Alpha FuturesAlpha Futures 100K Direct: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Alpha Futures 100K Direct ranks #36 of the 77 100K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 52. Its strongest part is speed, its weakest is rules.
There is no evaluation: one try costs $413. The funded account needs $6,000 on a $3,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 3.9). Together that is about 1 in 3.9 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $1,598 on average (the typical plan of this size: $2,601).
A steady trader making $400 a day gets the first payout after 15 trading days and keeps $11,250 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$1,598 per first payout76
A trader with no edge reaches a profit of d before losing a static drawdown of D with chance D ÷ (D + d). A trailing floor that follows the peak gives e−d ÷ D; end of day trailing counts halfway between the two.
