Legends Trading vs Trade Day

Starting costs are not ranked because an activation fee is unknown. Legends Trading charges $151 one-time. Trade Day charges $62/mo (monthly subscription).

Legends Trading uses EOD Trailing drawdown at 4.4% ($2,200 buffer once locked at initial), while Trade Day uses Intraday Trailing drawdown at 4% ($2,000 buffer once locked at initial). Trade Day uses intraday trailing, the strictest type — your floor moves in real time with every tick of profit. Legends Trading's EOD trailing only adjusts at market close, giving intraday profits a safer cushion. Lock behavior differs: Legends Trading — locks at $50,000 after $2,200 profit, while Trade Day — locks at $50,000 after $2,000 profit.
