Leeloo Trading review: Foundation practice accounts
Six futures practice accounts ($25K, $50K, $100K, $150K, $250K and $300K) on a monthly subscription, $250 to $850 a month. Reach the profit target on at least 10 active trading days, then pay for a Performance Account, the account that carries the payouts. The firm's own help articles say the Foundation program is being phased out, and payouts are at its discretion.

Leeloo Trading consistency rule, worked out
The consistency rule applies to Performance Account payouts; the practice account has none. Each row is worked at the size shown, from the published figures.
Largest profitable day ÷ net profit (since your last payout request, or during the evaluation), capped by each plan. “Under” means the day must stay below the cap; “at most” means it may equal it.
Check your own days in the consistency calculator · Plan your risk on this account in the risk planner

Worked example
- Performance Account: the firm's own example has a total profit of $5,000, where no single day should exceed $1,500, which is 30%.
- Practice account: no consistency rule to pass, only the target, the loss limit and at least 10 traded days.

- Consistency to pass

- Time limit
- No maximum trading period.
- Holding through the close
- Positions can be carried through the close during the practice phase, so swing trading is allowed.
Help: Holding positions during the close (official page, opens in a new tab)
- Reset
- A reset restores the initial balance under a new account number and does not change the renewal date of the subscription.$25K$85$50K$85$100K$85$150K$85$250K$85$300K$85
- Performance Account fee

Performance Account 16
- Getting one
- After qualifying, cancel the practice subscription, choose a Performance Account, sign up with Rise Works and be verified, then pay the fee; the account is active within 48 hours. This page follows the Investor type described in the Foundation article; one overview says a Foundation account becomes an Accelerator account instead.

- Profit split
- 100% of the first $12,500 and 90% above it. The page does not say whether the $12,500 counts per payout or over the life of the account.
Help: Investor Performance Accounts and Foundation program (official page, opens in a new tab)
- Fee
- A one-time $250, or a monthly subscription ($88 on the home page, $109 in a help article). The one-time fee needs at least 12 trading days a month on the same account and is described as being phased out for new purchases. If a payment fails, reactivating the account adds a re-connection fee whose amount is not stated.

- Consistency
- The 30% rule: the largest day must stay below 30% of the total profit, and the pages disagree on whether exactly 30% passes and on whether the base is profit or balance. Flipping is limited to 5% of trading days.
- Add-ons
- Not published. Optional Edge Enhancers can shorten the wait for the first payout to 10 or 15 traded days, waive the 30% rule or move it to 50%. Their price and terms are not on the captured pages, and the rules on this page are for accounts without one.

Traps and contradictions
From Leeloo Trading's own pages. Where two official pages say different things, both are shown.
Watch out: Foundation 8
- Program being phased out
The Performance Account overview says the Foundation program will soon close to new purchases, and the Foundation article says new offerings are on the way, yet the home page presents the six accounts as available all the time.
Help: Performance Account overview (official page, opens in a new tab)
- Fee after qualifying
The Performance Account is a second bill that only starts once you qualify. The monthly plan is $88 on the home page but $109 in a help article; the one-time $250 route asks for 12 trading days a month on one account, can be switched to the monthly plan by Leeloo, and is described as closing to new buyers.
- Payout caps
The first four payouts have a $1,000 minimum and a maximum by account size, but only the $50K maximum ($1,500) is written as text; the terms say payout caps can change at any time.
Help: Investor Performance Accounts and Foundation program (official page, opens in a new tab)
- One payout window a month
Requests made outside the last-Saturday window (2:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET) are not reviewed, and the first payout needs 30 individual trading days on the Performance Account.
Help: Investor Performance Accounts and Foundation program (official page, opens in a new tab)
- 30% rule and hand review
A single day worth 30% or more of the profit can block a payout, the pages disagree on the base, and flipping and inconsistent sizing are judged by hand: the dashboard percentage does not decide.
- Investor or Accelerator
The Foundation article describes an Investor Performance Account, but the overview says a Foundation account qualifies into an Accelerator account, which the drawdown article describes with a static drawdown: confirm the type before you rely on the rules on this page.
Help: Investor Performance Accounts and Foundation program (official page, opens in a new tab)
- Flat before the close
On the Performance Account every position must be flat 15 minutes before the close, and the firm's pages disagree on whether up to 3 micros may stay open; the practice account can carry positions.
Help: Holding positions during the close (official page, opens in a new tab)Help: Investor Performance Accounts and Foundation program (official page, opens in a new tab)

FAQ
Leeloo Trading questions, answered from the data
What does Leeloo Trading cost?
The Foundation practice accounts cost $250–$850 per month depending on the size ($25K, $50K, $100K, $150K, $250K and $300K), renewing every 30 days until you qualify or cancel. After qualifying you pay for a Performance Account: a one-time $250, or a monthly subscription.
Home page (official page, opens in a new tab)Terms of Service (official page, opens in a new tab)
How do I qualify for a Performance Account?
Reach the profit target without meeting the loss limit, on at least 10 active trading days counted as market days. There is no maximum time. The targets run from $1,500 on the $25K to $20,000 on the $300K.
What does the Performance Account cost?
Two options once you qualify: pay a one-time $250 per Performance Account, or subscribe monthly. The official pages give the monthly price as $88 (home page) and $109 (help article), and the one-time route is tied to 12 trading days a month.
How much can I be paid, and how often?
You keep 100% of the first $12,500 and 90% above it. The first four payouts have a $1,000 minimum and a maximum by account size, and only the $50K maximum, $1,500, is written as text. The first request needs 30 trading days; later ones can be made once a month, in the last-Saturday window, with at least 10 active days. Leeloo decides each request after a manual review.

Is the Foundation program still available to buy?
The home page still sells the six accounts. Two help articles say the program is being phased out, one of them adding that it will soon no longer be available for new purchases, so confirm with Leeloo before you buy.

Can I hold positions or trade news?
News trading is allowed, except strategies that chase the market or gamble on the outcome. The practice account can carry positions through the close; on a Performance Account positions must be flat 15 minutes before the close, and the pages disagree on whether up to 3 micros may stay open.

What is the 30% rule?
A payout rule on the Performance Account: the largest day must stay below 30% of the total profit, and the pages disagree on whether exactly 30% passes. In the firm's example, with a total profit of $5,000 no day should exceed $1,500. Trading only to count a day (flipping) is capped at 5% of trading days.
Are these funded accounts with real money?
No. The Performance Account is a simulated account with real market quotes; Leeloo is not a broker and does not accept deposits, and payouts come from performance-based contests it runs at its discretion. Fees are not refunded.
