Alpha Futures review
Excellent paper terms voided by the July 2026 payout rug — counterparty risk is disqualifying
Verdict: avoid
Confirmed payout-voiding event July 12, 2026 (including Nikita's own $884.79); delisted by major aggregators; platform vendor pulled. Counterparty risk is disqualifying regardless of paper terms.
The verdict
This Alpha Futures review is based on the firm's current rulebook, payout policy and reputation record as of August 2026 — scored the same way we score all 16 firms we track.
On paper, top-tier terms: 90/10, EOD drawdown that locks at breakeven, payouts up to 4x/month, $0 activation. Irrelevant — on 2026-07-12 Alpha killed its Premium plan and voided pending earned payouts (Nikita's $884.79 included), lost NinjaTrader/Tradovate/TradingView the same day, and was delisted by both major aggregators. A firm that cancelled approved payouts once carries real risk of doing it again. Extract anything left; buy nothing.
