Notes, changes, open questions

Loss floor

Worked example. Static 6% of USD 100,000 is $6,000. The floor is $94,000.

Daily reset

Daily loss is 3% of the higher end-of-day balance or equity. The initial example is $3,000. It is not a fixed $3,000 after the balance moves.

News

The Pro 6% article prohibits opening, closing, or otherwise executing an affected instrument within 5 minutes before or after a major release.

Phase-specific exceptions are n/a. None are assumed on this page.

Rules

Programme
Alpha Pro 6%, the explicit USD 100,000 variant. Bi-weekly and on-demand are separate payout selections. They are not stacked.
Targets
6% then 6%. Three minimum days in each phase. Maximum 40 lots at USD 100,000.
Maximum loss
Static 6% / $6,000.
Daily loss
3% of the higher end-of-day balance or equity. Initial example $3,000.
Weekend
Allowed in evaluation. Not allowed on the qualified account for this variant.
Bi-weekly consistency
n/a. Explicit absence was not verified. Do not copy the on-demand 40% rule across.
On-demand consistency
Best day at most 40%, resetting after each payout.

Watch-outs

  • Choosing on-demand adds a 40% best-day test and a 2% gross-profit threshold. Choosing bi-weekly does not publish that 40% test. Quoting one path's payout speed with the other path's rules is wrong.
  • The qualified account cannot hold the weekend on this variant, even though the evaluation can. A Friday position that was legal in the evaluation can be the problem after you pass.
  • Bi-weekly also refuses tiny-lot days used to pad the day count. The first payout needs five real trading days, and the minimum is $100 gross.
  • South Africa is named on the checkout-country article. That is stronger than 'not on a ban list', and it is still not a guarantee the application will be accepted.

Changes

Check note Page date, not a measured change. Recent change: n/a. The Pro 6% page is dated 22 July 2026. That date is not a rule-change delta.

Still open

  • Phase-specific news exceptions.
  • Whether the bi-weekly path explicitly has no consistency rule.
