Live Programs
Real capital, no payout cap, with reserve that unlocks in stages.
Real capital + reserveLFA size = average of eligible XFAs, rounded up to 50K/100K/150K. 20% becomes tradable, 80% held in reserve.
Risk-team call-up after demonstrating consistency in Express Funded Accounts (XFA). No fixed timeframe. LFA size equals the average of all active XFAs with at least one payout, rounded up to the nearest tier (50K/100K/150K). Account creation takes 7-10 business days.
No payout cap. 90/10 split (traders who joined before Jan 12 2026 keep 100% of their first $10,000). 100% payout after 30 winning days. Dynamic Live Risk Expansion. Shoulder-Tap path back to live.
Transition cannot be declined. Reserve unlocks only stepwise, never via a single large win. Daily payouts only after 30 winning days inside live (XFA days do not carry over). Account liquidates below $1,000.
The only true partnership: monthly salary, weekly coaching, a London trading floor.
Live market + salaryOn transition, 50% of sim profit is paid out (up to $1,500-$15,000). Remaining balance becomes a 12-month monthly salary (Alpha Prime only).
- Monthly salary (12 mo)
- Weekly strategy calls
- In-house quant team
- London trading floor
- No salary
- No Alpha resources
- Relaxed environment
Sim Qualified Account reaches +$40,000 or 5 payouts (or earlier by review). Trader contributes $5,000 from sim balance, firm contributes $5,000, creating a $10,000 static live account. Trader then chooses Alpha Prime or Generic Live.
Monthly salary for 12 months plus weekly strategy calls, in-house quant team and London trading floor visits (Alpha Prime). 10:1 leverage. Swing/overnight holding allowed. No consistency rule, no news restriction.
Alpha Prime pays only 60% (Generic Live pays 80% but forfeits salary and resources). Reckless trading or salary-squatting breaches the contract. Declining live ends the relationship with the Alpha Group.
Size-tiered live with a one-time bonus and uncapped LucidMaxx status.
Sim-to-live, size-tieredTrigger is typically the 5th payout on a funded account. Each size has its own starting drawdown and one-time bonus.
| Size | Drawdown | Contracts | Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,000 | 2 mini / 20 micro | $1,000 |
| 50K | $2,000 | 4 mini / 40 micro | $2,000 |
| 100K | $3,000 | 6 mini / 60 micro | $3,000 |
| 150K | $4,500 | 10 mini / 100 micro | $4,500 |
Discretionary by the risk team: after Payout 5, after a high lifetime payout, on exceptional sim performance, or if previously moved live. No fixed timeframe. One live account is granted per qualified funded account (each needs at least one payout).
90/10 split (accounts opened before Nov 28 2025 keep 100% of their first $10,000). One-time live bonus on the first live trip. LucidMaxx status grants daily uncapped payouts and instant live capital. No daily loss limit.
Hedging strictly prohibited (permanent ban). No household sim trading while live. Max loss limit locks to $100 if a payout is requested before clearing the drawdown. Bonus only on first trip.
Size-tiered live, up to 5 accounts, unlimited transitions and reward pools.
Sim-to-live, size-tieredAny trades or progress after the last successful payout are not included in the transition.
| Size | Drawdown | Contracts |
|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,500 | 1-2 mini |
| 50K | $2,000 | 2-4 mini |
| 100K | $3,000 | 4-8 mini |
| 150K | $4,500 | 6-12 mini |
Discretionary: minimum 3 payouts on a single account OR 10 payouts since the last live transition. Thresholds are a minimum requirement, not automatic qualification; the team selects holistically. Elite-Only Mode grants a direct live account after passing a Select evaluation.
80/20 split. No sim profit cap and unlimited live transitions. Accelerator Reward Pools. Elite-Only Mode skips the sim phase entirely for top traders. No daily loss limit.
Transition cannot be declined once selected. No simultaneous sim and live (entire household). Requesting a payout before the EOD lock reduces effective drawdown. Legacy Live payouts do not count toward Elite.
Instant settlement cash plus a reserve refill system, but strict auto-liquidation.
Real capital + reserveAll active FundedNext accounts are combined when calculating eligible profit, deposit and reserve.
| Deposit | Contracts |
|---|---|
| Below $15,000 | 2 mini / 6 micro |
| $15,000-$30,000 | 3 mini / 9 micro |
| Above $30,000 | 5 mini / 15 micro |
Discretionary after reaching $100,000 in Total Active Profits OR 5 Performance Rewards from a single Flex account (or earlier by review). Eligible profit (80% of sim profit) splits into 50% settlement withdrawal, 25% live deposit (capped at $50,000) and the remainder into reserve. Review ~5 days, creation 3-7 days.
80/20 split. Immediate settlement cash (50% of eligible profit at transition). Reserve refill: 100% match up to $10k withdrawn, then 50% match, no cap. Strong scaling potential.
Transition cannot be declined. Auto-liquidation if equity falls below the threshold (permanent, no reset). Must generate $500 new profit between withdrawals after the first. Full withdrawal only after 45 benchmark days.
Real capital with strong live perks, but conditions vary heavily by plan.
Real capital (plan-dependent)Splits are flat: Core 80/20, Pro 80/20, Rapid 90/10. Live drawdown is a static $140 minimum balance regardless of size.
Discretionary: the risk team makes contact after consistent profitability. Thresholds vary by plan (e.g. Rapid: $10,000 net profit in a single day triggers auto-transition with the excess forfeited; Core/Pro use a ~$100,000 cumulative trigger per tier). Setup 2-4 business days. Multiple sim accounts merge into one live account.
Flat splits by plan (Rapid 90/10, Core/Pro 80/20). No inactivity timer on live. Microscalping, DCA and news trading allowed. Daily payouts. Path-Back-to-Live option after a loss.
Transition cannot be declined. No simultaneous sim and live. No hedging (including cross-instrument). After a payout request, contracts drop to 0 until it clears. Conditions strongly plan-dependent. Sim profit transfer is capped per plan, the rest forfeited.
