Alpha FuturesAlpha Futures 25K Zero: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Alpha Futures 25K Zero ranks #8 of the 64 25K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 65. Its strongest part is cost, its weakest is rules.
One try costs $53. The evaluation needs $1,500 on a $1,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 3.1). The funded account needs $1,000 on a $1,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 2.3). Together that is about 1 in 7.1 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $381 on average (the typical plan of this size: $1,011).
A steady trader making $100 a day gets the first payout after 25 trading days and keeps $4,514 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$381 per first payout92
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.
