Option 1 chases the high, Option 2 waits for the close
Option 1 is an intraday trail of $3,000. Open profit moves the floor while the trade is live. Option 2 is an end-of-day trail of $3,000 plus a hard $2,200 daily loss. FundingPips Standard is neither. It is a $5,000 day and a static $10,000, reset from the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 UTC+3. A Dubai float can hurt you tomorrow. An Apex-style tick trail is not the FundingPips rule. It is the Option 1 rule.
Traders pick Option 1 for the contract limits and then meet a pullback that would have survived Option 2. If you need the trade to breathe, buy the end-of-day trail and accept the $2,200 day. If you scratch quickly, the intraday trail has less time to follow you.
A Wednesday payout after ten days and a 40% green-day test
The target is $6,000 and the minimum can be one trading day. Master payouts run on Wednesdays after 10 active days, with a 40% best-day consistency rule, at 100% of the first $10,000 and 90% after that. Forty percent of the profit being paid is a test FundingPips Standard does not use. A single NQ expansion can delay Wednesday even though the trail survived.
FundingPips targets $8,000 then $5,000 across three days and can pay Tuesday at 60% or monthly at 100%. Open a Venasri account and keep the 40% ceiling next to the option you bought. The $254 fee gap will not fund an extra day of profit the payout desk just demanded.
Flat by 3:59 PM CT, then leave the gold chart alone
Positions must be closed by 3:59 PM CT, ahead of the futures close near 4:59 PM CT. Evaluation news is permitted. Master accounts restrict bracket scalping into tier-1 releases. EAs are allowed when they respect Rithmic limits. This is not an MT5 login, so a FundingPips Expert Advisor does not flatten the NQ position.
Bot controls stay on the FundingPips book, inside 2,000 requests, with source ownership if the bot enters. The dangerous hour is just after 3:59 PM CT, when the futures screen is done and XAUUSD is not. A revenge gold ticket sized like the futures loss is how the $5,000 Dubai day dies on a day the Bulenox account actually survived.
Leave about $400 under whichever Bulenox number is live
Equity Guard on Option 2 should flatten near $1,800 of the $2,200 day. On Option 1, scratch when the intraday trail has about $600 left, measured from the new floor if a winner already ratcheted it. FundingPips flattens near $4,250. Using the Dubai number on either Bulenox option means the futures account is gone before the alert.
Four NQ contracts with a 40-point adverse move risk $3,200 at $20 a point, which clears a $3,000 trail on either option. One contract with a 15-point stop risks $300. The $145 fee is low because the room is $3,000. It is not a discount coupon for a FundingPips-sized idea.
