On evaluation steps it is 2-step on Alpha Pro (6%) and Alpha Swing, versus 1-step on Alpha One, versus 3-step on Alpha Three, versus instant funding on Alpha Direct. Which product you buy decides that rule, not which firm you sign with — a firm-level table cannot show this.

R-multiple is break-even profit divided by that product's own maximum permitted loss — under 1.00 means you can lose more than you need to make to win the fee back. Day count assumes 1% account growth per day, capped by the product's own daily loss limit. Blank cells are figures the firm does not publish.

Rule-by-rule, product by product
Each cell shows every value that firm's current products hold. Where a firm disagrees with itself the products are named — those are the rows a firm-level table has to flatten, and the ones that decide whether your strategy is allowed. 13 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.
