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.
Alpha Capital Group is well documented at 81/100: 4 of 9 criteria published in full, 4 in part, and 1 not found on the pages we read. If you are choosing on dated rule changes or regulator or licence, read the firm's own pages before you pay.

Why you can trust this page
Every figure comes from Alpha Capital Group's own terms, rules or help pages (Tier B) or a legal document or register (Tier A); nothing from aggregators or review sites is used to state a fact. The score is nine published criteria with nine published weights — recompute it from the table below. Outbound links may earn a referral fee; they cannot move a score, a rank, or a word on this page.
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 |

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.

Not on our record. 0 rule changes logged for Alpha Capital Group, none applied to accounts that already existed.
What is the Alpha Capital Group disclosure score?
81/100, computed from nine published criteria with published weights. It measures how much Alpha Capital Group publishes about its own rules, not whether the firm is good.
