Alpine Pass is designed to support long-term traders - not eliminate them after one mistake.
There are no hard breaches
Your account stays active at all times
The rules below are in place to encourage consistent, professional trading.
What happens if I break a rule?
Breaking a rule does not close your account.
Instead, it results in a violation.
A violation means:
Your account remains active
You can continue trading
Your payout may be adjusted (reduced)
You are not removed - your reward is adjusted based on performance.
What is a violation?
A violation occurs when key risk rules are not respected.
Important:
A violation is not a breach
It does not end your account
It only affects your payout level
This allows you to keep trading, improve, and continue earning.
What types of violations exist?
Risk & Loss Management
Maximum Risk (3%)
You may not risk more than 3% at any time
Maximum Daily Loss (3%)
Your daily loss must stay within -3%
You can see here how the risk is calculated.
Drawdown Control
Drawdown (5%)
A drop of 5% from your highest balance counts as a violation
Example:
Account at +7%
Drops to +2%
→ 5% drawdown → violation
Your account stays active, but your payout may be reduced.
What are consistency rules?
Consistency rules ensure that your performance is based on real, repeatable trading.
Important difference:
Consistency rules do NOT cause payout reductions
They determine which trading activity counts toward payout eligibility
Genuine Trading Requirement
Your trades must reflect real trading behavior.
Trades placed only to meet requirements (e.g. minimal-volume or artificial trades) are not considered valid
Only trades that represent genuine market participation will count
This ensures that payouts are based on actual trading performance.
Profit Consistency (30% Rule)
No single trading day may generate more than 30% of your total profit
Example:
Total profit = 10%
One day = 5% profit
→ 50% of total profit → exceeds limit
That day may be excluded from payout calculations.
Activity & performance to request a payout
These are requirements to request a payout, not violations.
They do NOT reduce your payout
They simply need to be completed
Trading Activity
Minimum 20 trading days
Profitable Trading Days
At least 10 profitable days
Each with ≥ 0.5% profit
Example:
You reach 10% profit
But only have 6 profitable days
→ You are not eligible yet
You can continue trading and complete the requirement.
What happens to my payout if I get violations?
Your payout adjusts based on your performance:
Clean trading → full payout
Some violations → reduced payout
Multiple violations → further reduction
You still get paid - your payout reflects your discipline.
When can I request a payout?
Once you reach the 10% profit target, you become eligible for a payout.
To request it, your trading must reflect:
Consistency
Proper risk management
Real trading behavior
If something is missing:
You can simply continue trading and complete the requirements
You are never reset or removed - you just finish properly
Why are these rules in place?
These rules are designed to:
Encourage consistent trading habits
Prevent high-risk behavior
Support long-term profitability
They ensure payouts are based on real, repeatable performance.
The bottom line
You do not lose your account
Violations only affect payout size
Consistency determines what counts
Activity determines eligibility
Trade consistently, and you unlock the ability to generate payouts over and over again.
