What this means for a systematic strategy
Leeloo is not a “hit target, press payout” firm. The Performance Account carries a 30% rule and a manual review that looks at contract size, holding time and profit-taking, and the first payout needs 30 active trading days. For a coded strategy the review is the risk: a system that varies size or trades few days can be read as inconsistent even inside the limits.
Is Leeloo Trading worth it for a systematic strategy?
Only for a fixed-size, daily-active system that can wait 30 days for the first payout. The copy-trading restrictions and the review style make it a poor fit for anything automated across accounts.
