Here is our full independent review of Alpha Capital Group:
Alpha Capital Group is a UK-based prop firm founded in November 2021 by George Kohler and Andrew Blaylock. With 1.2 million+ traders across 140+ countries and $100M+ in performance fees paid out, it is one of the largest prop firms by trader count outside of FTMO. The firm offers four evaluation paths — Alpha One, Alpha Pro, Alpha Swing, and Alpha Three — each with distinct drawdown structures and profit target sequences, giving traders more genuine program diversity than most competitors.
The firm’s broker arm, ACG Markets, is licensed in Seychelles, providing the regulated infrastructure behind the simulated trading environment. Note: Alpha Capital Group does not accept US residents or citizens.
Alpha Capital Group suits non-US forex and multi-asset traders who want to choose between trailing and static drawdown structures based on their strategy. The Alpha One trailing drawdown — which locks permanently at the starting balance once you are 6% in profit — is one of the most trader-friendly trailing drawdown structures in the industry: the trailing period ends once you clear the threshold, removing the risk of giving back gains indefinitely.
The three Alpha Pro variants (6%, 8%, 10% targets) also give traders genuine control over the difficulty/cost trade-off, rather than a single fixed evaluation path.
Alpha Capital Group offers four evaluation paths:
Three platforms supported: MT5, cTrader, and DXtrade — covering the full range of preferences from legacy MetaTrader users to modern platform traders. Instruments include forex pairs, metals, indices, and commodities. Spreads from 0 pips with zero commission.
Alpha Capital Group earns an 8.0 BestProp score. The 1.2M+ trader base and $100M+ in payouts establish it as one of the most proven mid-tier prop firms available. The program diversity — four evaluation paths with three Pro variants — is genuinely useful rather than marketing noise, and the Alpha One trailing drawdown lock is one of the most intelligent trailing structures we have seen.
The 80% maximum split (no path to 90%+) and the Best Day Rule on on-demand withdrawals are the main limitations. For non-US traders who want program flexibility and a proven track record at competitive fees, Alpha Capital Group is a strong choice.
Here is our full independent review of FunderPro Futures:
FunderPro Futures is operated by FunderPro Ltd (company number C 104558), registered in Malta and headquartered at Cali House, Level 3, San Gwann, SGN 9020, Malta. CEO Gary Mullen founded the firm in January 2023. FunderPro Futures is a futures-only evaluation platform focused on US futures contracts (primarily ES and MES), using a monthly subscription model rather than one-time challenge fees.
Critical trust notice: In January 2026, Trustpilot placed a consumer warning label on FunderPro’s profile after detecting two conflicting patterns simultaneously: a wave of 1-star reviews from unverifiable accounts, and a surge of unsolicited 5-star reviews exhibiting bot-like characteristics. The firm’s overall score sits at approximately 3.9/5 from 1,500+ reviews, with roughly 30% being 1-star. The 1-star count has climbed steadily since late 2025, with many reviews describing the same complaint: payout denied citing IP address overlap or lot-size inconsistency. BestProp strongly recommends independent research before purchasing any FunderPro Futures account.
FunderPro Futures charges a recurring monthly fee rather than a one-time challenge payment. Three account sizes are available, all with a free activation (no activation fee):
Monthly fees continue until the trader passes to funded status. Factor in that a multi-month evaluation path multiplies the total cost significantly.
Daily Pause (not a daily stop): When daily losses reach 2% of account size ($1,000 on $50K), all positions close automatically and trading is suspended until 16:05 CT the following trading day. This is a pause, not an account termination – the challenge continues the next day. This is meaningfully more forgiving than traditional daily drawdown rules that can end accounts permanently.
Maximum Drawdown (EOD trailing): The drawdown threshold trails based on end-of-day balance until it reaches the starting account balance. At that point it locks permanently at the starting balance. In practice: as long as you are net negative from start, the drawdown limit floats below you. Once you reach net profitability, the floor locks at the starting balance and your downside risk is capped to your original capital – you can never owe back more than what you started with.
Consistency Rule: Daily profit cannot exceed 40% of the total profit target during evaluation, or 50% during the funded phase. Excess daily profit is deferred to the following day’s target. This prevents one-day outliers from passing the challenge and encourages disciplined multi-day trading.
FunderPro Futures supports standard futures trading platforms (specific names not published on the main site – confirm with support before purchasing). Instruments: US futures contracts including ES (S&P 500 e-mini), MES (Micro ES), and other CME-listed products. Maximum allocation: $200,000 across funded accounts.
FunderPro Futures earns a 5.8 BestProp score. The Daily Pause mechanism (suspend for the day rather than terminate the account) and the EOD trailing drawdown that locks at starting balance are genuinely trader-friendly structural innovations. Unlimited resets and 5 simultaneous funded accounts add flexibility. The Malta registration is a solid EU jurisdiction.
The Trustpilot consumer warning label is a serious concern that BestProp cannot overlook. Combined with a 30% 1-star rate, a climbing negative review count, and recurring payout denial complaints, the independent trust signals are weak. The monthly subscription model means a slow evaluation multiplies cost significantly. The 10.14% pass rate is below-average. BestProp recommends approaching FunderPro Futures with caution and verifying current payout practices through third-party communities before purchasing.
