Prop trading firm introduces mobile trading technology, expands its in-house trading operation and removes evaluation requirements for new simulated trading accounts
- Alpha Trader app launches on Apple and Android devices
- Alpha Prime expands its London presence to support a growing team of in-house traders
- Alpha Direct introduces simulated trading opportunities without a traditional evaluation phase
LONDON, UK, October 12, 2026: Alpha Capital Group, a leading proprietary trading firm, is expanding its services and infrastructure with three major developments: the launch of its new Alpha Trader mobile app, an expanded London operation for its in-house trading business Alpha Prime, and the introduction of Direct Accounts designed to give traders access to simulated trading opportunities without first completing an evaluation.
Following the launch of its proprietary trading platform, Alpha Trader, earlier this year, the award-winning firm has introduced a dedicated mobile app that brings its trading tools and account management features together in one place.
Available on Apple and Android devices, the Alpha Trader app enables users to follow market movements, analyse charts, manage multiple accounts and execute trades directly from their phones. The app has been developed to give traders greater flexibility and easier access to the markets wherever they are.
Key features include advanced TradingView charting, rapid order execution, depth of market functionality, order tracking, copy trading and multi-account management.
The app represents the latest step in Alpha Capital Group’s continued investment in its technology and services. Founded in 2021 by experienced UK finance professionals George Kohler, Managing Director, and Andrew Blaylock, Director, the business has grown rapidly from a start-up into an established name in the proprietary trading sector.
Alongside its technology expansion, the Group has confirmed further growth at Alpha Prime, its London-based proprietary trading business, with additional in-house traders and expanded office premises. Launched in January 2025, Alpha Prime provides traders with direct access to global markets through a range of products and trading strategies.
From an initial team of 12 traders, Alpha Prime has grown to a workforce of 100. Its professional trading floor provides an environment where traders can develop their skills with access to the structure, support and resources associated with institutional trading.
Alpha Prime is designed for traders who have demonstrated strong performance within Alpha Capital and Alpha Futures, as well as individuals looking to turn their trading skills into a long-term career. The offering provides a professional development pathway with additional benefits, including a paid salary, fewer trading restrictions, institutional infrastructure and mentoring.
Alpha Capital Group has also introduced Direct Accounts across its AlphaFutures and AlphaCap divisions, opening up a new route into its simulated trading programmes. The launch allows eligible traders to begin trading without completing the traditional evaluation process.
By removing the initial assessment stage, Direct Accounts enable traders to access their allocated simulated trading capital from the outset, rather than progressing through a phased scaling structure.
The new accounts also eliminate monthly subscription fees in favour of a single upfront payment. Traders become eligible to request their first payout after recording a minimum of seven profitable trading days. Subsequent reward requests can be submitted whenever the trader is in profit, subject to the firm’s standard consistency requirements and minimum profit criteria.
Alpha Capital Group Managing Director George Kohler said: “This has been a huge year for the Group with plans coming to fruition that have been many years in the making, and all of them reflect our on-going commitment to investing in our traders and giving them the best possible tools and opportunities to succeed. Unlike other prop firms, we really want our customers to win!
“Through the launch of Alpha Trader we became one of the first prop trading firms to build our own in-house trading platform which means we’re no longer reliant on third-party platforms, and we can provide the best possible service to our customers. And the new addition of the app is hugely significant for our customers as it means they can stay connected to the market and be smarter and quicker on their trades.
“The Alpha Prime expansion is another significant milestone for us and offers the next step for traders who are serious about making a career in the markets and, while many of our top traders prefer to continue their journeys within Alpha Capital and Alpha Futures, Alpha Prime is a great option for those who want to follow a professional pathway and enjoy the additional benefits that Prime offers.
“And the launch of Direct Accounts is about giving traders faster, more direct access to capital. We know evaluations and scaling plans can be a barrier for skilled traders, so removing those steps means our traders can stay connected to the market on the go and focus on what they do best from day one.”
Alpha Capital Group continues to develop its position in trading education and simulated trading through ongoing investment in technology, trader support and new opportunities. The company’s achievements include winning Disruptor of the Year and Best Innovator at the 2024 UK Best Business Awards.
