Does Alpha Futures Have a Daily Loss Limit?
Rules verified 2026-07-09 · official source
No. Alpha Futures has no daily loss limit — the end-of-day trailing max drawdown is the only loss line. That's simpler, but it means one bad day can spend the ENTIRE account's room.
What limits you instead
Without a daily cap, the only line is the trailing end-of-day (moves only when a day closes at a new high) max drawdown of $2,000 (on the 50K Premium). Nothing stops you from losing all of it before lunch.
That's why disciplined traders impose their OWN daily stop when trading Alpha Futures — the firm won't do it for them. TradersGuild lets you track a personal daily budget alongside the firm's real lines.
| Plan | Max drawdown (only line) |
|---|---|
| 50K Premium | $2,000 |
| 100K Premium | $3,000 |
How traders actually breach it
The classic blowup on no-daily-limit firms is a single tilted session that spends weeks of careful trading in an afternoon. The firm's line doesn't care that it was one bad day.
TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "$180 of daily-loss room left" beats finding out from a breach email. Tracking is free for your first account.

FAQ
Does Alpha Futures have a daily loss limit?
No. The trailing end-of-day (moves only when a day closes at a new high) max drawdown is the only loss line.
Is no daily loss limit safer?
It's simpler, not safer: with no forced daily stop, one uncontrolled session can consume the account's entire drawdown budget. Impose your own daily cap.
Do open positions count against the drawdown?
Yes — evaluation is on equity, so unrealized losses can trigger a breach even if you never close the trade.
