Typical values for each firm's standard accounts. "Not in the preset" means Propbook's default account for that firm carries no such limit — other plans from the same firm may, and firms change their terms, so check your own contract.

What actually separates them
If intraday trailing is acceptable to you, these two are close relatives. Leeloo runs $25K to $150K; Apex runs the same range and then keeps going to $250K and $300K.
The visible divergence in the standard presets is the payout brake: Apex applies a 30% consistency rule, Leeloo's default account carries none. On the $150K, Apex also gives $5,000 of room against $4,500.
With no daily limit on either, the discipline has to be yours. An intraday trail plus an uncapped day is the combination that turns one bad afternoon into a dead account.
Which one suits you
Apex fits you if…
you want the larger sizes and accept a consistency rule as the price of them.
Leeloo fits you if…
you want the same mechanic at the standard sizes without a consistency brake on your best session.

What does intraday trailing mean here?
Your maximum-loss line follows your highest unrealised equity — open profit raises it even if you close the trade flat.
Does either have a daily loss limit?
Neither standard preset carries one. Set your own, tighter than anything the firm would impose.
Which gives more room?
They match on the shared sizes except the $150K, where Apex's preset carries $5,000 against Leeloo's $4,500 — and Apex offers two larger accounts on top.
