Company information & important conditions
Summarized from official documentation. These facts are separate from our editorial assessment.
Company and account environment
Alpha Capital Group Limited is incorporated in England and Wales, company number 13719951. Its website lists the registered office at 1 Allied Business Centre, Coldharbour Lane, Harpenden, AL5 4UT. Evaluation and Qualified Analyst accounts both use simulated capital.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
US access and platforms
The platform FAQ supports US traders on DXtrade and TradeLocker. New US cTrader customers are restricted; existing eligible cTrader customers have separate treatment. MT5 is unavailable for US residents and must not be used while travelling in the US. The non-US checkbox appeared with MT5 and disappeared after selecting DXtrade in the public purchase flow.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Current catalogue and source difference
The live selector offered One 6%, 10% and 12%, Pro 6/8/10, Swing and Direct. A September 21 article says only One 10% is currently sold, contradicting the live selector and plan FAQ. This catalogue follows the selectable products and flags the discrepancy. Alpha Three remains documented but was absent from the current purchase selector, so no new Three prices are listed.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Alpha One stage differences
One is a single-stage evaluation with one minimum trading day. Its 6/10/12 variants use trailing loss allowances of 4/6/8%. One 6% has a 3% evaluation daily limit but a 4% qualified daily limit. The 12% variant stops at $100K; the others offer up to $200K.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Pro payout schedules
Pro offers Bi-Weekly or On-Demand at different entry prices. Bi-Weekly requests begin 14 days after the first qualified trade, require five qualifying days for the first request and at least $100 gross profit. On-Demand has a 40% best-day test and a minimum 2% gross profit requirement. The schedules cannot be used interchangeably.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
On-Demand payouts
One, Swing and On-Demand Pro require the best day to contribute no more than 40% of the applicable profits, with at least 2% gross profit. Partial withdrawals and further trading affect the payout window. Meeting a minimum number of days alone does not establish payout eligibility.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Direct payout buffer
Direct has no evaluation, but payouts require a retained 3% profit buffer plus at least 1% additional gross profit. Its best day cannot exceed 15% of generated profits. The standard trader share is 90%. Direct cannot be scaled or merged and does not allow EAs.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Daily loss calculations
Pro 8/10 and Swing use the daily starting balance. Pro 6, One and Direct use the higher of the daily starting balance or equity. The official daily-risk article specifies the broker daily reset at 00:00 GMT+3. Crossing the equity floor is a hard breach, not a temporary pause.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Maximum risk per asset
Qualified accounts bought after July 21, 2026 have an additional per-asset open-loss rule: 3% below $50K, 2% at $50K and above, or 1% for every Direct size. Losses from same-direction re-entry within ten minutes are combined. Profitable positions do not offset losing positions for this rule.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Withdrawals and processing
Requests are made from the dashboard with all trades closed. The published processing period is two business days, subject to the account review. The account remains locked during processing. Payout methods are Rise, Wise and bank transfer; crypto withdrawal is only through Rise.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Optional upgrades
An optional 90% split is offered on One and On-Demand Pro, at approximately 10% extra. Swap-free is MT5-only on One and Pro, also approximately 10% extra, with an alternative commission structure. Upgrades must be selected at purchase and are excluded from the listed base prices.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Two-minute trading rule
Average trade duration and the majority of trades must exceed two minutes. At least half the relevant generated or target profit must come from trades longer than two minutes. This applies in evaluation and qualified stages; it is more restrictive than simply permitting all forms of scalping.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
EA restrictions
Only approved MT5 trade-assistance and risk-management tools are permitted. Fully autonomous trading bots are prohibited. EAs are unavailable on cTrader, DXtrade, TradeLocker, swap-free and Direct accounts; approval and purchase-stage setup are required for eligible MT5 use.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Inactivity
All stages have a 30-consecutive-day inactivity limit. Logging in alone is not sufficient: genuine trading activity is required. The policy describes deactivation as irreversible and asks traders to contact support before an extended absence.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Scaling and allocation
The shared maximum starting allocation is $400K across the Alpha plans. Pro and Swing can apply for scaling under the dedicated policy: a qualifying 10% gain, increases based on initial balance, and a $2 million cumulative ceiling. One and Direct are not listed as eligible scaling plans.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Focused Trader Group
The risk team can impose lower leverage and position limits and further trading restrictions. Returning to ordinary conditions requires review rather than happening automatically after a payout. Check the applicable account classification before relying on headline leverage.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Fourth-payout bonus
The policy describes a discretionary bonus equal to 0.25% of the initial balance on the fourth successful performance-fee payment. It is not an unconditional refund of the purchase fee.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Country and identity checks
Residency, nationality, sanctions and identity verification restrictions apply. US platform rules are separate from the restricted-country list. All personal details must match verification documents; platform selection does not guarantee successful onboarding.
Official source · Checked 2026-09-28
Price and promotion verification
Official product selector fee in USD, standard split and swaps, without optional add-ons. Representative public order summaries and coupon applications checked; not every variant was checked at the payment stage. No purchase made; final taxes and personal eligibility not verified. The official promotion page lists ALPHA20, FUNDED40 and 10KFOR40 through September 30, 2026. Those codes worked in representative public order summaries. ALPHA30 and DIRECT50 from the newer article returned Invalid coupon and are excluded.
