MQL5 Clears Alpha Capital Group Prop Firm Account: A Milestone Achievement

Prop firm challenges have become a defining milestone for traders aspiring to prove their consistency, skill, and ability to manage risk under pressure. Among the many success stories, one stands out: on 30th August 2025, Hugo Authofer entrusted us with an Alpha Capital Group prop firm account under the brand “MQL5.” Through discipline, strategic trading, and risk-controlled decisions, we successfully navigated the two-stage evaluation process. On 17th September 2025, Hugo proudly received the official certificate of achievement, marking the account’s full clearance.

This post walks through the journey of clearing the Alpha Capital Group account, the strategies employed, the challenges faced, and the broader lessons for traders aspiring to follow the same path.

Understanding Alpha Capital Group’s Prop Firm Model

Alpha Capital Group has positioned itself as one of the most respected names in the proprietary trading space. Their model provides traders with access to capital, provided they can demonstrate the following during the evaluation:

  • Profit Targets: Traders must hit predefined profit percentages in both stages.
  • Drawdown Limits: Strict maximum daily and overall loss rules.
  • Risk Management: Controlled lot sizing, avoiding over-leveraging, and following the firm’s risk guidelines.
  • Trading Consistency: Demonstrating discipline across various market conditions.

By passing both evaluation stages, traders gain access to live funded accounts, along with profit-sharing opportunities.

Stage One: The Evaluation Phase

The first challenge was to prove consistency while aiming for the initial profit target. The following steps were central to passing Stage One:

  1. Strategic Pair Selection: We focused heavily on high-liquidity pairs like EURUSD, GBPUSD, and XAUUSD (Gold).
  2. Controlled Risk Per Trade: Risk was capped at 1–1.5% per position. This ensured that even during adverse market swings, the account stayed within Alpha’s rules.
  3. Daily Trade Journal: Every trade was logged, with reasons for entry, exit, and lessons noted. This built accountability and clarity.
  4. Avoiding Overtrading: A maximum of three high-quality trades per day was followed. Quality over quantity proved decisive.

By maintaining composure and adhering to a structured plan, Stage One was cleared with confidence.

Stage Two: The Verification Phase

Stage Two required the same discipline but with reduced targets. Here, patience played a bigger role than aggressiveness.

  • Scaling In and Out: Partial profit booking on key resistance/support levels reduced risk exposure.
  • Longer Holding Periods: Instead of scalping aggressively, swing positions were favored to match the lower target requirement.
  • Risk-to-Reward Ratios: Aiming for 1:2 or higher risk-reward setups ensured profitability even with fewer trades.
  • Strict Session Timing: Focusing on London and New York overlaps to maximize volatility and clarity.

On 17th September 2025, the verification account officially met all targets, confirming our strategy’s effectiveness.

The Certificate of Success

Receiving the Alpha Capital Group certificate is not just about passing a trading test—it symbolizes:

  • Trust in Strategy: Proof that disciplined approaches outperform random speculation.
  • Credibility for Traders: Recognition that helps traders build confidence and attract more opportunities.
  • Milestone Achievement: Clearing both evaluation stages underlines the potential of trading when paired with risk management.

For Hugo Authofer, it was a proud moment to see his MQL5 account fully certified and funded.

Lessons for Aspiring Prop Firm Traders

The success story offers crucial takeaways for anyone attempting prop firm challenges:

  1. Risk Management is King – Even profitable strategies fail without strict risk controls.
  2. Patience Over Impulse – Waiting for perfect setups is better than chasing trades.
  3. Structured Planning – Journaling, setting daily trade limits, and sticking to them builds consistency.
  4. Adaptability – Markets change daily. Knowing when to scale down or switch styles ensures long-term survival.
  5. Mental Strength – Handling drawdowns calmly separates consistent traders from emotional ones.

Why This Win Matters for the MQL5 Community

The MQL5 platform has always been a hub for innovation—expert advisors (EAs), trading indicators, and community discussions drive progress. Clearing a major prop firm account under the MQL5 banner is a powerful demonstration that tools, strategies, and disciplined trading principles shared within the community can achieve real-world results.

It sets a precedent for traders who rely on MQL5-based tools: if applied with discipline, they can meet professional standards demanded by firms like Alpha Capital Group.
