The Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) is a trailing drawdown set at 4% on all Standard Account sizes, and 3.5% on all Advanced Account sizes here at Alpha Futures. This allows traders to pick whichever account size they want without having to change their style. Most prop firms allow a 3% MLL on accounts larger than $50k.<\/span><\/td>\n
