Today
Alpha Futures Zero $50KBefore each trade
Alpha Futures Zero $50KYour real capital is $2,000, not $50,000: 10 losing trades in a row end your day, 20 end the account. Size every trade so a normal losing streak cannot reach those limits, and stop for the day before the firm stops you.
The loss side
your edge: +0.13R · $13 a trade on averageYour own limits stop you first: after 2 losses in a row, or 5 losses ($500).
End of day: the floor rises with your best closing balance, so after a run of winning days it takes fewer.
Over a typical run of 180 trades at a 55% loss rate, a losing streak of 7 or more happens in 72% of runs and one of 11 or more in 10%. The account ends at 20 losses in a row.
| Losses in a row | All lose next | In a day | In 100 trades | In a typical run |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 · Your stopends the day by your choice | 30% | 44% | 100% | 100% |

| 20 · Max drawdownthe account is lost | 1 in 155,864 | — | 1 in 4,213 | 1 in 2,136 |
“All lose next” is the chance that the coming trades are all losers. The other three columns are the chance that such a streak happens at least once: in a day of 3 trades, in 100 trades, and in a typical run of 180 trades (the simulation's median), the streak that ends accounts. All are exact, from your win rate.

Consistency
10,000 simulated challenges with your numbers
same seed every timeAssumes a fixed stop (−$100) and target (+$150), independent trades at a 45% win rate, the same size every trade, $0 of costs a trade, no slippage; Alpha Futures' rules as published, checked Sep 27, 2026.
What this does not model
Variable R (stops and targets that move) · partial exits · news gaps · slippage · correlated trades · the firm's discretion · taxes.
The same strategy copied onto several accounts shares one outcome: they pass or fail together, so the odds above do not improve. Trading opposite sides across accounts to push one through (“hedged passing”) is prohibited by the firms that state a rule on it, and this planner never suggests it.
These figures treat each account as its own attempt, the best case, with the chance of one attempt from the simulation above. Each account is bought once: resets are not counted. A monthly plan bills again each month: these figures count the first month of each account.
Left out of this run: the time limit (not published: no deadline is applied). Other rules (news trading, time limits, a minimum profit for a day to count, scaling) are not simulated: read the firm's own page.

Cost to get funded
price, resets, fee after passing1.3 attempts on average: $125 for the first, $119 for each of the others
Nine times in ten one of these 2 attempts passes: $125 for the first, then $119 each time
A reset costs $119: each attempt after the first is counted at that price. a monthly plan bills again each month: this counts the first

The same trades, sized four ways. Half size when the floor gets close is the most common advice: it trades a little speed for fewer lost accounts. The best figure of each column is in accent.

The drawdown floor
end of day, locks at the starting balanceIt follows your end-of-day best balance, $2,000 below it, until it reaches the starting balance.
About 54 days at your average day ($38). Until then, a losing run after a good day costs twice: trade half size until it locks (“Build a buffer first” above).
Rushing against your plan
the same win rate and reward| Measure | Your plan | Rushing |
|---|---|---|
| Risk per trade | 5.0% of the drawdown · $100 | 100% of the drawdown · $2,000 |
| Your limits | on | none |
| Reached | 75.8% | 44.6% |
| Daily limit hit | 0.0% | 55.4% |
| Account lost | 10.8% | 0.0% |
| Expected cost to get funded | $163 · 1.3 accounts bought per pass | $273 · about 1 pass in 2 accounts |
Rushing sizes each trade so an average day makes the first target in one session ($3,000 in 3 trades, capped here at your whole drawdown: one loss ends the account). This account needs 1 trading days anyway. Same win rate, same reward: only the size and the limits change.
Kelly and the risk of ruin
what the formulas sayKelly = win rate − loss rate ÷ reward = 0.45 − 0.55 ÷ 1.5 = 8.3% a trade, applied here to your real capital, the $2,000 drawdown. Full Kelly grows fastest with deep swings on the way; most traders use a quarter to a half of it. You are at 0.6 Kelly: above half, losing runs get long.
The chance a losing run eats the whole drawdown (20 losses of room) if you traded these numbers without end, on one account.
The real figure for this account: its daily limit and its targets included.
Risk of ruin ≈ e^(−r × U), where U is the losses of room (the drawdown ÷ the risk of one trade) and r solves p · e^(−r × reward) + q · e^(r) = 1 (p the win rate, q the loss rate). Kelly and ruin assume trades of the same size, one after another.

Each run trades your numbers under the account's rules: its daily loss limit, its max drawdown (static, trailing, end of day or locking at the starting balance as the firm states it), its targets, its minimum days and its consistency rule, and under your own limits. A rule the firm does not publish is left out and named. Rules of the accounts are data of Oct 5, 2026. A calculation, not a promise. Check your own days in the consistency calculator
Alpha Futures risk questions, answered from its rules
How much should I risk per trade on Alpha Futures' $100K account?
Risk a share of the $3,000 max drawdown, not of the $100K: that $3,000 is what the Alpha Futures Standard $100K can lose before it ends, so it is your real capital. At 5% of it a trade risks $150 (0.15% of the account); 2.5% is $75 and 10% is $300. With a 45% win rate and rewards of 1.5R, 60% of 10,000 simulated runs reach the target and 11% lose the account. A calculation, not a promise.
How many losing trades in a row end the day or the account on Alpha Futures' $100K account?
Alpha Futures states no daily loss limit on this account, so only the max drawdown ends it: at 5% of the drawdown a trade ($150), 20 losses in a row reach the $3,000 max drawdown. End of day: the floor rises with your best closing balance, so after a run of winning days it takes fewer. Over a typical run of 249 trades at a 55% loss rate, a losing streak of 8 or more happens in 61% of runs and one of 11 or more in 14%; a streak of 20 has a 1 in 1,498 chance of happening in such a run.
Does Alpha Futures have a time limit or a consistency rule on the $100K account?
Alpha Futures does not publish a time limit for the Alpha Futures Standard $100K. To pass, the best day may make at most 50% of the profit. At least 2 trading days are required.
What does Alpha Futures' $100K account cost to get funded, with retries?
The Alpha Futures Standard $100K costs $215 (with code PFK, −10% · list $239). The firm states no fee after passing. At the opening plan (5% of the drawdown a trade, 45% wins, 1.5R), 60% of attempts reach the target: 1.7 accounts bought per pass. Counting each retry at $199 (retries at the $199 reset), the expected cost is $349, and $613 covers 3 attempts, enough to be funded nine times in ten. It is a monthly plan: it bills again each month, and these figures count the first month only.
