Alpha Futures Standard plan: rules, prices and payout caps
The Standard plan is the middle one-step evaluation at Alpha Futures: it doubles the payout caps of the Zero plan and drops the Daily Loss Guard during the evaluation. In exchange it asks for a 50% consistency rule to pass. It comes in 50K, 100K and 150K.
2×
Double the payout cap of the Zero accounts. Standard allows up to $3,000, $4,000 or $5,000 per request depending on size, against $1,000 to $2,500 on Zero. It is the argument the firm itself leads with.

The plan
What the Alpha Futures Standard plan is
The Standard plan is a one-step evaluation in 50K, 100K and 150K. You hit the profit target without touching the Maximum Loss Limit, satisfy the 50% consistency rule and a 2 trading day minimum, and move to a qualified account with a 90% profit split.
Standard sits on the middle rung of the line-up: it costs more than the Zero plan and less than the Advanced plan. Its main argument is the payout cap, which doubles the Zero accounts, and the fact that it applies no Daily Loss Guard during the evaluation: you can have a bad day without the platform locking you out while you are still passing the test.
The price for that is consistency. Standard has the strictest rule to pass of the four plans: 50% in the evaluation, meaning no single day can contribute more than half of total profit. And the qualified account keeps the full control frame: Daily Loss Guard, a 40% consistency rule between payouts, and a contract Scaling Plan.
Rules
Standard plan rules by account size
These are the parameters Alpha Futures publishes for each Standard size. The Daily Loss Guard row changes by stage: it does not exist while you are in the evaluation and appears once the account becomes qualified.

There are no news trading restrictions during the evaluation. On the qualified account no orders may be executed within 2 minutes before or 2 minutes after a high-impact event. The account needs at least one trade every 10 trading days to avoid being archived for inactivity.
Rules
How the Standard plan drawdown works
Standard uses the same model as the rest of the firm: an EOD trailing Maximum Loss Limit. The limit is recalculated from your highest end-of-day balance, not from your intraday equity peak, and it only moves up; it never comes down.
On a Standard 50K the MLL starts at $48,000. You close the day at $51,000 and the MLL moves to $49,000. From then on, even if you give profit back, the floor stays at $49,000. Trailing stops once the MLL reaches the starting balance: on the 50K, when you close a day at $52,000 the limit locks at $50,000 and never moves again.
The profit target to MLL ratio on Standard is 1.5 to 1 across all three sizes: $3,000 of target against $2,000 of room on the 50K, $6,000 against $3,000 on the 100K and $9,000 against $4,500 on the 150K. That is a looser ratio than Advanced, which asks for more profit with less loss room.
There is no Daily Loss Guard during the evaluation, so the MLL is the only limit that can breach the account. If you want to compare this model with the intraday trailing other firms use, the static vs trailing vs EOD drawdown guide works through examples and the drawdown calculator lets you simulate it.
Rules
Standard plan consistency rule: 50% and 40%
Standard applies two different percentages depending on the stage, and this is where it pays most to run the numbers before buying.
In the evaluation the rule is 50%: the profit from a single trading day cannot be larger than 50% of accumulated net profit. Alpha Futures publishes the recommended largest day for each size: $1,500 or less on the 50K, $3,000 or less on the 100K and $4,500 or less on the 150K. Until the rule is satisfied the evaluation does not pass, even if you already cleared the profit target.
In the qualified account the rule drops to 40% and changes reference: no single day can account for 40% or more of the net profit accumulated since your last withdrawal request. It does not breach the account; it only locks the payout button until you keep trading and your best day falls back under the threshold. The counter resets with every payout.
The consistency rule calculator gives you the total profit you need to accumulate from your best day, both for the 50% evaluation rule and the 40% qualified rule. If you would rather avoid this kind of rule altogether, our list of prop firms with no consistency rule collects the alternatives.
Payouts
Standard plan payouts
To request a payout on a Standard qualified account you need 5 winning days of $200 or more and you must satisfy the 40% consistency rule. There is no fixed payment calendar: the request unlocks when both conditions are met.
You can withdraw up to 50% of your profit per request, with a $500 minimum and a cap of $3,000 on the 50K, $4,000 on the 100K and $5,000 on the 150K. Up to 4 requests per month are allowed and Alpha Futures processes them in 48 business hours or less.
That cap is exactly double the one applied to Zero accounts on the same rung, and it is the main reason to pay the price difference between the two plans. If you need to cash out more than $5,000 in a single request, the only plan that allows it is the Advanced plan, at $15,000 per request.
The split is 90% to the trader and 10% to Alpha Futures from the first payout, with no tiers. To compare Alpha timelines with the rest of the sector, the fastest paying prop firms ranking puts the conditions side by side.

Fit
Who the Standard plan is for (and who it is not for)
It fits you if
- You expect to cash out between $3,000 and $5,000 per request: that is the band where Standard beats Zero without reaching Advanced pricing.
- You want to pass the evaluation without a daily limit locking your account mid-session.
- Your trading already spreads profit across several days, so a 50% rule asks you to change nothing.
- The wider loss room helps: $2,000 on Standard against $1,750 on Advanced at the 50K size.
It does not fit you if
- Your results depend on one or two strong days a month: the 50% evaluation rule and the 40% payout rule will slow you down.
- You want the lowest entry price. That is the Zero plan, which also has a 25K size.
- You do not want a Daily Loss Guard or a Scaling Plan on the qualified account: the Advanced plan removes both.
- You would rather start straight on a qualified account with no evaluation: that route is the Direct plan.
Comparison
Standard against the other Alpha Futures plans
Alpha Futures runs four plans: Zero, Standard, Advanced and Direct. Standard is the middle rung and the only one with a 50% consistency rule in the evaluation.
| Plan | Evaluation | Consistency (eval → qualified) | Daily Loss Guard | Max payout per request | Key difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zero | 1 step · 1 day minimum | No rule → 40% | Yes, in both stages | $1,000 – $2,500 | Cheapest entry and a $0 activation fee. |
| Standard | 1 step · 2 day minimum | 50% → 40% | Qualified account only | $3,000 – $5,000 | Double the payout cap of Zero. |
| Advanced | 1 step · 3 day minimum | 40% → no rule | None | $15,000 | The highest payout cap and no Scaling Plan. |
| Direct | No evaluation | 20% (always) | Yes | $1,000 – $3,000 | Qualified account from day 1, one-time fee. |
If you are choosing between plans rather than sizes, the best Alpha Futures plan guide compares all four with a recommendation per profile. For the full detail of each: Zero plan, with a $0 activation fee and a 25K size; Advanced plan, with the $15,000 cap per request; and Direct plan, the route with no evaluation.
Frequently asked questions about the Standard plan
Does Alpha Futures have a Premium plan?
No. In 2026 Alpha Futures offers four plans: Zero, Standard, Advanced and Direct. The Premium plan did exist: it launched on May 1, 2026 and temporarily replaced Standard, but Alpha Futures discontinued it on July 12, 2026, automatically refunded and closed every active Premium account, and brought the Standard plan back. If you were looking for a plan called Premium, it is most likely the Phidias one, which does have an active Premium family.
What consistency rule does the Standard plan have?
50% in the evaluation and 40% in the qualified account. During the evaluation no single day can contribute more than 50% of net profit; between payouts, no single day can account for 40% or more of the net profit accumulated since the last request.
Does the Standard plan have a Daily Loss Guard?
Not in the evaluation. The qualified account does: $1,000 on 50K, $2,000 on 100K and $3,000 on 150K. Hitting the Daily Loss Guard does not breach the account, it only locks it until the next trading day starts.
How much can you withdraw on the Standard plan?
The minimum per request is $500 and the maximum is $3,000 on 50K, $4,000 on 100K and $5,000 on 150K, double the Zero plan caps. You can withdraw up to 50% of your profit and make up to 4 requests per month, each one after 5 winning days of $200 or more.
How is the Standard plan different from Advanced?
Standard is cheaper and has a lower profit target ($3,000 against $4,000 on 50K) with a wider MLL ($2,000 against $1,750). Advanced removes the consistency rule and the Daily Loss Guard on the qualified account, applies no Scaling Plan and lifts the payout cap to $15,000; Standard keeps the 40% consistency rule, the Daily Loss Guard and the Scaling Plan in qualified, with caps of $3,000 to $5,000.
How many minimum trading days does the Standard plan require?
2 minimum trading days in the evaluation, across all three sizes. In the qualified account the payout requirement is not trading days but 5 winning days of $200 or more before each request.
How much does the Alpha Futures Standard plan cost?
Standard 50K is the cheapest size of the plan and is billed as a monthly subscription for as long as the evaluation lasts. The price table on this page lists all three sizes with their list price and final price; confirm the exact amount at the Alpha Futures checkout.
