Hidden rules 22

Read clause by clause from the firm's legal documents. Grouped by what happens if you break the rule. Tap a rule to see the exact quote and clause.

Account breach 6

Funded accounts are closed if open loss on any one asset reaches 3% (accounts of $5k-$25k), 2% ($50k and up) or 1% (Alpha Direct). ⚑ flagged
“if your open drawdown on any given asset reaches the maximum risk threshold for your account size, this rule is breached and the account will be closed”

Clause Schedule 2, 3.3 (Max Risk Rule) · risk per trade stop loss · applies to: Qualified Analyst (funded) · source ↗

⚑ It's measured on equity, including unrealised loss, per asset rather than per trade.

In the Focused Trader Group, total risk across all open positions is capped at 1% of the starting balance. After a 1% loss on a symbol you must wait until the next day to trade it again, or the account is breached.
“the maximum allowable risk for any single position is 1% of your initial balance ... where the cumulative risk must not exceed 1%”

Clause Schedule 2, 3.6 · risk per trade stop loss · applies to: Focused Trader Group accounts · source ↗

You can only copy trades from your own external account. Copying other traders ends the service.
“the only copy trading allowed is that from your own external account to your Alpha Account”

Clause 9.1.5 · copy trading account sharing · applies to: All accounts · source ↗

Never contact Alpha's broker directly. Doing so ends the service immediately.
“Any such direct and non-Account Owner sanctioned contact with any Account Owner broker ... will result in instant termination”

Clause 9.1.2 · deny void change rules · applies to: All accounts · source ↗

Alpha can refuse or end service if access is restricted in your country. ⚑ flagged

⚑ Added 24 Oct 2026 in the full no-rule-found sweep.

Profit voided 5

Funded accounts have a maximum lot exposure by account size. The first breach removes the profit from the oversized lots; the second forfeits the fee and closes the account. Each position counts separately. ⚑ flagged
“the performance fee acquired through lot sizes exceeding the permissible limit will not be eligible for withdrawal”

Clause Schedule 3, per-plan Max Lot Exposure · lot position caps · applies to: Qualified Analyst (Pro, Swing, One, Three) · plans: Alpha Pro 8% (2-Step), Alpha Pro 6% (2-Step), Alpha Pro 10% (2-Step), Alpha Swing (2-Step), Alpha One 6%/10%/12% (1-Step), Alpha Three (3-Step) · source ↗

⚑ The exact lot tables per plan are in Schedule 3.

Pro, One and Three funded accounts: you can't open or close a trade on the affected instrument from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after high-impact news.

“its duration must exceed 2 minutes for the trade to be valid”

Clause Schedule 3, Alpha Swing News Trading · banned strategies · applies to: Qualified Analyst (Swing) · plans: Alpha Swing (2-Step) · source ↗

Holding over the weekend on a Pro funded account is a 'soft breach': the account stays open but profits from those trades are removed.
“Holding trades over the weekend is not allowed ... the profits from those trades are removed”

Clause Schedule 3, Weekend Holding · banned strategies · applies to: Qualified Analyst (Pro) · plans: Alpha Pro 8% (2-Step), Alpha Pro 6% (2-Step), Alpha Pro 10% (2-Step) · source ↗

Alpha decides at its own discretion what trades or strategies are not allowed, and won't pay the fee for trades it judges in breach.
“The Analyst Performance Fee will not be paid where we ascertain, in our sole discretion, that any of your virtual trades have been made in contravention”

Clause 9.1.7; Schedule 2, 2.6 · deny void change rules · applies to: All accounts · source ↗

Payout delayed or denied 4

To get paid, no single day can make more than 40% of total profit (15% on Alpha Direct).

Before you can request your first on-demand payout, you must build a 3% profit buffer. On a $100,000 account, that is $3,000, which must be reached first and must remain in the account.”

Clause (see source) · consistency gambling · applies to: see rule · plans: Alpha Direct (instant) · source ↗

Max lot exposure per account size (e.g. $100k=40 lots); checked at withdrawal review: 1st violation -> performance fee from excess lots not withdrawable; 2nd -> fee forfeited and Qualified account deactivated; violations counted per position

Upon the second instance of violating this rule, the performance fee will be forfeited and the Qualified Analyst Account will be deactivated.”

Clause (see source) · lot position caps · applies to: see rule · source ↗
