DayTraders vs Legends Trading, round by round

The five things that decide whether a funded account works for you, in the order you live them.

Round 1Legends Trading

Cost to get funded

The price after the discount code, plus any activation fee. Most traders fail at least once, so the cheaper account is also cheaper to try again.

How it is scored: Lower all-in price wins
DayTraders$110
Legends Trading$98

Legends Trading costs $98 all-in, $12 less than DayTraders at $110. That includes the $5 activation fee DayTraders charges once you pass.

Round 2Legends Trading

Room to trade

The drawdown is the line that ends the account. A line that moves less, with more room under it, means a normal pullback does not blow the account.

How it is scored: Static beats end-of-day beats intraday, then more room wins
DayTraders
End-of-Day
$2,000 of room
Legends Trading
End-of-Day
$2,200 of room

Both use an end-of-day drawdown, which only moves when the trading day closes. Legends Trading lets you lose $2,200 before the account fails, $200 more than DayTraders.

Round 4Legends Trading

Speed to first payout

Days from buying the account to asking for your first payout, if everything goes right.

How it is scored: Fewer days wins
DayTraders10 days
Legends Trading8 days

Legends Trading can pay you after 8 days at the earliest: 3 days to pass, then 5 profitable days to the first payout. DayTraders takes 10: 2 days to pass, then 8 profitable days to the first payout.

Round 5DayTraders

Payday

The most one payout can put in your pocket: the payout cap times your share. A high split means little if the cap is low.

How it is scored: More money from one payout wins
DayTraders$2,000100% split
Legends Trading$1,80090% split

DayTraders: up to $2,000 a payout at 100%, so $2,000 to you. Legends Trading: up to $2,000 a payout at 90%, so $1,800 to you.
