Before you choose

At Alpha Futures, the platform cannot be changed after purchase. Alpha's current platform article does not list Tradovate or NinjaTrader, although an older help article and a May 2026 blog post mention them. Bulenox says it supports more than 20 platforms, but only Rithmic and NinjaTrader are named in text we could read. See trading platforms and data feeds for each platform's page, and the futures prop firms comparison for prices and rules. The futures prop firm comparison shows platforms next to each firm's rules and fees.

Know the riskA prop firm evaluation is a paid service with simulated trading. Platform support does not change the rules you must follow. Most people who buy an evaluation do not pass it, and firms change their rules and close. Not investment advice.
