The Alpha One plan is Alpha Capital Group's 1 step evaluation.
Key Features:
• Profit Targets, Drawdown Limits, Minimum profitable days:
· Phase 1 profit target: 10%
· Max Drawdown (trailing per high water-mark*): 6%
· Max Daily Drawdown (trailing per highest end-of-day balance or equity, which one is greater): 4%
· Minimum trading days (Evaluation and Qualified stage): 1
*Definition of high water-mark: maximum account balance achieved on the account.
Example: The initial max drawdown of -6% for a $100,000 account is $94,000. As the max drawdown is trailing based on the high-water mark, if the account reaches $102,000, the new max drawdown will be set at $96,000. This process will continue until the account reaches a high-water mark equal to the trailing drawdown. In other words, once the balance reaches $106,000, the trailing drawdown will remain fixed at the initial balance of $100,000, and won't be moved further anymore.
• Leverage & Lot Exposure:
· The Alpha One plan offers a leverage of up to 1:30 across different asset classes, giving traders the power to manage larger positions relative to their account size:
FX: 1:30
Metals: 1:9
Indices: 1:10
Oil: 1:10
· Alongside leverage, the maximum lot exposure on One account is adjusted based on account size as follows:
$5k = Max 2.5 lots
$10k = Max 5 lots
$25k = Max 10 lots
$50k = Max 20 lots
$100k = Max 40 lots
$200k = Max 80 lots
$300k = Max 120 lots
Please note, the max lot exposure will depend on your leverage requirements and available margin.
