Alpha Capital Group review 2027: a flat 80% split and clear rules from London

Alpha Capital Group launched in November 2021 and is based in London. It was founded by Andrew Blaylock and George Kohler. In a market where firms compete to advertise ever higher profit shares, Alpha Capital has kept things plain: one 80% split on every account, static drawdowns on most plans and a small set of evaluation types that differ in sensible ways. That consistency has made it one of the better-regarded UK firms. This review covers its programmes for 2027.

Alpha Pro

Alpha Pro is the two-step evaluation and comes in three versions named after their first-phase target and drawdown: 6%, 8% and 10%. In each, the maximum loss equals the target and is static, measured from the starting balance. Daily loss limits range from 3% to 5%. The second phase carries a lower target on the larger versions. A tighter version costs less. Leverage is up to 1:100, and there is a minimum of three trading days per phase.

Alpha Swing

Alpha Swing is a two-step account for traders who hold positions through news and over weekends. It has a 10% target and 10% static drawdown, with leverage reduced to 1:30. The news restrictions that apply to other funded accounts do not apply here.

Alpha One and Alpha Three

Alpha One is a single-phase evaluation with a 10% target, a 4% daily limit and a 6% maximum drawdown. The maximum trails the balance and locks once it reaches the starting level. It is the fastest route and the least forgiving. Alpha Three spreads the test over three phases with smaller targets and a lower price, aimed at traders who prefer a gentler pace.

Account sizes and prices

Accounts range from $5,000 to $200,000. Prices start at about $40 for the smallest Alpha Pro account and rise to several hundred dollars at the top. A free trial account lets new users test the conditions. There are no time limits.

Payouts

The split is 80% throughout. Depending on the plan, payouts are available bi-weekly or on demand. On-demand requests require at least 2% profit and are subject to a best-day rule, under which one day cannot make up more than 40% of the profit. The firm states that approved payouts are processed within two business days. Payment methods include bank transfer and third-party payout services.

Funded-stage rules

Some rules apply only after funding. These include restrictions on opening or closing trades in a short window around high-impact news on most plans, and a limit on risk per trade. Traders who pass the evaluation trading news freely are sometimes caught out. Read the funded rules before starting, not after passing.

Scaling

A trader who grows a qualifying account by 10% can request an increase in balance. The plan applies to Alpha Pro, Alpha Swing and Alpha Three, with a combined ceiling of $2 million.

Platforms

The firm has offered MetaTrader 5, cTrader, DXtrade and TradeLocker. Availability has varied over time and by country, so confirm the current list at checkout. Commissions are about $5 per lot on forex, with none on indices.

Related business

The same group operates Alpha Futures, a separate futures prop firm with its own rules and platform.

Things to consider

An 80% split is lower than the 90% or more that rivals advertise. In practice the difference is smaller than it looks, because higher shares elsewhere often require add-on fees or long scaling paths. Accounts are simulated, as at other firms.

Pros and cons

• Clarity: one split and mostly static drawdowns.
• Choice: one-, two- and three-step plans plus a swing account.
• Entry price: from about $40.
• Payout speed: processed within two business days.
• Split: fixed at 80%.
• Funded-only rules: news limits appear after passing.

Who is Alpha Capital Group for?

Alpha Capital suits traders who want predictable rules and a static drawdown, and swing traders who need to hold through events. Those chasing the highest possible split will look elsewhere.

Verdict

Alpha Capital Group is a steady, well-organised firm. For 2027 it is a sound choice for traders who value simplicity. Match the plan to your strategy, especially if you trade around news.
