// our verdict

Is Alpha Futures worth it?

Verdict

A futures prop firm, not a forex/CFD one — the rules structure (EOD trailing drawdown, contract-based sizing) is fundamentally different. Don't assume FTMO-style rules apply here.

Pros

  • EOD (not intraday) trailing drawdown on many account types
  • Futures-specific instruments (ES, NQ, GC, etc.)

Cons

  • Not compatible with standard MT4/MT5 EAs built for forex prop firms
  • Newer entrant, fewer long-term reviews
