📊 Trader Score Rule (Funded Accounts Only)

At Alpha Trader Firm, we use a performance-based metric called the Trader Score to help evaluate the sustainability and quality of a trader’s results — especially before any withdrawals are approved.

This is not a consistency rule. It’s a risk-control filter that ensures traders aren’t profiting from one lucky day, but rather showing balanced, repeatable performance over time.


✅ What Is the Trader Score?

The Trader Score tracks how much of your total realized profit came from your highest single-day gain.

  • A lower score means your profits were spread out across multiple days

  • A higher score suggests your results are overly dependent on one big trading day


🧮 Trader Score Formula

Trader Score = (Highest Single-Day Profit ÷ Total Realized Profit) × 100

Example:

Account Size: $100,000
Highest Profit Day: $4,000
Total Realized Profit: $14,000
→ Trader Score = (4,000 ÷ 14,000) × 100 = 28.57%

This means 28.57% of your profits came from a single day — which is acceptable for some funded accounts.


📌 Minimum Trader Score Requirements (Funded Accounts Only)

To qualify for a withdrawal, your Trader Score must be at or below the following thresholds:

Account Type

Max Allowed Trader Score

2-Step Funded Accounts

30%

1-Step Funded Accounts

30%

Instant Funding Accounts

20%

If your Trader Score is too high, you’ll need to continue trading and smooth out your profit curve before requesting a payout.


⚠️ Important Notes

  • Trader Score applies only to funded accounts.

  • It is not enforced during challenge or evaluation phases

  • Once a payout is approved, your Trader Score resets to 100%

  • There are no restrictions on trading frequency, style, or profit targets — only how your profits are distributed over time


🤔 Is This a Consistency Rule?

No.
Unlike traditional consistency rules that restrict daily or weekly profit limits, the Trader Score gives you freedom to trade your way.

You can:

  • Take large wins

  • Trade aggressively

  • Use flexible strategies

As long as your profits aren’t concentrated in one spike — you’re good.


💡 Why This Rule Matters

The Trader Score encourages sustainable, repeatable trading habits — not random, high-risk wins.
It ensures that payouts go to traders who’ve demonstrated measured skill, not just one-off luck.

This rule helps protect both the firm and traders who are building real, long-term trading success.
