Watch Out For
Withdrawals permanently reduce MLL
Every dollar withdrawn permanently lowers your Maximum Loss Limit. Withdrawing all profit = balance at starting = MLL breach = account closed.
Hedging ban includes cross-product
Reverse trading/hedging is strictly prohibited, including cross-product hedging such as long NQ and short MNQ on the same account. Also banned across separate accounts.
Semi-auto OK but full-auto banned
Custom indicators with signals are fine IF you manually place and manage trades. AI, bots, and HFT (100+ trades/day) are banned.
Tick/Micro scalping banned (<10 ticks AND <2 min)
Trades less than 10 ticks AND less than 2 minutes are considered tick scalping. No fixed minimum hold rule, but consistent pattern of quick-close profits without a plan is prohibited. Max leverage + quick close exploiting sim fills is banned.
100 trades/day HFT limit
Alpha Futures restricts strategies resulting in over 100 trades per day, automated or manual. AI, bots, and full automation are strictly prohibited. Semi-auto (custom indicators with manual execution) is allowed.
Advanced removes DLG/consistency/news/scaling
Advanced Qualified accounts have no Daily Loss Guard, no consistency rule, no news restriction, and no scaling plan. Prohibited Trading Practices still apply, including automation, gambling-style trading, tick/micro scalping, group trading, and reverse trading/hedging.

Trailing drawdown follows your equity highs, which means early profits raise your floor. Once it locks at initial balance or profit target, the floor stops moving, so hitting the lock point early is a key strategy.
Daily Loss Guard (DLG) — positions are liquidated when hit, but account unlocks next session. Not a breach.
