Alpha Futures $100K Daily Drawdown: Limits & Risk Calculator

On a Alpha Futures $100K account, the daily drawdown limit is approximately $5,000 (5% of $100K). Risk 0.5% per trade, stop after two losses, and hard-stop at 80% of the daily budget.

Practical daily drawdown math for Alpha Futures $100K traders — from dollars to lot size.

Your Daily Loss Budget

Alpha Futures enforces daily loss caps during evaluation. On $100K, 5% ≈ $5,000 maximum intraday loss before breach.

Step 1: Convert Stop Distance to Lot Size

Measure stop distance in points or pips on your instrument.

Divide daily loss budget by (stop distance × point value) to get maximum contracts/lots.

Step 2: Apply the Two-Loss Rule

If each trade risks 0.5% ($500), two full losses = 1.0% — still inside the daily cap.

Three marginal losses without adjustment is how $100K accounts fail before lunch.

Step 3: Session Hard Stop

Set a platform alert at -$4,000 (80% of daily limit). Walk away — trailing drawdown does not forgive revenge entries.

Does Alpha Futures use trailing or static daily drawdown?

Alpha Futures uses trailing drawdown on max loss (maximum loss limits by account size). Daily limits are evaluated per session calendar day on most plans.
