Can you copy trades between your own Alpha Capital Group accounts?
Alpha Capital's help centre allows copying between your own Alpha accounts, or from your own external account, on MT5 after you email support the account numbers; its Terms only mention copying from an external account, so confirm with Alpha first.
“Copy trading between two Alpha Capital Group accounts, or using an Alpha Capital Group account as a Master, is allowed; however, we still require you to provide the Master and Slave account numbers before copy trading begins.”

Alpha Capital Group copy-trading rules
Copying between your own accounts
Help centre: allowed between two Alpha accounts, using an Alpha account as master, or from your own external account (other prop firms or brokers) as master. Conditions: email support with master and slave account numbers before starting (plus account number, investor password and server for an external master to prove ownership); only one master at a time; not possible on cTrader, DX Trade or TradeLocker. CONFLICT: Terms clause 9.1.5 says the only copying allowed is from your own external account to your Alpha account.
“Copy trading between two Alpha Capital Group accounts, or using an Alpha Capital Group account as a Master, is allowed; however, we still require you to provide the Master and Slave account numbers before copy trading begins.”
Context and other wording
CONFLICT with Terms and Conditions (https://alphacapitalgroup.uk/terms-and-conditions, archive http://web.archive.org/web/20261013212829/https://alphacapitalgroup.uk/terms-and-conditions), clause 9.1.5: "the only copy trading allowed is that from your own external account to your Alpha Account." Terms clause 9.1.8 says Schedule 3 rules 'may be updated from time to time on our Site', which may be how the help centre extends this, but the Terms text itself was not updated. Same help article: "Traders can engage in copy trading using their external accounts as a Master. To authorise this activity, we require proof of ownership of the account from which you intend to copy."; "Only one account can serve as a Master at any given time."; "Please note that copy trading on or from cTrader, DX Trade, and TradeLocker accounts is not possible at this time."; and if an external master account expires or becomes inactive so trades cannot be verified, "it will constitute a breach." Funded (Qualified Analyst) accounts are also limited by the $300,000 per-asset allocation rule (see capitalCap), so copying the same asset across funded accounts above $300,000 combined would breach it.

Copying other traders or signals
Not allowed: copying other groups or fellow traders, and trading from signals, count as prohibited group trading; account management services are not allowed.
“Engaging in copy trading from other groups, or duplicating trades from fellow traders, is strictly prohibited at Alpha Capital Group.”
Context and other wording
Signals article (https://help.alphacapitalgroup.uk/en/articles/7060898-can-i-pass-using-someone-s-signals): "Trading based on signals is considered group trading, which is prohibited within our operational guidelines." Prohibited strategies article: "Additionally, account management services are not allowed: all accounts and trades must be handled by the trader whose name is on the account." The EA article adds that multiple traders using the same EA and placing identical trades counts as group trading.

Copiers the firm names as banned
Not stated. No copier product is named as banned or approved.
Context and other wording
The firm's copy-trading page (the source) does not mention this. Downloaded all ~70 articles in the help-centre collections listed on https://help.alphacapitalgroup.uk/en/ plus https://alphacapitalgroup.uk/terms-and-conditions and searched for 'copy', 'copier', 'EA'. No product names found.

Cloud copiers vs VPS or local copiers
Not stated. The copy-trading article does not say which copier type to use or whether a copier must go through the EA pre-approval process. VPS use is allowed only with a static dedicated IP and prior email notice naming the accounts. EAs on MT5 are limited to pre-approved trade-management tools; automated EAs that execute trades independently are prohibited.
Context and other wording
The firm's copy-trading page (the source) does not mention this. IP rule article (https://help.alphacapitalgroup.uk/en/articles/8420522-what-is-the-ip-rule-are-vpns-and-vpss-allowed): "You are allowed to use a VPN or VPS, as long as the following conditions are met:" followed by 'It must have a static dedicated IP address.' and a requirement to email support first, stating the accounts involved. EA article (https://help.alphacapitalgroup.uk/en/articles/6934236-can-i-use-an-expert-advisor-ea): "Automated EAs that execute trades independently, without human oversight, are strictly prohibited and will not be approved under any circumstances." Whether a trade copier counts as such an EA is not addressed; the copy article only requires the master and slave account numbers to be provided first.

Capital cap across copied accounts
Funded (Qualified Analyst) accounts: maximum $400,000 per household across Pro, Swing, One, Three and Direct, and $300,000 per strategy, where strategy means the traded asset. You cannot trade the same asset (or correlated assets with the same simultaneous entries and exits) across funded accounts totalling more than $300,000. Evaluations are not capped.
“For Qualified Analysts, we maintain a maximum allocation of $400,000 per household. Please note that we have a $300,000 limit per strategy; we define "strategy" as the assets themselves.”
Context and other wording
The fetched article is dated July 6, 2026; the Wayback capture (May 2026) predates it. Same article: "If you have account #1 ($200,000, qualified) and account #2 ($200,000, qualified), and you trade XAUUSD on account #1, you must NEVER trade XAUUSD on account #2, even if it is on a different day, week, and so on." and "If a breach of this rule is identified, all accounts will be closed and will no longer be eligible for profit withdrawals." Terms clause 9.1.3 matches: "For Qualified Analyst accounts, the maximum total allocation per household is $400,000, with a maximum allocation of $300,000 per strategy (defined as the specific traded asset);". Merging funded accounts is capped at $300,000.

Maximum accounts
Unlimited evaluation accounts; multiple funded accounts allowed within the $400,000 household and $300,000 per-asset allocation limits. A pass that would take you above $400,000 funded may be refunded instead.
“Evaluation & Verification accounts have no maximum allocation. You can purchase as many accounts as you like.”
Context and other wording
Terms clause 9.1.3: "Analysts may hold multiple active accounts." Same help article: "If, at the qualifying stage, a trader is found to have passed an evaluation that would bring their total qualified allocation above $400,000, we reserve the right to refund this account."

Shared device, IP, VPN or VPS
Multiple users may not operate accounts through the same IP. VPN/VPS only with a static dedicated IP and prior email notice naming the accounts; without notice, accounts may be closed with a possible permanent ban. Household members may share an IP only after notifying support. Masking IPs or the trade 'Reason' field is prohibited.
“We do not allow multiple users to operate accounts through the same IP address.”
Context and other wording
Same article: "Using a VPN or VPS without prior notification will be flagged by our security systems and will lead to account closure and a potential permanent ban." and "Using IP masking, or masking the "Reason" field of your trades on the platform (the field on trading platforms that shows whether a trade was placed from a desktop computer, a mobile device or an Expert Advisor), is also prohibited." The 'Reason' field rule is directly relevant to copiers, which place trades flagged as Expert Advisor trades.

Opposite positions across accounts
Hedging within one account is allowed; hedging across two Alpha accounts is prohibited, and correlated instruments may be considered.
“Hedging across two Alpha Capital Group accounts is also considered a prohibited strategy.”
Context and other wording
Same article: "For the purpose of analysing cross-account hedging, correlated instruments may be considered." Prohibited strategies also list 'Reverse trading/group hedging'.

Risk rules a copier must respect
A copier places trades on every follower account, so each account's own limits apply. These are the rules for the Alpha Capital Group programmes we checked.
Alpha One (1-Step; 6%, 10% and 12% variants)
- Daily loss limit
Of the higher of balance or equity at the daily reset: One 6% = 3% in evaluation and 4% on Qualified; One 10% = 4%; One 12% = 5%. Resets 00:00 GMT+2 (broker time). Breach is measured on live equity.
“The starting balance and equity refer to the account balance and equity at the end of the trading day/beginning of the daily candle (broker time), which is 00:00 GMT+2.”
Context and other wording
Same article: "Alpha One 10% - Based on balance or equity, whichever is greater: 4%" and "Alpha One 6% - Based on balance or equity, whichever is greater: 3% during Evaluation / 4% on Qualified". Whether GMT+2 shifts to GMT+3 in summer is not stated. The article showed 'Updated this week' when fetched.
Source: help.alphacapitalgroup.ukChecked 5 Nov 2026Archived copy
- Maximum drawdown
Trailing from the high-water mark (highest balance): One 6% = 4%, One 10% = 6%, One 12% = 8%; stops trailing once it reaches the initial balance
“Max Drawdown (trailing per high water-mark*): 6%”
Context and other wording
Quoted line is for the One 10% plan. Same article: "*Definition of high water-mark: maximum account balance achieved on the account." Max total loss article (https://help.alphacapitalgroup.uk/en/articles/6934220-what-is-the-maximum-total-loss) lists One 6%: 4%, One 10%: 6%, One 12%: 8%.

- Profit target
6%, 10% or 12% (chosen at checkout), single phase; minimum 1 trading day

One 12% is offered up to $100k only. No Wayback capture found for the product page (archive.org availability API returned none).
Source: alphacapitalgroup.ukChecked 5 Nov 2026
- News trading
Evaluation: news trading allowed. Qualified: no opening or closing trades (including SL/TP or pending orders) on targeted instruments from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after listed high-impact releases; a triggered SL/TP in the window is a soft breach with profit removed.
“On our Qualified Analyst Pro / One / Three / Direct accounts, you are NOT permitted to execute any new trades or close existing trades on the targeted instruments (as listed in the table) within the window of 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the release of the news announcements below.”
Context and other wording
Same article: "During the evaluation phases, you can trade freely during all news releases." INCONSISTENCY: the Alpha One plan article lists the 5-minute window under 'Additional Features' without saying it applies only to Qualified accounts. CPI, FOMC and NFP restrict all instruments.

- Minimum hold time
Average trade duration must exceed 2 minutes, and at least 50% of profits must come from trades held longer than 2 minutes (applies to all accounts)
“We require the average duration of all your trades to be greater than 2 minutes.”
Context and other wording
Same article: "At least 50% of your gross generated profits (profits above the initial account balance) for qualified accounts, or total targeted profits for evaluations, must come from trades that exceed 2 minutes."

“Alpha Pro, Swing, One, and Three: 40%”
Context and other wording
Quote is a list item under: "This rule states that no single trading day should contribute more than a set percentage of the total generated profits. This percentage depends on your plan:". Gambling policy also flags big lot-size changes compared with the account average.

“Max lot exposure is the total combined lots/position size allowed at any one time on the account.”
Context and other wording
Fetched article dated July 21, 2026; Wayback capture (16 Jul 2026) predates it. Evaluation article (https://help.alphacapitalgroup.uk/en/articles/6934287-is-there-a-lot-size-limit-during-the-evaluation): "There are no maximum lot size limits during the evaluations." Max Risk Rule article (https://help.alphacapitalgroup.uk/en/articles/15888623-what-is-the-max-risk-rule-and-how-does-it-work): "This rule applies to Qualified Accounts only. It takes effect for accounts purchased after the announcement date of 21/07/2026; accounts acquired before this date are not subject to it." Position spamming (3+ positions each within 60 seconds of the previous one for one trade idea) is prohibited, which matters for copiers that split orders.

How CopyTrade.pro will handle Alpha Capital Group
Planned: MVP
- Detect that an account is with Alpha Capital Group from its broker server name, and show this page's copy rules in the app with the same sources and check dates.
- Let you set hard limits on each follower (daily loss, maximum lot size, maximum open trades) so a copy is skipped rather than placed when it would break them.
- Warn you before you turn on reverse copy, because opposite positions across accounts break many firms' rules.
CopyTrade.pro will not decide for you whether Alpha Capital Group allows your setup. If the rules above say no, or are unclear, ask Alpha Capital Group in writing before you copy.

What we couldn't confirm

- Whether a trade copier must go through EA pre-approval or counts as a prohibited 'automated EA'. Not addressed.
- Whether trade copying is possible on Alpha Direct, where EAs are disabled. Not addressed.
- Whether a cloud copier's server IP counts as a VPS that must be a static dedicated IP pre-notified to support. Not addressed.

- Whether a best-day rule applies to bi-weekly payout accounts. Not stated.
Alpha Capital Group questions
Can I copy trades between my own Alpha Capital accounts?
The help centre says yes: copying between two Alpha accounts, or from your own external account, is allowed on MT5 if you email support the master and slave account numbers before starting, with only one master at a time. However, the Terms say the only copying allowed is from your own external account to your Alpha account, so confirm with Alpha support first.
Can I copy the same trades onto several funded Alpha accounts?
Only within the allocation rules: funded accounts are capped at $400,000 per household and $300,000 per strategy, where strategy means the asset traded. Trading the same asset on funded accounts totalling over $300,000 breaches the rule, and Alpha says all accounts will then be closed.
Can I copy a signal provider or another trader into Alpha Capital?
No. Copying other groups or fellow traders, and trading from signals, are classed as group trading and are prohibited.
Can I run my Alpha accounts on a VPS?
Only if the VPS has a static dedicated IP and you email support before using it, naming the accounts involved. Using a VPN or VPS without notice can lead to account closure and a possible permanent ban.
Can I hedge between two Alpha Capital accounts?
No. Hedging across two Alpha accounts is prohibited, and correlated instruments may be taken into account.
