Leeloo Trading Rules

Leeloo Trading is a 1-step prop trading firm that offers 4 account sizes ranging from $25,000 to $150,000. One of the original futures prop firms. Known for aggressive promotional pricing and a straightforward 1-step evaluation with EOD trailing drawdown. The firm supports NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic and gives traders access to futures markets. Expert advisors and automated trading bots are allowed, making it suitable for algorithmic traders. Copy trading is not allowed.

The evaluation uses trailing eod (floor moves up at end of day), which means your drawdown floor moves up at end of day when your closing balance exceeds the previous peak. This is more forgiving than intraday trailing because temporary spikes in profit during the day do not permanently raise the floor. On a $150,000 account, if you close the day up $3,000, the floor rises by that same amount.

The 2.2% daily loss limit acts as a circuit breaker. On the $150,000 account, that means you cannot lose more than $3,300 in a single day. This is calculated from your starting daily balance, which is an important distinction -- only realized losses count, giving more breathing room for open positions. Profit split starts at 80% and scales up to 90%, with payouts processed bi-weekly.

Common mistakes traders make on Leeloo Trading: Misunderstanding the trailing drawdown is the number one account killer. Many traders assume their profits create a permanent cushion, but with trailing eod (floor moves up at end of day), your floor rises with your peak equity. Hitting the daily loss limit by overleveraging after a losing streak is extremely common. On the $25,000 account, your daily limit is only $500 -- two bad trades at 2.5% risk each and you are done for the day. Forgetting to close positions before market close triggers an overnight holding violation, which can end your evaluation regardless of P&L. Always verify the current rules on the official rules page before starting.

Who Leeloo Trading is best for: Disciplined day traders who can manage risk within the trailing drawdown structure. The EOD calculation gives you breathing room during the session. Futures traders exclusively -- the firm does not offer forex or CFD markets. The entry fee of $125 for the $25,000 account is mid-range compared to competitors.

Leeloo Trading pays out bi-weekly with a profit split starting at 80% and scaling up to 90%. The profit split structure means you keep 80% of all profits on your funded account. As you demonstrate consistent performance, the split increases -- rewarding disciplined traders who stay funded longer.

The scaling from 80% to 90% is Leeloo Trading's incentive for longevity. Most traders who pass the evaluation but get their accounts terminated within 60 days never see the higher split. Building a sustainable trading approach is more valuable than chasing the profit target aggressively.
