Verdict. Purdia Capital suits experienced futures traders who want end-of-day trailing drawdown, no consistency rule, and a stated pathway from simulated funding to live capital at partner brokerages — a combination few futures props offer together. It does not suit traders who need the cheapest possible entry or an established name: the firm is a small Delaware LLC trading since late 2022 with a modest public review base. The biggest caveat: the live-account pathway and the payout record both rest largely on the firm’s own representations, with no audited data published.
Key terms at a glance (per Purdia’s published rules and DamnPropFirms’ 2026 terms compilation):
- Account sizes: $10,000–$150,000 across four routes — Beginner 2-Step, EOD Evaluation, Pro Evaluation, Instant Funding
- List pricing: Beginner from $79 ($10,000); EOD Evaluation from $179 ($50,000)
- Profit targets: $3,000 on the $50,000 EOD; $6,000 on the $100,000 EOD
- Drawdown: end-of-day trailing — $2,000 ($50,000) and $3,000 ($100,000); one $100,000 Pro variant uses intraday trailing
- Daily loss limits: $1,000 ($50,000) and $2,000 ($100,000) — soft limits, not automatic breaches
- Profit split: up to 90/10 in the trader’s favour; no consistency rule on any account
- Payouts: first after 10 funded trading days plus target; anytime thereafter, reviewed in ~24 hours, paid in 1–3 business days via ACH, wire or Wise
- Platforms: NinjaTrader, TradingView, Tradovate and R-Trader on CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX products
What Purdia Capital is
Purdia Capital LLC is a Delaware-registered futures prop firm founded by Jonas Attiah, operating since December 2022, per DamnPropFirms. Traders buy an evaluation — or skip it via Instant Funding — and trade simulated accounts on real futures products, with the firm advertising an eventual transition to live funded accounts at partner brokerages. That live pathway is the firm’s core differentiator in a futures-prop market where almost every “funded account” is and remains a simulation, a distinction that matters more since sim-heavy peers began capping lifetime sim payouts, as Elite Trader Funding does at $25,000.
Payouts: the claim, the record, and what we could not verify
The published payout mechanics are competitive: the first withdrawal requires 10 trading days in the funded account plus the programme’s profit target, after which traders can request payouts at any time, with reviews inside roughly 24 hours and settlement in one to three business days via ACH, international wire or Wise. The split runs to 90/10. What we could not verify is more important. Purdia publishes no audited payout totals, so there is no independent figure for how much has actually been paid, to how many traders, or how often requests are denied. Trustpilot shows a 4.1/5 rating across only about 73 reviews, per DamnPropFirms — too thin a base to establish a pattern in either direction. Sources also conflict on fees: TheTrustedProp lists a $130 activation fee while DamnPropFirms reports none at the funding stage — treat the activation cost as unconfirmed and check the checkout maths before paying. Notably, Purdia is absent from the lists traders volunteer when asked which firms they trust. As one r/propfirm user answered that exact question in July 2026: “Lucid, TopStep, TakeProfitTrader, Tradeify, MFFU, FTMO, FundedNext, FundingPips, Kraken-Breakout(crypto)” — no Purdia. Absence from community shortlists is not evidence of a problem, but it is evidence of a short track record.
The rules that void accounts
Purdia’s rule set removes the two mechanics that end most futures-prop accounts — there is no consistency rule, and the trailing drawdown is calculated end-of-day rather than intraday on standard accounts, so an intraday spike against an open position does not breach the account if it recovers by the close. Three mechanics still bite. First, the one $100,000 Pro Evaluation variant uses true intraday trailing — traders who assume EOD mechanics on that specific account will breach it. Second, the daily loss limits ($1,000 on the $50,000; $2,000 on the $100,000) are soft, but repeated violations invite review. Third, on live accounts the drawdown buffer is built from the trader’s own accumulated profits — the firm’s capital is protected first, which is the real economics of every live-pathway offer. Contract limits cap size at 10 minis or 100 micros on $100,000 accounts and half that on $50,000 accounts.
How it compares
| Purdia ($50k EOD) | My Funded Futures ($50k) | Elite Trader Funding | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry fee (list) | $179 | from $157 | from $16.50 |
| Profit target | $3,000 | ~$3,000 (6%) | varies by plan |
| Drawdown type | EOD trailing ($2,000) | EOD trailing ($2,100 buffer) | trailing |
| Profit split | up to 90% | 90% (Rapid, since Jan 12, 2026) | 50/50 first $4,000 area, then up |
| Min days to first payout | 10 | payout-eligible 24h after first trade (Rapid, $500 net) | varies |
| Sim payout cap | none stated; live pathway | none stated | $25,000 lifetime, then live |
| Consistency rule | none | none (Rapid) | none on some plans |
My Funded Futures figures per PickMyTrade and Lune rules guides, 2026; Elite Trader Funding per our July 2026 review. The pattern: Purdia is neither the cheapest entry nor the fastest first payout — My Funded Futures’ Rapid accounts beat it on both — but it is the only one of the three whose standard offer is built around an uncapped path to live execution rather than a permanent simulation.
Regulatory posture
Purdia Capital LLC is a Delaware limited liability company and is not regulated by any financial authority — the standard posture for futures prop firms, which sell evaluations rather than brokerage services. Evaluation and funded accounts are simulated; the live funded accounts the firm advertises are held at partner brokerages, and the capital in them is the firm’s, not the trader’s. No client-money protections, SIPC coverage or compensation scheme applies at any stage. US futures props have begun moving toward voluntary oversight — My Funded Futures is pursuing National Futures Association registration — but Purdia has announced no equivalent step, and traders should price that difference.
FAQ
Is Purdia Capital legit?
It is a real Delaware-registered firm operating since December 2022, founded by Jonas Attiah, with a 4.1/5 Trustpilot rating over roughly 73 reviews. It is not regulated, publishes no audited payout data, and has a short track record — a normal profile for a young futures prop, which cuts both ways.
How do Purdia Capital payouts work?
The first payout requires 10 trading days in the funded account and the programme’s profit target. After that, withdrawals can be requested at any time; the firm reviews requests in about 24 hours and settles in one to three business days via ACH, international wire or Wise, at a split of up to 90/10.
What is Purdia’s drawdown rule?
End-of-day trailing on standard accounts: $2,000 on the $50,000 and $3,000 on the $100,000, recalculated at the close rather than tick by tick. One $100,000 Pro Evaluation variant uses intraday trailing instead — check which account type you hold, because the two behave very differently in a fast market.
Does Purdia Capital offer real live accounts?
That is the pitch: qualified sim-funded traders who hit targets, meet minimum days and pass risk checks transition to live accounts at partner brokerages with real market execution. The pathway’s mechanics are published, but no independent data exists on how many traders have actually made the transition.
Does Purdia have a consistency rule?
No — none is stated on any account type, which removes the most common hidden trap in futures-prop rulebooks. Size discipline still applies through contract limits (10 minis or 100 micros on $100,000 accounts) and the soft daily loss limits of $1,000–$2,000 depending on account size.
