Trading Pure Alpha is a Story Mode achievement for turning an overall profit on the stock market, counting every dollar invested against every dollar earned back. It clears for 20.8% of Steam players, uncommon rather than rare, since the game's markets reward players who pay attention rather than punishing them outright. Los Santos runs two markets, LCN and BAWSAQ, and certain story missions and assassination jobs move specific stocks in predictable directions if you buy in beforehand. Coming out ahead overall does not need constant trading, just enough well-timed buys around the moments the game itself nudges particular stocks. Spreading money across a few promising stocks rather than gambling everything on one tends to produce a steadier overall profit by the time all three characters are done with the story.
Meet the requirement in game: Make a profit over your total investments in the stock market.
Achievements unlock on Steam, PlayStation (as trophies) and Xbox alike. Cheats disable them for the session, so play clean when you are chasing one.
