20.Express To Live (ETL / E2L) Accounts Rules

Updated

Express to Live (E2L) accounts offer immediate and simplified access to a LIVE funded account, with no subscription and no hidden fees. The E2L range is available in 4 sizes: 25K, 50K, 100K, and 150K. Every E2L account uses a fixed static drawdown (never trails), has zero minimum trading days, no consistency rule, and allows news trading at every stage (Evaluation, CASH, LIVE).

Liquidation formula: Liquidation Threshold = Initial Capital − Static Drawdown. The account is liquidated if the balance reaches or falls below this threshold. The static drawdown never trails.

How It Works — E2L Path to LIVE

1 Choose Your E2L Size

Pick 25K, 50K, 100K, or 150K based on your capital appetite. Each size has its own profit target, static drawdown, and LIVE credit.

2 Evaluation Phase

Trade until you reach the profit target for your account size. Static drawdown, no minimum days, no consistency rule, no daily loss limit. News trading allowed.

3 Funded CASH Account

Once the evaluation is passed, your account is converted to a funded CASH account with the same rules. Reach the profit target again on the CASH account.

4 Click "Switch to Live"

When the target is reached on the CASH account, click the "Switch to Live" button. The fixed Bonus Payout is automatically credited to your Phidias Wallet (subject to the 80/20 profit split), the LIVE credit is applied to your new LIVE account, and your CASH account is converted to a LIVE trading account. No withdrawal request needed, no minimum trading days, no balance threshold.

LIVE Account — From E2L

When an E2L CASH account is converted to LIVE, the following parameters apply:

LIVE from E2L 25K — Max Contracts 2 lots
LIVE from E2L 50K — Max Contracts 3 lots
LIVE from E2L 100K — Max Contracts 4 lots
LIVE from E2L 150K — Max Contracts 5 lots
Static Loss (LIVE) Extensible — grows with cumulative credits
Exchanges CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX
Minimum Balance Equals total cumulative LIVE credit
Monthly Fees $122/month (waived)
Profit Split 80% Trader / 20% Phidias
LIVE Payout Every day, no max limit ($500 min)
Overnight / Over-Week Not permitted (unless agreed)

The static loss is "extensible" — it grows as the trader accumulates additional LIVE credits from validating more E2L accounts. The LIVE account balance minimum equals the total cumulative LIVE credit.

Cumulative LIVE Credits — Multiple E2L Accounts

Traders can validate multiple E2L accounts (up to 5, all sizes combined). Each validated E2L account adds a cumulative LIVE credit to the trader's LIVE account:

1x E2L 25K validated +$500 LIVE credit
2x E2L 25K validated +$1,000 cumulative LIVE credit
1x E2L 50K validated +$1,000 LIVE credit
1x E2L 100K validated +$1,500 LIVE credit
1x E2L 150K validated +$2,000 LIVE credit

Maximum 5 E2L accounts per trader (all types combined: CASH + LIVE). The E2L 150K is limited to 1 account per trader with no cumulation. In case of failure on a LIVE trading account derived from E2L, the trader will not be able to subscribe to a new E2L challenge for 1 month.
