Legends Trading review
Low entry prices, but a reported pattern of closures right before payout
Verdict: avoid
Reported pattern of profitable accounts disappearing or being closed right before payout eligibility persists into 2026 (multiple complaint sites and Trustpilot), plus rule changes on existing accounts and payout denials without stated cause. The first-payout split ambiguity is now resolved — 90/10 from the start, with the 2nd payout only gating the live-funded transition — so that leg of the reason no longer applies. Research verdict: still skip on counterparty risk.
The verdict
This Legends Trading review is based on the firm's current rulebook, payout policy and reputation record as of September 2026 — scored the same way we score all 16 firms we track.
Elite 150K is $347 one-time list, or $208.20 with the current 40% code, with no activation fee, EOD drawdown, and a clean 90/10 from the first payout (the old 'after second payout' wording gates the live transition, not the split). It is no longer the roughly $150 entry it was through August 2026. What still disqualifies it: a reported pattern of profitable accounts closed right before payout eligibility that continues into 2026, a reset flow that reportedly deletes profitable accounts without clear confirmation, a mini rug-pull precedent (live allocation cut 5 to 1 on existing accounts), and near-zero organic reputation. The GFF Brokers pedigree doesn't offset it. Skip.
Trustpilot ~3.5/5 (~131 reviews); payout requests stuck 3+ weeks; rule change on existing accounts (live allocation 5→1); scam-site allegations overlap with Trustpilot complaint themes; near-zero organic Reddit footprint
What's good
- Cheap entry: 50K Apprentice at $35.40/mo, and no activation fee on any Elite
- EOD trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit in evals
- Real brokerage pedigree (GFF Brokers CEO)
- 20 accounts on one dashboard
What's not
- Alleged pattern of profitable accounts closed or disappearing near payout eligibility — still reported in 2026
- Reset flow reportedly lets a profitable account be deleted without clear confirmation, erasing profits
- Payout caps ($800-$3,500/cycle) and funded-level DLL appear after passing
- Young firm, no established payout reputation; mixed Trustpilot record

Apprentice: what changes when you pass
Passing moves the account from the evaluation Simulation Account into the Master Simulation stage (Step 3 of the published process). The activation fee is charged at that transition. The Apprentice evaluation itself now carries no consistency rule, but the home page still describes a firm wide 30% consistency rule and gates payouts on meeting it, so a consistency constraint appears only at the Master stage for this plan. In Master, payouts can be requested up to 2x/month once the consistency rule is met, at a 90/10 split; after the 2nd payout the trader may move to a live funded account and keeps the 90/10 split. Legends does not publish a per stage table of which risk parameters change at Master; the Help Center article pages were again unreadable on 2026-09-19 (see notes).
Elite: what changes when you pass
Passing moves the account from the evaluation Simulation Account into the Master Simulation stage (Step 3 of the published process). Elite carries no activation fee at that transition. In Master, payouts can be requested up to 2x/month once the consistency rule is met, at a 90/10 split; after the 2nd payout the trader may move to a live funded account and keeps the 90/10 split. Legends does not publish which risk parameters change at Master, and does not state whether Elite's 40% evaluation consistency rule or the 30% rule described on the home page applies in the Master stage; the Help Center article pages were again unreadable on 2026-09-19 (see notes).
The rules that matter
- Eval cost
- Elite $119-$347 one-time list ($71.40-$208.20 with the 40% code), no activation, at 25K/50K/100K/150K. Apprentice $59-$138/mo list ($35.40-$82.80 with the 40% code) at 50K/100K/150K only, plus $5-$50 activation. Straight to Master is retired and the 25K Apprentice is withdrawn; neither is purchasable.
- Activation fee
- None on Elite; $5 / $25 / $50 on Apprentice 50K / 100K / 150K (cut from $59 / $79 / $89 on 2026-09-28). Straight to Master is retired.
- Account sizes
- 25K, 50K, 100K, 150K
- Max accounts
- 20
- Drawdown
- EOD
- Consistency rule
- Apprentice evaluation now states no consistency requirement; Elite evaluation is 40%. The home page still advertises a firm-wide 30% rule gating payout eligibility, so 30% appears to survive only at the Master/payout stage. Straight to Master is retired.
- Profit split
- 90/10 from the start; the plans page reads 'join live funded after 2nd payout, and keep your 90/10 split' — the 2nd-payout milestone gates the live-funded transition, not the split
- Payouts
- ~5-7 winning days of $200+ per payout, min $500-$1,000, caps $800-$3,500/cycle, up to 2x/month, 1-5 business days processing; buffer $1,000-$3,500 by size; 90/10 from the first payout.
- Platforms
- Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, Sierra Chart, Quantower, TradingView via Tradovate
- Data feed
- multiple (Tradovate/Rithmic)
- Typical discount
- Apprentice and Elite evaluations are both 40% off list at checkout, and each code is limited to 5 uses. Apprentice activation now starts at $5 on the 50K, with $25 on the 100K and $50 on the 150K. The site banner advertises 55% off, but checkout prices work out to 40%, so budget on 40%. No end date is published.
