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:
FXIFY was founded in April 2023 by co-CEOs Peter Brown and David Bhidey. The firm operates under FXIFY Markets Ltd (licensed in Labuan, Malaysia, License No. MB/22/0097) with a UK entity (FXIFY Solutions Limited, Company No. 14451720) and four global offices. With 250,000+ active traders across 200 countries, $40M+ in verified payouts, and a Trustpilot score of 4.4/5 from 5,042 reviews, FXIFY has established itself firmly in the upper tier of the prop firm market in under two years.
The firm is broker-backed, meaning a regulated brokerage entity supports its operations – a meaningful credibility signal in an industry where many competitors are standalone, unregulated entities. A free trading course, monthly competitions with 12 winners receiving free accounts up to $400K, and an advanced proprietary dashboard round out a platform built for long-term trader retention.
FXIFY suits an unusually broad range of trading styles. Martingale and grid strategies are explicitly permitted – one of the very few prop firms to allow this. No stop loss is required. EAs are allowed. Weekend holding is permitted. The Lightning Challenge offers a $59 entry point with a simple 5% target, making it one of the most accessible paths to funding available. At the other end of the scale, the futures track offers up to $450,000 with a 100% profit split and funding within 3 days.
Customizable profit targets on the One, Two, and Three Phase programmes let traders dial in their preferred risk-reward structure at account creation.
All evaluation programmes: 100% fee refund on first payout. On-demand payouts from first funded trading day. $50 minimum withdrawal – the lowest minimum in our database.
Three platforms: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, DXTrade. Over 300 symbols: forex, metals, indices, crypto, stocks. Two pricing models: RAW spreads from 0.0 pips, or All-in (commission-free, wider spread). Leverage: 30:1 FX/gold, 10:1 indices, 5:1 oil, 2:1 stocks – customizable up to 50:1.
Permitted strategies: EAs, martingale, grid, hedging, weekend holding. No stop loss required. Both static and trailing drawdown options are available at account creation – traders choose their preferred drawdown type.
Performance Protect is an optional add-on available at checkout – a risk protection feature that provides additional coverage on funded accounts. Details available on the live site.
Restricted countries include USA, Russia, Belarus, Vietnam, Iran, and a further 30+ jurisdictions. Full list on the FXIFY website.
FXIFY runs monthly trading competitions open to all account holders. Each month, 12 winners receive free funded accounts up to $400,000 in value – a genuine ongoing incentive that no other firm in our database matches at this scale.
FXIFY earns an 8.5 BestProp score. The combination of $40M+ in payouts, 5,000+ Trustpilot reviews at 4.4/5, broker-backed operations, martingale/grid permissions, 100% fee refunds, a $50 minimum withdrawal, and monthly competitions delivering free $400K accounts makes this one of the most well-rounded platforms in the 2026 prop firm landscape. Six programme types including a futures track with 100% split, plus customizable drawdown types, cover most trader needs.
The USA restriction and the $50K ceiling on instant funding are the main limitations. For traders in eligible countries who want a credible, feature-rich platform with genuinely unusual strategy permissions, FXIFY is among the top choices available.
