Phidias Funding

• Pricing honestyElevated5/10

  Resetting timers, perpetual “discounts”, or undisclosed add-ons inflate the real cost of getting and staying funded.

  “One-time challenge fees with heavy promotional discount codes (e.g. 60% off); effective price discoverable at checkout.” source

• Rule enforcementWatch6/10

  Discretionary or inconsistent enforcement means a rule can be applied after the fact to fail an account or deny a payout.

• Terms stabilityWatch6/10

  Frequent terms changes can move the goalposts on an account you are already trading under.

• Drawdown modelWatch7/10

  How the account gets breached. Trailing or intraday drawdown can end your account on an open-trade swing — not only on realized losses.

  “Maximum trailing End-of-Day drawdown of 5%, calculated at the close in relation to your PnL at end of day; some families use static drawdown. No daily loss limit. News trading allowed everywhere.” source
