Alpha Futures Max Contract Size
The Simple Answer
Alpha Futures sets max position size by account type and size, from 1 mini on the smallest 25K Zero account up to 15 mini on the largest 150K Standard or Advanced account, with Direct accounts offering a fixed, non-scaling middle-ground option.
Alpha Futures runs four account types, Zero, Standard, Direct, and Advanced, each with its own evaluation and qualified-stage position limits.
How Position Limits Work by Account Type
Zero Accounts
The smallest entry point, running from 1 mini on the 25K tier up to 6 minis on the 100K tier, with a 1-day minimum trading requirement and no consistency rule at the evaluation stage.
Standard Accounts
Offer a higher position limit than Zero at every matching size, from 5 minis on 50K up to 15 minis on 150K, with a 2-day minimum trading requirement and a 50% consistency rule during evaluation.
Direct Accounts
Skip the evaluation entirely and start Qualified immediately, with position limits fixed for that account, from 2 minis on 25K up to 10 minis on 150K, and explicitly carry No Scaling Plan.
Advanced Accounts
Match Standard’s position-limit figures at each size (5 minis on 50K up to 15 minis on 150K) but with a 3-day minimum trading requirement, a 40% consistency rule during evaluation, and No Scaling Plan once qualified, meaning the position limit stays fixed rather than growing further.
Final Thoughts
Alpha Futures gives traders four distinct paths to a funded position limit, from the smaller, lower-risk Zero account through Standard and Advanced’s larger limits, to Direct’s instant, fixed-limit qualified account with no evaluation.
