Phidias Propfirm New Year Offer: 80% Off OTP and Up to 60% Off Challenge Pricing

Paiement ultra rapide, Support ultra efficace, au top, funded et payout en 2 jours. Merci

So far, it's not been the best but not the worst either.
Big Issue up front - I had purchased an account before the 2.0 switch that they released 2 days later. It switches and leaves me in the old setup instead of Switching to the 2.0? Apparently, I have to pay again to gain access to the premium (swing account) that I already have paid for and passed to gain access to Tradingview. At least give the people who have paid already an option to switch or give them Login information for that since they are already members more on that further down.
1. Minimum days to pass - Phidias claims that there is no minimum day requirement to pass your eval. but I met mine on day 2 and still had to wait an additional 24 hours to get the eval passed after well passing the target as it showed it required 3 days to pass.
2. No activation fee - I find it unfair that you want to trade with this prop firm and meet the target for it and then still I have to pay another $149 for an activation fee? One-time payments are the only ones that have the free activation, and I find that a little insincere.
3. customer service - Takes a while but is friendly but often asks for pictures. It's an account issue there and they should be able to see this on the server side. quite annoying to not have live customer service and only get replies 24 HRS after you request service.
4. Swing traders - At least this was done correctly. In the many things that aren't going as planned. at least they did allow overnight holding as well as news trading like they said.
5. Tradovate and tradingview - They just started using tradovate and trading view which is good as you can connect it to trading view now (my preferred platform). The only issue is that I can't find a detailed way to start using trad ovate with the rhythmic accounts. It would be much more stable than the platforms that are connected now and needs to have more information on how to switch if you were using another platform before the switch.
Overall, There are some major red flags here when it comes to what they have but I'm going to see how this is resolved and update the post here.
Update: OTP (one time payment) accounts are the only ones that can get the activation fee waived. I went to get the activation done and was forced to wait 3 hrs. because they said they already attempted to switch it and to try again then. Quite insulting to do that to your traders who were asking about it.
update 2: I contacted support to get the account switched over and they just simply replied that I MUST wait 3 hrs. even though I tried to contact support to ask about the fee and it timed out. Quite concerning and aggravating as a trader. Definitely lessened my opinion on this firm.
Update 3: Once I switch to the cash account I will be able to use tradingview with my account from what ive been told.
By this point there are many firms that have an activation free subscription. The ONLY thing that is really separating these guys is the ability to swing trade which is my preferred style of trading.
Happy Trading!

That company recently started to scam people by banning them from the discord and deleting there accounts.

My first $10,000 payout with Phidias was approved, confirmed, and shown as credited to my Phidias Wallet. I traded about two months on five funded $50K accounts to get there. The money never reached me.
On 22 April, Phidias emailed me that my payout request was successfully registered and being processed. The same day, they sent a cash withdrawal confirmation saying the funds were successfully processed and credited to my Phidias Wallet.
After that, I waited. The payment did not arrive. Support kept turning it into alleged Rise/payment connection issues or pending status in their system. I sent the proof they asked for: Rise was ready to receive payments and the documents were already signed. It still just got dragged out.
After I had already been waiting unpaid for around one and a half weeks, Phidias listed me publicly in their April top 5 payouts leaderboard with a $10,000 payout using my full name. They used this unpaid payout in their marketing (Discord and emails), although I never received any money.
I tried to solve it privately first. I sent and answered 30+ emails, then went to their Discord support because email was going nowhere. Every answer became another delay, another supposed setup issue, or pending/internal update.
The last answer I got from Discord support was to wait 24-48 business hours until I would get payed. After that, I woke up the next morning banned from their Discord. The support messages were deleted, my Phidias account was locked so I could no longer log in, and they have not answered any of my messages since.
Phidias approved my payout, showed it as credited, advertised it publicly, dragged out the actual payment with supposed setup/pending issues, then banned me, locked me out, deleted the support
messages, and stopped answering me. I am still unpaid.
Until this is resolved, I would warn other traders not to trust Phidias payout marketing.

Customer support was prompt and ive had no trouble with my accounts!
