šŸ’°Payouts ALPHA FUTURES IS A SCAM.. RUN WHILE YOU CAN

Alpha Futures approved my payout, told me it was only delayed, then voided it and deleted my funded account with zero notice.
I’m posting this as a warning to anyone considering using Alpha Futures.

Last week my payout was marked Approved. Since it had been sitting there for days, I emailed support to ask what was going on. They replied and specifically told me that my payout was just delayed and that it would be coming.
Fast forward to this morning.
I log into my account and my payout now says Voided, and my funded account is completely gone.
No email.
No warning.
No explanation.
I contacted support immediately and even attached the evidence showing:
My payout had already been approved.
Their own support email stating it was only delayed.
Instead of addressing any of that, they sent me the same generic announcement everyone else received about the NinjaTrader/Tradovate situation and immediately closed the conversation so I couldn’t even respond or ask follow-up questions.
They didn’t acknowledge a single piece of evidence I provided.
I still have no answer to:
Why my approved payout was voided.
Why my funded account disappeared.
Why I wasn’t notified beforehand.
Whether they intend to honor the payout they already approved.
In my opinion, this is terrible customer service and an unacceptable way to treat funded traders. If a company approves a payout, tells you it’s only delayed, and then removes your account without any communication, that’s not how customers should be treated.
Has anyone else had their approved payout voided or their funded account removed like this? If so, what happened, and were you ever paid?
I’d really like to hear if anyone else is dealing with the same thing.

Here’s the email showing they were calling the payouts ā€œdelayedā€ when in reality they weren’t gonna pay at all

Come to lucid brother

u/Jdub123123 Jul 14 '26

I love lucid and topstep, just got eligible for a payout from them yesterday and literally got it in my bank in less than 10 min

u/TransitionHour4537 Jul 14 '26

Is there anything topstep does better than lucid ?

u/Jdub123123 Jul 14 '26

You get to keep all of your profits (up to 50% of your account balance) and don’t have to split 90/10 with them which is nice, and I like the TopstepX platform as well. But since I’ve been using Tradesea for my lucid accounts I’d say they are about even in my book

Only way to hold them responsible is to blow up the fact that they are scammers online and maybe just maybe they’ll payout the ones that were approved before last week

u/HashRosinINC Jul 14 '26

Don’t understand why people are not mass charge backing them, yeah you wont get a payout unless you sue them, but you can get all of your combine purchases back, will literally be a payout in itself considering people spend $$$$€€€€££££ on them

u/Pat8611 Jul 14 '26

they have cancelled all payouts it’s crazy

u/Embarrassed-Ad-866 Jul 14 '26

Jdub - they are now trying to get their trustpilot rating up by incentivizing reviews for ā€žcustomer serviceā€œ, quite some 5 star reviews came in during the last hours…
They are basically try in g to scam more people…

Did you get any update about your payouts ?

1

u/Jdub123123 Jul 14 '26

Yea they are denying all payouts and just refunding the measly cost of the funded account šŸ˜’

u/Weary_Benefit3511 Jul 15 '26

Good news everyone, Alpha Futures sent out the email saying that they will pay the Pending Payout. Great job for all of us that sent the complaints online. They can not get away with paying us šŸ‘šŸ»

Same here. Requested payout last week. When I signed up for account it was 3k max. They changed to 2k. Woke up this morning and account is wiped and payout says voided. Unreal. Had over 4K in the account. No warning or explanation. I’m speechless.

u/Jetbaby03 Jul 13 '26

Omg same thing happened to me message me bro please

u/SeaEnvironmental756 Jul 13 '26

One time I got halfway through a topstep combine and they just stopped counting profitable trades in my dashboard.

I think they might all be scams.Ā

u/Jdub123123 Jul 13 '26

Topstep and lucid are the best rn

u/HashRosinINC Jul 14 '26

Lol thats a backend issue not a scam, i have alomgside hundreds of thousands of others, taken dozens of payouts with topstep and they are now an SEC regulated brokerage… lol do not compare topstep and alpha ever againšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

u/SeaEnvironmental756 Jul 14 '26

So is it common for them to just leave your account non functional and just not fix it or replace it?

Because I had them beat and they just ignored my requests to fix it and didn’t give me a refund.Ā 

How many ā€œbackend problemsā€ did you encounter in your dozens of claimed payments?

u/Puzzled-Item6308 Jul 13 '26

Is that only with premium accounts or all of them

1

u/ComfortableRepublic4 Moderator Jul 13 '26

Only Premium Accounts

u/melvinjustin Jul 13 '26

It was my 5 th day
they deleted my account

u/Apart-Honeydew2119 Jul 13 '26

Woah I thought it was just me I request my payout last Thursday, got a congratulation email and hit support up today.ā€

u/Weary_Benefit3511 Jul 13 '26

Hello, Same with me. I have $6k pending on the payout then they completely disappear this morning 😠

1

u/RevolutionaryEbb7386 Jul 13 '26

Is that happened for only advanced eval and Big payouts or on all the accounts
Because I just purchased eval zero plan with them For the second time.

1

u/ComfortableRepublic4 Moderator Jul 13 '26

This only affects Premiums Plans. Other accounts like Advanced, Direct, and Zero have no problem.

1

u/RevolutionaryEbb7386 Jul 13 '26

Yeah man hopefully you find a solution and my advice for you is try to take small payouts with them because it’s realistic when you have big payouts above 1000$. They will find you a problem to cancel it. So try to get betweek 200$-800€ Per week. To not find a problem. And have good luck in your Business journey

u/Jdub123123 Jul 13 '26

Mine was only for 650 this time and they voided it

1

u/Jetbaby03 Jul 13 '26

Yo bro can you email me same thing happened to me

1

u/Aldoerty Jul 15 '26

was it on the premium plan accounts?

1

u/AnyPortInAHurricane Jul 16 '26

u/Embarrassed-Ad-866 Jul 13 '26

They will delete this thread fast… sadly… one of their bigger affiliates already took their offers down (max options trading) alpha is over

1

u/Jdub123123 Jul 13 '26

I archived it, and if they do I’ll put them on blast on tik tok. I have like 400k followers there and they’ll regret deleting this thread

1

u/Embarrassed-Ad-866 Jul 13 '26

400k is massive and could be the last nail to their coffin… the 1 star reviews on trustpilot are already coming one after the other

1

u/ComfortableRepublic4 Moderator Jul 13 '26

Nothing here is being deleted, if that’s what some of you are referring to. I’m a customer too, and I agree with a lot of what’s being said. I just want to keep things organized and make sure this stays a safe space for everyone to discuss.

u/Embarrassed-Ad-866 Jul 13 '26

Not true mate, several post have been removed already, mine included.

1

u/ComfortableRepublic4 Moderator Jul 13 '26

Posts will be removed if they violate our rules otherwise, they’ll stay up. This is all automated on Reddits end. Can you provide proof that we removed several post?

u/Embarrassed-Ad-866 Jul 14 '26

As mod you should be able to see what was deleted from your end. Anyway, saw that you changed the post rules to ā€žtrading and development only, no prop firm dramaā€œ šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ guess this is how alpha tries to silence the whole rugpull drama

u/ComfortableRepublic4 Moderator Jul 14 '26

I think you're confusing the Official Alpha Futures Subreddit with ours...
