| New/developing trader, want structured growth | Rise ($99/mo for 50K) | Scaling Plan, clear roadmap, 6% target, 2-day eval minimum |
| Experienced, want 90% split from day 1 | Elite ($199/mo for 50K) | 90% (→95%) from payout 1, full contract access, no eval DLL |
| Want immediate funded access, no evaluation | Instant ($449 for 50K) | One-time fee, no activation fee, trade funded immediately |
| Want highest first payout cap | Elite | $5,000 first payout cap vs $2,500 on Rise |

Rise vs Elite Key Differences
Rise: 75%→85%→90% tiered split, 6% target, Scaling Plan in funded (contract limits grow with profits), no daily limit in eval, no daily limit in funded, $2,500 first payout cap, 30% funded consistency, 3% daily profit cooldown rule.
Elite: 90%→95% flat split from day 1, 7% target, no Scaling Plan, full contract access immediately, no daily limit in eval, 2% daily limit in funded, $5,000 first payout cap, 50% eval/30% funded consistency.
The key trade-off: Rise is cheaper ($99/month vs $199/month for 50K) but takes longer to reach 90% split and restricts contracts during early funded phase. Elite costs more but delivers 90% immediately, full contract access, and a higher first payout cap. Experienced traders with consistent pass rates should calculate the break-even carefully the extra monthly cost of Elite may be offset by the immediate split advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What programs does Legacy Funded Futures offer?
Legacy Funded Futures offers three programs. The Rise plan is an evaluation-based monthly subscription (from $99/month) designed for newer or developing traders. It features a 6% profit target, EOD trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit during evaluation, and a structured Scaling Plan in the funded phase. Profit split is tiered: 75% for payouts 1 and 2, 85% for 3 and 4, and 90% from payout 5 onward. The Elite plan is a higher-priced evaluation ($199–$429/month) for experienced traders, offering a 7% profit target, no daily loss limit during evaluation, full contract access from day one, and a 90% split from the first payout rising to 95% after 3 months. The Instant plan is a one-time fee ($449–$779) with no evaluation required traders start funded immediately.
What is EOD trailing drawdown and how does it work at Legacy Funded Futures?
EOD stands for End of Day. Legacy Funded Futures uses end-of-day trailing drawdown on all three programs, meaning the drawdown floor only adjusts once per trading day at session close not in real time during the session. The floor rises based on the highest equity point reached during that day, as captured at the daily close. This differs from intraday trailing drawdown used by some competitors, where any equity spike during the session immediately and permanently raises the floor. EOD trailing gives traders more room during intraday volatility without fear of the floor rising on unrealised positions.
What is the consistency rule at Legacy Funded Futures?
The consistency rule limits how much of your total profits can come from a single trading day. For Rise funded accounts, the consistency rule is 30% no single day should represent 30% or more of your total profits for the payout period. Any trading day that produces 40% or more of total profit triggers a manual review. For Elite accounts, the evaluation phase has a 50% consistency rule, while the funded phase applies a 30% rule. There is also a 3% daily profit cooldown rule on Rise accounts: any day where profit exceeds 3% of account balance triggers a 50% reduction in contract limits for the next trading session.
What are the payout requirements for Rise and Elite accounts?
For Rise funded accounts, the first payout requires: 10 total trading days, 5 winning days (each with at least $200 profit), and a minimum of 15 calendar days in the funded account. Subsequent payouts require a new 5-day winning streak. First payout is capped at $2,500, the second at $5,000, and the third-plus at $12,000. For Elite funded accounts: 10 total trading days and 5 winning days ($200+ each) before the first payout, with every subsequent payout also requiring a new 5-day win streak. Elite first payout is capped at $5,000 and the second at $10,000. Both plans require payouts to be requested by email to the support team for manual review, processed within 48 business hours.
What makes the Elite plan different from the Rise plan?
The Elite plan has several key differences from Rise. First, the profit split is 90% from the very first payout no tiered structure rising to 95% after 3 months of clean trading. Rise starts at 75% for the first two payouts. Second, Elite has full contract access from day one with no Scaling Plan Rise has a Scaling Plan that restricts contract sizes until profit thresholds are reached. Third, Elite has a higher first payout cap ($5,000 vs $2,500 for Rise). Fourth, Elite evaluation applies a 50% consistency rule vs Rise's 30% in funded. Fifth, a 2% daily loss limit applies in the Elite funded phase. The trade-off is higher monthly pricing ($199–$429 vs $99–$179 for Rise) and slightly higher profit targets (7% vs 6%).
What is the Rise Scaling Plan and how does it work?
The Rise Scaling Plan controls how many contracts funded traders on Rise accounts are allowed to trade, based on their realised profit to date. Starting from a conservative baseline at under $1,500 profit, contract limits increase progressively as profit milestones are reached. For example, a $50K funded account starts at 2 mini/20 micro contracts, increasing to 5 mini/50 micro at $2,000–$3,000 in profit. A $100K account starts at 3 mini/30 micro and can reach 10 mini/100 micro at $3,000+ in profit. The Scaling Plan applies to the funded phase only and does not apply to Elite accounts. Adjustments are applied at the end of each trading day the updated limit takes effect in the next session.
What trading practices are prohibited at Legacy Funded Futures?
Legacy Funded Futures prohibits: high-frequency trading over 100 trades per day, fully automated bots and AI trading systems, all-or-nothing or gambling-style trading using DLL as a stop loss, tick or micro scalping (trades under 2 minutes and less than 10 ticks), reverse trading or hedging across multiple accounts, hedging within the same account, group trading and collusion, order book spamming, and latency arbitrage. Semi-automated trading custom indicators or signals where the trader manually places and manages trades is allowed. News trading positions may be held through events, but no new orders or closes are permitted within 2 minutes before or after any high-impact release on both Rise and Elite funded accounts.
How does the Instant plan work at Legacy Funded Futures?
The Instant plan provides immediate funded access with no evaluation phase, for a one-time fee of $449 (50K), $599 (100K), or $779 (150K). There is no activation fee. The Instant accounts use EOD trailing drawdown and have a daily loss limit of $1,000 (50K), $1,750 (100K), or $2,500 (150K). Before requesting the first payout, traders must complete 7 minimum winning days with at least $250 profit per winning day. All payouts are processed within 48 business hours via Rise (Riseworks) or crypto.
Is news trading allowed at Legacy Funded Futures?
News trading is permitted in the sense that traders may hold open positions through high-impact news events. However, no new orders may be placed or closed within 2 minutes before or after any high-impact economic release on both Rise and Elite funded accounts. High-risk behavior around news events, including all-or-nothing positioning or gambling-style execution during volatile releases, is explicitly prohibited and may result in disqualification. The 2-minute rule applies to both sides of the release window.
What are the payout caps and withdrawal process?
Payouts are not submitted via a dashboard button they require sending an email to Support with the account number, requested amount, and confirmation that conditions are met. The team manually reviews all payout requests and processes them within 48 business hours. Rise caps: first payout $2,500, second $5,000, third-plus $12,000 (manual review for requests over $5,000). Elite caps: first $5,000, second $10,000, third-plus $12,000. Both plans share a $250 minimum payout and require the trader to retain at least 65% of total profits at the time of the request a drawdown of 35% or more of profits will result in payout denial.
Verdict
Legacy Funded Futures is a transparent, well-structured US-based futures prop firm with three programs covering beginner, experienced, and instant-access trader profiles. Elite is the strongest value for consistent traders 90% split from day 1, full contracts, no Scaling Plan, and a $5K first payout cap are genuine advantages. Rise provides a structured roadmap. Instant removes the evaluation barrier. The EOD drawdown across all plans and the 2-day eval minimum are standout features. The email-based payout process and tiered Rise split are the main friction points.
Best entry: Elite (50K at $199/month) for experienced traders. Rise (50K at $99/month) for developing traders. Instant (50K at $449) for immediate access. Verify current terms at legacyfundedfutures.com.
