We have a strict policy against trading strategies that are deemed "all or nothing" and do not accept strategies dependent on this style of trading. Alpha Capital Group is dedicated to identifying unique and successful traders who can effectively manage risk, generate profits, and maintain consistency in the financial markets. These are the traders we partner with and provide qualified trader accounts of up to $200,000.
We do not tolerate trades which are deemed to be all or nothing, nor do we accept a strategy which is dependent on this style of trading.
Specific examples on what we define as gambling can be shown below:
A change in lot size in comparison to the overall average on the account, may raise concerns if there is a noticeable pattern during specific news events. Such adjustments can be considered indicative of gambling behaviour.
Unusual activity during the challenge phase such as a significant deviation from typical trade durations can further highlight this behaviour. If, for example, the average trade duration on an account is consistently 2, 4, or 6 hours, but a trader holds a position for a significantly shorter time during a news event, this could be seen as an attempt to capitalize on news volatility.
Increasing risk during these specific events is a clear indicator of an effort to circumvent the news rule. Such actions typically involve either increasing the lot size or maintaining the same size but with a bigger stoploss than usual.
We believe any trades determined to be gambling as not a reflection of a trader who can manage risk, make profits and remain consistent in the markets. Activity of this nature will result in termination of contract & removal of your Qualified Trader Account.
