Phidias Propfirm 90% Off Entry Fee

I’d issue a high warning around this company. I had, in the past year had a good experience with them and then they used my review and my name and picture in emails as well as social media posts without my approval. I joined as an affiliate and brought in a good amount of business to them, but then I think somewhere around when they launched their live stream things changed. I started having. Lot more connectivity issues and order fill issues, but never really said anything. They launched Phidias2.0 and today 22 may 2026 I entered a short on the NQ at 29,630.25 and as the market fell my account breached and was deactivated. I was shocked because I was correct in my analysis. I went on to discord to ask what was going on and Fabien just replied “dunno, volatility?” And I was like no mate. The price spiked 10 minutes later to a high of 29,645 so that would not have been anywhere near enough to even hit the max loss. And I said you can’t just respond to legitimate “partner” queries with “I dunno, volatility” I was then removed from the discord.
I sent a support email with a screenshot and they provided no information and just said the account has been deactivated and you will not be reinstated to the discord. Really disappointing considering my view of these not too long ago,
I’ve decided to charge back all my purchases as I don’t think they have acted in good faith and will request that they remove my name picture and review that they sent without my approval to all their customers. My relationship with this firm ends today, they no longer have my trust

Phidias does pay out i have been paid 2k$ by them BUT MAJOR BUT i also had an issue where i well passed the 26500$ mark on my 25k E2L cash account. After passing that on the rithmic trader platform i tried to close my position using both their cancel position / close position buttons on the software with both not working. I closed my RTrader platform reopened it and did the same to no effect only once restarting a second time it allowed me to close my position. The support team also was to no help and continued to close my support tickets with no response. Which this was a shock to me because we have done good business up untill this point .
cant add images here but i have proof for all of this crazy overall

I subscribed to the Phidias Premium 50K challenge. On my first trading day, my account was force-liquidated while a SHORT NQ position was open. At the moment of liquidation:
— My BALANCE was $49,250 — well above the $47,500 floor
— Only my EQUITY had temporarily dipped below $47,500 due to the open floating position
— 50 minutes later, the market reached my Take Profit, confirming the trade was correct
This directly contradicts three of Phidias's own official sources:
1. Help Center Article 4: "If your BALANCE reaches and exceeds the value of your drawdown limit, you will be liquidated" — my balance never did.
2. Official website: "A temporary spike against your position won't kill your account" — it did.
3. Written confirmation from Phidias support (received before purchase): "Open positions are not included in the EOD check, regardless of their unrealized profit or loss" — my open position triggered the liquidation.
I sent three formal dispute emails with full evidence. One dismissive response was received (no engagement with the arguments). Two emails — including one confirmed received via their help portal — have been ignored for 4+ days.
UPDATE — same evening as this review: I raised the dispute on their public French Discord with the same evidence. A staff member replied "your account was liquidated, I don't see the issue" without addressing a single argument. My messages were then deleted and my account was banned. Their replies remain visible. Mine were removed.
I specifically chose Phidias over other prop firms because of these exact rules. The written confirmation from their own support team was a determining factor in my purchase. A chargeback has now been initiated.
I would have preferred Phidias to honor their own written rules.
