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.
Full review →TradeDay in one paragraph
A credible payout-reliability anchor: true day-one payouts on Quick Pay with $250 minimum and no cap, $0 activation, no daily loss limit, a documented transition to live capital, and a founder who publishes pass rates (36% Jan-Jun 2026). Three tolls to know: Quick Pay pays 50/50 any time current profit sits below $4,000 — it recurs, it isn't a one-off on the first $4K; Quick Pay funded accounts run intraday trailing even if you paid for the EOD eval; and Fast Pass accounts opened since 2026-07-26 carry a 45% consistency rule into the funded stage. Sim profit above $10,000 is forfeited at live review.
