Phidias Propfirm review

Rules and prices checked on 5 November 2026 against Phidias Propfirm’s own website and terms.

Phidias Propfirm is a futures prop firm run by Phidias Propfirm LTD that says it has operated for three years, paid more than $15 million and funded 50,000 traders, with live accounts cleared through Dorman Trading. It offers Express to Live (static drawdown, no minimum days or consistency rule, live on the first payout), Fundamental (end of day trailing, 80% split) and Premium (overnight and weekend holds allowed, payouts every five days, split rising to 100%), at $25,000 to $150,000, on Rithmic, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView or DeepCharts. Be aware that Trustpilot has removed the firm's rating over a guideline breach, that withdrawal thresholds and caps of $2,000 to $2,750 sit behind its nothing locked marketing, and that a reviewer reports being moved to live without asking.

Suits

Futures traders who want a path to a real live account through Dorman, or overnight and weekend holds on Premium.

Less suited to

You want large withdrawals early, want to choose when you move to live, or rely on independent review scores.

Pros

  • Live accounts cleared through Dorman Trading.
  • Premium allows overnight and weekend holds.
  • Split rises to 100% by the fifth payout on Premium.
  • News trading allowed; five platforms.

Cons

  • Red flag: Trustpilot has removed the firm's rating over a guideline breach.
  • Red flag: withdrawal thresholds and caps of $2,000 to $2,750 despite nothing locked marketing.
  • Express to Live converts to live automatically on the first payout.
  • Jurisdiction not stated on the pages we read.
  • $500 minimum withdrawal.

Verdict

Phidias has features few futures firms offer: real live accounts through Dorman Trading, a Premium plan that allows overnight and weekend holds, a progressive split that reaches 100% by the fifth payout, news trading on every account and a wide platform choice. Express to Live is cheap with codes and has a static drawdown.

The payout rules are tighter than the marketing. Fundamental and Premium accounts must reach a balance threshold before withdrawing (for example $52,600 on $50K), keep the start plus $100 after each withdrawal, take at least $500 and at most $2,000 to $2,750 per period. Express to Live accounts convert to live automatically on the first payout.

Red flags: Trustpilot has removed the firm's rating for a guideline breach. Recent reviews include payout denials over multiple accounts and a trader moved to live without asking who lost nine paid evaluations, alongside positive payout reports. The firm's jurisdiction is not stated on the pages we read.

Phidias may suit futures traders who want a path to a real live account or to hold overnight, but traders should read the payout section of the rules carefully.
