Leeloo Trading — Overview

Leeloo Trading is a futures prop firm offering Foundation (LL) accounts on a monthly recurring fee with cheap $85 resets, and LB Bundle accounts at a one-time non-recurring price (30 days) that include three accounts for the price of one — though only one account in the bundle can qualify for funding. Payouts run 100% of the first $12,500 and 90% after. Accounts use an EOD trailing drawdown with no daily loss limit. Qualifying requires hitting the profit target over at least 10 active U.S. traded days; Performance Accounts cost $88/mo or a one-time $250 (for traders active 12+ days/month) and carry a 30% daily-profit consistency rule. Budget-priced LE entry accounts (with capped early payouts) are also available.

100% of the first $12,500 in payouts, then 90%
No daily loss limit — full freedom on daily range
EOD trailing drawdown — intraday swings don't move the floor
Recurring monthly fee on Foundation accounts until you pass
Slow payout cadence: first payout requires 30 individual active trading days; payouts 2–4 are monthly (10+ active days) on the last Saturday of the month

The Funded Trader — Overview

The Funded Trader runs several challenge families with rules that vary by type. Royal is the two-phase flagship: 8%/5% targets, 5% daily / 10% static drawdown, 5 minimum days per phase, unlimited time, EAs and trade copiers allowed, and weekend holding permitted — but no news trading. Knight Pro is a one-phase route: 10% target against a 5% daily (soft-breach) and 8% trailing drawdown that locks at the starting balance, no minimum days (3 profitable days of 0.25%+ required), news trading allowed, anytime 80% payouts, and a 50% Steadfast Gains consistency rule once funded. VIP status raises the split to 95%. Daily drawdown resets at 5pm ET on both.

Weekend and overnight holding allowed on Royal and Knight Pro (all phases + funded)
