Daily loss: the rule that kills the most accounts
Alpha Capital Group lets you lose up to 4% in a single day. If your equity (floating included) touches that floor, the account is gone — even if it recovers afterwards. It's the limit that quietly blows up the most accounts, because one big trade or a bad-day streak is enough.
Maximum drawdown (8% static)
Alpha Capital Group's total loss cap is 8%. Being static, the floor doesn't rise when you win: it's always measured against the initial balance. That's good — it gives you room as you grow.
Consistency rule
CONFIRMADO: 40% Best Day Rule — solo en cuentas con payout On-Demand (+ 2% min gross profit). No aplica a otros ciclos.
Quick Strike (the 120-second rule)
This is Alpha Capital Group's silent trap: if a large share of your profit comes from trades closed in under 120 seconds, they can void the account. Warning from 20%, breach at 50%. It's the easiest rule to break without noticing if you scalp fast.
