Alpha
Capital Group has established Alpha Prime, a new prop trading company that will
offer selected traders the opportunity to transition from simulation to live
market trading with institutional resources, FinanceMagnates.com has learned.
Alpha Capital Group
Launches New Live Trading Prop Firm
The
London-based venture represents an expansion for Alpha Capital Group, which has
operated in trading education and simulated trading since 2021. Alpha Prime
will provide traders who have demonstrated success on the company's existing
platforms with access to live trading accounts and professional support.
George Kohler, Managing Director of Alpha Capital Group
“Alpha
Prime represents the next step for traders who are serious about making a
career in the markets,” George Kohler, Managing Director of Alpha Capital
Group, commented for FinanceMagnates.com. “The environment mirrors
institutional trading desks with support, liquidity, mentorship, and the
ability to scale capital.”
This
confirms reports from mid-February when the prop firm first announced plans
to introduce such solutions and invite their most effective clients to a
trading office in London.
10 Traders Under the
Leadership of James Johnson
Alpha Prime
will be led by James Johnson, who brings 30 years of experience managing
trading desks for funds. The company plans to initially onboard 10 traders,
with intentions to expand by identifying promising talent from its existing
user base.
“All
traders will have access to market-leading data and professional trading infrastructure,” Kohler added in a
conversation with FinanceMagnates.com. Each profit-sharing structure is
tailored to each individual trader. All trading is 100% live—there is zero simulated
trading on Alpa Prime.”
The new
venture will be primarily focused on futures and derivatives trading, while
also offering facilities for forex and CFD trading. Traders will receive direct
market access to global exchanges through professional trading infrastructure.
Alpha Prime
will identify potential traders through analysis of performance data from
existing Alpha Capital Group platforms, which engage over 100,000 monthly
active traders.
Andrew Blaylock, Director at Alpha Capital Group
“One
challenge that traditional proprietary trading firms have faced is sourcing
talented traders. We now have access to hundreds of thousands of traders
trading various instruments regularly,” added Andrew Blaylock, Director at
Alpha Capital Group.
Risk
management protocols include around-the-clock monitoring by risk managers using
both manual and automated systems to ensure adherence to risk parameters.
Monthly Salary, Trading
Strategies and Regulation
Alpha Prime
offers selected traders a package that includes a monthly salary in addition to
performance-based earnings, scalable capital allocation, multi-asset class
access, and mentoring.
“We
have been planning this project since the inception of Alpha Capital Group back
in 2021,” Blaylock noted. “We now feel the time is right to proceed
with Alpha Prime.”
The company
accommodates various trading approaches but indicates a preference for
rules-based strategies. In-house quantitative analysts can help traders
backtest their strategies over five-year historical periods.
“We support
all types of trading activity and are particularly in favour of more
rules-based and emotion-free strategies, which tend to be more successful,” Kohler told FinanceMagnates.com.
Alpha Prime
is self-funded as part of the Alpha Group of companies and currently operates
under regulatory exemptions.
“We operate
with FCA-regulated clearing companies to enable DMA and trading infrastructure,”
Kohler concluded.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
