Alpha Futures and trade copiers: what the rules allow

By Kenten Kronemann (Kenny Trades) · Last updated

TL;DR: as of our last check (August 1, 2026), Alpha Futures lets only the named account holder copy trades across their own accounts by hand, and prohibits automated, group and reverse copying. Trading Floor is an automated copier, so we don't recommend connecting Alpha Futures accounts to it unless Alpha confirms in writing that your setup is allowed. Rules change: verify Alpha's current rules first.

What Alpha's rules say

Alpha Futures' help center, summarised in our prop-firm copy-trading rules table, allows copying only when the named account holder executes the trades across their own accounts, and strictly prohibits automated, group and reverse copying. A copier that places the follower orders for you is automated copying.

What that means for Trading Floor

Trading Floor places follower orders automatically from a leader account. On Alpha Futures accounts that is the kind of copying their rules prohibit, and breaking a firm rule can cost an account or a payout. The software can reach the platforms Alpha's accounts run on (Tradovate and Rithmic-based stacks — verify your account's platform); whether you may use it there is Alpha's call, not ours.

Firms that do allow copiers

Most futures prop firms allow copying between accounts you own, with limits such as account caps and same-direction rules: see the rules, firm by firm, and our pages for Apex, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify and all firms.

Frequently asked

Can I use a trade copier on Alpha Futures accounts?

Not an automated one, under Alpha's rules as of August 1, 2026: only the named account holder may copy across their own accounts, by hand, and automated, group and reverse copying are prohibited. Trading Floor is an automated copier, so check Alpha's current rules, or ask their support in writing, before connecting an Alpha account.

Does Trading Floor connect to the platforms Alpha Futures uses?

Technically yes: Alpha Futures accounts run on Tradovate and Rithmic-based platform stacks, which Trading Floor connects (verify your account's platform). Whether Alpha allows an automated copier on them is a separate question, and as of our last check its rules prohibit it.
