Our verdict
Data-driven comparison · checked Aug 11, 2026
We track 5 Alpha Capital products and 3 from TradeDay that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate, last verified 2026-08-11. These firms sell different instruments — Alpha Capital runs CFD products and TradeDay runs futures — so treat the tables below as a fit comparison, not a like-for-like price race. Alpha Capital offers USD one-time; TradeDay offers USD monthly at this tier. No currency-and-billing class appears on both sides, so we neither convert currencies nor rank a recurring floor against a fixed total.

Product-level: Alpha Capital vs TradeDay
The table above compares the two firms. This one compares the products you actually buy — 8 of them, each with its own price, split, drawdown rule and source date.
We track 5 Alpha Capital products and 3 from TradeDay that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate, last verified 2026-08-11. These firms sell different instruments — Alpha Capital runs CFD products and TradeDay runs futures — so treat the tables below as a fit comparison, not a like-for-like price race.
Alpha Capital offers USD one-time; TradeDay offers USD monthly at this tier. No currency-and-billing class appears on both sides, so we neither convert currencies nor rank a recurring floor against a fixed total.
Alpha Capital's own products disagree on 13 terms. 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.

Dated changes affecting these firms
TradeDayOpen watch
TradeDay disagrees on Fast Pass days and a payout cap
The comparison leaves the minimum-day field unknown and does not choose a disputed 100K cap. Confirm both rules for the exact account before purchase or payout.
TradeDayOpen watch
TradeDay monthly prices were tied to a 55%-off promotion
Treat the table price as a dated promotional snapshot. Recheck the first month, renewal, and reset totals before paying.
Alpha CapitalOpen watch
Alpha Capital disagrees on Alpha One payout schedules
Confirm whether the purchased Alpha One account offers a 14-day cycle, on-demand requests or both before planning cash flow.
Alpha CapitalOpen watch
Alpha Capital's own pages disagree on a 25K Pro price
The $137 figure is retained only for the explicitly labelled 6% product. Verify the selected target and final checkout total before purchase.
Alpha CapitalOpen watch
Alpha One prices do not identify the rule variant
Confirm the selected variant, its target, drawdown, account-size ceiling and final fee before paying; do not assume the stored fee buys the 10% rule set.
