Most prop firms sell you a test. You pay a fee, try to pass one or two evaluation phases, and one bad day can end the attempt. Alpine Pass works differently: it is a monthly plan where you trade a simulated account from day one, with no challenge to pass and no drawdown limit, and you get paid a fixed reward every time you grow the account by 10%.
This guide explains how Alpine Pass works, what you need for a reward, how the levels grow, and who it is a good fit for.
Key takeaways
- No challenge and no drawdown limit: your account stays open as long as your subscription runs.
- Every +10% pays a fixed reward. Your first one refunds your first month, and each level after that pays double the last.
- Rewards go up to $32,000 per +10% at the Summit level, paid every Thursday.
What is Alpine Pass?
Alpine Pass is a monthly subscription from Alpine Funded, a Swiss prop firm based in Cham. Instead of buying an evaluation, you get a simulated trading account straight after checkout and trade it with live market prices on MT5 or cTrader.
You don’t earn a percentage of your profit. Instead, every time your account grows by 10%, you receive a fixed reward in real money. How big that reward is depends on your pass (Standard, Advanced or Pro) and on your level.
How does Alpine Pass work?
It comes down to three steps, which you then repeat:
- Pick your pass. Standard, Advanced or Pro. All three have the same rules; the only difference is the size of your rewards.
- Trade your way. Your strategy, your position size. Trading the news and holding over the weekend are allowed.
- Grow the account 10% and get paid. Then the next level starts, with a bigger reward.
What do you need to unlock a reward?
A reward unlocks when all three of these are true:
- Your account has grown by 10%.
- You have had at least 10 days with 0.5% profit or more.
- You meet the best day rule: no single day counts for more than 30% of the profit needed.
There is no minimum number of trading days. Only your profitable days count. If you hit +10% early, nothing resets: you simply keep trading until you have your 10 profitable days.
Rewards are paid every Thursday. A processing fee of $40 applies per reward.
How the levels and rewards grow
Your first +10% clears the Entry level and pays back your fee. From Level 1, every +10% pays a fixed reward, and each level pays double the one before. This is what you earn per +10% at each level:
| Level | Standard | Advanced | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | Fee back | Fee back | Fee back |
| Level 1 | $500 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
| Level 2 | $1,000 | $2,000 | $4,000 |
| Level 3 | $2,000 | $4,000 | $8,000 |
| Level 4 | $4,000 | $8,000 | $16,000 |
| Summit | $8,000 | $16,000 | $32,000 |
After four months on the Pass, you can also run up to 10 accounts side by side, so you can build several reward streams at once.
Can you lose your account?
Only if you end your subscription. As long as it runs, there is no daily loss limit and no overall loss limit. A losing streak doesn’t close your account; you keep the same account next week and next month, and your progress builds on itself instead of starting from zero.
If you end a month in drawdown at the Entry level, your balance is reset for free, so you start the next month with a clean account. The usual prohibited trading strategies still apply; you can find them in our general rules.
Alpine Pass vs. a 2-phase challenge
Here is how Alpine Pass compares with a classic evaluation challenge:
| Typical 2-phase challenge | Alpine Pass | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | Pass two phases first | Trade from day one |
| A losing streak | Account closed, fee gone | Account stays open |
| Trying again | Buy a new challenge | Nothing to buy, keep trading |
| What you pay | A new fee for every attempt | One monthly fee, cancel anytime |
| Getting paid | A profit split, once you’re funded | A fixed reward at every +10% |
If you prefer the classic route, Alpine Funded also offers The Peak, a 2-phase challenge, and Base Camp, an instant funded account with a one-time fee.
What does Alpine Pass cost?
- Standard: €95 for the first month, then €119 per month. Rewards from $500 up to $8,000.
- Advanced: €151 for the first month, then €189 per month. Rewards from $1,000 up to $16,000.
- Pro: €343 for the first month, then €429 per month. Rewards from $2,000 up to $32,000.
You can cancel anytime from your dashboard.
Who is Alpine Pass for?
Alpine Pass suits traders who want to be paid for consistent growth rather than gamble on passing a test. It is a good fit if you:
- are tired of losing challenge fees to a single bad day,
- want to trade your own style, including news and weekends,
- would rather build steady 10% steps than chase one big target,
- want an account that also keeps working while you are still learning.
Our most successful Alpine Pass traders can also be introduced to our asset management partner, a licensed Swiss firm.
Bottom line
Alpine Pass replaces the test with an account you keep. You pay one monthly fee, trade without a drawdown limit, and get a fixed reward every time you grow the account by 10%, with rewards that double at every level. If that sounds like the way you want to trade, start your first month from €95.
All Alpine Funded accounts are simulated trading accounts with live market prices. Rewards are paid in real money. Prices and conditions as of October 2026; the current offer is always shown on alpinefunded.com.
