Express to Live converts the CASH account to LIVE after reaching its CASH target and requesting the first payout through “Switch to Live”. Phidias states that the full path from signup to first payout and LIVE conversion can be completed in 48 hours on every E2L size. Fundamental and Premium may transition to LIVE after 5 payouts or $100,000 in cumulative profits, subject to the risk team’s discretion.

Standard, Apex and Direct: first payout after 14 days, then every 14, according to checkout. Atlas Live: every 7 days, according to documentation.

Fundamental: every 10 qualifying trading days. Premium: every 5 qualifying days. LIVE from Express to Live: daily.

First payout: 24 working hours; subsequent payouts: 48. Working hours: Monday-Friday, 09:00-17:00 BST. Late payment: $500 with that payout and $500 with the next. Giveaway and collaborator accounts excluded.

Phidias states that 90% of payouts are processed in under 30 minutes and all payouts within 24 hours.

Standard, Apex and Direct: up to 50% of cycle profit and the limit in the corresponding row. Live: first payout capped at $4,000/$6,000/$7,000/$8,000 for $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K; afterwards, no cap beyond available profit.

Fundamental and Premium: up to $2,000 per cycle on 50K, $2,500 on 100K, and $2,750 on 150K. LIVE accounts originating from Express to Live have no maximum daily limit.

$500.

Approved KYC. Requesting closes positions and pauses the account until payout is resolved. Challenge fee refunded as Atlas Balance with the third consecutive payout, according to the shared FAQ.

Fundamental and Premium apply a 30% consistency rule on CASH accounts. A qualifying day must generate at least $150 on 50K, $200 on 100K, or $250 on 150K. Express to Live uses a separate bonus and automatic LIVE conversion system.

Market-depth data and additional exchanges can be purchased from the member area.

Atlas Live after the fourth payout: trailing equity drawdown and Direct contract limits.

LIVE accounts may advance to ELITE after 60 days and a $125,000 balance, or MASTER after 120 days and $250,000. Transition remains subject to risk review.

Trailing at each day's close, 16:45 New York. On funded Standard, Apex and Direct, stops rising at starting balance; the first payout request locks the floor there. Live: trailing equity without a lock.

Express to Live uses a static drawdown that never moves. Fundamental and Premium use trailing drawdown calculated at the end of the day; the limit remains fixed during the session.

Atlas Live: 100%. Reached after the fourth paid payout. All programs remain simulated.

Express to Live and Fundamental: 80%. Premium: 75% on the first payout, 80% on the second, 85% on the third, 90% on the fourth, and 100% from the fifth onward.

Standard: soft limit. Closes positions and locks trading until the 16:45 New York reset; does not close the account unless maximum drawdown is also reached.

There is no daily loss limit on Express to Live, Fundamental, or Premium.

After withdrawal, balance must remain $100 above starting balance.

A minimum threshold applies when requesting a payout, but withdrawals may reduce the balance to $50,100, $100,100, or $150,100. Phidias does not treat this as a locked buffer.

No evaluation deadline.

Standard evaluation: 2 days; Apex: 1. Funded per cycle: Standard 5; Apex 4; Direct 5; Live 4.

Fundamental and Premium allow unlimited evaluation resets. A failed subscription also resets with the next 30-day renewal. Express to Live does not allow resets. Premium CASH permits one funded-account reset.

Unlimited evaluation accounts. A trader may operate a LIVE account while pursuing a new evaluation. Simultaneous maximum: 5 Fundamental CASH, 5 Premium CASH, and 5 Express to Live CASH/LIVE accounts. The 10K Drawdown Summer Edition allows unlimited simultaneous entries, with only the trader’s best account counting on the leaderboard. Fundamental and Premium 150K accounts count as two slots in their category.

Phidias Wallet centralizes account subscriptions, bank or cryptocurrency withdrawals, purchases, activations, and LIVE-account funding directly from earnings. Phidias Points are an internal unit that cannot be transferred outside the ecosystem.

On LIVE accounts, traders may request a contract-limit increase in writing. The risk team may approve, reject, or adjust the limit.

Robots, fully automated algorithms, and HFT are prohibited. Semi-automated software is allowed when the trader actively monitors and manually adjusts every trade.

Must not conceal location or identity. Give advance notice of locations inconsistent with registration.

Allowed within one account. Prohibited across accounts, brokers or firms.

Hedging is prohibited on the same underlying within one account (including ES vs MES), between CASH accounts, and through coordinated opposite trades between traders; violations can close all involved accounts and lead to a ban. Multiple assets may be traded simultaneously, but the contract cap applies across all symbols; bypassing it can close the account without refund.

On funded accounts, profits from trades held under 3 minutes are deducted. Losses remain; the deduction does not close the account.

DCA is allowed to smooth entry points, provided consistent risk management is maintained.

Close all positions before 16:45 New York; holding afterwards closes the account. On funded accounts, 80% margin usage closes positions and deducts their profits. Respect contract limits.

Phidias requires consistent position sizing and risk management. Lottery-style trading, excessive margin usage, or non-replicable patterns may lead to reduced contracts or account closure.

Only between your own Atlas accounts; copying other traders or external accounts is prohibited.

Allowed within the maximum account limits. Identical strategies exceeding the authorized allocation may result in account suspension.

Unrestricted during evaluation. On funded accounts, profits from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after high-impact news are deducted. Holding through the entire window is allowed.

Open a trade at least every 30 days.

Standard: best day at most 50% of profit, according to checkout. Direct and Live: 20%. Apex: no consistency.

There is no consistency rule during evaluation or on Express to Live. On Fundamental and Premium CASH accounts, no single day may represent more than 30% of total profit. It is calculated over at least 4 days.

Allowed only on Premium. Fundamental and Express to Live must close before the end of the session.

Latency or tick arbitrage, exploiting prices or bugs, order flooding, hedging across accounts or firms, account sharing and passing services. Multiple locations must not hide who trades. Gambling, martingale and manipulating evaluations are prohibited.

Robots and fully automated trading; HFT; lottery-style or full-margin trades during high-volatility news; old or illiquid contracts; spreads between expirations; one-tick Treasury-bond arbitrage; exploitation of technical or market errors.

Allowed only on Premium. Fundamental and Express to Live must close before the end of the session.
