Alpha Futures in Miami 2026
Welcome back to Trade and Travel — our live trading show where the markets are only half the game. After the London edition, we took the show to Miami, dropped four of the most-followed traders in our community into one of the most active futures cities in the world, and put the largest max allocation in the industry on the line.
The format is simple: two teams, three Miami landmarks, live trades at every stop, physical challenges in between, and a final sprint to settle it.
The format
At each landmark, both teams trade live. The first team to lock in a profit scores one alpha point. The winner of the physical challenge at that landmark scores another. The losing team gets one shot to claw a point back and tie things up at the next stop. Three landmarks, six points on the table — and a finale that doubles the stakes.
The teams
Team 1 — Spag and Blake. One half of the Spaghetti Trading duo (Edeto, aka Spag) teaming up with Blake from PB Trading. Experienced pair, calm under pressure, both leaning bearish on NQ from the open.
Team 2 — Pipe and Xander. The other half of Spaghetti Trading (Pipe — Edeto's actual trading partner of ten years) paired with Z-Trades' Xander, the defending champion from the London edition. Pure rivalry: same model, same setups, opposite sides of the bracket.
Stop 1 - South Pointe Pier
The bikes left at 9:25am with five minutes to the New York open. Team 1 set up at the pier and played a clean pre-market short on NQ — five-minute gap, two-minute confirmation, in before the bell. Within minutes of the open, the move played out exactly as called and they banked the first trading point. Team 2 took the tug-of-war for the physical point.
One–one heading to Muscle Beach.
Stop 2 - Muscle Beach
This is where the day got loud. Team 1 took an emotional re-entry on the wrong side of a chop, doubled down on a full NQ contract instead of an MNQ, and blew an account live on camera.
"This isn't the way I trade. This is not the way any of us trade. But this is a challenge — and we are going to win it."
Team 2 took the trading point. From there it was straight into the strength block — dips, pull-ups, and a dead hang. Pull-ups went 20 to 11 in Team 2's favour. By the time both teams loaded back into the cars, the score was 3–2 in Team 1's favour, despite the blown account.
Stop 3 - Flamingo Park
Choppy lunch-hour price action and one more blown account between the teams. The deciding round at this stop was the field goal kick. Blake split the uprights with zero warm-up on the first attempt. Spag closed it out with a long-range kick straight through the middle.
Team 1 walked off the field 4–2 — needing only the jet-ski sprint to make it official.
Final - jet-ski race to Monument Island
The finale: a sprint across Biscayne Bay to Monument Island. Both teams hit the jet skis at Hibiscus Island and tore across the water. One team flipped their jet ski mid-race and had to swim it back. The other made it to the monument, snapped the photo, and returned to base first. Two-point swing, game over.
The result
Final score: Team 1 — 6, Team 2 — 3.
Spag and Blake each walked away with three 150K Advanced accounts — the largest max allocation we offer, equivalent to $450,000 in simulated funded capital per trader. That's $900,000 in simulated capital between them and a clear path toward the Alpha Prime trading floor in London.
What's next
Miami is the second stop on the Trade and Travel tour. We're running more of these through the rest of the year, different cities, different formats, the same opportunity for the Alpha community to play for life-changing allocation.
The way onto the next one is simple: pass an Alpha Futures evaluation, stay qualified, and stay close to the Discord. Invites go out from there.
