Scaling Plan

Alpha Capital Group offers a Scaling Plan on eligible Alpha Plans (Alpha Pro, Alpha Swing and Alpha Three). Traders who achieve a 10% virtual capital growth on their qualified account can request a scale up.

The scale amount is 10% of the initial account balance, and scaling is available up to a cumulative total of $2,000,000 across all scaled accounts.

Scaling requests are made at the withdrawal stage (profits withdrawn and the account reset to its initial balance) via the Performance Fee Request notes and by emailing support. New scaled accounts require a minimum of 5 trading days before the first performance fee is applicable.

Maximum Daily Loss

Alpha Capital Group enforces a plan-specific daily drawdown limit that is measured from defined daily reference points (based on balance or equity, depending on the plan). The daily loss limit is evaluated against the current equity value, and breaches are treated as a hard breach (trades are closed automatically).

• Alpha Pro 10%: 5% balance-based daily drawdown.
• Alpha Pro 8%: 4% balance-based daily drawdown.
• Alpha Pro 6%: 3% daily drawdown calculated over the higher of end-of-day balance or equity.
• Alpha Swing: 5% balance-based daily drawdown.
• Alpha One: 4% daily drawdown calculated over the higher of end-of-day balance or equity.
• Alpha Three: 4% daily drawdown calculated over the higher of end-of-day balance or equity.

Maximum Overall Loss

Maximum total loss is defined by the plan’s maximum drawdown model and is set as a percentage of the initial starting balance. If balance or equity drops below the maximum drawdown threshold, the account is breached and trades are closed automatically.

• Alpha Pro: static max drawdown of 10% (Pro10) / 8% (Pro8) / 6% (Pro6).
• Alpha Swing: 10% static max drawdown.
• Alpha Three: 6% static max drawdown.
• Alpha One: 6% trailing max drawdown based on the high-water mark (maximum balance achieved).

Drawdown Model

Alpha Capital Group uses both static and trailing drawdown models depending on the plan:

• Static max drawdown: Used on Alpha Pro (6% / 8% / 10%), Alpha Swing (10%) and Alpha Three (6%). The maximum-loss line is fixed from the initial starting balance and does not move up as the account grows.
• Trailing max drawdown (high-water mark): Used on Alpha One (6%). As new balance highs are made, the trailing drawdown line moves up; once the account reaches a high-water mark equal to the trailing drawdown distance (e.g., +6% on Alpha One), the trailing drawdown becomes fixed at the initial balance.

Daily drawdown calculations also vary by plan: Pro8/Pro10 and Swing use balance-based daily limits, while Pro6, One and Three calculate daily drawdown over the higher of end-of-day balance or equity.

Commissions

Alpha Capital Group offers both Standard (no-commission) and RAW commission models. Standard accounts do not charge commission across asset classes.

RAW accounts charge $2.50 per lot per side (about $5 per round turn) for each transaction, with indices remaining commission-free on both account types.

News trading is permitted, but Alpha Capital applies plan-specific rules around certain high-impact announcements on Qualified Analyst accounts.

• Alpha Pro 8%/10% Qualified: no executing trades (opening or closing, including pending orders, stop-loss or take-profit fills) on targeted instruments within 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after the specified news releases.
• Alpha Pro 6% / Alpha One / Alpha Three Qualified: the same restriction applies within 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the specified releases.
• Alpha Swing: trading during major news is allowed; however, if a trade is initiated within 2 minutes before or up to 2 minutes after a release, its duration must exceed 2 minutes for the trade to be valid.

If a stop gain / take-profit is filled during the restricted window, it is treated as a violation and profits from that activity are not eligible for a performance fee.
