Overview
Purdia Capital is a futures prop firm run from Middletown, Delaware. You can either pass a one-step evaluation on a monthly plan or pay once for an instant funded account. Its pitch is a defined path from simulated funding to a live brokerage account through Tradovate or NinjaTrader, so it suits traders who care about reaching real capital more than about headline account sizes.
How the evaluation works
EOD Evaluation (50K, 100K): 6% target, an end-of-day trailing drawdown of 4% or 3%, and a 2% daily loss limit. Five trading days minimum.
Pro Evaluation (100K): 6% target with a $3,000 intraday trailing drawdown and no daily limit. Five days minimum.
Instant Funded (25K, 50K): no evaluation. A 3% end-of-day drawdown, and you need the payout target, 10 trading days and five profitable days before the first payout.
Static Instant Funded (100K, 150K): a fixed drawdown that never trails, a 1% daily loss limit and the same 10-day wait.
Passing an evaluation triggers a $130 activation fee.
Rules worth knowing
News trading is allowed. Semi-automated tools are fine if you watch every trade, but unattended bots are banned. You can copy trades across your own accounts within the product limit, which is three accounts on most programs. Hedging across correlated markets, such as long ES and short NQ, can get you removed. Only one trader is allowed per household, address and IP, and an account with no trading for 30 days is marked inactive.
Getting paid
Every program pays a 90% split. Once you've met the first payout conditions, you can request payouts daily without qualifying again. The site doesn't list payout methods publicly, so ask support before you buy.

What traders say
Scores from the sites traders use, and our summary of what they're saying, checked 6 October 2026.
Purdia Capital is a small futures firm whose reviews have turned less favourable this year. It has 3.8 on Trustpilot from about 90 reviews, down from around 4.5 early in 2026, and the drop lines up with a run of complaints about slow payouts. Earlier reviews are mostly warm about the support and the simple rules. The firm's draw is that funded traders can move to a live brokerage account.
What traders like
Simple rules. Reviewers on Trustpilot and Reddit like the 90% split, no consistency rule and qualifying for payouts once rather than repeatedly.
Helpful support. Several reviewers describe patient, friendly support, and some mention the owner's involvement as a plus.
Payouts that do arrive. Many reviewers say they have never been denied a payout, and one reports more than ten requests paid within one to three days.
Live accounts. Traders like that the path ends in a real Tradovate account, and some Reddit users rate the instant live accounts.
Common complaints
Slow payouts. The most common complaint: several Trustpilot reviewers say payouts took weeks, some close to a month, well past the advertised one to three business days. A review site also notes payouts can take a couple of weeks.
Slow moves to live accounts. Reddit users say getting a live account took anywhere from a week to a couple of months.
Communication. A few recent reviewers say replies slowed or stopped while they waited for payouts.
Changing policies. Some say the firm has shifted its model and rules over time, closer to what other firms offer.
Recently
July to September 2026: recent Trustpilot reviews include traders who say payouts requested in July were still pending weeks later, and one who reads the delays as a sign of trouble. Trustpilot's score was 3.8 when a review site checked it on 18 September, below the 4.3 another site reported in July.
