Leeloo Trading Review 2026
Leeloo never migrates anyone to live, asks almost nothing of you during the eval, and collects everything at a payout gate that opens one Saturday a month. This review prices that trade.

At a Glance: The Four Scores
Trust Score
Are they a real, accountable business, do they actually pay, and what does the track record show.
Cost Score
What it truly costs to get funded and stay funded, measured at the current price after any published dated sale, plus the firm's typical sustained discount.
Payout Score
How much you can pull, how fast it lands, how often, and how many accounts you can stack.
Rules Score
How trader-friendly the rules are: drawdown type and spacing, daily loss limits, and consistency rules.
Still Funded has no affiliate relationship with Leeloo Trading and earns nothing if you sign up. Leeloo Trading is scored on the same published methodology as every other firm.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- A genuinely permissive eval rulebook: no daily loss limit, no time limit, no scaling plan, and news and holiday trading are allowed
- Swing-friendly within limits: up to 3 micros can be held through the close without asking permission, and one login can run up to 10 concurrent accounts
- Leeloo Express refunds the full account fee when you qualify, and a free trial exists for new members, two cost mechanics that meaningfully change the math
- Pure sim with no live migration of any kind: passing never puts you on a live account with tightened risk terms, which makes Leeloo the roster outlier on the forced-live check
Cons
- The lowest Trustpilot rating on our futures roster, on an organic no-invite profile, with a recurring dated payout-denial cluster running monthly from December 2025 through June 2026
- All of the risk is concentrated at the payout gate: one 15-hour request window per month (the last Saturday only), a 30-individual-day first-payout requirement, a 1,000 USD minimum plus per-size caps on payouts 1 through 4, and contest-framed approval at the firm's full discretion
- The signature 30 percent rule has THREE conflicting published definitions, flipping is judged by an unformulated manual review the firm says its own dashboard metric does not reflect, and profit guarding is banned, so you must keep trading your normal schedule even after you qualify for a payout
- The eval trailing drawdown tracks your highest unrealized open-trade peak and never stops trailing for the life of the account; the forgiving lock at initial balance plus 100 only exists on the funded Investor PA
- A recurring-fee trap: no refunds, a 30-day auto-renew, and a failed account keeps billing until you manually cancel or pay the 85 USD reset; a chargeback is a permanent ban, and every payment carries a non-refundable convenience fee on top
- The entity sold subscriptions for roughly 13 months while involuntarily dissolved (December 2024 to January 2026), its third delinquency cycle since 2018; administrative, not insolvency, but it is on the record
- The Investor PA program, Elite accounts, and the LB Bundle carry an announced-but-not-executed phase-out (April 2026), so the funded-side terms you buy today are officially transitional
Strategic Edge Plays
- Freedom-first eval shoppers: no daily loss limit and no time limit on the way in, but price the payout gate, not the subscription, because that is where this firm collects
- Sim-only seekers: Leeloo never migrates you to a live account and never forces a conversion, so if the forced-live squeeze at other firms is your dealbreaker, this is the one roster firm without it
- Swing traders within limits: through-the-close holding inside the 3-micro limit plus news and holiday trading, if the payout-gate risk is a trade you accept with open eyes
- Multi-account planners: up to 10 concurrent accounts under one login, but remember only ONE account inside an LB Bundle can ever qualify for a PA, so a bundle is stacked practice, not stacked funding
- Everyone else: read the dated denial record and the firm's own replies before you buy, because the marketing and the payout terms describe two different firms
Verdict and Who It Is For
Here is the whole Leeloo problem in one sentence: the eval asks almost nothing of you on the way in, and the firm behind it carries the lowest third-party rating we track, and both of those facts are true at the same time. Which one you weight more is the entire buying decision, so this review spends its time on exactly that.
The freedom side is real. Leeloo sells monthly evaluations with no daily loss limit, no time limit, no scaling plan, and news and holiday trading allowed, which is a genuinely permissive rulebook on the way in. Cheap it is not: among the roster's monthly-subscription 25Ks it is nearly the priciest, and the meter runs until you pass or cancel, so you are paying for the freedom, not getting a discount on it. The catch is where the firm moved the risk. Everything the front end never restricted gets collected at the payout gate: one request window per month, a 30-day first-payout requirement, per-size caps and a 1,000 dollar minimum on your first four payouts, a signature consistency rule with three different published definitions, a ban on protecting your balance once you qualify, and approval that the firm's own terms frame as a contest run at its full discretion. The dated denial record in the trust section is what that structure produces in practice, and the firm's own replies to those complaints confirm the mechanics rather than dispute them.
If the forced live migration at other firms is the thing you are dodging, Leeloo settles it by construction, because this is the one firm on our roster that never migrates anyone, ever. If you swing trade inside the 3-micro overnight limit and want news days and holidays left alone, the rulebook accommodates you, and if you are buying eval freedom with the payout gate priced in and your eyes open, you have found the firm that sells exactly that. Anyone who needs payout certainty has no business here, and the trust section shows why in the firm's own words. Automation of any kind is banned outright, so systems traders are out at the door. And anyone who reads a permissive eval and assumes the funded side works the same way should read the rules section twice, because here it does not.
Pricing and Account Tiers
Leeloo sells six Foundation sizes on a monthly subscription, starting at 250 dollars a month at the bottom of the ladder, and let's be straight about that number: against the other monthly-subscription 25Ks we track it is nearly the priciest, and because it is a meter rather than a one-time bill, one renewal in you have spent past most of the one-time 25K entries on this roster too, so the pitch here was never the price, it is the rulebook that comes with it. Every Foundation card carries the same skeleton, a trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit, no time limit, a 10 active-day minimum, and an 85 dollar reset at every size, so make sure you are comparing profit target against max drawdown when you pick a size, because that spacing is what you are actually buying. The table below prints the standard figures. One thing to keep straight while you read it: the size printed on the card is sim buying power, a tier name, and your fee is buying the evaluation, not the balance.
Around the Foundation core sit the other families. LB Bundles turn the same six sizes into a single non-recurring payment for multiple stacked accounts, with one rule that matters more than the price: only one account inside a bundle can ever qualify for a PA, so a bundle buys practice depth, not funding depth. The specialty families, LE Entry, WK Weekly, Ignite, and Leeloo Express, sell through the concierge channel and promos without static pricing, and Express is the one worth knowing about, because it refunds your full account fee when you qualify. A free trial for new members exists too. And note the fee that arrives after you pass: each Performance Account costs 88 dollars a month or 250 one-time, with the one-time option conditioned on trading at least 12 days every calendar month.

Cost in Practice and Live Discounts
Start with the cost nobody advertises: every payment you ever make to Leeloo carries a non-refundable convenience fee on top of the printed price, on every rail, subscriptions, resets, and PA fees alike, so the sticker is never the charge. From there the real cost story is the meter. The subscription auto-renews every 30 days with no refunds, and here is the part that catches people: failing or forfeiting an account does not cancel it. A blown account sits dead while the billing continues, the monthly renewal does not revive it, and a reset does not move your renewal date, so the only two ways off the meter are cancelling manually in the member area or paying to reset and trading on. A chargeback is a permanent ban, so do not go that route.
On discounts, Leeloo prints no public code on its own site. Promotions run through its social channels, an email list you join at signup, and a contact-us concierge ask for new customers, and the aggregator sites that claim otherwise are printing codes the firm does not publish anywhere. We do not have a Leeloo code, so there is nothing to type here, and our Cost Score is computed against the list price the firm actually charges, not the spam field.
Rules and Risk Mechanics
Read the Leeloo rulebook by what is missing first, because the absences are the sales pitch: no daily loss limit, no time limit, no scaling plan, no minimum hold time, and news and holidays are fair game. That freedom is real, and it is also not where the risk lives, so do not stop reading there.
The drawdown is the first mechanic to respect. Leeloo runs an intraday trailing drawdown calculated on unrealized open equity, meaning the limit trails the highest peak your open trade ever touches, banked or not, and during the eval it never stops trailing, not even after you hit the profit target. Touch it and the account auto-liquidates, and continuing means an 85 dollar reset. The relief only exists on the funded side, and only on the Investor PA, where the same trail locks forever once your open equity clears initial balance plus drawdown plus 100, parking the floor at initial balance plus 100. The Accelerator PA skips the trail for a static floor, though its full structure is one of the gaps we flag below.
Then the conduct regime, which is where the payout denials actually come from. The signature 30 percent rule caps your best day, and Leeloo has published three different definitions of it, one against your account balance and two against your profit, which do not agree with each other, so we publish the ambiguity as a finding rather than pretending there is one formula. Homeruns are banned by name. Flipping is capped at under 5 percent of your trading days and judged by a manual review with no formula, and the firm states its own dashboard flipping metric is not accurate. And profit guarding is prohibited: once you qualify for a payout you must keep trading your normal schedule right up to the request day, because stopping to protect your balance is itself a closable offense. Automation is banned everywhere, overnight holding is capped at 3 micros through the close without permission, and trading pauses entirely while a payout request is under review. That is the pincer: keep trading, but trade consistently enough, by a definition you cannot pin down, for a reviewer you never see.
New to any of these terms? Our plain-terms guides break down drawdown, consistency rules, and the rest.
What is the Leeloo 30 percent rule?
It depends which Leeloo page you read, and that is the honest answer. One version caps your best day at 30 percent of your account balance, another caps it at 30 percent of your total profit over the life of the account, and a third measures it against net profit from your starting balance. Two of those are compatible; the first uses a different denominator entirely, and the firm has never reconciled them. It is the signature payout-denial mechanic here, so trade to the strictest reading and keep your best day small relative to everything.
How does the trailing drawdown work at Leeloo Trading?
It trails the highest unrealized peak of your open trades, not your closed profit, so a runner that spikes and comes back can still drag your limit up against you. During the eval it never stops trailing, even after you hit the profit target, and touching it auto-liquidates the account. On the funded Investor PA the same trail locks permanently once your open equity clears initial balance plus drawdown plus 100, and The Accelerator uses a static floor instead.
What Has Changed at Leeloo Trading
- pricing2026-05-05
Leeloo's PA fee article, as modified May 5, 2026, prices the monthly Performance Account fee at 109 USD where it had been 88, and states the 250 USD one-time option is being phased out with no new purchases and existing accounts unchanged. Archived captures show the 109 figure in place by April 11, 2026, so the increase itself predates the article's modification date. This is a cost that lands after you pass, so it raises the real price of getting funded here without touching any advertised evaluation price.

On April 14, 2026 Leeloo's Investor PA article added notice that the program in its exact form is being phased out, covering the Investor PA Foundation Program, Elite Accounts, and the LB Leeloo Bundle, with new offerings to come. As of August 13, 2026 Foundation and LB Bundle accounts were still on sale, Elite remained invite only, and no replacement product had launched, so this is announced, not done.

Rule Nuances on Record
AUTOMATION: bots and automatic trading are banned at every stage (eval and PA) - only the trader may trade the account, and bot use means automatic account closure. NEWS and holiday trading is allowed. OVERNIGHT: swing trading is marketed; up to 3 micros may be held through the close without permission, larger positions need admin approval plus enough profit to cover maintenance margin, otherwise all trades are flat 15 minutes before close per instrument (FIFO carry accounting); the knowledge base does not publish weekend-specific session rules, so we list those as unknown. SIM-ONLY: PAs are fully simulated (the firm states PA accounts may represent simulated or copied accounts); successful accounts may be copied to the firm's own trading via proprietary software at Leeloo's sole discretion; there is no live-account migration of any kind - Leeloo is the one firm we cover with no live stage at all. PA PHASE-OUT: the firm's Investor PA article (April 2026) announces the program is being phased out with new offerings coming; as of 2026-07-08 the homepage still sells the same Practice -> Performance Account -> potential Leeloo Elite path unchanged, with no replacement product live. Funded-side terms may move while that phase-out plays out, so treat them as in flux.

Payouts and Proof
Fifteen hours a month. That is the payout window at Leeloo: requests are accepted only on the last Saturday of the month, between 2:00 AM and 5:00 PM ET, and if you miss it the request waits until next month, no exceptions, the firm says so itself. The first payout needs at least 30 individual active trading days on the PA, payouts two through four run monthly with at least 10 active days each, and from the fifth onward the cadence is every 30 calendar days. Only profit above your initial balance plus drawdown plus 100 is withdrawable, so on a 50K you are requesting against everything above 52,600, and the first four payouts carry a 1,000 dollar minimum plus a per-size maximum that runs from 1,000 on the smallest account to 3,000 on the largest. From payout five the caps come off. The split is 100 percent of your first 12,500 in cumulative account profit and 90 percent after that, and read how Leeloo frames it, because it matters: not a profit split, but the share of simulated profits a trader may receive, inside a program the terms describe as contest-style and fully discretionary. Every request is manually reviewed, and your trading must pause while it is.
Payouts ride Rise, registration is mandatory, your ID name must exactly match your signup name, and a Rise KYC failure blocks everything, so sign up with your full legal name from day one. There is no published payout SLA; the dated evidence includes a Saturday request approved the following Tuesday. The evidence file on Leeloo payouts has two sides: two dated Trustpilot confirmations and a firm-supplied winners list on one, a recurring monthly denial cluster on the other, both dated, neither erasing the other. That split record is what keeps Leeloo at reported and unverified on our proof scale instead of the stronger community-aggregated grade. One structural note that cuts both ways: this is a pure sim model with no live migration ever, and up to 10 accounts can run under one login, with copy trading across accounts banned.
Payout evidence
- trustpilot2025-10-30A reviewer requested a payout on a Saturday and had it approved by Tuesday, with the Rise payment email arriving nine minutes before the approval notice itself (2025-10-30).Source
- trustpilot2026-01-08A reviewer reports three payouts honored and responsive support (2026-01-08).Source
- firm claim2026-07-04Leeloo publishes a winners list of traders it says have taken multiple payouts across more than 16 countries. This is the firm publishing its own numbers. We have not verified it, and we do not count it as proof. Read it against the payout-denial reviews in the trust section, because both are true at the same time: some traders get paid, and some report being cut off at the payout gate.Source
Does Leeloo Trading actually pay out?
Some traders, yes, on the record: dated Trustpilot confirmations show requests approved within days through Rise, and the firm publishes a winners list we treat as firm-claimed. Running right alongside those confirmations is a monthly cluster of denied and reduced payouts from December 2025 through June 2026, where profitable accounts at the payout gate received partial offers and closures citing unpublished consistency thresholds, and the firm's own replies confirm those mechanics. So the payout question gets a graded answer here rather than a yes or a no: reported and unverified, and the record behind that call is dated on both sides in this review.
When can you request a payout at Leeloo?
One window per month: the last Saturday, 2:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET, through the dashboard. Miss it and you wait until next month, no exceptions. Your first payout also needs at least 30 individual active trading days on the PA, and your trading must pause while the request is under review.
Trust Profile
Leeloo's Trustpilot reads 3.1 on 608 reviews, the lowest rating on our futures roster, and one thing changed on that profile this summer: through June it was an organic profile with no invitation history, and as of our July 30, 2026 check Trustpilot flags Leeloo as a firm that asks customers to review. The 3.1 was built before the invites started, so treat it as the unmanaged baseline and expect the number to drift if invited reviews start landing. The shape of the recent record is the useful part. The compliments are specific in the way real ones are, payouts landing through Rise, responsive people, and the complaints are just as specific, and they cluster in one place: profitable accounts reaching the payout gate, an algorithmic screen flagging consistency thresholds the firm does not publish, a partial good faith offer well below the amount due, and the account closed, sometimes with a claims waiver attached. That pattern repeats monthly from December 2025 through June 2026 in the dated record below. And the strongest evidence is the firm's own replies, which confirm rather than deny the mechanics: an algorithmic screen with unpublished acceptable thresholds, a dashboard that is a guide and not the final approval, contest framing, and a Schedule 1 exhibit that is not on the public site. We quote those because they are first-party, and they are load-bearing.
The paper trail is real and it has a wrinkle. Natural Trading, LLC dba Leeloo Trading is a Montana company formed in 2017, currently in good standing, run from a rural principal address with a mail-drop dispute address in Billings. That is a home-based operation and we call it one. The wrinkle: the entity was involuntarily dissolved in December 2024 for annual-report delinquency and sold subscriptions for roughly 13 months while dissolved, curing in January 2026, its third delinquency cycle since 2018. That is administrative, not insolvency, and we say exactly that and no more, but corporate hygiene is a trust input and this is on the record. Two more items for the eyes-open file: the qualification-rate claim in the firm's own marketing and its winners list are both firm-supplied and unverifiable, so we treat them as claims, and the Investor PA program you would be buying into today carries an announced phase-out from April 2026 that has not executed, which makes every funded-side term officially transitional. The rules here are published, but they are ambiguous at exactly the points where payouts get denied, and that is the honest one-line summary of this whole section.
Trustpilot rating across our last 4 checks: 3.1 (2026-08-31), 3.1 (2026-09-04), 3.1 (2026-09-07), 3.1 (2026-09-15) - steady.
Stability flags and Trustpilot detail
- corporate event2024-12-01
Leeloo's legal entity, Natural Trading, LLC (Montana file C1055873, formed 2017-09-11), was involuntarily dissolved by the state on 2024-12-01 for annual-report delinquency and reinstated on 2026-01-09, meaning the firm sold monthly subscriptions for roughly 13 months while in dissolved status. It was an administrative lapse, not a business failure, and the record is clean since: the 2026 annual report was filed early, the same day as the reinstatement, and the next is due 2026-04-15 of the following year. The pattern matters more than the single event, though. The filing history shows three involuntary intent notices across the entity's life (2018, 2021, and 2024, the first two cured before dissolution), and the 2025 annual report was filed three and a half months late.

The assumed business name Leeloo Trading (Montana filing A1147889) was involuntarily cancelled on 2024-12-01, the same day the parent LLC was dissolved. When the LLC was reinstated on 2026-01-09 the name registration was not brought back, and it has not been re-registered since. The company is in good standing, but the brand name it sells under has had no active Montana registration for over a year and a half. Its LEELOO and PERFORMANCE BASED TRADING AND CONTESTS trademarks are inactive too. Cite: Montana SOS Business Search, file number A1147889, retrieved 2026-07-30.

Leeloo has announced that it is phasing out three products, with new offerings to come: the Investor PA Foundation Program, Elite Accounts, and the LB Leeloo Bundle. Turbo Accounts are NOT part of the phase-out. When we checked on 2026-07-09, all three named programs were still on sale, existing accounts were still active and unchanged, and no replacement product had launched. So this is announced, not done. If you are buying one of those three, know that you are buying into something the firm has already said it is retiring.
Source - payout friction2026-06-06
From December 2025 through June 2026 there is a monthly run of Trustpilot reviews describing the same thing: a trader hits a payout target, the request goes into manual review, and the payout is denied or cut down on consistency grounds the trader says were never quantified, sometimes with a partial settlement offer and the account closed. The two most recent entries are dated June 4 and June 6, 2026. The mechanics are confirmed in the firm's own words twice over: its April 2026 Trustpilot replies describe an algorithmic screen with unpublished acceptable thresholds followed by human review, and state that the dashboard is a guide, not the approval (re-verified live 2026-07-30); and its January 7, 2026 response to a Better Business Bureau complaint admits the same review process, citing consistency concerns and home-run sessions (https://www.bbb.org/us/mt/roundup/profile/investment-advisory-services/leeloo-trading-1296-1000141173). July 2026 is a blank, not an all-clear: the profile has received no reviews of any kind since June 6, so we log July as no data and re-check in late August. A Schedule 1 agreement exhibit referenced in the firm's replies is not on the public site.

The billing here catches people out, and we confirmed the mechanism in Leeloo's own Terms of Service (Section 8) on 2026-07-04. There are no refunds. The subscription auto-renews every 30 days. Blowing or forfeiting an account does NOT cancel the subscription: you have to cancel it yourself, and until you do, a dead account keeps billing you. Filing a chargeback gets you permanently banned.
Source - terms rules change2026-05-05
The funded-stage Performance Account fee went up. Leeloo's PA-fee article now prices the monthly PA fee at 109 USD per account, where it had been 88 USD, and says the 250 USD one-time option is being phased out and will no longer be available for new purchases. Existing holders keep what they have. This is a cost that lands AFTER you pass, at the moment the funded account is created, so it changes the real price of getting funded here without changing any advertised evaluation price. Worth knowing that the firm's own articles disagree: the older PA overview had all fee figures removed from it entirely, so anything still quoting 88 USD is stale.

Is Leeloo Trading legit?
A real, registered company that has paid real traders, yes: Montana LLC, formed 2017, verifiable registry file, dated payout confirmations on the record. Low-risk is a different question. This is the lowest-rated firm on our roster, the payout-denial pattern is documented and recent, and the entity spent roughly 13 months selling subscriptions while involuntarily dissolved, an administrative lapse it has since cured. Go in with that full picture or not at all.
What does Leeloo's Trustpilot actually tell you?
More than most, because the 3.1 on 608 was built organically: Leeloo had no history of inviting reviews until Trustpilot flagged the profile as invite-based in late July 2026, so the current number is still the unmanaged read, for now. The positive half praises payouts landing and helpful people. The negative half concentrates almost entirely at the payout gate, denials and reductions citing consistency terms the dashboard does not show, and the firm replies actively, with those replies confirming an unpublished algorithmic screen. Spend your read on the pattern, and on the firm's own words inside it.
Compared With Other Firms
On trust, nothing on our roster sits below Leeloo. On eval freedom, almost nothing here restricts you, and that pairing is the whole trade. So the comparison question is not which firm is better, it is which axis you are shopping: a trader buying maximum eval freedom with the payout gate priced in is in the right place, and a trader optimizing the odds of actually being paid should take the same money to a firm whose payout record does not need a defense section, and given where Leeloo's pricing sits, that move does not even cost extra. Those trades carry on in the head-to-heads, while the roster hub puts the whole field in order on all four axes. Whatever you decide, do the reps first: read the payout terms the way you would backtest a strategy, read the dated denial reports and the firm's own replies underneath them, and only buy what still makes sense after that read. The traders who get hurt here are the ones who priced the subscription and never priced the gate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Leeloo Trading? Is it related to the movie character?
Leeloo Trading is a futures prop firm, the trade name of Natural Trading, LLC out of Montana, selling simulated monthly evaluations that lead to a simulated funded Performance Account. It has nothing to do with the character from The Fifth Element, who dominates search results for the bare name, so if you are researching the firm, search the full name Leeloo Trading and you will land in the right place.
What is Leeloo Express?
Express is Leeloo's fee-refund product: qualify on an Express account and the firm refunds your account fee in full, which turns a passed eval into a free one. It sells through the Exclusives block and the concierge channel rather than the standard plan cards, so current availability and exact terms come from the firm directly, and our discount page tracks what is live.
Does Leeloo have a monthly fee?
Yes, and it keeps running until you stop it. Every Foundation eval is a subscription that auto-renews every 30 days, the renewal does not reset or revive your account, and failing does not cancel it, so a dead account bills until you manually cancel or pay the 85 dollar reset. The LB Bundles are the one-payment exception, and the funded side adds its own PA fee, 88 a month or 250 one-time with an active-use condition.
