Legends Trading offers up to 100% profit split(On Demand payouts, $500 min), while Take Profit Trader offers up to 80%(Daily payouts). The 20 percentage point difference in profit split can add up significantly over time — on a $10,000 profit, that's $2,000 more in your pocket.
When comparing withdrawal frequency, the gap between payouts matters. Legends Trading requires 5 profitable trading days between each withdrawal — at 20 trading days per month, that works out to roughly 4 payouts per month. Take Profit Trader has no minimum profitable days requirement between withdrawals.
Both firms require clearing a buffer zone before your first payout — you must earn above your starting balance plus the drawdown amount before any withdrawal is allowed. Check the Legends Trading and Take Profit Trader detail pages for the exact buffer amounts.
