The verdict
A large multi-asset firm that added crypto rather than starting there. Fine execution and a fair price, but the rule set still reads like it was written for a forex desk.
What works
- Five years operating and a substantial trader base
- cTrader gives proper depth-of-market and API access
- Allocation to $400,000 with a 90% top split
- Competitive $249 entry for a $100K account
What does not
- Crypto is a secondary product for this firm
- Weekend holding restrictions carried over from forex rules
- Consistency rule can delay a first payout
- Support response times lag the smaller specialists
How the evaluation works
A conventional two-phase evaluation from a large multi-asset firm. Crypto sits alongside forex and indices rather than being the main event.
The rules that matter
Weekend holding restrictions and a consistency rule are carried over from the firm's forex product. In a market that trades continuously, a weekend restriction is an odd artefact — read the current terms rather than assuming it has been dropped.
If any of that terminology is unfamiliar, our guide to the rules that fail most traders covers trailing drawdown, consistency ratios and weekend clauses in detail.
Payouts and profit split
80% rising to 90%, five days to payout, allocation to $400,000. Solid rather than distinctive.
For how Alpha Capital Group compares against the rest of the table on money out rather than money advertised, see which crypto prop firm pays out the most.
Platform and execution
cTrader, which offers proper depth-of-market and open API access — genuinely useful if you run automated strategies.
What you actually pay
$249 for $100,000, $89 at entry. Fair for the size and stability of the operator.
Who it suits
Algorithmic traders who want cTrader's API and are comfortable with a rule set written primarily for forex.

What we still need to verify
Open items on this review
Every figure above is taken from Alpha Capital Group's published terms, not from a completed payout test of our own. Advertised windows and delivered windows are not the same thing, and in this industry the gap is where the trouble lives.
This review is upgraded to a tested review once a full withdrawal cycle is logged. Until then, treat the payout figure as the firm's claim rather than our finding, and read how we test for what that upgrade involves.

Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this page are affiliate links: if you buy a challenge after clicking one, we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra and it does not move a firm up or down our table — scores come from a fixed published formula applied before any commercial conversation. Full disclosure.
Risk warning
Trading leveraged crypto derivatives carries a high risk of loss. Challenge fees are generally non-refundable and most participants never reach a payout. Nothing on this site is financial advice, and we are not a licensed adviser, broker or prop firm.
