A $150 trail cannot fund a 60-point micro
Daily loss is 2.5% of $5,000, so $125. The maximum starts as a 3% intraday trail, $150. Phase 1 is 6%, $300. There is no second target. You still need 7 trading days, and you still flatten before 4:59 PM ET. Equity Guard at 1.75% is about $87. That guard is smaller than one MNQ stop at 60 points, because MNQ is $2 per point and 60 points is $120.
A stop that risks $25 on MNQ is about 12 points, $24. That is a scalp distance, not the 60 to 100 point structure used on larger books. MGC is $10 per $1. A $2 adverse move is $20, near the ticket. A $5 move is $50, twice the ticket and 40% of the day. Manual Trade Guard can attach the small stop on an MT5 test. It cannot make a 60-point MNQ idea cost $25.
The +$100 lock is most of the trail
On a PA the trail locks at the initial balance plus $100. Here that level is $5,100, and the entire starting trail is $150. The lock and the whole cushion are close together. Treat any open profit over about $80 as something you bank, because there is almost no spare room for a giveback. The $100K example of a $2,200 spike does not scale into a comfortable story on this balance. The percents are the same. The dollars are not.
A winning day of $120 is inside the profit side of a $125 loss limit, and it is 40% of a $300 target. At payout, no day may be more than 30% of the profit balance. A single MNQ winner can be too big for the consistency rule and a single MNQ loser can be too big for the day. Equity Guard near $87 is the losing-day alarm on an MT5 mirror.
Twelve $25 outcomes, if the market allows the stop
The $300 target at $25 risk is twelve full 1R winners, or about six 2R winners, inside a plan of 10 to 16 trades and 7 days. That math works only if the stop distance the chart needs is short enough to cost $25. If your Nasdaq method needs 60 points, this account is the wrong size. Move up until one MNQ at that stop is a fraction of the day, which starts to be true nearer $25K.
You must still be flat before 4:59 PM ET. A 5:1 stop-to-target rule means a 12-point stop needs at least about 3 points of target. Bot Control can remind an MT5 session of the flat time. Semi-automated assistants are allowed. Unattended bots are prohibited on the PA. The fee published in the matrix is the $137 figure for $100K, not a $5K price. Do not invent a smaller fee.
Use this size only for a very short stop
If you trade it, the contract is one MGC with a stop near $2, or an MNQ scalp near 12 points, one attempt, then done. Two of those losers are $50, and four of them approach $125. There is no room for a doubled revenge ticket. The 30% per-trade PA cap is almost automatic if one trade is allowed to lose the whole $125, because that loss is the day and a huge share of any small profit balance.

The 100% split on the first $25,000 is a larger account's payout story. On $5K the job is to avoid spending $120 on a stop the balance cannot carry.
