Alpha Capital Group
Disclosure score 81/100 — Well documented. This measures how much Alpha Capital Group publishes about its own rules on the pages we have verified. It is not a judgement of whether the firm is good, and a low score can simply mean we have not read enough of its site yet.
How the 81/100 breaks down
Every weight is published. Add the right-hand column and you get the score — no hidden weighting, no editorial adjustment. If you disagree with a line, you can say exactly which one.
| Criterion | Weight | Awarded | What it means here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily loss limit fully specified | 15 | 15 | Percentage, basis, whether it is measured on balance or equity, and the reset time. All four, or partial credit. |
| Maximum loss limit fully specified | 15 | 12 | Percentage, static or trailing, and the reference point it trails from. |
| Consistency rule formula published | 12 | 12 | The formula, not just the percentage. An explicit “no consistency rule” scores full marks. |
| Payout terms fully specified | 15 | 13 | Split, frequency, profitable-day requirements and minimum amounts, for every cycle offered. |
| Soft-breach rules disclosed | 10 | 8 | Profit deductions, warning systems and split reductions that cost money without closing the account. |
| Legal entity identified | 10 | 10 | Entity name, jurisdiction and company registration number. |
| Regulator or licence disclosed | 8 | 3 | A named regulator and licence number, or a clear statement that there is none. |
| Restricted countries named | 8 | 8 | The actual list, not a generic clause about unlawful jurisdictions. |
| Rule changes dated and traceable | 7 | 0 | Changes carry effective dates and state whether existing accounts are affected. |
| Total | 100 | 81 |

Soft breaches — where money disappears without the account closing
Max loss trails the balance high-water mark by 6% until the account is up 6%, then locks permanently at the initial balance. Whether it updates intraday or end-of-day is not stated. Average trade duration must exceed 2 minutes and at least half of profit must come from trades held over 2 minutes. The 40% best-day rule applies to on-demand payout requests only.

Soft breaches — where money disappears without the account closing
Weekend holding is allowed in both evaluation phases but not on the Qualified Account: a weekend hold there is a soft breach — profit from those trades is removed, the account stays open. Minimum 2-minute average trade duration applies.

Who you are actually contracting with
Most firms split the simulated-trading operator from the execution entity. Which entity you face can depend on the platform you pick, and that changes your counterparty risk. Nobody else puts this in a comparison.
