Write both boxes in dollars before you pay the fee
The 1-step box on $100,000 is a $4,000 day and a trailing $6,000 maximum. The 2-step Standard box is a $5,000 day and a static $10,000 maximum, with Phase 1 at $8,000 and Phase 2 at $5,000. Pro keeps the 2-step day and cuts the maximum to a static $8,000, which matches the Phase 1 target in cash. Three minimum trading days apply on these evaluation paths.
The fee on $100,000 is published near $398. That is smaller than the $1,000 difference between the two daily lines, so the cheaper feeling of a shorter path is not the expensive part. The expensive part is trading the tighter box with the looser lot. Open a Venasri account and save the box you paid for.
Skipping Phase 2 does not skip the trail
The 2-step asks you to make $8,000 and then $5,000 without a static hole of $10,000 on Standard. The 1-step removes the second target and replaces the static floor with a trail. A green week can lift that trail. The room you felt on day one is smaller after the week you wanted to celebrate. Static Standard does not move the $90,000 floor just because you had a good Tuesday.
Instant Funding is a third product, not a synonym for the 1-step. Instant and selected rapid tiers add a 40% best-day cap. A one-phase fantasy that dumps the target in a single gold day can pass a drawdown test and fail the payout test. Read the name on the invoice.
The half-percent unit has to shrink with the day
Half of 1% on $100,000 is $500. That is a tenth of the 2-step day and an eighth of the 1-step day. It still fits both. A $800 stop, which is a common stretch when gold is moving, is fine-looking on Standard and is a fifth of the 1-step day. Two of those end the 1-step morning. Bot controls should load $4,000 or $5,000 as the day before they load the lot.
Gold at 1.00 lot with a 50-pip stop is about $500. The same lot with a 90-pip stop is $900. The platform will not ask which challenge you bought. You have to. NAS100 at $1 per point needs the same cash test: points times lots is the dollar risk, and the dollar risk has to fit the box.
Arm $3,250 on the 1-step and $4,250 on the 2-step
Equity Guard should flatten the 1-step near $3,250 and the 2-step near $4,250 on a $100,000 account. Using one number for both means either you exit a Standard day too early or you exit a 1-step day too late. The trail on the 1-step still needs its own tally, because $6,000 of lifetime loss can arrive as several days that each stayed under $4,000.
Both products reset the day at 00:00 server time, GMT+2 or GMT+3, from the higher of balance or equity. A hold through that clock is allowed, and it can raise the next line on either product. The 1-step has less room to absorb that raise. Partial the float before you decide the shorter path is the easier one.
