Three days, sixteen units
0.50% of $100K is $500. Sixteen winners sum to $8,000, the Phase 1 target. Ten winners sum to $5,000, which is Phase 2's entire target and also the entire daily loss. The 10 to 16 count is the trade range. The math lands on 8% at the long end when each winner is about one unit. A larger winner shortens the count and threatens the 40% on-demand test.
Open a Venasri account and pre-commit to three sessions. A single $8,000 day would be the whole target and a 100% best day. The calendar forbids that shortcut anyway, because 3 days are required, and the loss line would have opinions about the path that got there.
4.25% on Pro, something tighter on One
The Pro day is 5%, $5,000. A 4.25% flatten is $4,250. The $750 gap is where spread and a late click live. Alpha One's day is 4%, $4,000. A $4,250 guard is already a breach on One. If you are passing One, the guard sits under $4,000 and the maximum is a 6% end-of-day trail, $6,000. Do not borrow the Pro number because the pass article you read was about the 2-step.
Equity Guard also has to know 00:00 ACG Markets time, GMT+2 or GMT+3, and the higher of balance or equity. A winner held through the print raises the next base. Banking part of it keeps day two and day three at a full allowance.
Phase 2 is one bad day wide
After the $8,000, Phase 2 asks for $5,000. Ten winners at $500 complete it. Ten losers at $500 fail the day and delete the target in the same breath. The static 10% floor, $10,000, will still show room. You will be done anyway. The floor is not the line that passes people. The day is.
Bot Control should stop new risk after a small number of losers so ten units cannot print in one tilt. Three or more trades in a five-minute span after a loss, a widened stop, a 60-second edit storm, averaging down, and a lot above 2x are the leaks that turn five calm units into a dead day.
Payout rules start only after the pass
The split is 80%. The cycle is every 14 calendar days, or on demand if the best day stays inside 40%. Forty percent of $8,000 is $3,200. Keep any one day under that if you want on-demand later. Funded Pro adds a 2-minute news window. The 25-lot example on $100K is a funded cap, not a Phase 1 tactic. Sub-60-second profit majorities fail the funded book.
Weekend holds are allowed on Pro and Swing. They are a poor way to manufacture the third trading day. A Sunday gap spends the daily bucket and may not even count as the session you think it does. Trade the three days on purpose. The $497 fee is the cheap part next to a restarted $100K exam.
