Our Funded Trading Accounts

What is a Funded Trading Account? Understanding Prop Firm Funding

A funded trading account represents one of the most powerful opportunities in modern financial markets, allowing skilled traders to access substantial capital without risking their own money. At Phidias Propfirm, we provide funded account trading solutions that transform talented individuals into professional futures traders with real capital backing.

Funded trading accounts work on a simple yet revolutionary principle: we supply the trading capital, you supply the trading skills, and we share the profits together. This prop firm funding model eliminates the biggest barrier most traders face – limited personal capital. Instead of trading a small personal account, you gain access to accounts ranging from $10,000 to $250,000, allowing you to generate substantial income from your trading expertise.

Phidias Propfirm Funded Account Types – Choose Your Trading Path

Understanding the differences between funded accounts is crucial for selecting the right path to trading success. We offer four distinct categories of funded trading accounts, each designed to accommodate different trading styles, risk tolerances, and career objectives.

🎯 Fundamental Funded Accounts – Traditional Day Trading Excellence
Fundamental funded accounts represent the cornerstone of professional prop firm trading, designed for traders who excel at intraday market movements and prefer closing all positions before market close. Available in $50,000 and $100,000 sizes with EOD trailing drawdown system that adjusts your risk parameters as you generate profits. Profit targets set at $4,000 for $50,000 accounts with minimum 3 trading days required.

📈 Swing Funded Accounts – Hold Positions Overnight and Overweek
Swing funded accounts cater to traders who identify longer-term opportunities and prefer holding positions across multiple trading sessions. These funded trading accounts eliminate position closure restrictions, allowing sophisticated futures trading strategies that capitalize on multi-day price movements. Perfect for traders who analyze higher timeframes and prefer fewer, higher-conviction trades with overnight and weekend position holding capabilities.

⚡ Static Funded Accounts – Fast Track to Live Trading
Static funded accounts represent our most streamlined path to funded account trading success, featuring a fixed $500 drawdown that never changes regardless of profits. The $25,000 account requires only $1,500 in profits with no minimum trading days and no consistency rules. Provides direct LIVE access upon target completion, with ability to accumulate up to five accounts for multiple income streams.

🏆 10K Drawdown Challenge Account – Competitive Funding Path
The 10K Drawdown Challenge combines competition elements with traditional prop firm evaluation through monthly competitions. Participants compete on $10,000 static drawdown accounts to achieve highest profits within the timeframe. Winners receive funded futures accounts with immediate LIVE status, while runners-up earn CASH accounts and discount codes for future challenges.

How to Get a Funded Account for Trading – Step-by-Step Process

Securing a funded trading account at Phidias follows a clear, systematic process designed to identify skilled traders and provide them with the capital they need for success. Our funded account trading pathway ensures that both new and experienced traders can access professional-grade funding through demonstrated skill.

Evaluation Phase – Prove Your Trading Skills

The evaluation phase represents your opportunity to demonstrate trading competency and earn access to funded account trading opportunities. During this critical period, you’ll trade with simulated capital while following the same rules that govern live funded trading accounts, focusing on consistent profitability rather than exceptional single-day performances.

Risk management during evaluation mirrors the standards expected in funded futures account trading, including daily loss limits, position size restrictions, and consistency requirements. These parameters ensure that successful candidates possess the discipline necessary for managing significant trading capital responsibly.

CASH Account Phase – Start Earning Real Payouts

Upon successful evaluation completion, you’ll receive a CASH funded account that operates with real capital and provides actual profit distributions. This phase represents the transition from proving your abilities to earning income from funded account trading, with an 80/20 profit split in favor of the trader.

CASH funded accounts require minimum trading day requirements between payout requests, typically ten trading days for the first three withdrawals. Traders who reach $75,000 in total payouts or complete three successful payout cycles become eligible for LIVE account transition.

LIVE Account Transition – Unlimited Trading Potential

LIVE funded accounts represent the ultimate achievement in prop firm trading, providing daily payout capabilities, enhanced position sizes, and removal of most trading restrictions. LIVE status transforms funded account trading into a professional trading career with unlimited earning potential.

LIVE futures trading accounts eliminate payout scheduling constraints, minimum trading day requirements, and many position-sizing limitations. Traders with LIVE status can request daily payouts, scale their trading size based on performance, and access enhanced account balances that grow with demonstrated success.

Funded Account Rules and Requirements – Master the Guidelines

Success in funded account trading requires thorough understanding of the rules and requirements that govern each account type. These guidelines exist to protect both trader capital and firm resources while providing clear pathways to profitability and account progression.

Risk Management Rules – Protect Your Funded Capital

Risk management in funded account trading centers on drawdown limits, daily loss restrictions, and position sizing guidelines designed to preserve capital while allowing for profitable trading opportunities. Drawdown management varies between static and trailing systems, with static maintaining fixed loss limits and trailing adjusting based on performance.

The consistency rule limits any single trading day to 30% of total account profits, preventing excessive risk-taking and encouraging steady, sustainable trading approaches. This ensures that funded futures account success stems from skill and discipline rather than gambling or excessive leverage usage.

Trading Restrictions and Allowances – What You Can and Cannot Do

Trading restrictions on funded accounts balance trader freedom with capital protection requirements, creating an environment where skilled traders can operate effectively while preventing practices that could jeopardize account integrity. News trading is fully permitted across all funded trading accounts, allowing traders to capitalize on economic announcements.

Overnight positions are restricted to Swing and Static accounts, while Fundamental accounts require position closure before market close daily. This distinction allows traders to select funded futures accounts that match their preferred trading timeframe and strategy requirements.
