What is Alpha Prime? (2026)
Alpha Prime is the professional progression tier in our ecosystem, launched in 2025 and based at a London office. You do not start here and you cannot buy in. Traders are selected for it after proving consistency on an Alpha Capital or Alpha Futures Qualified Account. Alpha Capital and Alpha Futures are the evaluation brands you join first; Alpha Prime is the tier you can earn your way into.

General information only. This is not financial advice. Selection criteria and terms are set by the brand and can change, so verify on official channels.
Is Alpha Prime a beginner entry point?
No. This is the part people get wrong most often. Alpha Prime is not a product you purchase like an evaluation. It is the professional tier that sits above the evaluation brands.
The normal path looks like this:
- Join an evaluation with Alpha Capital (forex) or Alpha Futures (futures).
- Pass and trade a Qualified Account with consistency.
- Get reviewed for selection into Alpha Prime.

How do you get into Alpha Prime?
By performance, not payment. Selection is based on a consistent, verified track record rather than a single big win.
Publicly reported review thresholds include reaching around $40,000 in payable balance, completing 5 payout cycles, or hitting $100,000 in lifetime payouts on a Qualified Account. These figures are widely cited but the brand sets and updates the actual criteria, so treat them as a guide and confirm the current rules directly.
The reason it works this way: sourcing genuinely skilled traders is the hardest problem in this industry, so the ecosystem uses its existing trader base as the talent pipeline rather than recruiting cold.
Is Alpha Prime simulated or something else?
Alpha Prime is positioned differently from the evaluation brands. Alpha Capital and Alpha Futures run a simulated evaluation model where performance fees are paid on simulated profits. Alpha Prime is the professional progression tier reserved for selected, proven traders, with structures tailored per trader.

Who runs Alpha Prime and where is it based?
Alpha Prime operates from an office in the City of London and runs a physical trading floor. Public reporting names experienced desk leadership with decades of fund and trading-desk background, and the wider ecosystem was founded by George Kohler. It launched in 2025 as the next step built on Alpha Capital (founded 2021) and Alpha Futures.
There is also an education link: Divento Financials, the accredited training firm acquired in 2026, feeds into this professional pathway.
