Standard is back on Alpha Futures.
It is our traditional Evaluation → Qualified Account path, with a scaling plan on the Qualified stage.
You trade simulated funds in a simulated trading environment. When you meet the rules, you may request performance fees. Outcomes are not guaranteed.
This return updates the old Standard path. Evaluation is a monthly subscription. The Qualified stage has no monthly fee. Performance fees run off 5 green days. Caps are $3,000 / $4,000 / $5,000 by size. You can run up to 5 accounts.
