Limitless vs Legacy vs Liquid: which Solo Clash account type suits you?
In this post
September 23, 2026.
Every trader comes to the point when they must make a seemingly simple decision at first: which account type to choose?
This decision is rarely as easy as it seems at first. One account type can offer a faster path to fulfilling the Eval phase, the other can give clearer frameworks, and the third can be attractive with a faster payout cycle. Meanwhile, there are also the consistency rules, the loss limits, news trading and the conditions of the Express phase.
The choice becomes simpler when you put these rules next to your own trading style.
How often do you trade?
Do you open a position around important economic news too?
Do you build your result more evenly, or do you have outstandingly strong days?
How important is the fast Eval phase and the frequency of payouts for you?
In this article, therefore, we compare the LIMITLESS, LEGACY and LIQUID account types from the trader's perspective. We look at the most important differences, what these mean in practice, and also which trading profile they can best fit.
Short summary
Why can the same account type mean a completely different thing for two different traders?
Which rules can most influence how you can follow your own strategy?
Why is it worth looking at the Express conditions beyond the Eval phase before purchasing?
Based on what aspects can you narrow down the three account types to the one that can better fit your trading?
First look at your own trading style
It is easy to compare three account types based on price, profit target or minimum trading days. These are important data, however in themselves they say little about how you will experience the rules while trading.
Let's take a simple example.
Let's assume that you regularly trade around CPI, NFP or FOMC. In this case, the rules of news trading immediately become one of the most important decision factors.
If in your strategy occasionally a single strong day gives a significant part of the profit, the weight of the consistency rule increases.
And if you are already experienced in prop trading, you control your daily risk exactly, and you would like to get to the payout opportunity as soon as possible, completely different aspects come to the forefront.
Therefore before you choose, think through these five things:
How often do you trade?
How variable are your daily results?
Do you trade around important economic news?
How important is the fast fulfillment of the Eval phase for you?
How important is the fast payout cycle?
Keep your answers in mind, because now based on these we look at the three account types.
LIMITLESS: if you would like greater freedom in your trading
The LIMITLESS account type is primarily worth looking at more closely by those for whom flexibility is important, and they would less like to adjust their strategy to a stricter Eval phase structure.
Why can this account be interesting?
To fulfill the LIMITLESS Eval phase at least 1 trading day is required. The profit target depending on the account size is 6%, and during the Eval phase there is no consistency rule. This also means that a single strong trading day can achieve the full profit target.
News trading is also allowed. You can open, hold and increase a position during pre-announced economic events too.
This can be especially important for those who according to their trading plan regularly trade at the same time as larger market events.
Flexibility, at the same time, does not mean that in the Express phase every Eval phase condition remains unchanged.
In LIMITLESS Express for the individual payouts you must complete at least 5 such trading days on which you achieve a minimum of 200 dollars profit. At the time of the payout request a 30% consistency rule is also valid.
For whom can it be a good choice?
Limitless can be especially interesting for you if you also trade around important news, you can have outstandingly strong days, you would like greater flexibility, or the possibility of the fast fulfillment of the Eval phase is important for you.
Alongside your own style it is also worth looking through the Express rules in advance. This way already at the choice of the account you know what conditions you meet in the next phase leading towards the first payout.
Detailed rules of the LIMITLESS Eval phase
LEGACY: if you would like to proceed in a well-accustomed structure
LEGACY is our more classic account type.
At this account type it is especially important to understand how the rules fit to your trading times.
One of the most important differences: news trading
On this account a restriction applies to the designated high-impact economic events.
2 minutes before such events, during the event and in the 2 minutes following it you cannot open, hold or increase a position. The rule applies to every instrument, and is valid during the Eval phase, Express, as well as Live.
To this can belong among others such significant events like the NFP, the FOMC interest rate decision or the CPI. The exact restricted events are therefore worth checking before every trading day.
What does this mean regarding your own trading?
If you regularly trade the volatility around large economic announcements, the restrictions of Legacy can directly affect your strategy.
If these periods play little role in your trading, the more structured framework offered by Legacy can become much more interesting.
For whom can it be a good choice?
It is worth looking more closely at LEGACY if you like clearly defined frameworks, the freedom of news trading is less important to you, and you would like to proceed in a more traditional prop structure.
LIQUID: if you are looking for a faster payout path among disciplined frameworks
LIQUID offers a different kind of balance.
One of the most important specificities of the account type is the faster payout cycle, while during the Eval phase you meet stricter daily risk and consistency conditions. We position the LIQUID account type for more experienced prop traders and disciplined rule followers too.
What does the LIQUID Eval phase ask of you?
The profit target is 6%, and you must complete a minimum of 3 separate trading days.
Besides this a 40% consistency rule is valid, as well as alongside the usual EOD trailing drawdown a daily loss limit applies. The daily limit corresponds to half of the maximum loss allowance, and reaching it means the immediate loss of the Eval phase. The unrealized loss of open positions also counts into it.
There is no news trading restriction during the Eval phase.
What happens in Express?
Here appears one of the most interesting advantages of LIQUID.
For the first payout request at least 3 profitable trading days are required, and a day counts as suitable if it closes with at least 300 dollars profit. The minimum payout request is 250 dollars, and a 35% consistency rule applies to the payout.
LIQUID Express lasts exactly until five successful payouts. After the fifth successful Express payout you step further into the Live phase.
For whom can it be a good choice?
It is worth looking more thoroughly at the LIQUID account if you already confidently manage your daily risk, you can consistently trade according to your rules, and the faster payout cycle is important for you.
Detailed rules of the LIQUID Eval phase
Are you still hesitating between two account types?
At such times it is worth returning to your own trading.
Look at your last few weeks, and think through alongside which account type's rules you would have had to change your usual decisions the fewest times.
If you regularly trade important news, take this seriously at the choice.
If you frequently have outstanding profit days, look at the consistency rules thoroughly.
And if prop trading is still new to you, think over how much freedom you would like at the beginning, and how much a more predetermined framework helps.
The good choice is that one alongside whose rules you can consistently execute your own trading plan.
Frequent questions (FAQ)
Which account type is it worth choosing if I am new to prop trading?
The more structured framework of LEGACY can be a good starting point if you value predetermined rules.
At the choice, however, always take your own strategy into consideration, especially news trading, risk management and trading frequency.
On which account type can I get to the first payout opportunity sooner?
On the LIQUID account, since in the Express phase a minimum of 3 suitable profitable days are required to request the payout.
What is the most important difference between LIMITLESS and LIQUID?
LIMITLESS offers greater flexibility during the Eval phase: 1 day minimum, no Eval phase consistency rule, and no news trading restriction. LIQUID uses a 3 day minimum, a 40% Eval phase consistency rule and a daily loss limit, in exchange in Express the payout opportunity can open after three suitable profitable days.
Summary
LIMITLESS, LEGACY and LIQUID give three different frameworks to the same goal.
LIMITLESS can get to the front of your list if you would like greater flexibility, the freedom of news trading is important to you, you can have stronger profit days, or you value the possibility of the Eval phase completable even under one day.
LEGACY can be interesting if you would like to proceed among clearly defined, more structured frameworks, and the news trading restriction is reconcilable with your own trading times.
LIQUID can be a strong choice if you already manage your daily risk with discipline, you are capable of trading alongside consistency conditions, and the possibility of faster payout is important to you.
Now you also know which rules it is worth measuring to your own trading style. From here the next step is simple: put those account types next to each other that are most suitable for you, choose the desired account size, and look at the exact conditions before purchase.
