Alpha Futures Trading Journal: Track the MLL, Daily Loss Guard and Consistency
Rules summarized as of November 2026. Confirm current plans, platforms and rules on Alpha Futures' website before trading. Clarity Tracking is not affiliated with Alpha Futures.
Alpha Futures runs one-step evaluations on three main plans, Standard, Advanced and Zero. All use an end-of-day trailing Maximum Loss Limit (MLL), but the plans differ on daily limits and consistency.
Alpha Futures rules at a glance
| Rule | Standard | Advanced | Zero |
|---|---|---|---|
| EOD trailing MLL | 4% | 3.5% | 4% |
| Daily Loss Guard (evaluation) | None | None | 2% |
| Evaluation consistency | 50% | 50% | None |
The MLL stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance. Funded (qualified) accounts carry their own consistency and daily rules, so record which stage each account is in.
What to track
- Distance to the MLL after each session
- Daily loss used vs. the 2% guard, where it applies
- Best day as a share of profit for the 50% or 40% consistency rule
- Results by contract and time of day
