Astral Legacy Challenge Complete Rules & Overview

A structured 3-step evaluation with static risk limits

Astral Legacy is a structured 3-step evaluation built for traders who want clear milestones, consistent risk control, and a straightforward path to funding.

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 Astral Legacy for?

  • Clear milestones. You hit Phase 1, then Phase 2, then Phase 3. 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.

  • Familiar funded conditions. When you reach the funded phase, the structure stays the same: same shield mechanism, same predictability, just tighter parameters.

Phase 1

Profit Target: 2% Reach a 2% profit on your account balance. All positions must be closed.

Daily Drawdown: 5% Maximum daily loss within a 24-hour period (00:00 to 23:59 UTC). Resets daily at 00:00 UTC.

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% Same as Phase 1. Reach a 2% profit on your account balance. All positions must be closed.

Daily Drawdown: 5% Same as Phase 1.

Dynamic Risk Shield™: 10% Same trailing mechanism as Phase 1.

Phase 3

Profit Target: 2% Same target. Hit 2% and you're funded.

Daily Drawdown: 5% Same as previous phases.

Dynamic Risk Shield™: 10% Same trailing mechanism. Once you pass Phase 3, the shield tightens to 5% in the funded phase.

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

$106,000

$100,000

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.

How it works:

  • No minimum trading days requirement beyond the 5-day Daily March rule

  • Trade at your own pace

  • Applies to each payout separately

  • Resets after each successful withdrawal

  • Only closed trades count

Max Single Trade Loss: 2% To manage risk effectively in the funded phase, traders must not lose more than 2% of their initial funded account balance in a single trade.

Note: Splitting trades into multiple positions does not bypass this rule. They are counted as one trade.

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

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 the Best Day Rule by intentionally splitting a large winning position (hedging or closing parts separately) is not allowed. The entire profit from that trade may be counted 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.
