Alpha Capital Group is a UK-based proprietary trading/evaluation firm launched in November 2021.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but the rules depend on the account. Evaluation accounts can trade during news. Qualified Pro, One, Three and Direct accounts cannot open or close targeted instruments during the five minutes before or after specified high-impact releases. Swing has a separate two-minute trade-duration rule around major news.
Yes on Alpha Swing during both evaluation and Qualified stages. Standard Pro accounts allow weekend holding during evaluation but not after qualification. Alpha One permits weekend holding in both stages. Alpha Direct does not allow weekend holding.
Only approved EAs designed for risk management or trade assistance are permitted, generally on MT5. Fully automated trading, HFT and latency arbitrage are prohibited. Alpha Direct does not permit EAs.
Yes, provided it uses a static IP and Alpha Capital is notified before use. Using a VPN/VPS without notification can lead to account closure.
Potentially, but significant IP/location changes can trigger security checks. Alpha specifically advises traders to notify support when using arrangements that produce changing locations/IPs.
Yes in certain circumstances, particularly where you own/control the master account and provide the requested account information. Copying another trader's positions or participating in group trading is prohibited.
Short-duration trades are possible, but the firm requires an average trade duration above two minutes and at least 50% of applicable profits to come from trades lasting more than two minutes. Extreme scalping can also trigger Focused Trader restrictions.
No. Fully automated high-frequency systems and latency-arbitrage strategies are explicitly prohibited.
It depends on the model: Pro 6/8/10 uses 6%/8%/10% static drawdown; Alpha One uses 4%/6%/8% trailing drawdown; Three uses 6% static; Swing uses 10% static; Direct uses 5% trailing.
It varies by model: Pro 6 = 3%, Pro 8 = 4%, Pro 10 = 5%, One 6 = 3% evaluation/4% Qualified, One 10 = 4%, One 12 = 5%, Swing = 5%, Three = 4%, Direct = 3%.
Alpha states that performance-fee requests are processed and paid within two business days, subject to its review of the account and applicable rules.
For On-Demand Pro, Swing, One and Three accounts, the minimum profit requirement is 2% of gross account profits. Direct requires a 3% buffer plus at least 1% additional gross profit before requesting a payout.
The standard Qualified Analyst split is 80%. A 90% add-on is available for Alpha One and eligible On-Demand Pro accounts. Alpha Direct provides a 90% split as standard.
Evaluation purchases have no stated purchase-count limit, but Qualified Analyst accounts are subject to a $400K household allocation and $300K maximum per strategy.
I did not find a current official document establishing a blanket prohibition on ordinary hedging. However, correlated/group trading, strategy-allocation rules and other risk controls can still apply. Verify the specific intended hedging setup with Alpha before purchase.
There is no simple blanket “martingale/grid permitted” statement in the current documentation I verified. The firm's gambling, risk, maximum-exposure, group-trading and Focused Trader rules can apply. Do not record this as unrestricted permission.
Yes, but the firm prohibits unexplained/geographically impossible IP changes. VPN/VPS use requires a static IP and advance notification. Household IP sharing is possible after disclosure.
Yes. A government-issued ID and selfie/facial verification are required before a Qualified Analyst account is issued or performance fees are processed.
