Yes. Alpha Funded is the current name of the firm that traded as Alpha Trader (Alpha Trader Firm). Its help centre and social accounts still use the old name in places. It is run by Alpha Tech LLC in Dubai, UAE, and has been operating since 2022. It is not related to Alpha Capital Group or its Alpha Futures brand.
Six programs. 2-Step Classic and 2-Step Standard are two-phase challenges. 1-Step Lite and 1-Step PRO are one-phase challenges. Instant Funding and Instant Funding PRO skip the evaluation. Challenges come in $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $200,000, $300,000 and $400,000 sizes. Instant Funding also has a $500,000 size. Every fee is one-time.
At list price, a $100,000 account costs $900 for 2-Step Classic, $800 for 2-Step Standard, $900 for 1-Step Lite and $800 for 1-Step PRO. Instant Funding costs $900 and Instant Funding PRO $1,498. Alpha Funded nearly always runs a sale, which at the time of writing takes 50% off up to $200,000 and 60% off from $300,000. Buying several accounts at once takes another 5% to 20% off the extra accounts.
Reach 10% in phase 1 and 5% in phase 2, with no time limit. The daily loss limit is 5% of the higher of your start-of-day balance or equity, and the maximum loss is 10% of the starting balance, static. Classic has no minimum trading days. Standard needs 3 days with at least 0.5% profit in each phase and once funded, but has no funded consistency rule. To withdraw, Classic requires your best day to be 30% or less of your total realized profit.
1-Step Lite has a 10% target, a 3% daily limit, a 10% static maximum loss and 3 minimum trading days, with no consistency rule. 1-Step PRO has an 8% target, a 3% daily limit, a 6% static maximum loss and 5 minimum trading days in the challenge. Once funded, PRO has no minimum days, but your best day must be 35% or less of your total profit to withdraw.
You trade a funded account from day one, with a 3% daily loss limit and a 5% trailing maximum loss. Open losses may never exceed 1% of the balance. Instant Funding pays 90% every 14 days or on demand, after 5 profitable days of at least 0.5%. Its consistency target starts at 20% for the first payout and rises by 5 points per payout to 40%. Instant Funding PRO costs about twice as much, pays 80% on demand, needs 7 profitable days and has no consistency rule. The first 3% of profit stays in the account on both.

On $300,000 and $400,000 funded accounts, the first 3% of profit cannot be withdrawn.
