The mystery shopper assessment is general. There were no purchases of challenges, trading on a demo account, trading on simulation accounts, or withdrawal of funds. We recommend paying attention to those companies where the mystery shopper has performed a more in-depth check of the propcompany.

Allowed, but under certain conditions. Traders can use external accounts as master accounts, provided they personally own them.

Negative Reviews Online
There are user reviews online mentioning issues during the KYC procedure.
Another example of critical feedback about the company concerns delays in providing a funded account to the trader.
Opinion of the Mystery Shopper
Alpha Capital Group is a London-based company that can be classified as one of the younger players in the prop trading industry. It’s only in its fourth year on the market, but it has already made an impression on traders. Online, you can find both positive feedback and criticism. The advantages include rather attractive cooperation terms — such as low profit targets traders are required to meet, and no strict time limits during the challenge stages. Also worth noting is the opportunity to test the company through a Free Trial and the availability of an educational program for traders. The company is criticized for its overly complex and tightly regulated rules, as well as for a relatively small list of trading instruments. It is more suitable for traders with moderate strategies and strong discipline — those who prefer to trade without time pressure.
Would you recommend this company?
I haven’t come across negative reviews about Alpha Capital Group in trader communities, but there are public complaints related to difficulties in passing the KYC procedure. The decision to cooperate with this company is entirely up to you. Personally, I haven’t taken their challenge yet, but if I do — I’ll definitely share my experience and update the status.

Reviews
As a trader working with Alpha Capital Group, I would like to share my positive experience with this prop trading company.
One of the key advantages of the company is its transparency and openness.
The company provides its traders with access to a variety of trading instruments, including currency pairs, commodities, and indices. Trading is conducted through the MetaTrader 5 platform, ensuring stability and convenience. Additionally, Alpha Capital Group offers educational materials and support, which is especially beneficial for beginners in the trading industry.
The company has a community in Discord. When I bought the challenge, I joined. There are traders with a lot of experience and knowledge. In the community you can ask a question and you will always get an answer. This is great and a good decision by the company. Thank you.
