Performance Account Fee Options
When you qualify for a Performance Account, your fee option depends on whether you purchased the Leeloo Access Pass™ EdgeEnhancer at checkout when buying your practice account:
- Leeloo Access Pass™ (requires EdgeEnhancer purchased at checkout): If you bought the Access Pass EdgeEnhancer at checkout, you have the option to pay the Leeloo Access Pass™ fee when activating your PA. This is a one-time payment covering 6 months of PA access with all data and fees included. The EE fee and the Access Pass fee are separate payments — the EE unlocks the option, and the Access Pass fee is paid at PA activation.
- Monthly Subscription ($88/month): If you did not purchase the Access Pass EdgeEnhancer, or if you prefer the monthly option, your PA will be enrolled in the $88/month recurring subscription. All data and fees are included.
Important: The Access Pass EdgeEnhancer can only be purchased at checkout when buying your practice account. It cannot be added after purchase.
For LB Leeloo Breakout™ accounts: Breakout Performance Accounts are fulfilled and closed after 6 payouts or 6 months, whichever comes first. The Access Pass covers the full life of these accounts — there is no transition to monthly billing.
For all other account types: After the 6-month Access Pass period, if your account is eligible to continue, you will be transitioned to the standard $88/month subscription. Your account will not be deleted or closed — our team will contact you to facilitate the transition.
Each Performance Account requires its own separate fee — accounts cannot be combined.

Intraday Trailing Drawdown in Your PA
The trailing drawdown works the same as your practice account, with one key difference: the trailing drawdown stops trailing once it reaches your Initial Balance + $100. At that point, it becomes your permanent fixed max drawdown for the life of the account.
Two key levels to understand:
- Locked Max Drawdown (Initial Balance + $100): Once the trailing drawdown locks in, this is the level where your account is lost. If your balance touches or falls below this level at any time, the account closes immediately.
- Threshold Net (Locked Max Drawdown + Trailing Drawdown amount): This is the payout floor. Your balance must be above the Threshold Net to request a payout, and must remain at or above the Threshold Net after the payout is deducted.
Example (LB Breakout Launch — $50,000 PA):
- Starting balance: $50,000
- Trailing drawdown: $2,000
- Initial threshold: $48,000
- Once your highest balance (realized or unrealized) reaches $52,100 ($50,000 + $2,000 + $100), the trailing drawdown locks permanently at $50,100 — this is your Locked Max Drawdown. If your balance ever reaches $50,100, the account is closed.
- The Threshold Net is $50,100 + $2,000 = $52,100. Your balance must be above $52,100 to request a payout.
- The payout per request for a $50K account is $750. To request a payout, your balance must be at least $52,850 ($52,100 + $750).
- After the $750 payout is deducted, your balance must remain at or above $52,100.
Account Specifications
| Account Size | Contracts (Mini / Micro) | Trailing Drawdown | Locked Max Drawdown | Threshold Net (Payout Floor) |

| $50,000 | 8 / 80 | $2,000 | $50,100 | $52,100 |
| $100,000 | 12 / 120 | $3,000 | $100,100 | $103,100 |

Payout Structure
Each Performance Account is capped at a maximum of 6 payouts over 6 months (whichever comes first). After 6 payouts, 6 months, or the account cap is reached, the account is considered fulfilled and closed — regardless of the current account balance.
Maximum Payout Per Request & Account Caps
| Account Size | Payout Per Request | Account Cap (6 Payouts) | Completion Bonus |
|---|
| $25,000 | $500 | $3,000 | $500 |
| $50,000 | $750 | $4,500 | $750 |
| $100,000 | $1,000 | $6,000 | $1,000 |
| $150,000 | $1,250 | $7,500 | $1,250 |
| $250,000 | $1,500 | $9,000 | $1,500 |
| $300,000 | $1,750 | $10,500 | $1,750 |
Lifetime Trader Cap
The Lifetime Trader Cap limits total payouts (excluding bonuses) across ALL of a trader's accounts. The cap is determined by the largest active account from which the trader has received a payout.
How the cap works:
- The cap is set by your largest active account that has received a payout.
- If a payout is received from a larger account, the cap upgrades to that tier.
- If the larger account is lost or closed, the cap reverts back down to the next largest active account with a received payout.
- All payouts ever received — across all accounts, active or closed — accumulate against the current cap. Payouts are never reset or forgiven.
- If total accumulated payouts reach the current cap, the trader is done at that tier.
- To increase the cap again, the trader must purchase, qualify, and receive a payout from a larger account (the next step up). The trader cannot buy the same size or smaller to continue.
| Largest Active Account with Payout Received | Lifetime Trader Cap |
|---|
| $25,000 | $8,000 |
| $50,000 | $12,000 |
| $100,000 | $16,000 |
| $150,000 | $20,000 |
| $250,000 | $24,000 |
| $300,000 | $28,000 |
Example:
- A trader has a $50K account and receives $3,000 in payouts. Lifetime cap = $12,000.
- The trader buys a $150K account, qualifies, and receives a $1,250 payout. Lifetime cap upgrades to $20,000. Total payouts received = $4,250 (counted against the $20,000 cap).
- The trader loses the $150K account (drawdown breached). The cap reverts to $12,000 because the $50K is now the largest active account with a received payout. Total payouts remain $4,250, now counted against the $12,000 cap.
- The trader continues receiving payouts from the $50K account. Once total accumulated payouts reach $12,000, the trader is done at this tier.
- To unlock more payouts, the trader must purchase an account larger than $50K (e.g., $100K or above), qualify, and receive a payout from it — which would set a new, higher cap.
Once the lifetime trader cap is reached, all accounts are considered fulfilled and closed.
Minimum Balance to Request a Payout
To request a payout, your account balance must be above the Threshold Net plus the payout amount for your account size. After the payout is deducted, your balance must remain at or above the Threshold Net.
| Account Size | Threshold Net | Payout Per Request | Balance Required to Request |
|---|
| $25,000 | $26,100 | $500 | $26,600 |
| $50,000 | $52,100 | $750 | $52,850 |
| $100,000 | $103,100 | $1,000 | $104,100 |
| $150,000 | $154,100 | $1,250 | $155,350 |
| $250,000 | $255,100 | $1,500 | $256,600 |
| $300,000 | $306,100 | $1,750 | $307,850 |
If your balance is below the required amount, the payout option will not be available — continue trading until you reach the threshold.
Example: On a $50K account, the Threshold Net is $52,100 and the payout per request is $750. Your balance must be at least $52,850 ($52,100 + $750) to request a payout. After the $750 payout is deducted, your balance must remain at or above $52,100. Note: If your balance drops to $50,100 (the Locked Max Drawdown), the account is closed.
Completion Bonus
The Completion Bonus is a one-time reward for traders who reach their full account cap (all 6 payouts at the maximum amount).
- The bonus is earned per completed account independently.
- The bonus does NOT count toward the Lifetime Trader Cap — it is extra, on top.
- To earn the bonus, the trader must reach the full account cap for that account size.
- Traders with multiple accounts can earn a bonus on each account that reaches its cap.
Example: A trader completes a $50K account (6 payouts × $750 = $4,500 cap reached) and earns a $750 bonus. They also complete a $100K account ($6,000 cap) and earn a $1,000 bonus. Total bonuses = $1,750, which is separate from and on top of the lifetime trader cap.
Payout Eligibility & Requesting Payouts

Payout Request Window
- Default: Payout requests must be submitted on the last Saturday of the month, between 2:00 AM ET and 5:00 PM ET.
- With 15-Day Payout EdgeEnhancer ($25K and $50K only): Once you have completed 15 actively traded days, you may submit your payout request on the nearest Saturday following the 15th traded day, between 2:00 AM ET and 5:00 PM ET. You do not need to wait for the last Saturday of the month.
- Submit requests by emailing support at support@leelootrading.com.
- You must be registered and verified with Rise Works to request a payout.
Payout Amount

Closing and immediately re-entering positions in the opposite direction without a structured plan is not permitted.
No Profit Guarding
Do not stop trading once you've met your trading days and wait for a payout request day. Continue trading your regular schedule and style.
Copy Trading

- Copiers are not permitted on accounts with 10-day or 15-day payout EdgeEnhancers, or accounts with the Waive 30% Rule or Reduce Rule EdgeEnhancers.
Account Fulfillment & Closure
An account is considered fulfilled and closed when ANY of the following occurs:

- 6 months have elapsed since account activation.
- The account cap has been reached.

Swing Trading | Holding Trades Overnight
Traders may hold up to 3 micros through the close. For standard lots or more than 3 micros, traders must receive permission from Leeloo Admin before holding trades through the close. You will need enough profit to cover Maintenance Margin for each instrument per contract held.
Unless permission is granted, ALL trades MUST be flat 15 minutes before the market close of that particular instrument.
