Alpha Futures Zero: no consistency rule to pass, and a drawdown that doesn't punish your first payout

Alpha Futures' Zero account is a monthly subscription evaluation with no activation fee and no consistency rule to pass, so a one-day pass is possible. The Maximum Loss Limit trails your end-of-day balance, and a Daily Loss Guard pauses you for the day instead of failing the account.

Zero comes in 25K, 50K and 100K. Resets cost less than a new month ($79, $119 and $249).

How the risk rules work

• Maximum Loss Limit. End-of-day trailing on every Alpha Futures account, calculated from your highest balance at the end of each trading day. Hitting it is the only way to fail an evaluation.
• Daily Loss Guard. A soft limit: hit it and trading pauses until the next session at 6 PM ET. The account stays alive.
• No consistency rule in the eval. You can pass in one day. A 40% consistency rule only applies once you're qualified.

Payouts once you're qualified

Qualified Zero accounts keep a 90% split from the first payout. You can request up to 50% of your profit after every five winning days of $200 or more, up to four times a month. The limits per request are $200 to $1,000 on the 25K, $200 to $1,500 on the 50K and $200 to $2,500 on the 100K.

The detail worth noticing: Alpha Futures says the Maximum Loss Limit doesn't slide to $0 when you take your first payout. If it sat at $49,200 before a payout, it stays there after. Several firms reset the floor at the first payout, which wipes your cushion. Here a small early payout doesn't cost you room.

Practice the rule set first

FundedSim doesn't simulate Alpha Futures yet. The Apex End of Day and Topstep accounts in the simulator use the same end-of-day trailing logic and are the closest practice for the Maximum Loss Limit.
