No Empathy No Accountability
No commitment, No seriousness.
The Good:
I liked the vision of the founder and belief that it's not like any other prop-firm trying to milk from the trader's eval money; but actually pushing them to live-platform to take commission out of their wins.
They are trying to make your experience as close as real direct trading with exchanges.
I liked the 1 time fees for their instant Funded account, where you can take it slow, no emotional rush to win it within 4 weeks or pay subscription fees for another month.
Its no consistency & no min profit rules for payout are no.1 in the industry. Nobody promises payouts so easy. And that's the reason I am giving the 2nd chance every month, for 2 years.
The Bad:
Their ALL accounts are quite EXPENSIVE. & If they are expensive then others, I expect top-notch service and quality from other areas. But sadly there's none.
No effort is made to create any helpful tutorial videos or FAQ/screenshots for onboarding.
It's just agent/provider of NinaTrader/Tradovate simulation account for evaluation stage. No burden on their end. Their role comes at verifying and approving payouts and they are doing a pathetic and slow job in that department. Delay/slow in payment & approval for live exchange is very common discussion/feedback there and they are well aware of it.
They are trying to make a web-dashboard & mobile app with many experimental features nobody cares or nobody asked for and yet they haven't shipped it in 2 YEARS. I wonder why I have just 50 XP despite actively trading with their accounts, since 2 years and purchasing dozens of evals. If that feature is not ready, why publish it? If we are a beta/alpha subject users any thank you note or discount or free evals?
The Ugly:
The founder rarely shows up and when he shows up live-streaming he makes the same promises months after month, with no result or delivery. His physical prop-desk is lying empty; no salary/dedicated stipend given to traders as promised yet. He need to setup survey/meeting interviews with his loyal and new users to be in sync with what they are missing and what they are building. (or what they should be building after taking the feedback or reading such reviews).
Maybe they should work on their marketing, messaging, communication/hiring influencer/streamers to bring awareness about their rules and policy, so that there'll be less expectation or reliance on support forums.
Its discord forums is the hell and unwelcoming for a customer/user there. If you try to ask question or participate in the discussion the SPAM BOT would warn you that you're 'spamming the forums. Don't get me started on its mod, HARPER. He/she is pain in the neck to talk to. He never answers you straight. He lacks empathy and treats you like an idiot.
The ugly truth is it's a sinking ship, (watch his recent videos to understand the current chaos) so you better find the alternatives.

I still want to believe in this company.
When I first heard of Purdia around the time they opened I was really intrigued and excited. I liked their philosophy and the way they were trying to set themselves apart from these other companies. I liked the fact they only allowed one account because they weren't trying to push this craziness of getting someone to buy multiple accounts and make money off of the gamblers.
I really didn't mind the fact the profit split was less than their competitors because I was excited they offered coaching and resources to continue to develop you as a trader.
Three months ago, I was invited to a coaching session because I made mention of my struggles in trading on social media. I was excited when I made my appointment and was told my issues were common, and they have been able to get people through them to improve. When my meeting happened, I was told I would get a spreadsheet and they would go over my trades with me on another session. I was told I could email directly.
I waited. I waited about two days, and then sent a follow up email because I thought maybe they forgot. No reply. I waited a little longer because surely it was because it was around the holidays. I sent a message to customer service because I didn't want to be a bother to the person who helped me. I asked if they had that spreadsheet because I wanted to start that process and figured that sheet was more of a standardized way of going over trades. They said they weren't sure about a spreadsheet but to contact the person directly. I didn't feel right bothering that person, but I sent another email. No reply. Finally, three months since our meeting, I contacted that person on social media. I decided to do that because I thought maybe email just wasn't a good way to contact them. No reply.
Its sad because I feel more like a burden to them than anything else, but I have come a long ways in my trading and just have some issues that are keeping me back. I know what those issues are, but I wish these companies would step up and help those that are putting in the work. I still really want to believe in this company, and if they're just looking for the best of the best and don't want to further develop others, they should say so right away.
I have had great interactions with customer service, but the fact I got built up to believe I had a shot of finally getting ahead is harsh. Its really disappointing and I still wish I could believe in them.
Its disheartening because I'm trying my best to supplement my income. I'm tired of struggling to make ends meet, and I'm tired of these companies taking advantage of people, and I had hoped Purdia would be the company I could look to in order to make a difference. I don't think they are out to prey on people, but I don't think they are as willing to help as they claim to be.
I'm just tired of the games with these companies. I'm not looking to have a lambo or a mansion, I'm looking to have some shot of peace in life. I have had a sim funded account with them that I almost got to live.

Hi Teo,
Thank you for your feedback. First, I want to clarify that the coaching offer we provide is completely free. It’s not tied to any paid evaluation or funded account, but rather a unique opportunity we offer at no cost to traders like you. Given this, it’s a bit disappointing to receive negative feedback.
That said, I completely understand your frustration and where you’re coming from.
Regarding the spreadsheet, I checked our records, and it appears the invite was sent to you via Google Drive but hasn’t been accepted yet. Please ensure you check your Google notifications or notification center to access it.
Lastly, I apologize if you didn’t receive a response via social media. We don’t actively monitor our social media inboxes, which could explain the lack of a reply.
I hope this clears things up, and I’d be happy to continue supporting you in any way I can. Please feel free to reach out if there’s anything else you need.
Best regards,
Jonas Attiah

Purdia tries to innovate but comes up…
Purdia tries to innovate but comes up short. The online prop firm space has become very competitive recently and has adopted a lot of what Purdia sought to normalize when they first came on the scene. With that normalization comes increased difficulties for Purdia to stand out from the crowd.
-Their evaluations costs are rather expensive
-They don't inform you ahead of time of expected regular calls once you're funded
-The fees to reset funded accounts are very high
+Their customer service is friendly
+Their hands on approach may benefit some traders
+Their starter evals have a 1 to 1 profit target/max loss, has 2 steps, the first being effectively papertrading.
