Alpha Capital Group rules

Drawdown
Alpha One applies a trailing drawdown of 6% measured from the high-water mark, and it locks at the starting balance once you are up 6%. Static drawdown applies to Alpha Pro and Alpha Swing (6% to 10%), while Alpha Direct has a 5% trailing drawdown.
Consistency requirement
Payouts on demand depend on a best-day rule of 40% (15% on Alpha Direct) and a minimum profit requirement. Bi-weekly schedules don't have to follow the best-day rule.
Trading news
News trading is allowed on Alpha Pro, but affected instruments can't have trades opened or closed from 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after a release. Alpha Swing follows a duration rule, while Alpha Direct applies the 5-minute window.
HFT and scalping
Trades must average more than 2 minutes, and 50% or more of your profit must come from positions kept open past 2 minutes.
Automated bots and EAs
Alpha Direct doesn't allow Expert Advisors. Expert Advisors are supported on MetaTrader 5, according to the site, and checkout includes an EA Use option.
Account limits
The maximum combined allocation for all Alpha Capital accounts is $400,000.
Holding overnight and over the weekend
You can hold positions overnight, but a swap is charged. During evaluation phases, Alpha One, Swing and Pro all allow weekend holds, while the Pro Qualified Account and Alpha Direct do not.
Inactivity
If you place no trade for 30 consecutive days, your account will be deactivated.
