the lowest subscription, a 6% target, one minimum trading day and no consistency rule in evaluation, but a daily loss guard applies throughout. 1 Step (Standard) has no daily loss guard in evaluation and larger contract limits. 1 Step (Advanced) asks 8% with no daily loss guard at any stage and a $15,000 payout cap. Instant (Direct) is a one time fee with no evaluation.
