Getting Started with AlphaTrader on Alpha Futures
AlphaTrader is our in-house trading platform, built for futures prop traders who want everything, charts, execution, and risk controls, in one place, launched straight from the Alpha Futures dashboard. No third-party account, no separate download to hunt down.
We built it for desk-grade execution and depth of market tools that fit how prop analysts actually work, without forcing you to stitch together a charting app, a broker connection, and a risk tool from three different companies.
You need an Evaluation or Qualified Account on AlphaTrader to use it.
Platform choices are not interchangeable after purchase. Pick carefully before you buy. See every option on our platforms page.
Simulated evaluations and simulated funds. Performance fees are performance-based; outcomes not guaranteed.
What you get on AlphaTrader
- TradingView charts - the same charting engine most traders already know, built directly into AlphaTrader so you're not switching tabs to read price action.
- Autoloads front contract - opens straight to the active month's contract, so you're not manually hunting down the right expiry every session.
- One-click trading - drag to set your stop loss and take profit directly on the chart, no separate order ticket.
- Commission-free trading - you only pay regulatory fees on AlphaTrader, nothing extra layered on top.
- Personal risk controls - set daily loss limits, daily profit locks, and manual lock settings yourself, on top of your account rules.
- Built-in trade copier - mirror trades across accounts without a third-party copier tool.

Who AlphaTrader is for
Choose AlphaTrader if you want our in-house platform, TradingView charts built in, and a one-click launch straight from your dashboard, no separate desktop install, no third-party sign-up, no extra account to manage on top of your Alpha Futures login.
It's built for traders who want to keep everything, charting, order entry, and risk settings, under one roof, rather than running a charting platform and a broker connection as two separate pieces.
