Here's the short version before I dig in.
Purdia Capital is a futures prop firm registered in Delaware, operating since December 2022. They offer four evaluation models, payouts every 10 days, and profit splits up to 90%. They also have an instant funding option. Their TTP Trust Score sits at 3.6 out of 5, with a user rating of 2.8 from limited reviews. The CEO is Jonas. The legal name is Purdia Capital LLC, registration number 7022539.
Now let me walk through what actually matters if you're considering them.
Purdia Capital is a futures prop firm. That means they give you access to a simulated funded account, and if you trade within their rules, they split the profits with you. They don't handle your own capital in a live market. You pay a monthly fee for the evaluation or instant account.
Their address is 651 N Broad St, Suite 201, Middletown, DE 19709. That's a standard Delaware incorporation address, nothing unusual about it. Many US-based prop firms register in Delaware for the business-friendly laws.
They've been around since December 2022. That makes them about three and a half years old. Not brand new, but not a veteran either. For reference, FTMO launched in 2015, FTUK in 2018. Three years is enough time to establish a track record if things are going well, and enough time for problems to surface if they're not.
The CEO is Jonas. No last name given in the data. That's a bit thin on transparency. Most established prop firms name their full leadership team publicly. Purdia lists a CEO but no COO, CTO, CMO, or founder details. Also no LinkedIn profiles attached to the firm profile. Traders should factor that in when deciding how comfortable they are handing over money.
Purdia Capital runs four separate programs. Each has different rules, different pricing, and different risk profiles. Let me break them down one by one.
This is a one-phase challenge. You get a $100,000 simulated account, you need to hit 6% profit, and you can't lose more than 3% total. The daily loss is set at 0%, which means the drawdown is based on a trailing high-water mark, not a fixed percentage of the starting balance. More on what that actually means in a second.
The drawdown type here is trailing. Your max loss follows your equity higher. If you start at $100K and make it to $103K, your new max loss floor is $100K (3% of $103K would be higher, but the 3% applies to the highest balance). Actually, let me be precise. A 3% trailing drawdown means if you reach $103K, your stop-out level rises to $99,910. If you reach $105K, it rises to $101,850. So the drawdown never resets. It locks in as you climb.
You keep 90% of profits. That's on the higher end of the industry. Payouts come every 10 days. Minimum trading days is 5. Unlimited time to hit the target. Contract size is 10 minis or 100 micros. Copy trading is allowed.
The price: $99 per month. That's cheap for a $100K challenge, especially one with 90% profit share. But remember, it's monthly. If you don't pass in month one, you're paying again.
What I notice: The daily drawdown is 0%. That doesn't mean no daily loss limit. It means the daily loss limit is identical to the total drawdown because it's trailing. Every day, your max loss is recalculated based on your highest equity. That's tighter than it sounds. If you have a good day and hit $103K, you can't drop below about $99,910. A single bad trade on a volatile news day could breach that.
The EOD program uses end-of-day drawdown, not trailing. That's a different risk profile.
On the $100K version: 3% total drawdown, 2% daily loss, 6% profit target, 70% profit share. Payouts every 10 days. Minimum 5 trading days. Unlimited time.
On the $50K version: 4% total drawdown, 2% daily loss, 6% profit target, 70% profit share. Everything else the same but contract size drops to 5 minis or 50 micros.
The price gap is strange. The $100K EOD evaluation costs $299/month. The $50K version costs $99/month. That's three times the price for double the account size. Usually firms price more linearly. This might mean the $100K EOD has different terms baked in, or it might just be odd pricing. Either way, the $50K version looks like better value on paper.
EOD drawdown means your daily loss resets at market close. You can lose 2% in a day, but the next day your limit resets. That's more forgiving than trailing drawdown for traders who have one bad day but recover. The catch is the trailing version protects the firm better, so firms that use EOD are usually taking on more risk themselves.
Here's where it gets interesting.
The $10K account costs $79/month. Profit target is 10%. Total drawdown is 10%. Daily loss is 2.5%. Trailing drawdown. Profit share is 70%. Contract size is only 5 micros. That's tiny.
The $25K account costs $119/month. Profit target is 8%. Total drawdown is 8%. Daily loss is 2%. Trailing drawdown. Profit share is 70%. Contract size is 10 micros.
The problem with the $10K version: A $79 monthly fee for a $10K account with 5 micros contract size is expensive relative to what you're getting. You can only trade 5 micros at a time, which on ES futures is about $50 per point. To hit 10% ($1,000 profit), you'd need some decent moves. With such small position limits, it might take a while. And you're paying $79 every month you don't pass.
The 10% total drawdown is generous compared to the other programs. You get a $1,000 cushion. But the 2.5% daily loss with trailing drawdown means a $250 intraday loss locks in that floor.
Who is this actually for? The name says beginners, but the pricing structure doesn't look beginner-friendly. A $25K account from FTMO costs about the same upfront and doesn't charge monthly. Other firms charge a flat one-time fee. Purdia charges monthly until you pass.
This is the no-evaluation path. You pay upfront, get a funded account immediately.
No profit target. Total drawdown is 3%. Daily loss is 0% (trailing). Profit share is 90%. Payouts every 10 days. Minimum 10 trading days. Unlimited time.
The $50K version costs $449/month. The $100K version costs $749/month.
Is this worth it? Compare with other firms. FTMO's instant funding-like products are cheaper. The5ers has instant funding at lower monthly costs. $449 for $50K is steep. $749 for $100K is also steep.
The trade-off is you skip the evaluation entirely. If you're confident you can trade profitably and not breach the 3% trailing drawdown, you start earning from day one. But the monthly fee means you need to generate enough profit to cover $449 or $749 before you actually take home anything.
With a 3% trailing drawdown on $50K, your max loss is $1,500. That's your total buffer. If you lose that, the account is gone. And if you make money, the drawdown tightens.
Let me be specific here because this is where traders get caught.
Trailing drawdown — used in Pro Evaluation, Beginner Evaluation, and Instant Funding.
Say you start the Pro Evaluation ($100K) with a 3% trailing drawdown.
Day 1: Starting balance $100K. Max loss = $3,000. You can trade until equity hits $97,000.
Day 1 end: You're at $101,500. New max loss = $98,455 (3% below $101,500).
Day 2: You drop to $99,200. Still above $98,455. You're fine.
Day 2 end: You're at $102,000. New max loss = $98,940.
Day 3: You drop to $98,500. Breach. Account terminated.
See what happened? A winning day moved the floor up. Then a losing day that would have been fine on the original $97K floor became a breach.
EOD drawdown — used in EOD Evaluation programs.
Day 1: Starting balance $100K. Daily loss limit = $2,000 (2%). Max total loss = $3,000 (3%).
Day 1: You lose $1,500. You're fine for the day. Max total loss remaining = $1,500.
Day 2: Daily loss limit resets to $2,000. But your total loss remaining is $1,500. So you actually can't lose $2,000 today without breaching overall.
The EOD version is more forgiving for daily swings. The trailing version is more punishing after winning streaks.
Purdia Capital says payouts come every 10 days. That's fast. Most firms do monthly or bi-weekly. Every 10 days means roughly three payouts per month.
Methods offered: PayPal or direct bank transfer via Mercury Bank.
The PayPal issue: Paypal charges a commercial transaction fee on business payments. That comes out of your payout. You should ask Purdia what percentage that is before you expect your full profit share.
Mercury Bank transfers: Mercury is a US-based online bank for startups. It's legitimate. But the process involves receiving a form from Mercury to process the transfer. That's an extra step. Some firms make this seamless. Others drag their feet.
One important rule: Withdrawing 100% of profits can get you permanently disqualified from future funding. That's in the cons section of the firm data. So if you hit a payout and take everything, you might not be allowed back. You'd need to leave some profits in the account to stay eligible.
No payout proof found. The data shows zero payout proof from TheTrustedProp's database. That doesn't mean no one has been paid. It means no verified evidence is available on the platform. Traders should search forums and social media for real payout screenshots. If you find none, that's a yellow flag.
Purdia Capital offers a scaling plan. But it's not automatic. It's based on a "collaborative review process" between the trader and a risk manager.
Initial parameters:
Account | Starting Balance | Max Drawdown | Max Position Size |
$100K | $100K | $3,000 | 10 minis / 100 micros |
$50K | $50K | $2,000 | 5 minis / 50 micros |
$25K | $25K | $1,000 | 2 minis / 20 micros |
Scaling criteria:
Profit consistency — sustained profitability over weeks, not occasional gains
Risk management — effective handling of losses and staying within limits
Trading behavior — disciplined and mindful habits
Market adaptability — adjusting to market changes smoothly
Communication and professionalism — proactive contact with the risk manager
What I don't like about this: The scaling is not formulaic. It's a person's decision. That introduces subjectivity. One risk manager might approve you, another might not. There's no published table showing "hit X profit over Y weeks and get Z account size increase."
Compare this with firms like FTMO or FundedNext that publish clear scaling rules. FTMO: 10% profit in 4 months, account doubles. FundedNext: predefined growth tiers. Purdia's approach is more opaque.
The criteria mention "sustained profitability over weeks." That's vague. Does two weeks of profit count? Eight weeks? What if you have three good weeks and one bad week? These questions don't have public answers.
Allowed:
News trading — yes, during evaluation and funded phases
Copy trading — yes, across all programs
EA trading — yes, but with conditions
Scalping — yes
Hedging — not mentioned as prohibited, but check the terms
Weekend holding — yes
Overnight holding — yes
Not allowed:
Fully automated "set-and-forget" systems or 24/7 EAs without real-time human management
Gambling-based trading strategies
The EA restriction is important. Purdia says you can use EAs, but they must involve active management or be semi-automated. Fully running a bot in the background without supervision is not allowed. If you're someone who likes to set up a strategy and leave it running, check the firm's exact wording before buying.
No consistency rule. That's a plus. Some firms force you to spread your profits evenly across trading days. Purdia doesn't. If you hit 6% in two days, you're done. That works well for aggressive scalpers.
Platform: Tradovate. No MT4, MT5, or cTrader. If you're a forex trader used to MetaTrader, this is a hard no. Tradovate is futures-only. It runs in-browser and on desktop. It's clean and fast, but it's not what everyone wants.
Purdia Capital blocks traders from a large number of countries. Here's the complete list from the firm profile:
Afghanistan, Albania, Antarctica, Barbados, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo, Croatia, Cuba, Ethiopia, Gibraltar, Haiti, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, North Korea, Kosovo, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Mauritius, Monaco, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Senegal, Serbia, Slovenia, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, UAE, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen, Zimbabwe.
Also the United States. That's right — US traders can't join. This is a futures prop firm registered in Delaware that doesn't accept US residents. That's unusual but not unheard of. US regulations around prop trading and futures are complex. Some firms choose to exclude US residents to avoid regulatory complications.
If you're in any of these countries, you can't buy a challenge. If you're a US trader, you're also blocked. Check the full list on their website before applying.
Let me lay out the pricing across all programs.
Program | Account Size | Monthly Fee |
Pro Evaluation | $100K | $99 |
EOD Evaluation | $100K | $299 |
EOD Evaluation | $50K | $99 |
Beginner Evaluation | $10K | $79 |
Beginner Evaluation | $25K | $119 |
Instant Funding | $50K | $449 |
Instant Funding | $100K | $749 |
The EOD $100K at $299 stands out. That's expensive. Most firms offer $100K challenges for $300-$500 as a one-time fee. Purdia charges $299 monthly. If you take two months to pass, that's $598. Three months, $897.
The Pro Evaluation at $99 for $100K is more competitive. But it uses trailing drawdown, which is harder.
The Instant Funding at $449 for $50K and $749 for $100K is priced like a premium product. You're paying for the convenience of skipping the eval. But you're also paying every month, forever. If you don't generate enough profit, the fee eats into your returns.
Let me write these from my own read of the firm, not copying the provided list.
Pros
Four different evaluation models means most trader types can find something that fits. Beginners get a small account with wider drawdown. Experienced traders get a one-phase challenge with high profit share. Instant funding exists for people who don't want to prove themselves first.
The 90% profit split on Pro and Instant programs is genuinely good. Most firms top out at 80-85%. 90% is competitive.
No consistency rule. You can hit your target in one concentrated trade if you manage risk. Some traders hate being forced to spread profits across days.
News trading allowed. Some firms ban news entirely. Purdia lets you trade it, though funded accounts may face higher margin requirements during big events.
Copy trading is allowed across all programs. That's useful for people who follow signal providers or run multiple accounts.
Unlimited time on all programs. No clock pressure. You can take as long as you need to hit the target.
Every 10-day payouts are faster than industry standard. Most firms do monthly. Getting paid three times a month helps with cash flow.
Cons
The monthly subscription model is expensive if you don't pass quickly. Most firms charge a one-time fee. Purdia charges monthly until you pass. The $10K Beginner at $79/month is particularly bad value when other firms offer similar account sizes for less.
Trailing drawdown on most programs makes the risk tighter than it first appears. A 3% trailing drawdown on a $100K account means your actual room to trade shrinks as you win. One bad trade after a winning streak can end your account.
The $100K EOD at $299/month is overpriced compared to competitors. Compare with FTMO at about $350 one-time or FundedNext at similar one-time pricing. If you need two months to pass Purdia's EOD, you've spent $598.
Only Tradovate for platform. No MT4, MT5, cTrader, or TradingView integration confirmed. Futures traders may be fine with this. Forex traders won't be.
Limited to three funded accounts. If you want to scale beyond that, you can't. Some firms let you hold five or ten funded accounts.
Banned countries list is extensive. 50+ countries blocked including the US. That excludes a huge chunk of potential traders.
The scaling plan is subjective. It depends on a risk manager's opinion, not a clear formula. That creates uncertainty about whether you'll actually get scaled.
No verified payout proof on TheTrustedProp. One single review exists, and it's not a genuine trader review — it's a recovery spam message. That means the review database doesn't help traders judge real experiences yet.
Withdrawing all profits disqualifies you from future funding. That's a weird rule. If you earn money and want to take it out, you might get cut off. You have to leave some profit in the account to stay active.
Let me compare across a few dimensions.
Pricing against FTMO: FTMO charges a one-time fee of about $350 for a $100K challenge (with 10% profit target, 10% max drawdown). Purdia's Pro Evaluation is $99/month with 6% target and 3% drawdown. If you pass in one month, Purdia is cheaper. If it takes three months, Purdia costs more. FTMO's drawdown is also much more generous at 10% vs 3%.
Pricing against FundedNext: FundedNext offers $100K for about $319 one-time with up to 80% profit split. Purdia's $99/month with 90% split looks good if you pass fast. But FundedNext has a reputation for paying consistently and has thousands of reviews. Purdia has one review on TTP.
Instant funding comparison: The5ers offers instant funding at lower monthly fees. Their $100K account with profit share starts around $500/month. Purdia charges $749 for the same. The5ers also has more platform options and a longer track record.
Payout frequency: Most firms do monthly. Purdia does every 10 days. That's genuinely better IF they pay on time. But without payout proof, it's hard to verify.
No regulatory oversight. Prop firms aren't typically regulated like brokers, but some operate under financial service licenses in the UK or Cyprus. Purdia is a Delaware LLC. That means if something goes wrong, your legal recourse is limited to US civil courts. For international traders, that's impractical.
One review on TTP, and it's spam. The only review on TheTrustedProp is from someone promoting a recovery service, not a real trader review. That doesn't mean the firm is bad. It means the review database doesn't help you. You'd need to search Reddit, Forex Peace Army, Discord, and Telegram groups for real trader experiences.
No web traffic data. TheTrustedProp's web traffic lookup returned a 404. That means not enough data to estimate how many people visit Purdia's site. For a firm operating since 2022, you'd expect some measurable traffic.
No forum posts or social posts tracked. Zero discussions on the platform. That could mean the community hasn't engaged, or it could mean the data just isn't indexed.
CEO transparency is thin. Just "Jonas" with no last name or LinkedIn profile. Most firms at least show a leadership page.
You might like Purdia if:
You trade futures and are comfortable with Tradovate
You want a one-phase challenge with a 6% target
You're confident you can pass in one to two months (making the monthly fee cheaper than a one-time fee)
You want fast payouts every 10 days
You want 90% profit share on the Pro or Instant programs
You trade news events and don't want restrictions
You should probably skip Purdia if:
You're a forex trader who uses MT4 or MT5
You're from the US or one of the 50+ banned countries
You want a one-time fee model rather than monthly payments
You want an automatic scaling plan with clear rules
You prefer larger drawdown allowances (10%+)
You want to run fully automated EAs without supervision
You want to hold more than three funded accounts
Purdia Capital is a mixed bag. Some of their programs look competitive on paper. The Pro Evaluation at $99/month with 90% profit share is a decent deal if you pass quickly. The instant funding option exists for people who want to skip evals. Payouts every 10 days are genuinely fast.
But there are gaps. The pricing on the $100K EOD and the $10K Beginner programs doesn't make much sense. The 3% trailing drawdown on most programs is tight and catches traders who push their luck after winning streaks. The banned country list excludes a huge number of traders. The scaling process is subjective. And the lack of verified payout proof or meaningful trader reviews means you're buying on trust rather than evidence.
I'd put Purdia in the "approach with caution" category. Check their website for any recent rule changes. Search for trader experiences on forums before paying. Confirm the pricing hasn't changed since this was written. And if you do try them, start with the smallest account size to test the payout process before scaling up.
Trading challenges always involve risk. Most traders don't pass evaluations. Always read the firm's latest rules before buying.
Does Purdia Capital allow copy trading? Yes, copy trading is allowed across all funding programs.
How do payouts work? Payouts are available every 10 days via PayPal or direct bank transfer through Mercury Bank. PayPal charges a commercial transaction fee. Bank transfers require a form from Mercury.
What countries are banned? Over 50 countries including the US, plus most of Africa, the Middle East, parts of Europe, and Asia. Full list is in the article above. Check their website for updates.
Can I trade during news events? Yes, news trading is allowed in evaluation and funded phases. Funded accounts may face higher margin requirements during high-impact events.
How does the scaling plan work? Scaling is decided through a review process with a Purdia risk manager. Criteria include profit consistency, risk management, trading behavior, market adaptability, and communication. There's no published automatic formula.
Are EAs allowed? Yes, but only semi-automated or actively managed EAs. Fully automated 24/7 "set-and-forget" systems are prohibited.
What platform do they use? Tradovate, a futures-focused platform. No MT4, MT5, or cTrader.
Is there a consistency rule? No consistency rule is applied on funded accounts.
How many funded accounts can I hold? A maximum of three funded accounts.
What happens if I withdraw all my profits? You can get permanently disqualified from future funding. You need to leave some profits in the account to remain eligible.
Disclaimer: This review is based on information available as of May 2026. Prop firm rules, pricing, and policies change frequently. Always verify the current terms on Purdia Capital's official website before purchasing any challenge. Trading challenges involve financial risk. Most traders do not pass evaluations and may lose their challenge fees.
