Quick answer: As of July 19, 2026, Alpha Futures' Advanced Plan $50K and Zero $50K are two monthly-billed evaluations from the same firm, both offering a 90% funded profit split, end-of-day drawdown, and the same broad set of payout methods (ACH, Rise, SWIFT, Wire, Wise). The differences are real: Advanced Plan costs $209 per month ($135.85 with code GORILLA) with a hard $4,000 profit target and no funded consistency rule, while Zero costs less at $119 per month ($77.35 with code GORILLA) but pairs a $3,000 target with a much tighter risk setup and a 40% funded consistency rule capped at $1,500 per payout. Choose Advanced Plan for a cleaner path with a bigger uncapped-request payout policy; choose Zero to save money if you can trade within its stricter guardrails.
| Evaluation Rule | Advanced Plan $50K | Zero $50K |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $209/mo ($135.85 code GORILLA) | $119/mo ($77.35 code GORILLA) |
| Activation fee | $0 | $0 |
| Profit target | $4,000 | $3,000 |
| Max drawdown | $1,750 (end-of-day) | $200 (end-of-day) |
| Daily loss limit | None | $1,000 (soft breach) |
| Max position size | 5 contracts | 3 Mini / 30 Micros |
| Minimum trading days | 2 days minimum | 1 |
| Consistency rule | None | None |
| News trading | Yes | Yes |
| Reset fee | $139 | $109 |
Both evaluations are run by Alpha Futures, bill monthly, charge no activation fee, and permit news trading. Both also carry no consistency rule during the challenge phase itself. From there the two plans diverge sharply on risk parameters.
Where they differ:
Zero is cheaper and needs less profit, but its $200 drawdown makes it a precision plan for traders who scalp small and manage risk tightly; Advanced Plan gives you far more room at a higher price.
| Funded Rule | Advanced Plan $50K | Zero $50K |
|---|---|---|
| Profit split | 90% | 90% |
| Max drawdown | $1,750 (end-of-day) | $2,000 (end-of-day) |
| Consistency rule | None | 40% |
| Minimum trading days | 5 days | 5 |
| Max position size | 5 contracts | 3 Mini / 30 Micros |
| Payout eligibility | 50% of profit per request | 5 winning days of $200+, then 50% of profit at 90-10, must meet consistency |
| Payout cap | $15,000 per request | $1,500 per payout |
| Max allocation | 3 accounts maximum | 5 Accounts |
| Payout methods | ACH, Rise, SWIFT, Wire, Wise | ACH, Rise, SWIFT, Wire, Wise |
Both funded accounts pay a 90% split, require at least 5 trading days, permit news trading (with restrictions on Zero), and share the same five payout rails. The payout mechanics, however, are very different.
Choose Alpha Futures Advanced Plan $50K if you want fewer restrictions and a dramatically higher payout ceiling โ up to $15,000 per request, no funded consistency rule, and 5 contracts of size. You pay for it at $135.85 per month and a tighter $1,750 drawdown throughout.
Choose Alpha Futures Zero $50K if you want to spend less ($77.35 per month) and can trade within a razor-thin $200 evaluation drawdown and a 40% funded consistency rule. Its funded drawdown loosens to $2,000, but payouts are capped at $1,500.
Advanced Plan is the higher-ceiling, fewer-rules choice; Zero is the budget entry that trades cost savings for much tighter risk limits.
Zero is cheaper at $119 per month ($77.35 with code GORILLA) versus Advanced Plan's $209 per month ($135.85 with code GORILLA). Neither charges an activation fee, and Zero's reset is also cheaper at $109 against $139 for Advanced Plan.
Both use an end-of-day drawdown, measured on your closing balance. The evaluation figures are worlds apart: Advanced Plan gives $1,750 of room while Zero allows only $200 during the challenge. Once funded, Advanced Plan stays at $1,750 while Zero eases to $2,000.
Zero has the lower profit target at $3,000 (versus $4,000) and a 1-day minimum (versus 2 days), but its $200 drawdown makes it much harder to survive in practice. For most traders Advanced Plan is easier to actually clear because its $1,750 drawdown gives real breathing room.
Advanced Plan pays more in practice. Both share a 90% split, but Advanced Plan lets you request up to $15,000 per payout with no consistency rule, while Zero caps payouts at $1,500 and enforces a 40% consistency requirement.
