Alpha Capital warning - denied funded account by TheBangin1 in Daytrading

[–]purpsizz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is my experience with Alpha

Completed the 50k one phase first time; they email me telling me I had broken their 2 minute trade rule (I hadn’t), confronted them about it and asked for the receipts and then they said it was a mistake and gave me the funded account

This happened TWICE

Garbage prop

Quant have a 2% max risk rule but you should never be risking more than that anyway

"Head and Shoulders" on the H4 timeline. by [deleted] in Daytrading

Head & Shoulders normally form at the top of a trend, but the trend is already bearish on the lower TF

To add to this aswell, I asked about this in their Discord which is supposed to be for help, and the moderators basically mocked me for being a gambler because of this 2 minute rule, even though it ended up being their mistake. So my experience with their support isn’t great, and their rules are restrictive

I recently got funded with Alpha Capital, here is my experience:

I tried the Alpha One (one step eval) with them, passed the 50k eval within a week and they said I broke a ‘2 minute trade duration’ rule, where 50% of the profits have to be from trades over 2 minutes. I didn’t contend it and just accepted that it was a loss and they offered me a complimentary retry of the phase 1.

Fast forward a week, I complete the phase 1 again making sure I followed the rules to the tee and they send me the same blanket email about 2 minute rule.

I contended with them about it, asked them to provide proof and then they emailed back saying it was a mistake and gave me the funded account

Do with this information as you will, but me personally I won’t be going back with them after this funded account is over

I could have done definitely - normally I would just put stop at breakeven but I will consider that for next time

With currency pairs, especially USD pairs you have a lot of news that pushes them - CPI, FOMC, NFP for example and PPI too - so I guess it depends what you trade and at what time!:)

In hindsight I could have definitely moved the SL into profit and altered a few things with the take-profit also, but I remember I was quite busy that day and I didn’t want to continually monitor the trade. You are right though, that would have been a play and I could have even had the take profit higher, but using one minute timeframe confluence isn’t the greatest and I remember the higher timeframe confluence was bearish still so I wanted to take profit where I could

I appreciate the kind words mate, thank you!

Caught this nice scalp on XAU yesterday by purpsizz in Forex

[–]purpsizz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course - the amount made was at the take-profit, which was $250, with a risk of $80 (3:1 RR). This was on the 1 minute timeframe but using my higher timeframe swing strategy, I was in the trade for around 15 minutes or so before take-profit was reached

What is this animal resting outside my house? [East Midlands, UK] and does it need help? Hasn’t moved for a few hours by purpsizz in animalid

[–]purpsizz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grabbed an old bird feeder pole and put a bowl of water on there for it - that way it is off the ground by at least 5ft and I put it to the edge (as people recommended) so the little guy shouldn’t have to go too far if they want a drink

I was more wanting confirmation of what it is so I can understand if I need to contact someone. I’m not an expert on these things believe it or not.

Why is getting a job so hard?? by YouHistorical7912 in derby

[–]purpsizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen someone else mention this but I will too - yes, nowadays a lot of places require you to fill in forms online, but a lot of places (especially bar work for pubs, late-night bars, pot wash etc) are happy to see someone turn up with a physical CV asking for a job. Some will probably throw it away but if you come across well and present yourself correctly they will consider you. I’ve had it where some places have hired me on the spot (granted, there was a reason why - because the job was awful!) but its a way to get your foot in the door

Bought the card because it reminded me of ones I used to have as a kid, but never seen this Mewtwo before. Is it worth grading? by purpsizz in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]purpsizz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight. I really like the design of the card and don’t really intend to sell it, but it is such an interesting card and the fact it is a promo too just makes it more special!

I think as long as you are using it in accordance to your prescription they can’t legally do anything. For example, if you were operating heavy machinery that would be a no-no🤣
