LIVE Account Rules and Parameters

Our Path to Live is described here.
​
Our Legacy Live Traders before June 21 start with a $10,000 static, non trailing, drawdown account.
​
- No consistency rule
- No news trading restrictions
- Maximum position size: in live accounts this will depend on asset traded. We offer a generous 10:1 leverage on the $10,000 account with our partnered brokerage.
- Daily Loss Limit: starts at $3,000 and continues to scale at 30% of account balance as you gain. So, a $13,000 account will have a $3,900 DLL. This is not a breach of the account, simply a pause until next trading day.
​
All Live Traders at Alpha Prime will have opportunities to work with our Risk & Performance Team with more than 30 years of Traditional Prop Firm experience. We are here to make you better!
​
Trades do not need to be closed by 4:20pm EST (like they do on sim accounts). Swing trading/holding overnight is indeed permitted, but traders need to be aware there is a large difference in overnight position margin requirements.
​
We do not expect traders to force trades, or trade every day, but the Performance Team at Alpha Prime will step in where needed if traders are clearly acting recklessly/trying to collect monthly salary with minimum trades or gains on the account. These types will be removed from the program and have their contract breached.
​
Traders that excel in our Alpha Prime program will be considered to increase their monthly salary as well as their fund allocation.
