Methods
Express to Live: first CASH profit target triggers Switch to Live — a fixed bonus (80/20) credits the Phidias Wallet and the account converts to LIVE with Dorman Trading. E2L has no 30% consistency rule and no daily loss limit. Fundamental: fixed 80/20, 10 funded trading days, 30% CASH consistency, payout caps per cycle. Premium: progressive 75/80/85/90/100% from the 5th payout, payouts every 5 funded days, overnight/weekend holds allowed, one Cash Account Reset within 24h of liquidation. Fundamental/Premium LIVE is discretionary after 5 payouts or $100K cumulative (old 3-payout/$75K bar is deprecated); E2L payouts do not count toward that threshold. Min withdrawal $500. Official claim of zero denied payouts is unverified here (PENDING).
Answers built from Phidias’s published terms in this catalog.
Buy evals until you acquire N funded accounts, then some of those accounts pay out. Catalog fees and splits prefill when we have them. Pass rate and funded payout rate are your assumptions, not firm-reported statistics.
Enter profit per successful funded account. We only prefill a catalog payout cap when the SKU has one.
Charts appear once eval fee, profit per funded, and profit split are set. We do not invent those numbers.

PENDING verification: Phidias 2.0 rebuilt the futures lineup into Express to Live (static, first payout→LIVE), Fundamental (EOD 80/20), and Premium (overnight holds, split to 100%). Official rules-page numbers only.
A roster-only roundup of futures firms on PropFirmElite that sell a true skip-evaluation path: Tradeify Lightning, LucidDirect, Elite Trader Funding DTF, Blue Guardian Direct, and Top One Instant/Ignite. Phidias Express-to-Live is still an evaluation. Cost vs eval, who should skip, who should not.
Profit splits range from 50% to 100% depending on the firm, plan, and payout number. Here's how to compare them accurately across firms.
Most futures firms here: no weekend holds. Flatten for the daily break when catalog hours say so. Weekend holding is true only at FundedNext (CFD 24/5, not futures overnight), Blue Guardian Futures, and Phidias.
