Risk per trade moves these numbers more than the choice of plan. Alpha Pro 6% goes from 98% at 0.5% risk to 21% at 2%: at 2% risk, 100% of failed attempts end on the 3% daily limit: two losing trades in one day hit it. At 0.5% risk the best pass chance at Alpha Capital is Alpha Pro 10% (99%+), though smaller risk also means more days to reach the target.
