- Performance fees are paid up to four times a month, often the same day

Cons
- Its own site confirms every account trades inside a simulated environment

- Launched as a comeback vehicle after a 2024 US client suspension at its sister firm
- Pricing and rules differ across four account types, which adds real complexity
Alpha Futures Limited was incorporated in the UK on 17 April 2024, led by George Kohler and Andrew Blaylock. It launched soon after sister firm Alpha Capital Group paused US client purchases in February 2024, when MetaQuotes cut ties with many prop trading firms over regulatory pressure.
Traders pay a monthly or one time fee for a Zero, Standard, Advanced, or Direct evaluation, aiming to hit a profit target on futures like the ES, NQ, and CL while staying inside a loss limit. Passing makes a trader a Qualified Analyst, eligible for performance fees up to 90 percent of simulated profit, paid up to four times a month.
Alpha Futures states plainly on its own site that all accounts run inside a simulated trading environment, and that simulated results do not reflect real trading outcomes, a standard CFTC Rule 4.41 disclosure. The firm reports a 4.9 out of 5 Trustpilot score from over 17,000 reviews and says it has paid out $70 million in performance fees.
