Eight programmes, one missing sentence
Alpha Capital sells 8 challenges and will not say what ends one
Every one of them publishes a daily loss limit. Not one says whether breaching it ends the attempt or pauses the account until the next session — and elsewhere in this data that single sentence separates two programmes with otherwise identical numbers by fifty-four points.
So every figure below takes the conservative reading, that the attempt ends, and every figure below is therefore ours rather than theirs. Under it the 8 run from 70% to 98%.
All 8, by family
| Programme | Phases | Total target | Daily | Overall | Drawdown | Losses | Fails |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha One 6% | 1 | 6% | 3% | 4% | Trailing, EOD | 3 | 86% our reading |
| Alpha One 10% | 1 | 10% | 4% | 6% | Trailing, EOD | 4 | 84% our reading |
| Alpha One 12% | 1 | 12% | 5% | 8% | Trailing, EOD | 5 | 70% our reading |
| Alpha Pro 6% | 2 | 12% | 3% | 6% | Static | 3 | 98% our reading |
| Alpha Pro 8% | 2 | 13% | 4% | 8% | Static | 4 | 91% our reading |
| Alpha Pro 10% | 2 | 15% | 5% | 10% | Static | 5 | 78% our reading |
| Alpha Swing | 2 | 15% | 5% | 10% | Static | 5 | 78% our reading |
| Alpha Three | 3 | 16% | 4% | 6% | Static | 4 | 95% our reading |
At 1% risk per trade, a 40% win rate and 2R winners. Every row is marked “our reading” because every row rests on an assumption the firm has not confirmed. The number in each name is its profit target, per phase.

Same profit, 28 points apart
Alpha One 12% and Alpha Pro 6% both ask 12% in total — one in a single phase, the other as 6% then 6%. They land at 70% and 98%.
The caps do all of it. Alpha One 12% allows 5% a day inside 8% overall, which is 5 full-risk losses in a row; Alpha Pro 6% allows 3% inside 6%, which is 3. The chance of a losing run reaching a given length falls away exponentially, so those 2 extra losses are worth more than the whole difference in how the profit is split across phases.
The drawdown type points the other way and loses. Alpha One 12% trails at the end of each day and Alpha Pro 6% is static, so on the field most readers compare, the harder programme looks safer.
Both families run the same way
Read either family down the table and the profit target rises while the failure rate falls, without exception: Alpha One asks 6%, 10%, 12% and computes 86%, 84%, 70%; Alpha Pro asks 12%, 13%, 15% and computes 98%, 91%, 78%. The variant asking the most profit is the likeliest to be passed, in both.
It happens because Alpha Capital raise the caps alongside the target, and the caps move further in what they are worth: one more survivable loss per step, against a few more points of profit to find. This is the same structure FundedNext build their Stellar range on, and that page works through why an extra loss outweighs the extra profit rather than it being argued twice here.
The question to ask before paying
“If I hit the daily loss limit, is the account failed or paused until tomorrow?” It takes one message to their support and it is worth more than any discount on this page. If the answer is “paused”, the overall drawdown becomes the only way to fail and every figure above understates these programmes substantially.
We record what firms publish, so until Alpha Capital publishes it, this stays an assumption rather than a rule — and stays marked as one on every row.
What this does not measure
- · The unpublished rule above. It is the largest source of error on this page and it works in one direction: these programmes can only be easier than shown, never harder.
- · Assumes each trade is independent. Correlated positions — three majors against the dollar — lose together and count as one.
- · Assumes every trade risks the same amount. Raising size after a loss shortens the streak you can survive.
- · Uses your stated win rate. If that came from a demo account or a good month, the figure below is optimistic.
- · Only 4 of the 8 had a fee ladder on the pages read, so cost is not compared here. The cost page uses what exists.
- · Whether Alpha Capital pays. No published rule answers that.
On the numbers above
Alpha Capital Group — Alpha One 12%
It comes out ahead on the chance a losing streak ends the attempt, at 1% risk per trade, at 70% — 8 percentage points clear of Alpha Capital Group's Alpha Pro 10%, the next best.
This is computed from the published rules, not chosen. Whichever programme wins that calculation appears here, including firms we earn nothing from, and it changes when the rules do. It says nothing about the fee, the profit split, and a daily-limit rule the firm does not publish.
Questions
- What is the difference between Alpha Capital Alpha One and Alpha Pro?
- Shape, not softness. Alpha One is single-phase with a trailing end-of-day drawdown and one minimum trading day; Alpha Pro is two-phase with a static drawdown and three. Each family is sold in variants named after the profit target, so "Alpha One 12%" and "Alpha Pro 6%" both come to 12% of profit in total — the first in one go, the second across two phases of 6%.
- Which Alpha Capital programme is easiest to pass?
- Of the 8 we have read, Alpha One 12%, at roughly 70% at 1% risk per trade against 98% for Alpha Pro 6% — a spread of 28 points inside one firm. It wins on having the largest caps rather than the smallest target: 5% daily and 8% overall let 5 consecutive losses through where Alpha Pro 6% allows 3.
- Is a trailing drawdown not worse than a static one?
- Usually, and here it is not, which is the point. Alpha One trails at the end of each day and Alpha Pro is static, so on that field alone Alpha Pro looks safer. The comparison never gets that far: Alpha One is single-phase, so it asks its profit once rather than twice, and its caps are set against that single target. The drawdown type decides how much room banked profit buys you; the caps decide whether you survive to bank any.
- Why does this page keep saying the daily-limit rule is missing?
- Because it is, on all 8 of them, and it is the field that moves outcomes further than any other. Elsewhere in this data two programmes publishing identical numbers land more than fifty points apart on it alone. Every figure on this page therefore takes the conservative reading — that breaching the daily limit ends the attempt — and it is our reading rather than Alpha Capital's. If the firm pauses instead, these programmes are considerably easier than shown, and only the firm can tell you which.
