At Alpha Futures, we value deliberate, consistent, and profitable trading. To maintain fairness and properly evaluate performance, we enforce a Minimum Trading Days Requirement for certain account types.
✅ What Counts as a Minimum Profitable Day?
A minimum profitable day is defined as any day when your realized profit equals at least 0.50% of the account balance.
If your profit for the day is below 0.50%, it does not count toward the requirement
Losses do not count toward the requirement
If your account equity is below the starting balance, daily profits will not count toward the minimum trading day requirement
🔄 How It Works
30-Day Window
Your 30-day period begins on the date of your first trade.Counting Days
Only trading days where you achieve 0.50%+ profit will be added toward the required total.Failure to Meet Rule
Not meeting the minimum within the 30-day window is considered a hard breach and results in account closure.

💡 Why This Rule Matters
The Minimum Trading Days Rule ensures that futures traders don’t rely on one-off, high-risk trades to pass an evaluation or withdraw profits. Instead, it:
Promotes disciplined, professional trading habits
Demonstrates that profits are repeatable and sustainable
Protects the integrity of the program and fosters long-term success
At Alpha Futures, the goal is simple: reward traders who approach the markets with skill, consistency, and control.
