Alpha Capital One rules
In Alpha One, the 10% variant has a 10% target, a 4% daily loss and a 6% total loss with a floor that follows the highest balance reached. On a 100k account, once the balance hits 106k the floor locks at 100k and stops rising. One trading day is enough.
It is a single-phase evaluation in three variants, and what changes between them is not only the target: the daily and total loss limits rise with it.

The three variants, side by side
The firm publishes Alpha One in three configurations. All use a high-water trailing floor that locks at the starting balance, and all require just one trading day.
- One 6%: 6% target, 3% daily loss in the evaluation (4% in the qualified account) and 4% total loss.
- One 10%: 10% target, 4% daily loss and 6% total loss.
- One 12%: 12% target, 5% daily loss and 8% total loss.
- Daily loss base: the higher of end-of-day balance and equity, referenced to 00:00 GMT+3.
- Total loss: trailing on the highest balance reached, locking at the starting balance.
- Consistency: 40% of total generated profit in a single day, on the on-demand method.
- Profit split: 80%, or 90% with the paid add-on.
- Sizes: up to US$ 200k, except One 12%, which goes up to US$ 100k.
The lock, in the firm's own example
Alpha One's floor follows the highest balance the account has ever had. The firm gives the example in dollars for the 10% variant: on a 100k account, as soon as the balance reaches 106k the trailing stops and the floor stays fixed at the 100k starting balance. Before that, every new high pushes the floor up.
The practical consequence is that the most dangerous stretch is the beginning: while the floor still trails, profit that evaporates takes headroom with it. After the lock, it behaves like a static floor and accumulated profit finally protects.
What the firm asks on the qualified account side
The daily loss is measured from end-of-day balance and equity — the firm uses the higher of the two — with the rollover at 00:00 GMT+3, and it accounts for open trades: breaches are evaluated on current equity, not only on closed results.
On payouts, the default split is 80%, rising to 90% with the contracted add-on. The 40% consistency rule measures the best day's share of total generated profit — it does not end the account, but it holds the payout until the best day fits.

FAQ
Does Alpha One's floor really lock?
Yes. The firm publishes the example: on a 100k account in the 10% variant, once the balance reaches 106k the trailing stops and the floor stays fixed at the 100k starting balance.
Where is the daily loss measured from?
From the higher of end-of-day balance and equity, referenced to 00:00 GMT+3. Breaches account for open trades, which means they are evaluated on current equity.
What consistency rule applies?
40% on the on-demand method: no single day may account for more than 40% of total generated profit. It delays the payout, it does not end the account.
