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.

On demand, as soon as the conditions are met.

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

No guaranteed time: the payout policy neither promises nor estimates one. Every request gets an automatic receipt and every payout a verifiable certificate.

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

Before the split. One Step 25K/50K/100K/150K: $1,000/$2,000/$2,500/$3,000 on the first payout and $1,500/$2,500/$3,000/$3,500 after. Instant: $1,000/$2,000/$3,000/$4,000 on every payout. The rest rolls into the next one.

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 before the split. Crypto payouts: at least $100.

$500.

Every position closed. Funded One Step: balance above the buffer plus 1% of the starting balance, 3 profitable days (+0.25%) and the 40% rule. Instant: a profit milestone before each payout ($1,450, $3,000, $5,000 or $8,000 on 25K, 50K, 100K or 150K), 5 profitable days and the 20% rule.

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.

One Step: after an evaluation breach, a restart within 14 days at the same price. Funded One Step: a reset within 14 days, at most twice and before the first payout. Instant: no reset; a new account at a reduced price is offered for 3 days.

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.

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

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.

One Step: end-of-day trailing, rising with the closing balance. Instant: intraday trailing on peak equity, open profit included. Both lock once they reach the starting balance. Touching it ends the account.

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.

90% on both plans.

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 on the CASH account. LIVE accounts: 80%.

Soft limit: reaching it closes positions and stops trading until the next session; the account stays open. One Step 25K has none.

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

$1.5M per person across all CFD and futures accounts.

Funded One Step: a buffer equal to the max loss that stays on the account and is never paid out. Instant has none.

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.

One user per person, with as many accounts as the $1.5M limit allows. Up to 5 accounts per order, with a 10% to 25% bundle discount.

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.

No time limit.

No minimum in the evaluation: it can be passed in one day.

Evaluation: 0 days on Express to Live, 3 on Fundamental, and 1 on Premium. CASH: 0 days for the Express to Live bonus, 10 qualifying days between payouts on Fundamental, and 5 on Premium.

No activation fee.

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.

Before each payout: 3 days at +0.25% of the starting balance on funded One Step and 5 on Instant. The evaluation needs none.

On Fundamental and Premium CASH accounts, a qualifying day must close with at least $150 on 50K, $200 on 100K, or $250 on 150K.

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

One-off fee. Includes 30 days of market data; then $35 per 30 days ($540 a month for professional subscribers).

No EAs or automated trading on futures.

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

Hiding your location with a VPN, proxy or remote desktop is prohibited and triggers a new identity check. Your own EA on a VPS is allowed if disclosed.

Within one account, yes (mini against micro or different contracts). Prohibited across accounts.

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.

Yes, but trades under 30 seconds may make at most 50% of profit; until it is back under, no pass or payout.

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

Allowed when used responsibly within the contract and loss limits; aggressive sequences are reviewed.

A cap on contracts open at once; exceeding it once is a warning, the second time goes to review.

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 futures accounts or from your own master account. Copying others or signals is prohibited.

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

Free during the One Step evaluation. Funded and on Instant, no trade may be opened or closed 2 minutes either side of red USD news: profit from those trades is removed. Two warnings; the third goes to review.

15 days without trading deactivates the account; an open position does not count.

No day may exceed 40% of the cycle's profit on funded One Step (none in the evaluation) or 20% on Instant. Until met, the payout waits.

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.

Hedging across accounts, latency or cross-market arbitrage, account or device sharing, coordinated trading, copying others, market or order-queue manipulation, volume inflation, filler trades to count days, HFT, strategies that cannot work in a live market, gambling and account rolling, straddling tier-1 news and gap trading.

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.

Everything is closed at 3:55 PM Chicago time every session; it is not a breach.

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