Overview
If you’ve been comparing prop firms, Alpha Capital Group has probably come up. It has been running since 2022 out of United Kingdom. The route to funding is a 2-Step evaluation, and you can scale to $250000 in funded capital. Here’s what we found testing it ourselves.
Getting funded runs through a 2-Step evaluation, with drawdown tracked on a Static basis — worth understanding before you start, since it decides how much room you really have on a bad day. You’ll be trading on MT5, cTrader, keeping up to 90% of what you make. The firm advertises Standard cycle payouts. The tabs above break each of these down — rules, platforms, and payout experience — with the fine print that actually matters.
✅ What We Like
- A 4.4-star rating that holds steady across multiple independent review aggregators — a solid trust signal at this size
- UK-based with clear, published company information
- Weekend holds and news trading both permitted
- Reasonable entry pricing starting at $99
❌ What Could Be Better
- Mid-pack on most individual metrics — nothing here clearly beats FTMO or FundedNext on a specific dimension
- A smaller funded trader base than the top three forex firms means a thinner sample of payout proof
- Only two platforms supported
Score Breakdown
Evaluation Rules
The drawdown here is static — your loss limit is fixed from the starting balance and never moves up as you profit. If you start a $100K account with a 10% max drawdown, the floor stays at $90K no matter how high your equity climbs. This is the most forgiving model for traders who bank profits early, because winning never shrinks your room for error.

Trading Platforms
MT4's successor — faster backtesting, more timeframes, depth-of-market, and native support for more asset classes. Most newer firms have standardised on it.
Known for clean charting and transparent level-II pricing. Favoured by scalpers for its execution detail. Rare among prop firms, so support here is a genuine differentiator.
A white-label platform many newer prop firms adopted after MetaTrader licensing tightened. Functional, web-based, though with a smaller tool ecosystem.

Payouts
Payout reliability matters more than any headline number — a generous split means nothing if withdrawals stall. Alpha Capital Group was processing withdrawals in Standard cycle when we last verified this review. If you've withdrawn from this firm recently and your experience differs, use the report link at the bottom of this review.
Our Honest Verdict
Nothing here screams red flag, and that's worth something on its own — consistent ratings, transparent UK registration, permissive rules. It just doesn't lead anywhere specific the way FTMO leads on history or FundedNext leads on profit split. A solid second or third firm to diversify into, not necessarily your first pick.
