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 Forexive:
Forexive Ltd (Company No. 15746920) was founded on 30 September 2024 and is registered in the United Kingdom, led by CEO Hooman Abbasi. The firm operates from Czech Republic and is active in 180+ countries with a team of 100+. Forexive offers two evaluation tracks (1-Step and 2-Step) with a top split reaching 95% and a maximum initial account of $250,000, scaling to $2,000,000. All accounts run on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. Instruments are currently limited to Forex only.
As a September 2024 launch, Forexive has a very limited public operating history. TheTrustedProp’s verification score of 60/100 (Average) reflects this early-stage status. The firm offers swap-free accounts, copy trading, and EA support as standard, with a commission of $3 per round lot.
1-Step Challenge ($65-$1,099 for $5K-$200K): Single phase, 10% profit target. Daily loss: 3% (equity-based static). Max drawdown: 6% (equity-based static). Leverage: 1:50 standard, 1:30 swing. Minimum 3 profitable trading days. Profit split: 80-95%. Unlimited time. No consistency rule published. Best for traders who prefer a single-phase evaluation with moderate drawdown parameters.
2-Step Challenge ($49-$999 for $5K-$200K): Phase 1: 10% target. Phase 2: 5% target. Daily loss: 5% (equity-based static). Max drawdown: 12% (equity-based static — one of the widest buffers in the 2-Step category). Leverage: 1:100 standard, 1:30 swing. Minimum 3 profitable trading days. Profit split: 80-95%. Unlimited time. The 12% max drawdown gives traders significant room to manage normal drawdown cycles across both evaluation phases.
Platforms: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5. Instruments: Forex only. Spreads from 0.0 pips. Match Trader and cTrader are listed as coming soon — the platform roadmap suggests expansion is planned but not yet available. Leverage up to 1:100 (2-Step) and 1:50 (1-Step).
Forexive earns a 6.0 BestProp score. The 2-Step 12% maximum drawdown is genuinely competitive — matching FundsCap’s industry-leading buffer at comparable fees. The 95% maximum profit split is among the highest published by any prop firm. EAs, copy trading, and swap-free accounts are all standard. Multiple crypto and bank payout methods add withdrawal flexibility.
The primary concerns: Forexive launched in September 2024 and has less than a year of operation at publication. TheTrustedProp’s 60/100 verification score is average and reflects the limited track record. Instruments are restricted to Forex only — no metals, indices, or crypto — which eliminates the firm for multi-asset traders. The $3/lot commission adds ongoing cost for active traders. Platforms beyond MT4/MT5 are still listed as coming soon. The customer rating of 4.1/5 is modest compared to established competitors. The combination of very young age, Forex-only instruments, and average trust score makes Forexive a monitored watch rather than a confident first-choice recommendation at this stage.
