Our verdict

Alpha Capital Group suits traders who want funded status without long evaluation phases, and traders who can work inside a daily loss cap. With a challenge price of $27 and a 1 step format, the drawdown rule deserves a close read.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The funded split of 80% to 90% keeps the larger share of the account's profit with the trader, and payouts are Bi-weekly or on-demand so the money is not stuck on a long wait.
  • A 1 step evaluation means a single paid phase sits between you and the funded account, so an unsuccessful attempt stays cheap.
  • Account sizes run $5,000 to $200,000 simulated, so a trader can pick the scale of account that matches their own risk appetite.
  • A maximum drawdown of 4% to 10% paired with a daily loss limit of 3% to 5% gives clear, fixed boundaries to size positions against.

Cons

  • The split of 80% to 90% leaves part of the profit with the firm, where Apex Trader Funding shares 100%.
  • The daily loss limit of 3% to 5% can end a session before the total drawdown allowance of 4% to 10% has been used, so sizing to the overall figure alone is a mistake.
  • Support runs on email, chat and help centre, with no phone line among them, which leaves fewer routes when a payout needs chasing.
  • The 1 step format leaves no staged phases for a trader who wants to build a record over a longer run before taking risk.

Who it suits

  • Traders who want to reach a funded account quickly and can hold a daily loss cap.
  • Traders comparing against Funding Pips, whose challenge prices run $29 to $555, and want the cheaper entry.
  • Traders who split profits high and are happy to be paid Bi-weekly or on-demand.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Apex Trader Funding, for anyone who wants to keep the whole profit rather than a 80% to 90% share.
  • Funding Pips, for traders who want a wider spread of challenge prices at $29 to $555 rather than the single $27 charged here.

Profit split and payouts

Profit share and payment timing are the two numbers that decide what a funded month is worth at Alpha Capital Group. The split runs 80% to 90%, which keeps the larger share of the account's profit with the trader and the rest with the firm. That sits at the median of 90% across tracked prop firms, so it is a competitive figure rather than an unusual one. Firms that pass on more exist: Apex Trader Funding shares 100%, which is the comparison to make if the share matters more to you than what the entry costs. Timing is flexible by design here. Payouts are Bi-weekly or on-demand, so you can wait on the firm's regular rhythm or ask for funds as soon as a cycle is cleared. That flexibility changes how useful the split is in practice. A trader who withdraws on a routine turns the share into income, while a trader who lets the balance sit lets it grow. Neither route changes the percentage, so the share you plan around should be the share that lands. For anyone modelling what a funded account costs to run, the practical read is that the split applies every cycle you trade, not just at the start. A trader planning a long funded stretch is choosing between a higher share elsewhere and the ability to ask for a payout on demand. Read the two figures together rather than treating the split as the whole return.

Challenge price and rules

The entry charge is the number that sets this brand apart from the ones next to it. The challenge price is $27, against challenge prices of $29 to $555 at Funding Pips and $29 to $549 at City Traders Imperium, both of which run to much higher ceilings. The median across tracked prop firms is €56.56, so this sits in the lower part of the range and keeps a failed attempt inexpensive. The route itself is short. The evaluation is 1 step, which removes the staged phases some traders use to build a record before taking a funded account. Fewer phases also means fewer paid attempts, and the account you can be funded on runs $5,000 to $200,000 simulated once you pass. The rules that decide whether the account survives deserve a second read. The maximum drawdown is 4% to 10%, and the daily loss limit is 3% to 5%. Because the daily cap is the tighter of the two, a session can be stopped before the overall drawdown allowance is spent, so position sizing has to respect the daily figure and not only the total one. A trader who sizes to the overall allowance will meet the daily cap first, which is the most common way a strong day ends badly. Entry charge, drawdown and daily cap are the practical cost of the route here. Keep the entry fee small, choose an account size that matches your own sizing, and the 1 step format works as one clean pass rather than a chain of retries.

The company behind it

Alpha Capital Group is the trading brand, and Alpha Capital Group Limited is the legal entity named in the terms, which is the counterparty you are contracting with. The firm is headquartered in the United Kingdom and was founded in 2021, so the operation is a young one rather than a long-established desk. For a retail trader in the UK or Europe, the details worth reading closely are the entity name, the jurisdiction and the payment route, all in the same document. Regulation varies across this category, so the licence line in any firm's terms deserves a proper read before money moves. Across the prop firms in this ranking, 4 carry a licence entry out of 30, which tells you where to look in the terms rather than what to assume about any one brand. Support is the operational side. Contact runs through email, chat and help centre, so a question about a breached rule or a payout cycle can go to email or chat, with a help centre and a community for everything that can be answered in writing. That is enough for the day to day questions a funded trader generates, and the account mechanics matter more to most traders than how fast a reply arrives.

How Alpha Capital Group compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Alpha Capital Group challenge cost?+

The challenge price is $27. The median challenge price across tracked prop firms is €56.56, so this sits in the lower part of the market. For comparison, challenge prices at Funding Pips run $29 to $555, which reaches much further at the higher end of that range.

What profit split do traders keep with Alpha Capital Group?+

The profit split is 80% to 90%, which keeps the larger share of the account's profit with the trader and the rest with the firm. The median split across tracked firms is 90%. Apex Trader Funding shares 100%, so weigh that if the share matters more to you than the entry cost.

How often can traders withdraw profits?+

Payouts are Bi-weekly or on-demand, so a trader can either wait on the firm's regular cycle or ask for funds as soon as the account rules are met. The share that determines the amount is the 80% to 90% split, and it applies every cycle you trade rather than only at the payout itself.

How many evaluation steps does the challenge have?+

The evaluation is 1 step, so a trader moves from the paid challenge to the funded account in a single pass rather than a chain of phases. That also keeps the cost of an unsuccessful attempt contained, since there is no later stage to fund as well. Funded account sizes run $5,000 to $200,000 simulated.

What account sizes can I trade once funded?+

Funded account sizes run $5,000 to $200,000 simulated. The size you target sets the scale of the prize and the scale of the loss when the rules are missed, which is capped at 4% to 10%. The daily loss limit of 3% to 5% then applies inside that overall cap, so size both together.

Who runs Alpha Capital Group and where is it based?+

The terms name Alpha Capital Group Limited as the legal entity behind the brand. The firm is headquartered in the United Kingdom and was founded in 2021, which makes it a relatively young operation. Across the prop firms in this ranking, 4 carry a licence entry out of 30, so the entity and jurisdiction lines in the terms are the details worth reading.

How do I get help at Alpha Capital Group?+

Support runs through email, chat and help centre. That means email and chat for direct questions, with a help centre and a community for anything answered in writing. There is no phone line in that list, so a payout query needing a same day answer has fewer routes to escalate.

Who does Alpha Capital Group suit?+

It suits traders who want a short evaluation and a small entry charge, since the challenge price is $27 on a 1 step model. It suits less well anyone who wants the whole profit, because the split is 80% to 90%, or who sizes positions against the full drawdown of 4% to 10% rather than the daily limit of 3% to 5%.
