Alpha traders is one of the worst firms…
Alpha traders is one of the worst firms in the prop trading space. This was previously leveled up and now has been aquired by Alpha Traders. All people that had accounts at leveled up are now compulsory to adjust and comply with new rules of the new firm, while this was not communicated before purchasing an account. Furthermore, the supervisors (like Adam) force you to activate your account immediately where you need to comply with a rule of inactivity. You cannot purchase your account and just let it sit there when ready to trade. This makes you force to trade in periods where market environment are more difficult to trade such as December January Holiday seasons, because you need to comply with consistency. The same I can say for when you need to make a trade, while there is no setup available. This prop firm is made to let you fail and give in to your emotions due to the strict and inrealistic rules setting. Than they also work with the biggest influencers and scammers in the trading space such as lambo raul to promote their platform. Also when you are going to purchase a n account the rules of each account are hidden, which is failure to comply with customers best interest and showing transparency to you as consumer. They do have "cheap prices" for their challanges but if you look across the board on other firms, these are regular rates for these account types. They just crank up the price, make it an unrealistic number and say that this is a special offer now for a better price, while rate is the same on other firms. Be very carefull when using this firm as they will not serve you as a trader for them. They are made to destroy you in this high stakes and mentally exhausting environment of trading. They need to serve their customers best interest due to the difficulty already in trading.
An other example is, that My account had title status "breached" while I did not take any trades on it, mean ing they just take away your account as you have breached inactivity rules" another reason.
Than customer support is an AI bot, that cannot help you with anything because you are constantly being set in a loop of Ai robot refferal links
Reply from Alpha Trader Firm
Hello Joshua,
We’re sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
To clarify, Alpha Trader Firm acquired Leveled Up Traders earlier this year, and all accounts from that platform were migrated under our systems and Terms & Conditions. Every trader received a detailed email outlining the transition process, including the new rules, eligibility requirements, and account activation structure. No account rules were changed without prior communication, and the same information remains publicly available in our Terms & Conditions and FAQ.
Regarding account activation and inactivity rules, these policies are standard across the prop trading industry. Activation starts once credentials are issued, and each account must maintain minimum trading activity to ensure consistent performance evaluation. Traders are not required to trade in poor market conditions, but inactivity over extended periods triggers automatic account expiration a policy applied equally to every trader for fairness and risk control.
We also want to assure you that Alpha Trader Firm does not “force” traders into specific conditions or partnerships. Any marketing collaborations are entirely separate from account management or compliance decisions. All payout, breach, and compliance reviews are handled internally by our risk team, not by influencers or external partners.
As for pricing, our challenge fees are competitive and transparent displayed clearly on our website with periodic discounts during promotional campaigns.
Lastly, while our AI assistant helps guide traders to the right resources for faster support, every client can request a live agent at any time for personal assistance via support@thealphatraderfirm.com.
We take all feedback seriously and continuously work to improve both transparency and trader experience. If you’d like our team to review your account history or the inactivity status you mentioned, please reach out directly with your Account ID so we can provide a detailed explanation.
We appreciate your time and hope we can clarify any remaining concerns
