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 SuperFunded:
SuperFunded was founded in 2023 and is operated from Australia by CEO Ryu Takahashi. The firm partners with Eightcap, a regulated Australian broker, providing the brokerage infrastructure behind funded accounts. Two evaluation tracks are available – a 1-Step Turbo and a 2-Step Classic – across account sizes from $3,000 to $200,000, with maximum combined allocation of $600,000 across three simultaneous accounts (up to $1.5M via scaling per TPO data). No MetaTrader is supported; trading runs exclusively on modern platforms.
1-Step Turbo: A single evaluation phase with a 10% profit target. Max drawdown: 6% trailing (the drawdown threshold rises with the account equity high watermark). Daily drawdown: 4-5%. No minimum trading days. No time limit. Fees: $89 ($10K), $299 ($50K), $499 ($100K). Challenge fees refunded on first payout.
2-Step Classic ($33-$999 for $3K-$200K): Phase 1: 10% profit target. Phase 2: 5%. Max drawdown: 10% static (fixed from starting balance, never trails). Daily drawdown: 5%. Minimum 4 trading days per phase. No time limit. Profit split up to 90%. Challenge fees refunded on first payout.
The drawdown structure distinction is meaningful: the Turbo’s 6% trailing drawdown tightens as profits accumulate, while the Classic’s 10% static drawdown remains fixed regardless of how much the account grows. Consistent traders who grow the account quickly may find the Classic easier to hold despite its longer evaluation path.
TradeLocker, DXTrade, cTrader, Match-Trader. Four modern platforms, none of which are MetaTrader. Traders who require MT4/MT5 cannot use SuperFunded.
SuperFunded earns a 6.5 BestProp score. The Eightcap partnership with ASIC regulation gives the firm a credible brokerage foundation. Four modern platforms, news and weekend trading permitted, no minimum trading days on Turbo, and fee refund on first payout are genuine positives. The 2-Step Classic’s static 10% drawdown is generous by industry standards.
The main concerns: the Trustpilot review count is small (30+ reviews at 4.2-4.4/5) meaning the independent sample size is limited, the founding timeline has been reported inconsistently across sources (2023 vs 2024), no MetaTrader support rules out a significant portion of traders, and the maximum combined allocation of $600K is lower than many competitors. The 1-Step Turbo’s trailing drawdown is also more punishing than it first appears once a trader starts building equity. Start with the 2-Step Classic at a lower account size to verify the payout process.
