Aufregung um die britische Proptradingfirma Alpha Futures. Das Unternehmen ist eine Tochter der Alpha Capital Group, die seit 2021 am Markt ist. Neben dem klassischen CFD Business wurde in 2023 die Futures Prop Sparte etabliert, die aktuell für Schlagzeilen sorgt.
Wann gibt es Stress mit Propfirmen? Natürlich immer dann, wenn Payouts versagt oder verzögert werden. Meist ein Indiz dafür, das irgendwo der Baum brennt.
Ninjatrader zog den Stecker
Kurz auf den Punkt gebracht - NInjatrader zog auf typisch amerikanische Weise den Stecker, nachdem Alpha Futures mit einigen Lizenzgebühren im Rückstand war. Diese sind wohl inzwischen ausgeglichen, was jedoch Ninjatrader/Tradovate nicht davon abhielt, die Partnerschaft zu kündigen.
Im Blog von Alpha Futures wird auf die Thematik eingegangen und zu den Payouts Stellung genommen.
Addressing the ex-partner email that went out this evening:
We did not throw any punches at our ex-partner on the way out, unfortunately they have not done the same, and have made an ambiguous statement regarding funds over due.
We were prepared to just split ways but now are forced to provide more insight to the situation that should have been private but has since been made public by our ex-partner.
Alpha raised a dispute with our ex-partner in November 2025 on believing current invoice structure lead to over $2.4M in overcharges. We were not happy with the outcome of the disputes, but settled in cash from Alpha and credits from our ex-partner in Feb 2026.
An amount of $225,700 was left in limbo during this settlement to what we believed to be credit. After all payments were made in cash by Alpha in February 2026, the understanding over the next few months was as long as all invoices were paid in full on time, the partnership would continue, which we have done on every month following (including this month) At this time, all conversations changed to only revolving around AlphaTrader and our ex-partner’s concerns on both platforms co-existing.
All payments have been made on time, the one most recently being $1.2M paid on July 6, 2026. (as shown with proof here in this post) There was no further mention of this additional “outstanding balance” until 30 days ago via email, to which Alpha responded asking for clarity as we believed this amount was part of the credit applied and resolved with the settlement and continued partnership. We received no reply for 25 days until the termination notice sent to us on July 9th last week.
Alpha representatives asked what the path forward was with this requested payment of $225,700 was, to which our ex-partner replied the services would be terminated regardless of the payment being made or not and we would not be able to create accounts on their platform during the next 90 days starting on July 12, 2026. So, per their termination and instructions we removed it from our site that day. To be clear, we have paid all invoices, including the last month in full of $1.2M. Our termination was due to an unhealthy relationship rooted in our development of AlphaTrader as was detailed to us in our termination. The thread below shows further details on invoices and proof of payments.
I'm sure the last few days have been hard for some of you that were on the Premium Plan. We also understand how difficult it is to trade let alone be successful at it.
We did not want to overpromise and underdeliver with the uncertainty we faced this week as a company.
Now that it is officially behind us, and after further talks with our current partners, we want to publicly announce that all of you in “approved for pay” on Premium Plans will be paid. You are currently seeing them as “Premium Pending” in dash.
This was always the plan, but with the unfortunate turn of events with our ex partner last week and the issues on the Premium Plan, the fairest way to address Premium Plan users in that moment was to issue refunds. Zero & Advanced Account payouts will be back to the same day as of tomorrow and those Premium Account payouts WILL be made in batches.
The first batch which equates to 10% of outstanding Premium Account payouts have been made today. We will be contacting the rest of you directly via email to make sure timelines are communicated effectively.
Active Premium Account users are still receiving refunds as well, that has not changed.
All of you that have continued to choose Alpha and trading here, we cannot thank you enough for your support in these unusual times and very glad to get back to our typical service with you. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and for sticking by Alpha.
Für uns Kunden ist die Seite von Payoutjunction immer ein gutes Indiz und Orientierung, ob die Firmen denn auch tatsächlich zahlen. Orientierung nur deshalb, da dort ja nur die Zahlungsströme per RISE ausgewertet sind. Karussellgeschäfte kann man nicht filtern, siehe auch die Story um Fast Track Trading vor einiger Zeit.
Wie ihr jedoch der Statistik der letzten Tage entnehmen könnt, ist der Hahn nicht zugedreht.
Was sagt der Experte zur Entwicklung bei Alpha Futures?
Wenn ich sage Experte, dann meine ich auch Experte. Also nicht irgendein Influencer oder Affiliate, sondern ein Mann vom Fach.
Im Unterschied zu vielen US Anbietern muss man bei Alpha Futures nicht raten, sondern kann auf öffentlich zugängliche Unternehmensdaten zugreifen. Dies hat Christoph getan und natürlich mit seiner eigenen langjährigen Expertise als Ninjatrader Experte und Propfirmgründer verbunden.
Es wirft vor allem auch ein Blick auf die Abhängigkeiten und den geschäftlichen Umgang in diesem Business.
Wie es dort weiter geht, wird man sehen. Ich selbst kann mir dazu aus eigener Erfahrung kein Urteil erlauben, da ich die Firma seit Beginn gemieden habe. Man kann jedoch an dieser Liason von Alpha Futures mit Ninjatrader sehr gut erkennen, woher der Wind auch bei vielen Wettbewerbern weht, die eben nicht mehr Tradovate anbieten oder anbieten können.
Es geht schlicht um die Kohle, die Ninjatrader aka Tradovate nimmt, die auch erstmal verdient werden muss.
Conclusion:
Wenn Du einen Blick hinter die Kulissen des Proptradinggeschäftes werfen und Zusammenhänge erkennen möchtest, dann nimm Dir 20 Minutenh Zeit und sehe Dir das Video von IQ Capital Gründer Christoph Radecker an.
Bei der Gelegenheit blieb noch zu erwähnen, dass die Sommeraktion von IQ Capital heute Nacht endet. Wenn Du also da noch profitieren möchtest - hier geht es zu IQ Capital.
