Alpha Futures vs FundedNext Futures
The rules, side by side
| Rule | Alpha Futures | FundedNext Futures |
|---|---|---|
| Drawdown type | Intraday trailing | End-of-day trailing |
| Daily loss limit | no limit in the preset | no limit in the preset |
| Consistency rule | no limit in the preset | 40% |
| Minimum trading days | none | none |
| Account sizes | $50K · $100K · $150K | $25K · $50K · $100K · $150K |
Typical values for each firm's standard accounts. "No limit in the preset" means Propbook's default account for that firm carries no such rule — other plans from the same firm may, and firms change their terms, so check your own contract.
Account by account
| Account | Alpha Futures | FundedNext Futures |
|---|---|---|
| $50K | $2,500 target $3,000 · 1.20 to make per $1 of room | $1,500 target $2,500 · 1.67 to make per $1 of room |
| $100K | $3,000 target $6,000 · 2.00 to make per $1 of room | $2,500 target $5,000 · 2.00 to make per $1 of room |
| $150K | $4,500 target $9,000 · 2.00 to make per $1 of room | $4,000 target $7,500 · 1.88 to make per $1 of room |
Drawdown room and profit target for each firm's account of that size. The last figure is how many dollars of target you must make for every dollar of room you are given — the lower it is, the more forgiving the account.
What actually separates them
Trading style
Alpha Futures uses intraday trailing: the line follows every tick of unrealised profit, so giving back an open winner tightens it immediately. FundedNext Futures is the one to pick if you scale out of winners or hold through a pullback — with Alpha Futures, that same pullback eats your room.
One big day
Alpha Futures allows your best day to be any share of total profit; FundedNext Futures caps it at 40%. If your edge comes from a few large sessions, the tighter rule is what will hold your payout back.
Trading both? Track both.
Propbook holds a Alpha Futures and a FundedNext Futures account side by side, each with its own rules. After every day you log, it recalculates the drawdown, the daily loss, the consistency rule and the payout conditions of each one, and warns you on Telegram while you can still stop. The journal is free, with no card.
FAQ
Which is easier to pass, Alpha Futures or FundedNext Futures?
Neither is easy, and the honest answer depends on how you trade. Alpha Futures uses intraday trailing: the line follows every tick of unrealised profit, so giving back an open winner tightens it immediately. FundedNext Futures is the one to pick if you scale out of winners or hold through a pullback — with Alpha Futures, that same pullback eats your room.
Can I run a Alpha Futures and a FundedNext Futures account at the same time?
Yes — they are separate firms with separate rules. What trips traders up is tracking two different rule sets at once. Propbook holds every account of every firm in one place and recalculates each rule the moment you log a day.
Does the drawdown type really change that much?
It changes what you can do with an open position. Alpha Futures: the line follows every tick of unrealised profit, so giving back an open winner tightens it immediately. FundedNext Futures: the line only moves when the session closes, so an open winner you give back does not tighten it.
Are these numbers current?
They are the rule sets Propbook ships as presets, checked against each firm's public pages. Firms change their terms without notice, so confirm on Alpha Futures's and FundedNext Futures's own sites before you buy an evaluation — and every value stays editable in the app.
