Established Prop Firm with Strong Infrastructure but Increasing Rule Complexity
Alpha Capital Group is an established UK-based proprietary trading firm founded in 2021. It offers Alpha One, Alpha Pro, Alpha Three, Alpha Swing and Alpha Direct programmes, with maximum combined allocation of $400,000. The firm has a strong operating history and a large Trustpilot review base, but its current rule structure has become considerably more complex. Traders should pay particular attention to the 2-minute average trade duration requirement, Focused Trader Group restrictions, cooling-off rules and the difference between evaluation and Qualified Analyst conditions.
