📊 Trader Score Rule

At Alpha Futures, performance isn't just about making money — it's about how you make it. That’s why we use a proprietary metric called the Trader Score to assess the sustainability of your trading performance before any payout is approved.

This isn’t a traditional “consistency rule.”
We’re not here to box you in — but we do want to ensure you’re building profits on skill, not streaks.
​


✅ What Is the Trader Score?

Your Trader Score measures how much of your total realized profit came from your biggest single trading day.

  • A low score means you built profits steadily across multiple sessions

  • A high score suggests you relied too heavily on a single high-volatility win — which may not be repeatable

In futures trading, where volatility is both an opportunity and a risk, this metric helps ensure payouts go to traders with repeatable edges.
​


🧮 Trader Score Formula

Trader Score = (Highest Single-Day Profit ÷ Total Realized Profit) × 100

Example:

  • Account Size: $100,000

  • Highest Profit Day: $4,000

  • Total Realized Profit: $14,000
    → Trader Score = (4,000 ÷ 14,000) × 100 = 28.57%

That means 28.57% of your profit came from one trading day — which is acceptable for most funded accounts.
​


📌 Minimum Trader Score Requirements

To qualify for a withdrawal on a funded account, your Trader Score must meet the following thresholds:

Account Type

Max Trader Score Allowed

1-Step Challenge Phase

30%

Instant Funding Account

20%

If your score is too high, simply keep trading and distribute your gains more evenly before requesting a payout.
​


⚠️ Key Notes

  • Trader Score only applies to funded accounts

  • It does not apply during any challenge or evaluation phase

  • Once your payout is approved, your Trader Score resets to 100%

  • We place no restrictions on strategy, frequency, or trading style — only on the balance of your profit distribution
    ​


🤔 Is This a Consistency Rule?

Nope.
This isn’t about forcing you to hit daily or weekly quotas.
At Alpha Futures, you can:

  • Take large wins

  • Trade your own pace

  • Scale in, scale out, swing, scalp — it’s your edge, your rules

We only care that your performance isn't built on a single lucky day.
​


💡 Why the Trader Score Matters

In the fast-paced world of futures, this rule protects both you and the firm.

  • It rewards traders who demonstrate repeatable skill

  • It filters out high-risk, all-or-nothing trading

  • It ensures payouts go to traders who can perform under pressure — more than once

This is about creating a firm built on long-term talent, not short-term heat.
