After the three Ascension cycles you move to a Live account with Midgard's real capital, starting at $1,000 to $4,000 by size. Minimum balance: 30% of the highest end-of-day balance, which only rises; if equity touches it, the account is liquidated. No targets or payout caps. It requires extra verification (proof of address, phone and tax ID) and the trader pays their own market data.
Qualified traders may be selected to trade real capital through the Alpha Futures Live Program or Alpha Prime. Live accounts offer daily uncapped withdrawals, no consistency rule and no news-trading restrictions.
- Raid: once per CME session; after a payout, wait for the next session (6 PM ET).
- Conquest: after 5 days at the minimum daily profit ($200, $250, $300 and $350 by size) and total profit of at least 5 times that minimum.
- Ascension: one bounty each completed cycle.
- Zero, Standard and Advanced: Up to 4 times per month after 5 winning trading days of $200 or more
- Direct: Up to 4 times per month after meeting its Withdrawal Profit Target and 20% consistency rule
Paid as soon as you confirm an eligible request. It can be held while your latest fills are checked (about 15 minutes) or while the account is under review.
