Standard Account Overview

Alpha Futures Standard Account Rules & Parameters

B
Written by Benjamin Chaffee

Standard Account has been RETIRED as of May 1, 2026. No retroactive changes, but it is no longer for sale here at Alpha. For legacy users looking to review policies on the site at the time of purchase, that may be viewed below.

In order to pass a Standard Evaluation: there are two conditions to be met, the trader must reach (+ maintain) the profit target, and satisfy the 50% consistency rule.

There is only one way to fail on Evaluation Accounts, do not allow the Account Balance to hit or exceed the Maximum Loss Limit.

Benefits of Standard Account:
1.) Largest withdrawal cap in industry of $15,000, per request, per account.

2.) Consistent Profit Target to Drawdown Ratios on all account sizes. Other firms tighten drawdown on their 100k+ accounts.

3.) No Daily Loss Guard on Evaluations.
4.) Trade with more freedom. Most accounts on market have BOTH tough consistency and 5-10 trading day requirements. It only takes 3 trading days to be able to satisfy our 40% consistency rule.
5.) No buffer requirements. No "can't withdraw until ____ level" or "must keep $____" in your account, that is up to the user how they would like to manage it.
6.) No "MLL slides to $0 at first withdrawal" rule. Other firms punish you for taking small payouts, not here. If MLL was at $49,200 before payout, it will be after as well.

Standard Account Payout Policy:
Traders may request payouts every 14 days from first trade placed on their Qualified Account as long as the 40% Consistency Rule is satisfied. Payouts will be processed in 48 hours or less.

Realize your withdrawals contribute towards your Maximum Loss Limit. For example, let’s say you have grown your $50k account to $55,000, your MLL is $50,000. If you want to, you may withdraw all $5,000 of your profit and receive $4,500 (90%).

However, your account balance will now be $50,000 which would breach MLL and effectively close your account.

We encourage traders to focus on longevity and pay themselves as they profit, rather than trying to catch one big day or week then close out the account.
