| Eval cost (50K) | $116 | $68/mo + $139 fee |

| Consistency | none eval, 30% funded | 30% eval, none funded |
| Profit split | 80/20 (E2L/Fundamental); Premium scales 75% → 100% from 5th payout | Depends on when the evaluation was bought. Bought before 2026-07-06: flat 80/20 in favor of the trader. Bought on/after 2026-07-06 the split is set by the size of the SINGLE withdrawal request, not by accumulated profit: 50/50 below the threshold, 80/20 at or above it. Thresholds by starting funded balance are $1,500 on 25K, $2,250 on 50K, $3,000 on 100K, $4,000 on 150K and $5,000 on 200K. $400K Trader Career Path accounts are a fixed 60/40. The firm's share is deducted monthly or at each withdrawal. |

Phidias Propfirm in one paragraph
Best rules of the 16 — no intraday trailing drawdown anywhere, no daily loss limits, news trading allowed, ~$173 one-time for a 150K under the 80% promo, and E2L converts to a real Dorman live account after one payout, the fastest live path anywhere. Held back by thin, polarized reviews (3.4-3.9 stars, ~25% one-star) and Gibraltar domicile. Size a starter position and verify the first payout personally.

The trustworthy tortoise: ~10 years operating, honest published pass rates (8.89% in 2025), EOD drawdown in eval, weekly payouts from $100 with no funded consistency rule, and a genuine path to real live capital. The split is no longer a straight 80/20: on evaluations bought from 2026-07-06 onward, 80/20 only applies to withdrawal requests at or above a size-based threshold, and anything below it pays 50/50. The hard daily loss limit, the LiveSim ceiling (the stage runs only to the first $5,000 of profit, $4,000 net) and slower scaling make it a diversifier or safe anchor, not a primary.
