This Alpha Capital Group review examines a London-based prop firm that offers one-, two- and three-step evaluations from $5,000 to $200,000. Alpha Capital Group pays a flat 80% of simulated profits and lets traders pick between several drawdown levels and payout cycles. Our verdict: the product range is flexible and the company is properly registered in the UK, but the 80% ceiling, the lack of a fee refund and a recent Trustpilot guidelines breach mean it is not the first choice for every trader.

Challenge types and pricing
Alpha Pro is the main intraday product and comes in three drawdown tiers. The 10% version asks for 10% then 5%, with a 5% daily limit and a 10% static maximum loss; the 8% and 6% versions are tighter but cheaper or different in price. Alpha Swing uses 10% and 5% targets with a 10% static limit and allows funded positions to be held over the weekend. Alpha One is a single 10% target with a 4% daily limit and a 6% trailing drawdown. Alpha Three spreads the work over three phases of 8%, 4% and 4%.
| Account | Alpha One / Alpha Pro | Alpha Swing |
|---|---|---|
| $5K | $50 | $70 |
| $10K | $97 | $147 |
| $25K | $197 | $247 |
| $50K | $297 | $357 |
| $100K | $497 | $577 |

Alpha One and Pro prices come from the official homepage; Swing prices above $5K come from a 2026 third-party review. The fee is not refunded after passing, according to a third-party review. Most traders fail evaluations, so plan for the fee as a cost.
Trading rules
- Drawdown: static on Pro, Swing and Three; trailing on Alpha One.
- Minimum days: three per phase on multi-step plans, one on Alpha One.
- News: allowed during evaluations; restricted windows apply on funded accounts depending on plan.
- Weekend holding: allowed in evaluation; on funded accounts, allowed on Alpha One and Swing but not on Alpha Pro.
- Trade duration: trades must stay open at least two minutes, and at least half of profit must come from trades held longer than that.
- EAs: allowed on MT5 only after you submit the files for approval. HFT, latency arbitrage and group hedging are banned.
- Inactivity: 30 days without a trade suspends the account.
Profit split, payouts and scaling
Every plan pays 80%. Depending on the plan you choose bi-weekly or on-demand payouts; on-demand requires at least 2% profit, five trading days and a 40% consistency rule (no single day above 40% of total profit). Payouts go via Rise, Wise or bank transfer and usually take around two business days. Scaling up to $2M is available on Pro, Swing and Three, but not on Alpha One. The homepage itself shows several conflicting versions of some rules, so this Alpha Capital Group review recommends reading the rule book in your dashboard before you trade.
Platforms and instruments
Traders can choose MT5, cTrader or DXtrade, and some sources also list TradeLocker. The range covers about 40 instruments across forex, indices, metals and commodities, with no crypto or stocks reported. Leverage reaches 1:100 on forex, lower on other assets.
Company, trust and payout record
Alpha Capital Group Limited is a UK company founded by Andrew Blaylock and George Kohler, with a sister futures brand, Alpha Futures. A third-party payout tracker reported more than $48 million paid through one payment provider by late 2025. The main caution in this Alpha Capital Group review is reputational: in November 2026 Trustpilot showed the firm’s rating as unavailable due to a breach of its guidelines and said it had removed a number of fake reviews. In 2025 the firm told trade press that an earlier fake-review issue came from a disgruntled customer. We could not determine who posted the removed reviews. We found no reports of closure or a halt to payouts, but recent reviews include complaints.
Who Alpha Capital Group suits
- Traders who want to choose their own drawdown level.
- Swing traders using Alpha Swing.
- Traders who prefer a UK-registered company.
Those chasing 90% or higher splits or fee refunds should compare other firms.
Final verdict: Alpha Capital Group review
Alpha Capital Group offers a flexible menu of evaluations with mostly static drawdowns and a clear UK corporate identity. The fixed 80% split, no refund and the current Trustpilot flag weigh on the score. Read the rules for your plan carefully, start small and treat the fee as money you could lose.
