FundedNext vs Alpha Capital: The New Kings?

FundedNext and Alpha Capital Group are the two best firms to emerge in the last 3 years. They both offer proprietary tech (no MetaQuotes reliance) and incredibly competitive conditions.

The "Unique Selling Point" (USP)

Alpha Capital Group:

• USP: 0.0 Pip Spreads.
• Alpha's "ACG Markets" broker feed is truly raw. On EURUSD, you often see zero spread. This is a scalper's dream.

FundedNext:

• USP: 15% Profit Share from Challenge.
• Even if you are in the evaluation phase, if you make a profit, they bank 15% of it for you. You get it with your first live payout. This is huge.

Tech Stack

• Alpha: ACG Markets (cTrader / Match-Trader). Custom, fast, very low latency.
• FundedNext: GrowthNext (MT5 / cTrader / Match-Trader). Reliable, massive infrastructure.

Rules

Alpha allows HFT (for passing) on some legacy options, but generally focuses on legit scalping. FundedNext has the Stellar program (No Time Limit, News Allowed, Balance Based Drawdown).

Verdict

It comes down to your style. Are you a Scalper? Go Alpha Capital. The 0.0 spread saves you money on every trade.

Are you a Swing/Day Trader? Go FundedNext. The "Profit Share from Challenge" is essentially a 15% cashback on your skills.
