Alpha Futures Scaling Plan Explained (2026)
Update — July 12, 2026: The Premium plan has been discontinued. All active Premium accounts are being refunded and closed automatically — no ticket needed. Zero, Advanced, and Direct plans are unaffected. References to Premium below are kept for historical accuracy.
Our scaling plan applies on Qualified Accounts only, after you pass your evaluation (what many traders call a prop firm challenge). It ties maximum position size (minis and micros) to net profit on the account, so your buying power grows as you build simulated profits. Advanced has no scaling plan. Zero $25K qualified has no scaling plan. Zero $50K / $100K qualified and all Premium qualified accounts use the tier tables below.
