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 FXIFY Futures:
FXIFY Futures Limited is the futures-dedicated arm of the FXIFY brand, launched in January 2025 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Separate from the main FXIFY CFD platform, FXIFY Futures focuses exclusively on CME-listed contracts tradeable through NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and TradingView. Despite being one of the newer futures prop firms, it has already distributed $35M+ in verified payouts — a strong output for a platform less than 18 months old.
Free Level 1 market data is included on all plans, and instant credential issuance means traders can be in the market within minutes of purchase. The maximum simulated capital ceiling is $750,000.
FXIFY Futures is built for futures traders who want clean programme structures, multiple platform choices, and the credibility of a firm backed by the established FXIFY ecosystem. Three platforms — NinjaTrader 8, Tradovate, and TradingView — cover the main futures trading environments without forcing traders into proprietary software.
The drawdown rules are strict by futures standards: 3–4% max drawdown on EOD (end-of-day) basis. Traders who are used to the dollar-based drawdowns typical of US futures firms will find FXIFY Futures more demanding. The trade-off is a cleaner, percentage-based framework that is consistent across account sizes.
All plans: free Level 1 market data included. First payout available from day 14, processed within 24–48 hours. Scaling ceiling: $750,000 in simulated capital.
Three platforms: NinjaTrader 8, Tradovate, TradingView. Instruments: CME-listed futures contracts. EOD (end-of-day) drawdown calculation — the daily loss limit resets at end of trading day rather than being a live intraday trailing figure. No maximum on trading days.
Drawdown of 3–4% max is among the tightest in the futures prop space — traders who run high-variance intraday strategies should size conservatively on this platform.
FXIFY Futures earns a 7.3 BestProp score. The FXIFY brand backing, Dublin HQ, $35M+ paid out in under 18 months, and three strong futures platform options (including TradingView) are solid foundations. The Expert Plan’s 90% default split — upgradeable to 100% with zero activation fees — is competitive. Free Level 1 data and instant credential issuance remove common friction points.
The 3–4% EOD max drawdown is the most restrictive limit across all futures firms we have reviewed and will not suit high-variance trading styles. Account size range ($50K–$150K base) is limited compared to firms offering $25K entry points or $400K+ ceilings. For disciplined futures traders who can operate within tight drawdown parameters and want a credible EU-based firm, FXIFY Futures is a strong option.
