How does the calculator count Alpha Capital Group's daily loss?

According to the Alpha Capital Group help center read on 2026-10-10, on Alpha Pro 8%, Alpha Pro 10% and Alpha Swing it is a share of the balance at the start of the day (00:00 GMT+3), without the previous day's floating profit or loss; on Alpha Pro 6%, of the higher of the balance or equity.

What does Alpha Capital Group count as a trading day?

According to the Alpha Capital Group help center read on 2026-10-10, a day on which a trade is opened and closed, and each phase asks for 3 days. The calculator counts every day with trades as a trading day; with your real history, the report counts every day with a non-zero return and may count more days than the firm.

What it computes and assumes

Each synthetic day has your trades per day; across them, the share that wins your average win is your win rate and the rest lose your average loss. With decimals, some days have one more trade than others so the average is yours.
The report's simulator resamples those days and checks every daily close: first the daily limit, then the total one and last the target with the minimum days. Every day with trades counts as a trading day, even when it nets zero.
Every win and loss has the average size: no tails, slippage, costs or intraday floating loss. Real losses vary, so with a real history the limits are usually hit more often.
Trades are independent: no streaks longer than chance.
The rules are those each firm posted on the date shown; they may have changed.
We keep your figures in no database or file; since they travel in the link, the server's access log may hold the address requested. It is a calculation with declared figures, not an audit or a forecast.

With your real history

With your real history, the simulator uses your actual days, the floating loss at each daily close and the costs: upload your file. The report resamples your own days with the firm's rules, compares the published firms and tries the sizes.
