Alpha Futures vs FundedNext Futures: prop firm rules compared

One day may then carry at most $1,000 of a $2,500 target and $1,600 of a $4,000 target. Alpha Futures' Zero plan and FundedNext Futures' Rapid Pro and Rapid Daily plans apply no consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full.
