Alpha Capital Group, a UK-based proprietary trading firm, has positioned DX Trade as a primary platform option for new US-based traders following restrictions on other trading venues. The web-browser platform offers institutional-grade features including customizable workflows, advanced order management, and real-time market data access, addressing a gap created by the firm’s decision to halt new US customer acceptance on cTrader.
- Available Platforms for US Traders: DX Trade and TradeLocker (MetaTrader 5 restricted for US residents)
- DX Trade Key Features: Depth of Market (DOM), algorithmic trading support, advanced order management, web-browser access only
- Credential Processing: Card payments issued promptly; crypto and PayPal up to 24 hours
- Unsupported Features: Expert Advisors (EAs) and copy trading unavailable on DX Trade accounts
The shift reflects regulatory and operational constraints facing the proprietary trading sector. Alpha Capital noted that existing cTrader users can continue trading and purchase new evaluations, but the platform is closed to new US customers. MetaTrader 5 remains unavailable to US residents entirely, leaving DX Trade and TradeLocker as the practical options for new applicants from the United States.
DX Trade’s institutional-style architecture targets traders seeking advanced order management without proprietary trading firm-specific features such as EAs or copy trading. The platform’s algorithmic trading capability distinguishes it from some competitors, though the firm clarified that algorithmic support differs from its EA approval policy, which requires MetaTrader 5. A new platform, Alpha Trader, is listed as coming soon but remains unavailable.
Alpha Capital Group operates as a simulated funding evaluation service for traders, maintaining its UK registration while serving international clients. The company advises potential traders to verify platform and country eligibility before purchase, with trader dashboards accessible at app.alphacapitalgroup.uk.
