Community Reviews
Swing account is exactly what I needed
Most firms don't let you hold overnight. Alpha's Swing account was built for traders like me and it's worked well.
Denied a payout over a strategy dispute
Had a withdrawal flagged for 'prohibited strategy' after some fast trades. Eventually understood why once I re-read the rulebook, but wish it had been clearer upfront.
NO MAJOR CONCERNS
A minority of Trustpilot reviews describe payout or KYC denials, most tied to detected rule violations (lot-size spikes, ultra-short trade durations, all-or-nothing patterns) rather than arbitrary decisions - this reads as standard rule enforcement rather than a targeting pattern. Note: alphacapitalgroup.uk is the correct official listing; a similarly-named alphacapitalgp.com is an unrelated company. With ~85% five-star reviews, the negative minority looks in line with typical rules-based prop firm feedback.

Rule Change Log
View full log →News-trading and overnight-holding rules clarified by plan
Alpha Capital Group updated its News Trading and Overnight Rules page. Unrestricted news trading is allowed during evaluation on Pro, One, Three, and Swing plans. Post-qualification, restrictions vary: Pro 8%/10% requires trades stay open 2+ minutes either side of news; Pro 6%, One, and Three require 5+ minutes; Swing requires a trade to span more than 2 minutes within a 4-minute window around releases. Overnight holding is allowed on all plans (swap applies); weekend holding is permitted at all stages for Swing/One/Three, while for Pro at the Qualified stage weekend holding is a soft breach (profits removed, account stays active if above drawdown).

Alpha Capital Group's Swing account is a genuine differentiator for overnight traders. Its profit split is lower than some competitors, but denial complaints we found trace back to published rule enforcement rather than arbitrary decisions.
