Why DX Trade matters for US traders
For U.S. residents, available platforms are cTrader, DX Trade, and TradeLocker.
MetaTrader 5 is not available to U.S. residents. Traders travelling to the U.S. must not use MT5 while there.
cTrader is not accepting new U.S. customers. Existing U.S. cTrader customers can continue and buy new evaluations.
So for new U.S. customers, the practical live options named are DX Trade and TradeLocker.
Country eligibility is separate. Check country availability before purchase.
We are still a UK prop firm (Alpha Capital Group). Platform availability for U.S. residents does not change our simulated evaluation model.

What DX Trade does not support on Alpha Capital
Expert Advisors
EA functionality is not currently available for DX Trade accounts.
Risk-management EAs under our rules require MT5. See MT5 prop firm guide.
Our platforms page mentions support for algorithmic trading as a product feature. That is not the same as our EA approval policy. For what you are allowed to run: Can I use an Expert Advisor (EA)?
Copy trading
Copy trading on or from DX Trade accounts is not possible at this time.
Screenshots / full detail: Is copy trading allowed?
Who should pick DX Trade
Good fit if you want a web-browser platform with DOM and advanced order management, and you trade without our EAs or copy trading.
Especially relevant if you are a U.S. resident who cannot use MT5, and you are not an existing cTrader customer eligible under the new-customer restriction.
Not the right pick if you need MT5 EAs or copy trading under our rules.
