| Plan | Discounted prices | Account sizes | Drawdown | Profit split | Payout | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Express to Live |
| 25K, 50K, 100K, 150K | Static drawdown, no trailing, no daily loss | 80/20 | Automatic bonus and path to LIVE; daily LIVE payout | Traders who want the fastest route, no consistency rule and no minimum days. |
| Fundamental |
| 50K, 100K, 150K | EOD trailing drawdown, no daily loss | 80/20 | 10 days between CASH payouts | Traditional intraday traders who want lower 50K pricing than Premium. |
| Premium |
| 50K, 100K, 150K | EOD trailing drawdown, overnight allowed | 75% to 100% | CASH funded in 1 day; payouts every 5 days | Swing traders, news traders and users optimizing for long-term split. |
Express to Live is the strongest starting point if you want static drawdown and speed. Premium is the upgrade if your strategy needs overnight holds.
The best Phidias plan for most traders is Express to Live. Official rules list static drawdown, no minimum trading days, no daily loss limit and no consistency rule for E2L. That removes a lot of friction for traders who want a fast path without an intraday trailing floor chasing unrealized gains.
Inside Express to Live, 25K is the lowest-cost entry and 50K is the more balanced choice if you want more operating room. E2L also has a distinct mechanism: after reaching the CASH target, the trader uses Switch to Live, receives a fixed bonus subject to the 80/20 split and moves to LIVE.
Recommendation: choose Express to Live if your priority is speed, static drawdown and simple evaluation rules. Choose Premium only if your edge depends on holding trades overnight, because that flexibility is its real advantage.
The cheapest Phidias plan listed in this comparison is Express to Live 25K at $55.40 after 80% off. If you want the cheapest 50K account, Fundamental 50K is $116.00, below both Express 50K and Premium 50K.
The lowest price is not automatically the best plan. Express 25K is best for testing Phidias with limited cost and static drawdown. Fundamental 50K is better if you specifically want a larger 50K account at lower price than Premium, but you accept EOD trailing drawdown and intraday-only trading.
Recommendation: choose Express 25K if price is the main constraint. Choose Fundamental 50K for the cheapest 50K. Recompare Express to Live if rules and path to LIVE matter more than the checkout price.
For beginners, Express to Live 25K is the easiest plan to justify by cost and simplicity. No minimum days and no consistency rule remove conditions that often confuse new users, and static drawdown is easier to understand than intraday trailing drawdown.
The warning is that E2L has no daily loss limit. That gives freedom, but it also demands self-control. If you do not already have a personal daily stop, that freedom can become a risk. Fundamental 50K can fit better if you prefer a more conventional intraday path and do not need overnight holds.
Recommendation: use Express 25K to test Phidias with controlled spend. Move to 50K or Premium only when your daily drawdown, sizing and average stop data are already clear.
Express to Live wins on speed and path clarity. Phidias describes E2L as a direct route: evaluation target, funded CASH account, Switch to Live, automatic bonus and LIVE account. In LIVE, payout is daily, with no maximum limit and a $500 minimum.
Fundamental uses a fixed 80/20 split and 10 days between CASH payouts. Premium is stronger long term: its split rises from 75% to 100% over the first five payouts, and from the fifth payout onward the trader keeps 100% of the applicable cap.
Recommendation: Express to Live for speed, Fundamental for intraday price, Premium for traders already planning multiple payouts and overnight exposure.
Express to Live has static drawdown, zero minimum days, no consistency rule and a direct path to LIVE. Fundamental is more traditional: EOD trailing drawdown, 3 minimum evaluation days, 10 days on CASH and a fixed 80/20 split.
Choose Express if you want speed and simple rules. Choose Fundamental if you want the cheaper 50K route and an intraday structure that is less focused on the fast LIVE transition.
Express wins on static drawdown and speed. Premium wins on flexibility: overnight and over-week holds, CASH funding in 1 trading day and progressive split up to 100%.
The key question is your style. If you scalp or trade intraday and close everything before the end of the day, Express is usually better. If your edge needs multi-session holds, Premium is the answer.
Fundamental is cheaper at 50K and uses a fixed 80/20 split. Premium costs more, but adds overnight holds, 5-day payout cycles and the best split ceiling.
Fundamental fits intraday traders who do not need extra flexibility. Premium fits experienced traders, swing traders and users optimizing future payouts.
Choose Phidias Express to Live if you want the best overall plan: static drawdown, no minimum days, no consistency rule, no daily loss limit and a fast path to LIVE. For the lowest entry cost, choose Express to Live 25K; for a cheap 50K, choose Fundamental 50K; for swing trading and the best long-term split, choose Premium.
The decision should not come only from the price column. If your strategy closes intraday and values simple rules, Express to Live is the winner. If you need overnight holds or want the 100% split path after several payouts, Premium can justify the higher cost.
