Start a Alpha Capital Group challengeGenuinely flexible — no time limits, no minimum days, EAs and news allowed, and a path to a lifetime 100% split — but watch the Symbol Loss Limit and the same-market-two-accounts profit-nullification rule.
Best for: Discretionary and EA traders who want maximum flexibility (no time/day minimums) and a fast route to a 100% split — and who avoid running the same symbol across accounts.
