Problem is Alatreon is not an easy monster to kill. It has a bunch of attacks you have to keep an eye on. I sugest using the Palico tool that creates distractions (forgot the name at the moment) so it won't focus only on you.
And, it is monster hunter so...you will probably cart a couple times before learning its pattern, just don't give up.
The good thing about going solo is that carting to escathon will not end the fight, as it will take you only one team life.
Multipliers for each element (the higher the number, the more damage you deal):
Elementless mode: Fire (1); Water (0.8) Ice (1); Thunder (0.8); Dragon (1)
Fire mode: Fire (0); Water (0.8) Ice (1.1); Thunder (0.25); Dragon (0.1)
Ice mode: Fire (1.1); Water (0.25) Ice (0); Thunder (0.8); Dragon (0.1)
Dragon mode: Fire (0.5); Water (0.4) Ice (0.5); Thunder (0.4); Dragon (0.7)
Fire has an average multiplier of 0.65.
Water has an average multiplier of 0.5625.
Ice has an average multiplier of 0.65.
Thunder has an average multiplier of 0.5625.
Dragon has an average multiplier of 0.475.
This basically means that the fastest and best runs are achieved by using the either fire or ice (depending on the quest. Evening Star=> use Ice and break one horn in the respective dragon mode phase/Dawn of the Death Star=> use Fire and break one horn in the respective dragon mode phase).
Water and Thunder do the same job Dragon does but simply slightly better.
This is the optimal way and it is recommended that you learn how to break the horns reliably. Consider going partbreaker, if you can hit the elemental threshold much faster than every 6 mins.
You can do it without partbreaker, but if inexperience is your problem, partbreaker will help you out a lot (provided you hit the elemental damage check relatively fast).
Ice/Fire if you're confident you can break the horn.
Dragon/Water/Thunder if you aren't.
The other problem with this is, when is Alatreon ever in elementless mode? I don't know why it exists in the data like that, but if you look only at Fire/Ice/Dragon you'll see that dragon is not exactly a good element to run against him. Taking Elementless mode drops all of the averages but hurts dragon a fair bit more than the rest. You'd be banking on his dragon phase for every elemental damage check, assuming the check is for total elemental damage dealt and not just hitcount or something.
Quality insight. (honestly no sarcasm)
Where did you get this information? Could you post the source?
As far as I understood it, on reddit was a list with his weaknesses and there was a comment about him being elementless while he lies on the ground when you reach the element threshhold.
I don't know if it's allowed to link reddit posts, so I won't link it directly:
reddit(dot)com/r/MonsterHunterWorld/comments/hohr4q/any_information_on_alatreon_elemental_hitzones/
You can't really gauge effectiveness when you don't have a control. You can easily have gotten carried by the 2 other people. At the end of the day, these are just numbers on paper. If you can't break the horn at the right time, or if he runs out of horns and is still alive, you're pretty much screwed with ice/fire. The other 3 elements are more reliable.
