Alpha One FAQs
What is Alpha One?
Alpha One is Alpha Capital's 1-step evaluation programme. You complete one evaluation phase on simulated funds, then you may be eligible for a Qualified Account. There is no second phase. Leverage is up to 1:30 on FX. Results are simulated and performance fees are not guaranteed.
What is the profit target?
You choose a 6%, 10%, or 12% profit target at checkout. Hit that target once, keep the published risk rules, and complete at least 1 trading day to pass the evaluation.
How does drawdown work on Alpha One?
Alpha One uses a trailing max loss based on the high-water mark: 4% on the 6% plan, 6% on the 10% plan, and 8% on the 12% plan. Daily loss is 3% in evaluation and 4% on the Qualified Account for the 6% plan, 4% for the 10% plan, and 5% for the 12% plan. Daily loss uses the higher of end-of-day balance or equity. Limits apply to simulated balances.
How does Alpha One differ from Alpha Direct and 2-Step?
Alpha Direct has no evaluation: you start on a Qualified Account from purchase with a 90% split and tighter risk rules. Alpha One requires one evaluation phase and uses trailing drawdown. 2-Step (Alpha Pro and Swing) requires two phases and uses static drawdown. All programmes trade simulated funds.
What is the performance split?
Qualified Analysts keep 80% of approved performance fees as standard. An optional 90% add-on is available on Alpha One at purchase. Requests are on-demand once you meet eligibility, including a 40% Best Day Rule and a 2% minimum profit. Approval is not guaranteed.
What are the minimum days, news, and weekend rules?
You need at least 1 trading day in the evaluation; there is no maximum trading-day cap. Weekend holding is allowed in evaluation and on the Qualified Account. News is unrestricted during evaluation. On the Qualified Account you cannot open or close trades on listed instruments for 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after listed news events.
