Legends Trading is $75 cheaper to get started. Legends Trading charges $151 one-time. Trade Day charges $87/mo (monthly subscription) plus a $139 activation fee. Trade Day currently has an active promotion which may further reduce cost.

Legends Trading uses EOD Trailing drawdown at 4.4% ($2,200 buffer once locked at initial), while Trade Day uses Intraday Trailing 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.

Legends Trading gets you funded faster, with an estimated ~5 days to first payout (5d winning). Consistency rules also affect pacing: Legends Trading caps your best day at 40% of total profit, while Trade Day caps at 30% — a looser rule means you may need fewer trading days in practice.

Legends Trading offers up to 100% profit split(On Demand payouts, $500 min), while Trade Day offers up to 95%(On Demand payouts, $250 min). The 5 percentage point difference in profit split can add up significantly over time — on a $10,000 profit, that's $500 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. Trade Day 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 detail pages for the exact buffer amounts.
