<![CDATA[alpha capital review after 6 months - honest take]]>signed up with alpha capital in june 2025, passed their evaluation in august, been trading their funded account since. wanted to share an honest 6-month review since theres a lot of mixed info online.

the good:

  • rules are clearer than ftmo, less 'gotcha' clauses
  • payouts (twice now, 80/20 split) hit my bank in 3 business days each time
  • their dashboard is actually useful, not just marketing fluff

the bad:

  • their platform options are limited, basically mt5 only
  • support is slow when stuff goes wrong (rare but happened twice)
  • the evaluation phase has a max drawdown that feels artificially tight

questions welcome.
