Leeloo Trading Review 2026: Cheap Evals, Slow Payouts — the Honest Trade-off

PickMyFuturesProp · 2026-07-02

Leeloo has been running since 2019 and is one of the cheapest ways into a funded futures account — with a 3-for-1 bundle and 100% of your first $12,500. The trade-off: monthly payouts and a 30-day wait for the first one.

Leeloo Trading has been around since 2019, which makes it one of the longest-running futures firms on my board — and it's carved out a specific niche: the budget option for traders who evaluate often. If you're the type who resets a few times while dialing in, Leeloo's math is built for you. If you want your profits out fast, read the payout section before you buy anything.

The good: cheap entry, generous split

The funded economics are genuinely strong: keep 100% of your first $12,500, then 90% after that. Entry is cheap two ways: the Foundation line is a monthly subscription with discounted $85 resets, sizes from $25K all the way to $300K; and the Bundle line gives you 3 accounts for the price of 1 (non-recurring, good for 30 days, only one can qualify) — a clever low-cost way to run parallel attempts at a pass. There's no daily loss limit, and the drawdown is real-time trailing that stops moving once it reaches your initial balance plus $100.

The trade-off: payout speed

Here's the honest part, and it's the reason Leeloo sits where it does in my rankings: payouts happen once a month, on the last Saturday. Your first payout requires 30 individual trading days; payouts two through four require 10 active days in the month, with a $1,000 minimum. Compare that to firms paying daily or every 3-5 days, and the gap is stark. Leeloo is a place to build a payout habit slowly — not a place for income cadence.

The rules to know

The trailing drawdown is real-time — it trails your unrealized profit intraday, so open gains you give back tighten your floor (the most demanding trailing style; know it before you size up). And no automation: EAs, bots, and copy trading are prohibited.

So who's it for?

Disciplined discretionary traders on a budget who reset often, want cheap parallel attempts (the Bundle), and don't mind profits arriving monthly. If payout speed is your priority, the daily-payout firms in my comparison will fit better — put Leeloo side by side with them and decide which trade-off you're actually happy to make.
