Count the stops before you pick the lot
The 2-step day on Standard and Pro is 5%, or $5,000 on $100,000. A $650 stop fits seven times only with $450 left, and spread will spend that. A $350 stop fits seven times with $2,550 left, which is a real morning. Half of 1%, or $500, sits in the middle: six full losses are $3,000 and you still have a decision left. That is the unit most of these blueprints use.
The 1-step day is $4,000. Seven stops at $650 are already through it. If you bought the 1-step, the $650 end of the band is a 2-step number. Drop the unit before you reuse the screenshot. Bot controls should store the product day in dollars and reject a ticket above the unit you picked.
The same $500 is a different lot on gold, FX, and indices
At $10 per pip on one standard lot, a 20-pip FX stop at $500 wants 2.50 lots. Gold at $10 per 0.10 move wants 1.00 lot for a 50-pip stop. NAS100 or US30 at $1 per point wants 10.00 CFD lots for a 50-point stop, or 6.25 lots if the structural stop is 80 points. Using the FX lot on gold is how a planned $500 becomes $1,250 or more.
Correlated tickets share the day. Two gold ideas at $500 are a $1,000 US dollar bet. EURUSD and GBPUSD often stop together. Count the cluster, not the ticket. Open a Venasri account and write the cluster cap next to the single-ticket cap.
The day is not the only floor the lot can hit
Standard maximum loss is a static 10%, or $10,000. Pro is a static 8%, or $8,000. The 1-step trails at 6%, or $6,000. You can stay inside a $5,000 day for several sessions and still walk into the lifetime floor, especially on Pro, where $8,000 of loss equals the $8,000 Phase 1 target. Small units are how the floor stays further away than the target.
Instant and rapid tiers add a 40% best-day cap. A $650 risk that pays 5R is a $3,250 day, already through 40% of an $8,000 target. The lot that feels safe on the loss line can be illegal on the profit share. Know which product scores which test.
Put the account flatten well above one ticket
Equity Guard on a $100,000 2-step should flatten near $4,250, not at the seventh $650 stop. Waiting for the math to finish is how spread finishes it for you. On the 1-step flatten near $3,250. The guard closes the book. It does not pick the lot. You still enter at $350 to $500 if you want the seventh stop to be boring.
Daily loss resets at 00:00, GMT+2 or GMT+3, from the higher of balance or equity. A swing sized at the top of the band and held in profit through that clock raises the next day. Then the same $650 lot is a larger share of a line that has moved. Partial first. Then let the new session size from closed cash.
