Why "Better Risk Rules" Is Their Whole Brand
Alpha Futures built their identity around two specific risk mechanic differences vs. competitors like Apex:
Apex (Intraday Trailing)
Your drawdown floor follows your unrealized peak in real time. If a trade moves $2,000 in your favor intraday then you close breakeven, your floor permanently moved up by $2,000. You can fail your account while still net positive on the day.
Alpha Futures (EOD Trailing)
Your drawdown floor only moves at market close, based on closed P&L. Open trades don't move the floor. You can let winners run, give back profits intraday, and your floor hasn't changed. Only what you lock in at EOD counts.
