Thunderbolt Legacy Complete Rules and Overview

A simple 1-step evaluation with a static risk model

What is Thunderbolt Legacy?

Thunderbolt Legacy is a one-step evaluation designed for traders who want a straightforward path to funding with clear, fixed risk limits in challenge.

In the challenge phase, this product uses Static Maximum Loss, a fixed stop-out limit that does not move as your equity changes. Once you reach the funded phase, your account switches to the Dynamic Risk Shield™, a trailing drawdown that moves with your equity.


Who is Thunderbolt Legacy for?

The fastest path to funding. One step, one target, done.

Static Maximum Loss in challenge. Your stop-out limit is fixed from the start. It does not move with your equity.

Dynamic Risk Shield™ in funded. Your max loss becomes trailing once you reach the funded phase.

Simple rules, no overthinking. Clear limits, clear goal, no unnecessary complexity.

Challenge Phase

Profit Target: 4% Reach a 4% profit on your account balance. All positions must be closed.

Daily Drawdown: 8% Maximum daily loss allowed within a single trading day (00:00 to 23:59 UTC).

Example: On a $100,000 account, your maximum daily loss is $8,000.

Static Drawdown: 10% A fixed maximum loss limit calculated from your starting balance. It does not trail, and it does not move up with profits.

Example: On a $100,000 account, your static drawdown limit is $10,000. If your equity or balance drops below $90,000, the account is considered breached.


Funded Phase

Daily Drawdown: 4% Maximum daily loss within a 24-hour period.

Dynamic Risk Shield™: 5%In the funded phase, your max loss becomes Dynamic. It moves UP with your profits.

How it works:

  • Starts at 5% below your initial balance

  • Moves UP as you make profits

  • Never moves down

  • Locks at initial balance once reached

BREACH

This is calculated on equity, not balance. Open trades count.

Minimum Trading Days: 5 You need at least 5 valid trading days before you can request a payout. A trading day only counts as valid if it meets the Daily March threshold below.

Daily March: 0.5% A day is only counted toward your minimum trading days if the account achieves at least +0.5% realized profit for that day. Days where you trade but don't reach the 0.5% threshold do not count toward the 5-day requirement.

Example: On a $100,000 funded account, a trading day only counts if the realized profit from closed trades is at least $500.

Payout Requirement: 1% Before requesting your first or any subsequent payout, you must generate at least 1% profit calculated from your initial balance.

How it works:

  • Trade at your own pace

  • Applies to each payout separately

  • Resets after each successful withdrawal

  • Only closed trades count

Max Single Trade Loss: 2% In the funded phase, you must not lose more than 2% of your initial funded balance in a single trade.

Violating this rule is a hard breach and leads to account termination.

Example: On a $100,000 funded account, the maximum loss allowed on any single trade is $2,000.

Best Day Rule: 20% To be eligible for a payout, no single trading day can represent more than 20% of your total profits.

Important: This is a SOFT rule. It does NOT breach your account. It only delays your payout until your profit distribution becomes more balanced.

Trying to bypass it by splitting a large winning position (hedging, partial closes, etc.) is not allowed. The profit may be treated as if it was closed on a single day.

Profit Split: Up to 99% You keep up to 99% of profits generated in your funded account.
