How Does the AlphaLedger Funding Program Work?
The AlphaLedger Funding Program gives proven traders the opportunity to qualify for institutional-scale trading capital based on a verified track record—without starting over in a separate prop-firm challenge.
Instead, you can connect an existing trading account to AlphaLedger and trade as you normally would. The account may be live or demo and can be held with any broker supported by AlphaLedger. We monitor the connected account, calculate your eligibility metrics, and show your progress inside the platform.
Who is eligible to participate?
The Funding Program is available to users on the Basic and Pro plans.
Eligible users will see a Get Funded button in AlphaLedger. Selecting it opens a scrollable eligibility checklist with a progress indicator. Requirements you have completed are highlighted in green and marked with a check on the right. Requirements that are still outstanding remain grey.
The Funding Program application button also remains grey and inactive until every requirement has been completed. Once the full checklist is satisfied, it turns green and you can apply for funding.
What are the eligibility requirements?
Your connected account must meet all of the following requirements:
- Active and connected account for 30 days (Pro) or 90 days (Basic)
- Total Return greater than 10%
- All-time Sharpe Ratio greater than 0.5
- Calmar Ratio greater than 0.5
- Integrity Check completed
The Integrity Check is a manual review conducted by the AlphaLedger team. It helps us validate the account, the underlying trading data, and the credibility of the performance record before an application moves forward.
Your dashboard updates as your account progresses. If a metric later changes, your eligibility status may change with it.
What happens after I become eligible?
Completing the checklist makes you eligible to apply; it does not guarantee approval or funding.
After you submit your application, our team reviews your track record using the standards of a professional proprietary trading operation. This process is supported by our quantitative team, trading-data infrastructure, and independent control and audit processes.
If your application is approved, we will invite you to a live interview. The interview begins the onboarding process and gives both sides an opportunity to discuss your strategy, risk approach, track record, and potential fit with the program.
Successful candidates then proceed to individual contracting and account setup.
How much funding can I receive?
Funding typically starts at USD 100,000 through AlphaLedger's proprietary brokerage infrastructure. Traders who demonstrate sustained performance and disciplined risk management may be considered for scaling, with allocations of up to USD 20 million.
The starting allocation, scaling path, trading conditions, and commercial terms are determined individually. They depend on the trader's profile, strategy, risk characteristics, performance, and the terms of the final agreement.
How is the program different from a traditional prop-firm challenge?
Traditional challenges often require traders to pay for and trade a separate evaluation account under fixed, short-term rules. AlphaLedger takes a different approach: your connected account becomes the basis of the evaluation.
That means you can build a qualifying record at your own broker, on a live or demo account, while AlphaLedger continuously tracks your progress. The objective is not simply to pass a one-time test. It is to identify traders with the skill, discipline, and verified performance needed to manage meaningful capital over the long term.
The program is backed by a Cayman-domiciled fund structure and built to support serious traders with quantitative oversight, robust data infrastructure, and professional review processes. For selected traders, it can provide a path to larger allocations and a long-term career under an individual agreement.
Frequently asked questions
Can I qualify using a demo account?
Yes. Both live and demo accounts can be evaluated, provided the account is successfully connected to AlphaLedger and the required data can be verified.
Do I need to open a new account to complete the challenge?
No separate challenge account is required. You can use an existing compatible trading account connected to AlphaLedger.
Why is my Funding Program button grey?
The button remains grey until every eligibility requirement is complete. Open Get Funded to review the checklist and see which items are still outstanding.
Does completing every requirement guarantee funding?
No. Completing the requirements allows you to apply. Every application remains subject to AlphaLedger's review, approval, live interview, onboarding, and individual contract.
Can my funding allocation increase over time?
Yes. Selected traders may be considered for larger allocations based on sustained performance, risk discipline, strategy capacity, and compliance with their individual agreement. The maximum potential allocation is USD 20 million.
Important: Eligibility criteria, funding availability, allocations, and program terms may change. Participation is subject to review, approval, onboarding, and a signed individual agreement. Nothing in this article constitutes an offer, a guarantee of funding, or investment advice.
