Verdict
Alpha Capital Group is a UK forex prop firm registered in 2021, running eight programs that span a $27 two-phase challenge through to accounts funded at purchase. The rulebook is permissive — news, weekend and overnight holding allowed, four platforms — but the tradable universe stops at forex, indices and metals, and Trustpilot has suspended the rating over fake reviews.
Alpha Capital Group works for forex traders who want to pick their platform and drawdown type, with no time limit and no news ban. Look elsewhere if you trade crypto, need high leverage, or won't deal with a firm whose Trustpilot rating is suspended.

Pros
- Eight separate programs, from a one-phase 6% evaluation to accounts funded at purchase, with entry tickets starting at $27.
- Permissive rulebook: news trading, weekend holding and overnight positions are allowed across the whole range.
- Four platforms to choose from — MT5, cTrader, DXtrade and TradeLocker — where many competitors ship only one.
- Alpha Pro and Alpha Swing use a static drawdown, easier to manage than the trailing rule applied on Alpha One.
- Payouts bi-weekly or on demand, picked by the trader at checkout and paid through Rise or Wise.
Cons
- Trustpilot has suspended the rating for a platform rules breach, after removing fake reviews across 21,613 published reviews.
- No crypto at all: 29 forex pairs, 10 index and oil CFDs, gold and silver — a narrow universe.
- Consistency rule at payout: the best day must stay under 40% of total gains, and 15% on Alpha Direct.
- Leverage capped at 1:30 on Alpha One, Alpha Swing and Alpha Direct; 1:100 covers forex on Alpha Pro only.
- First payout timing is not published, and 23 countries are excluded, among them Russia, Ukraine and Vietnam.
