Leveraged Review

Overview

Leveraged is an active prop trading firm with some genuinely interesting account structures, but it would not be my first-choice prop firm in September 2026. The biggest concern is not its challenge pricing or drawdown rules. It is the combination of a specific CySEC regulatory warning, Trustpilot removing fake reviews and disabling the company's rating, and fairly broad discretion around risk reviews and Portfolio Manager approval.

That does not prove Leveraged is a scam.

There is also evidence of traders receiving payouts, and Leveraged publishes substantially more information about its rules than many questionable prop firms. But anyone considering GetLeveraged should understand the regulatory and payout-risk issues before buying an evaluation.

Interesting product, but material due-diligence concerns

Leveraged's own terms identify the operating company as GetLeveraged Ltd, Saint Lucia registration 2025-00808, with a head office at Omonoias 13 in Limassol, Cyprus. Payments and billing are handled by Leveraged Capital Management LTD in Cyprus. Leveraged describes itself as a proprietary trading firm rather than a brokerage.

Is Leveraged legit or a scam?

Leveraged is a functioning prop trading business, but there are enough independent warning signals that I would not describe it simply as "legit" without qualification. There is not enough evidence to state as fact that GetLeveraged is a scam either.

The most important piece of external evidence is an official warning published by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, or CySEC, on 7 April 2026.

CySEC stated that getleveraged.com does not belong to an entity authorised by CySEC to provide investment services or perform investment activities under the relevant Cypriot law. The domain also appears on CySEC's list of non-approved domains.

There is an important distinction here.

Leveraged says it is a prop trading firm, not a brokerage firm, and its evaluation stage uses simulated trading rather than customers depositing capital into a normal brokerage account. CySEC's warning therefore should not automatically be rewritten as "CySEC says Leveraged is a scam." That is not what the regulator said.

But a financial regulator specifically naming the firm's domain is still a substantial due-diligence issue, especially because Leveraged lists its head office in Cyprus.

For a trader deciding whether to hand over money, that distinction matters less than it does to lawyers. You need to decide whether you are comfortable relying on a contractual relationship with the firm if a payout dispute occurs.

What Leveraged prop firm programmes are available?

Leveraged currently offers several different evaluation structures rather than forcing every trader through one challenge.

Programme: Junior. Evaluation: 1 phase. Profit target: 10%. Daily loss: 3%. Maximum loss: 6% static. Funded split: 80%

Programme: Senior. Evaluation: 2 phases. Profit target: 5% / 8%. Daily loss: 5%. Maximum loss: 10% static. Funded split: 80%

Programme: Executive. Evaluation: 3 phases. Profit target: 6% / 8% / 10%. Daily loss: 3%. Maximum loss: 6% static. Funded split: 80%

Programme: Turbo. Evaluation: 1 phase. Profit target: 6%. Daily loss: 3%. Maximum loss: 6% trailing. Funded split: 80%

Programme: Sprint. Evaluation: 1 phase. Profit target: 2%. Daily loss: 1%. Maximum loss: 1% static. Funded split: 80%

Leveraged currently advertises maximum allocations of $5,000 for Junior, $100,000 for Senior, $1 million for Executive, $200,000 for Turbo, $100,000 for Sprint and $150,000 for its Crypto programme.

Which Leveraged challenge has the best rules?

The Senior Portfolio Manager programme has the most forgiving risk structure on paper. Turbo has the better commercial hook, while Sprint is much harder than its 2% target initially makes it look.

One useful way to compare prop challenges is to calculate the profit target relative to the maximum loss allowance.

A lower ratio gives the trader more loss budget for each percentage point of profit required:

Programme / phase

Senior Phase 1. Profit target: 5%. Max loss: 10%. Target-to-loss ratio: 0.50

Programme / phase

Senior Phase 2. Profit target: 8%. Max loss: 10%. Target-to-loss ratio: 0.80

Programme / phase

Turbo. Profit target: 6%. Max loss: 6%. Target-to-loss ratio: 1.00

Programme / phase

Executive Phase 1. Profit target: 6%. Max loss: 6%. Target-to-loss ratio: 1.00

Programme / phase

Executive Phase 2. Profit target: 8%. Max loss: 6%. Target-to-loss ratio: 1.33

Programme / phase

Junior. Profit target: 10%. Max loss: 6%. Target-to-loss ratio: 1.67

Programme / phase

Executive Phase 3. Profit target: 10%. Max loss: 6%. Target-to-loss ratio: 1.67

Programme / phase

Sprint. Profit target: 2%. Max loss: 1%. Target-to-loss ratio: 2.00

This calculation does not capture every difficulty factor, particularly daily drawdown, trailing drawdown and profitable-day rules. But it exposes something the headline profit targets hide.

Sprint requires only 2% profit, but traders get just 1% of total drawdown. The target is therefore twice the entire loss allowance.

By comparison, Senior Phase 1 asks for 5% profit while allowing 10% maximum drawdown. For traders who care more about survival probability than reaching funding in the fewest possible phases, Senior is arguably the strongest Leveraged programme.

Is the Leveraged Turbo challenge worth it?

Turbo is Leveraged's most interesting offer if your priority is reducing the amount of money at risk before proving you can pass an evaluation.

The Turbo programme uses a Pay After You Pass structure. Leveraged currently charges $8.88 to start, with the remaining activation fee payable only after passing the evaluation.

The evaluation requires:

• 6% profit target
• 3% daily loss limit
• 6% maximum trailing loss
• No time limit
• One evaluation phase

Once funded, Turbo provides an 80% profit split, but additional payout conditions apply.

The $8.88 headline is good customer acquisition because the initial financial downside is tiny compared with buying a normal evaluation upfront.

But Pay After You Pass does not mean you get funded for $8.88. Passing creates the requirement to pay the remaining activation fee before receiving the funded account.

The more important issue is what happens after funding.

How do Leveraged payouts work?

Turbo and Crypto traders can request their first payout after 14 calendar days, but they must satisfy profitable-day and consistency requirements before becoming eligible.

For Turbo and Crypto accounts, Leveraged currently requires:

At least three profitable trading days.

Each qualifying day must produce at least 0.5% of the initial account balance.

The trader's best day must not represent more than 20% of accumulated profit when requesting a payout.

Leveraged states that subsequent eligible payouts can be requested every 14 days.

The 20% consistency requirement deserves more attention than it usually gets.

For example, suppose a trader makes $1,000 on their best trading day.

For that $1,000 day to represent no more than 20% of total profits: $1,000 ÷ 20% = $5,000

The trader therefore needs at least $5,000 of accumulated profit before that payout satisfies the consistency calculation.

Likewise, on a $100,000 Turbo account, each of the three required profitable days must generate at least $500, because 0.5% of $100,000 equals $500.

These rules do not necessarily make Turbo bad, but they make it important to optimise your trading style for payout eligibility, not merely for passing the evaluation.

Can Leveraged conduct a risk review before paying you?

Yes. Leveraged's terms allow the company to conduct verification and risk reviews, including requesting a video interview.

The Terms of Use state that passing the simulation does not automatically guarantee appointment as a Portfolio Manager. A user may need to complete verification, receive risk-department approval and provide more information. Leveraged also reserves the right to request a video interview.

Its prohibited-trading documentation lists possible actions such as:

The practical point is simple:

Passing the numerical challenge is not the same as having an unconditional right to a funded account or payout.

Read the current Terms of Use and prohibited-strategy rules before purchasing. Do not wait until the withdrawal stage to find out how the company interprets them.

What trading strategies does Leveraged allow?

Leveraged supports MetaTrader 5 and cTrader and permits a range of trading styles, but its automation rules are not completely unrestricted.

For Expert Advisors, Leveraged currently allows:

Risk-management EAs

Copy-trading EAs where the same trader controls their own linked accounts

Self-developed EAs using the trader's own strategy

Commercial, purchased, rented or publicly distributed EAs are prohibited.

Funded Turbo accounts also have specific restrictions around practices such as partial-close manipulation and overnight hedging designed to affect the consistency score.

Traders using automated systems, scalping strategies, hedging or unusual execution methods should therefore check the exact current rules rather than assuming "EAs allowed" means every automated strategy is permitted.

What do Leveraged reviews say?

Leveraged has a strongly positive numerical review profile, but Trustpilot's warning means the overall rating should not be treated as reliable evidence on its own.

As of September 2026, Trustpilot displays more than 1,200 Leveraged reviews, with approximately 81% showing five stars. Trustpilot also says that the company's overall rating is unavailable because of a breach of its guidelines and that it removed a number of fake reviews.

That changes how the review profile should be read.

Some recent individual reviews report successful payouts, responsive support and positive risk-review experiences. Other reviewers allege account closures, disputed rule breaches and refused payouts.

Neither group proves what every trader will experience.

Positive reviews show that some users report receiving payouts. Negative reviews show that disputes occur. Individual Trustpilot posts do not prove that every payout is reliable, and they do not prove that Leveraged is fraudulent.

The platform-level warning carries more weight because it concerns the integrity of the review profile itself.

What are the main advantages and disadvantages of Leveraged?

Advantages

Low-cost Turbo entry: $8.88 upfront reduces the cost of attempting an evaluation.

Multiple evaluation structures: Traders can choose between one, two and three-stage models.

No time limit on major programmes: Traders do not need to force trades simply to meet a challenge deadline.

Senior offers generous loss allowances: The 5% daily and 10% maximum drawdown provide more room than Leveraged's other programmes.

80% funded profit split: The same headline split applies across its funded programmes.

MT5 and cTrader support: Both are established trading platforms.

Published rule documentation: Leveraged provides detailed information on drawdown, consistency, payouts and prohibited strategies.

Disadvantages

CySEC has specifically warned about getleveraged.com.

Trustpilot has removed fake reviews and disabled the company's rating.

Risk-department approval can matter even after passing an evaluation.

Turbo uses trailing drawdown rather than static drawdown.

Turbo funded accounts have a 20% consistency rule.

Sprint's 1% maximum loss allowance makes its apparently easy 2% target much less forgiving.

Some strategies and EAs that traders may expect to use are prohibited.

Who is Leveraged best for?

Leveraged is most suitable for traders who understand prop-firm rules and want to test an evaluation without committing much money upfront.

Turbo suits traders who want to test whether their strategy can survive a 6% target and 6% trailing drawdown before paying the full evaluation cost.

Senior suits traders who value wider loss limits over completing the fewest possible phases.

Sprint is harder to recommend. Its 2% target sounds low, but the 1% maximum loss leaves little room for error.

Leveraged is less suitable for anyone who prioritises regulatory certainty, simple payout conditions or a long operating history.

Should you use Leveraged?

I would not make Leveraged my default prop firm choice in September 2026.

The product itself has strengths. Turbo's Pay After You Pass model is commercially attractive, Senior has genuinely competitive risk limits, the programme documentation is reasonably detailed, and there are traders publicly reporting successful payouts.

But the due-diligence layer matters more.

CySEC specifically warned about getleveraged.com on 7 April 2026. Trustpilot currently says it removed fake reviews and has made Leveraged's rating unavailable because of a guidelines breach. Leveraged's own terms also leave meaningful discretion around risk approval and verification.

My verdict is therefore:

Leveraged is not a firm I would call a proven scam based on the available evidence, but it carries enough independent red flags that I would treat it as a higher-risk prop firm rather than a default recommendation.

If you do choose Leveraged, save a copy of the rules and Terms of Use that apply on the day you purchase, understand the payout requirements before trading, and start with the smallest financial exposure that lets you test the complete process from evaluation through to an actual withdrawal.
