Guides What is Scaling In and Scaling Out?
Entering a position in smaller fractions to confirm the market is moving in your favor before committing full risk. Closing portions of a winning trade at specific targets to lock in guaranteed profit while letting the rest run. Using these methods during an evaluation (or prop firm challenge) dramatically reduces emotional stress and protects your simulated capital from sudden market reversals.
Guides What is a Break of Structure (BOS)?
A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when the price clearly closes past a previous significant high or low, confirming trend continuation. A valid BOS requires a full candle body close; a simple wick past the level is often just a trap. Waiting for structural breaks prevents traders from guessing tops and bottoms, providing the disciplined edge required to earn a performance fee (commonly known as a payout or profit split).
Guides What is a Liquidity Sweep?
A liquidity sweep is a sudden market move that breaches clear support or resistance levels to trigger stop-losses before reversing. It traps breakout traders and stops out early entrants, allowing smart money to collect the orders needed to move the market. Waiting for a sweep before entering a trade helps protect your simulated funds and keeps you on the right side of the market when managing a qualified account (often called a funded account).

Trader Stories
Watch Our Best Traders Win
Real stories from funded traders — their strategies, challenges, and the moments that changed everything.
5ive
5ive lost roughly £25,000 to crypto gambling, failed signal groups, and overtrading before he completely restructured his approach to the markets. He shifted from rigid home-run trades to securing 80% partials at 1:2 risk-to-reward ratios using ICT concepts, primarily on GBP/USD and EUR/USD. By mastering his discipline and learning to sit out of bad market conditions for months at a time, 5ive successfully navigated our evaluations (often called prop firm challenges) and scaled his accounts to achieve over $150,000 in performance fees.
Mathe
After losing the $5,000 he made from his teenage web agency, Mathe quit trading for a year to build a $10k/month business, eliminating his financial desperation. He ignores technical analysis "hacks" in favor of pure probabilities and statistics, executing intraday SMC/Wyckoff concepts on pairs like GU, EU, and NASDAQ. By adopting a "portfolio mindset" across his accounts (frequently referred to as prop firm challenges), Mathe dynamically manages his risk to maximize his performance fees as an Alpha Capital Qualified Trader.
Moe
Moe blew his university tuition fees on his second trade and later watched a $360,000 crypto portfolio plummet due to greed and confirmation bias. He rebuilt his edge by combining macroeconomic fundamentals (like central bank data and COT reports) with precise price action reversal patterns on lower timeframes. By mastering his psychology and impulse control, Moe successfully navigated our evaluations (often called prop firm challenges) to become a highly consistent Qualified Analyst with Alpha Capital.
