Alpha Futures Zero 100K rules

The account's nominal size: the balance the evaluation starts at.

True when the plan has no evaluation: the fee buys a funded account directly.

How many evaluation phases a trader passes before the funded account: 0 on an instant-funding plan, 1 for a one-step evaluation, 2 for two steps.

Whether the funded account trades simulated capital, live capital, or simulated capital first and live capital later.

The trading platforms and data connections the account can be traded on.

What the account may trade: the exchanges or product list, and any products excluded.

How many micro contracts count as one E-mini toward a contract limit.

When the firm's trading day begins. A trade after this time counts toward the next trading day for every daily rule: daily loss, consistency, winning days and minimum days.

The firm's trading day as it states it, from its open to its close, with the time zone it uses.

What happens when the daily loss limit is reached: trading stops for the day and the account stays open, or the account fails; null when there is no daily loss limit.

The profit needed to pass the evaluation.

The drawdown: the floor sits this far below the balance it follows (see the drawdown type), and reaching it fails the evaluation.

How the drawdown floor follows the balance: end of day trails the highest end-of-day balance; intraday trails the highest balance reached at any moment, open profit included; static never moves.

Where a trailing floor stops rising: at the starting balance, at the balance of the profit target, or never.

Where the trailing floor stops rising when that depends on the platform the account trades on: one row per platform.

True when touching the drawdown floor at any moment, open profit and loss included, fails the evaluation, even when the floor itself is set at the end of the day.

The most the account may lose in one trading day; null when the plan has none.

The largest share of the total profit one trading day may contribute when the evaluation passes; null when the plan has no consistency rule.

What happens when one day's share of the profit goes over the consistency rule: the target rises until the share is back under it, the pass waits for more days, or the evaluation fails.

Trading days needed before the evaluation can pass; null when there is no minimum.

Days that must each make at least a set profit before the evaluation can pass; null when not required.

The balance the funded account starts at. 0 means the account counts profit from zero, with its drawdown floor below zero.

The drawdown: the floor sits this far below the balance it follows (see the drawdown type), and reaching it closes the funded account.

How the drawdown floor follows the balance: end of day trails the highest end-of-day balance; intraday trails the highest balance reached at any moment, open profit included; static never moves.

A trailing floor stops rising once it reaches the funded starting balance plus this amount; 0 means it stops at the funded starting balance.

After the first payout, or after every payout, the floor moves to the funded starting balance plus a set amount; null when payouts do not move the floor.

True when the trailing floor locks at its stopping level the moment a payout is requested, not only when the balance reaches it.

What the trailing drawdown follows on the funded account: the balance, or gross profit with payouts added back (so a payout uses up the cushion instead of lowering the trail).

True when touching the drawdown floor at any moment, open profit and loss included, closes the funded account.

The most the account may lose in one trading day; null when the plan has none. When the limit changes with profit, this is the first tier and funded.daily_loss_tiers holds the rest.

A daily loss limit that changes with the profit above the starting balance, read at the start of each day: each row applies once that profit reaches its level; null when the limit is fixed.

The most contracts that may be open at once; null when contract scaling or contract limit growth sets the limit instead.

The contract limit by profit above the funded starting balance, read at the start of each day: each row applies once that profit reaches its level; null when there is no scaling plan.

A contract limit that grows with profit: a starting number of contracts, plus one for every set amount of profit at the start of the day; null when the limit is fixed.

Until the balance first reaches the funded starting balance plus a set profit, only a fraction of the maximum contracts may be open (rounded down, at least one); null when the full limit applies from the start.

How many times a failed funded account can be restarted for a fee without a new evaluation; null when it cannot.

Calendar days after losing a funded account within which it can be reactivated for a fee; null when it cannot.

Calendar days needed since the last payout (since funding, for the first) before a payout can be requested; null when there is no such rule.

The profit a trading day must make to count as a winning day; null when winning days are not required.

The largest share of the counted profit one trading day since the last payout may contribute before a payout is allowed; null when there is no such rule.

What the payout consistency share is measured against, as the firm states it: net profit since the last payout, gross profit with payouts added back, or another basis.

Where the profit counted toward a payout is measured from: the last payout, or the start of the funded account.

The profit, counted from the profit basis, needed before a payout can be requested; null when there is no minimum.

The smallest payout the firm will process in one request; null when there is no minimum.

Profit above the funded starting balance that must stay in the account; a payout comes only from profit above it. 0 means no buffer.

The largest single payout; null when there is no fixed cap.

A payout may take at most this share of the profit above the buffer; null when the whole profit above the buffer may be paid out.

A payout may be at most this share of the account balance; null when there is no such cap.

A payout may be at most this multiple of the profit made since the last payout; null when there is no such cap.

The trader's share of each payout. When the share depends on profit, this is the share most payouts get and payouts.profit_split_tiers holds the rule.

A profit split that depends on the profit left in the account: each row's share applies to the part of a payout above its level; null when the split is flat.

True when every payout after the first needs a net profit since the last payout.

The balance an account must keep after a payout, when the firm sets one apart from the buffer; null when there is none.

A withdrawal the firm allows before the usual payout conditions are met (for example one payout while still inside the buffer), with its limits.

The trader's share of the profit inside the buffer, paid only when the account is closed; null when the buffer is never paid out.

Another set of payout rules the trader can choose instead (usually at activation, then fixed), with its terms.

The funded account closes once its payouts add up to this amount; null when there is no such limit.

The price of the evaluation as the simulation charges it, or of the account itself on an instant-funding plan; fees.evaluation_price_basis says whether it is the list price or a standing promotion.

The firm's list price for the evaluation, before any promotion.

The price the firm's own pages show with its standing promotion; null when there is no promotion.

The standing promotion the firm's pages show: its code, its discount, what it covers and when it ends.

Whether the evaluation is paid once, or billed again every period while it is open.

Charged again every period while the evaluation is open; null when the evaluation fee is paid once.

How often the recurring fee is charged; null when there is no recurring fee.

The price to restart a failed evaluation; null when the plan offers no reset and a new evaluation is bought instead.

Limits and terms on resets: how many are allowed in a period, whether a promotion applies, whether a reset moves the billing date.

Free resets the firm banks for the trader (for example one per billing period), and when they expire.

Charged once when the account becomes funded; 0 when there is none.

A version of the plan sold at a different price with no activation fee, with its prices.

The price to reactivate a lost funded account within the reactivation window; null when that is not offered.
