What to know before you compare
Alpha Capital Group's Alpha Pro is a simulated two-step evaluation leading toward a Qualified Analyst account. This guide focuses on the 8% and 10% variants and the biweekly performance-fee option, rather than combining every Alpha product. [1][2]

Know which Alpha Pro you are buying
Alpha Pro currently offers 6%, 8% and 10% variants, with simulated funds and an 80% standard performance-fee split. A 90% add-on is available with the on-demand option. [1] Those are different configurations, not interchangeable benefits. Keep the selected variant, payout schedule, platform and add-ons together in one purchase record. This article reviews the published documentation; it does not claim firsthand testing or independently audited payout performance.
Targets and loss limits for 8% and 10%
Pro 8% requires targets of 8% then 5%, with 8% static maximum drawdown and 4% balance-based daily drawdown. Pro 10% uses 10% then 5%, a 10% static limit and 5% daily limit. Both require three trading days per phase. [2] Evaluate those combinations as a whole. A higher permissible loss and a higher target change the challenge together, so one percentage does not establish which configuration fits your strategy.
The payout calendar has prerequisites
For the biweekly option, the first request becomes available 14 days after the first Qualified Analyst trade. The published minimum is $100 gross, or $80 net at the standard split. The first request also requires five qualifying trading days using the same strategy; minimal-size trades solely to satisfy the day count are not accepted. [3] A date on the calendar is therefore only one part of eligibility. Check your dashboard's metrics before planning a withdrawal.
Passing does not refund the fee
Alpha describes the evaluation as a one-time purchase and says passing does not automatically credit the fee back. Its return policy states that sales are final. [4][5] Obtain the exact total for your chosen size, platform and options at checkout. Compare that amount with a realistic attempts budget rather than treating future performance fees as guaranteed reimbursement. A recurring payment assumption taken from a futures firm's subscription model would misdescribe this product.
Rules change between evaluation and qualification
The Pro help page allows weekend holding during evaluation but prohibits it on Qualified Analyst accounts. It also sets lot-exposure limits and describes restrictions around major news releases. [2] Read the detailed rule linked to your account before using an evaluation strategy unchanged after qualification. In your own journal, distinguish a trade that loses money from a trade that violates a contract: a profitable trade can still create an eligibility problem.
Country and platform eligibility come first
Alpha's country policy applies to both nationality and residence. Its country guide also describes platform-specific availability, including limitations affecting US customers. [6][7] Check the actual signup and platform selection before paying, and seek clarification if those screens conflict with a general availability page. The ability to read a website does not establish eligibility. Save the applicable terms so the relevant program version is clear if you later contact support.
A practical comparison checklist
Compare the 8% and 10% variants using the same proposed trading plan, account size and expected holding period. Write down the permitted drawdown floor, usual position exposure, payment outlay and requirements for the first performance fee. Then compare another firm's equivalent product on those same questions. Published rules can describe contractual constraints; they cannot prove that you will pass, qualify for a payment or receive consistent income. Facts were checked on October 25, 2026.
