Alpha Capital Group trading journal

What TakeJournal checks on your Alpha Capital Group account

Choose the product when you add the account; the rules come with it, and the account page shows where you stand against each one, from your own trades.

Drawdown

The liquidation level, trailing or static as the firm sets it, and how far the account is from it.

Profit target

The profit since the start against the target, raised where the consistency rule says so.

Daily loss limit

Today's result, open positions included, against the limit, and what reaching it does.

Consistency rule

The best day's share of the profit, and the profit that still brings it under the limit.

Minimum trading days

The days that count, and how many are still missing.

Activity

The days since the last trade against the firm's limit, and the last day a trade keeps the account.

Trading hours

The time the firm wants every position closed by, the trades held past it and the position open now.

Hold time

How long the firm wants a trade held, the trades held less and the days that count only with a trade held long enough.

News

No trades in the minutes around high-impact US releases (FOMC, NFP, CPI …), the trades in those windows, and the profit the firm removes or caps.

Payout rules

Winning days, the payout period, the minimum and maximum and the buffer: when the next payout is possible.

Profit split

Your share of a payout, counted in the account's costs and payouts.
