What is Phoenix Legacy?
Phoenix Legacy is a two-step evaluation designed for traders who want a structured path to funding with consistent, trailing risk control across every stage.
This product uses the Dynamic Risk Shield™ in every phase, including the funded phase. Your drawdown limit trails your highest equity in real time, moves up as you grow your account, and locks at your initial balance once you reach the profit threshold.
Who is Phoenix Legacy for?
A structured 2-step progression. Phase 1, then Phase 2. Simple milestones, no guessing.
Dynamic Risk Shield™ across all phases. Your max loss trails your equity throughout the challenge and the funded phase.
No time pressure. Unlimited time, no countdown, no minimum trading days in challenge.
Familiar funded conditions. When you reach the funded phase, the shield tightens but the mechanism stays the same.

Phase 1
Profit Target: 3% Reach a 3% profit on your account balance. All positions must be closed.
Daily Drawdown: 5% Maximum loss allowed within a single trading day (00:00 to 23:59 UTC).
Example: On a $100,000 account, your maximum daily loss is $5,000.
Dynamic Risk Shield™: 10% Your account is protected by a trailing drawdown that moves with your equity. It starts 10% below your initial balance and moves up as you make profits. It never moves down, and it locks at your initial balance once it reaches that level.
Phase 2
Profit Target: 2% Reach a 2% profit on your account balance. All positions must be closed.
Requirements Same rules as Phase 1:
Daily Drawdown: 5%
Dynamic Risk Shield™: 10% trailing
How the Dynamic Risk Shield™ works
Your shield is calculated on equity, not balance. Open trades count.
How it works:
Starts at 10% below your initial balance
Moves UP as you make profits
Never moves down
Locks at your initial balance once it reaches that level
Example on a $100,000 account:
Scenario | Equity | Shield Level | Status |
Start | $100,000 | $90,000 | Active |
Profit +$3,000 | $103,000 | $92,700 | Shield rises |
Loss -$2,000 | $101,000 | $92,700 | Still safe |
Profit +$10,000 | $111,000 | $100,000 | Locked at initial balance |
Loss -$5,000 | $106,000 | $100,000 | Safe (above lock) |
Loss -$12,000 | $94,000 | $100,000 | BREACH |
Once your equity grows enough that 10% below it equals your initial balance, the shield locks there permanently and no longer trails.
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.
Account Size | Min Profit Before Payout |
$25,000 | $250 |
$50,000 | $500 |
$100,000 | $1,000 |
$200,000 | $2,000 |
$500,000 | $5,000 |
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.
How Withdrawals Affect the Dynamic Risk Shield™
This is critical: withdrawing profits does not reset your Dynamic Risk Shield™. The drawdown level stays where it is.
Scenario 1: Withdrawing before the shield locks
Your $100,000 funded account grows to $104,000. Your Dynamic Risk Shield™ is now at $93,600 ($104,000 − 10%).
You withdraw the full $4,000 profit. Your balance returns to $100,000.
Result: Your drawdown limit stays at $93,600. You now have only $6,400 of available drawdown, not the original $10,000.
Scenario 2: Withdrawing after the shield locks
Your $100,000 funded account grows to $112,000. Because your equity grew enough, your Dynamic Risk Shield™ locks at $100,000.
You withdraw your entire $12,000 profit. Your balance returns to $100,000.
Result: Your account is immediately breached. Your balance ($100,000) equals your drawdown limit ($100,000), leaving zero room for any loss.
Always leave a buffer in your account after the shield locks.
