Risk/Return [Heading] | rr_RiskReturnHeading | ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN DYNAMIC ALL MARKET FUND | ||||||||||||||||
Objective [Heading] | rr_ObjectiveHeading | INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE | ||||||||||||||||
Objective, Primary [Text Block] | rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock | The Fund's investment objective is to maximize total return consistent with the Adviser's determination of reasonable risk. Total return is the sum of capital appreciation and income. | ||||||||||||||||
Expense [Heading] | rr_ExpenseHeading | FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND | ||||||||||||||||
Expense Narrative [Text Block] | rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock | This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge reductions if you and members of your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary and in Investing in the Fund--Sales Charge Reduction Programs for Class A Shares on page 23 of this Prospectus and in Purchase of Shares--Sales Charge Reduction Programs for Class A Shares on page 82 of the Fund's Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"). | ||||||||||||||||

Portfolio Turnover [Heading] | rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading | PORTFOLIO TURNOVER | ||||||||||||||||
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] | rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock | The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys or sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These transaction costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 127% of the average value of its portfolio. | ||||||||||||||||
Portfolio Turnover, Rate | rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate | 127.00% | ||||||||||||||||
Expenses Deferred Charges [Text Block] | rr_ExpensesDeferredChargesTextBlock | Purchases of Class A shares in amounts of $1,000,000 or more, or by certain group retirement plans, may be subject to a 1%, 1-year contingent deferred sales charge, or CDSC, which may be subject to waiver in certain circumstances. For Class C shares, the CDSC is 0% after the first year. | ||||||||||||||||
Expense Breakpoint Discounts [Text] | rr_ExpenseBreakpointDiscounts | You may qualify for sales charge reductions if you and members of your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds. | ||||||||||||||||

Expenses Not Correlated to Ratio Due to Acquired Fund Fees [Text] | rr_ExpensesNotCorrelatedToRatioDueToAcquiredFundFees | Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement do not match the expense ratios included in the Financial Highlights tables below, as the Financial Highlights tables do not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. | ||||||||||||||||
Expense Example [Heading] | rr_ExpenseExampleHeading | EXAMPLES | ||||||||||||||||
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] | rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock | The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses stay the same and that the fee waiver remains in effect as agreed upon. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: | ||||||||||||||||
Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES | ||||||||||||||||
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund invests dynamically in a number of global asset classes, including equity, fixed-income, real assets, credit and currencies. In making asset allocation decisions, the Adviser will use fundamental and quantitative analysis and its proprietary dynamic asset allocation process. This process generates forecasts of volatility, correlation and expected return that allow the Adviser to gauge changes in the risk/return trade-off across a range of asset classes. The Adviser may make frequent adjustments to the Fund's asset class exposures based on this continued monitoring of risks and potential returns. In addition, the Adviser will seek to allocate the Fund's investments such that the Fund's asset classes contribute to its overall expected risk and volatility in a more balanced manner than is typical in a portfolio with approximately equal allocations to equity and fixed-income securities, where volatility often can be attributed largely to equities. This means that the Fund will generally have greater exposures to lower risk asset classes (such as fixed-income) than to higher risk asset classes. In addition to these risk considerations, the Adviser will consider its forecasts for return as well as risk in making asset allocation decisions. To achieve the overall risk/return profile that the Adviser believes is most appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, a combination of direct securities investments, derivative instruments and reverse repurchase agreements will be used to gain asset class exposure so that the Fund's aggregate exposure will generally be substantially in excess of its net assets (i.e., so that the Fund is effectively leveraged). The asset classes in which the Fund may invest include:
ETFs and derivatives, such as options, futures, forwards and swaps, may provide more efficient and economical exposure to market segments than direct investments, and the Fund's market exposures may at times be achieved almost entirely through investments in ETF shares and/or through the use of derivatives. Shares of ETFs and derivatives transactions may also be a quicker and more efficient way to alter the Fund's exposure than buying and selling direct investments. In determining when and to what extent to invest in ETFs or to enter into derivatives transactions, the Adviser will consider factors such as the risks and returns of these investments relative to direct investments and the costs of such transactions. Because derivatives transactions frequently require cash outlays that are only a small portion of the amount of exposure obtained through the derivative, a significant portion of the Fund's assets may be held in cash or invested in cash equivalents, such as short-term U.S. Government and agency securities, repurchase agreements and money market funds. While the Fund may seek to gain exposure to physical commodities traded in the commodities markets through investments in a variety of derivative instruments, the Adviser expects that the Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodities and commodities-related instruments and derivatives primarily through investments in AllianceBernstein Dynamic All Market (Cayman) Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is advised by the Adviser and has the same investment objective and substantially similar investment policies and restrictions as the Fund except that the Subsidiary, unlike the Fund, may invest, without limitation, in commodities and commodities-related instruments. The Fund will be subject to the risks associated with the commodities, derivatives and other instruments in which the Subsidiary invests, to the extent of its investment in the Subsidiary. The Fund limits its investment in the Subsidiary to no more than 25% of its total assets. Investment in the Subsidiary is expected to provide the Fund with commodity exposure within the limitations of federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. Currency exchange rate fluctuations can have a dramatic impact on returns. The Fund's foreign currency exposures will come both from investments in equity and debt securities priced or denominated in foreign currencies and from direct holdings of foreign currencies and currency-related derivatives. The Adviser may seek to hedge all or a portion of the currency exposure resulting from Fund investments or decide not to hedge this exposure. The Adviser may seek investment opportunities by taking long or short positions in currencies through the use of currency-related derivatives. |
