Legends Trading Group vs The Trading Pit: prop firm rules compared

On Legends Trading Group and The Trading Pit the drawdown trails at end of day: the floor is recalculated once, from the closing balance, so open profit given back during the session does not raise it — but equity touching the floor during the session still counts. For example, at Legends Trading Group and The Trading Pit a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On The Trading Pit the trailing floor stops rising once it reaches breakeven and stays there.

A soft daily loss limit pauses the day instead of failing the account: reach it and open positions are flattened, trading stops until the next session, and the account stays open. The Trading Pit sets it at $1,000 on $50,000. Legends Trading Group has no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

The Trading Pit starts the trading day at 5:00 PM ET (4:00 PM CT); a daily loss limit counts from that reset, not from midnight.

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. Legends Trading Group's Apprentice and Straight-to-Master plans cap any single day at 30% of total profit, so it takes at least 4 profitable days to finish inside the rule.

One day may then carry at most $1,200 of a $3,000 target.
