The hole is twenty units and the day is ten
Half a percent of $200,000 is $1,000. Daily loss is $10,000. The stage maximum is $20,000, and the first print pauses the allocation for 2 weeks. Phase 1 is $10,000, with another $10,000 if the path has a second 5% mark. At $10 per pip, $1,000 is 2.00 lots with a 50-pip stop or 5.00 lots with a 20-pip stop. Gold at $10 per 0.10 move is 2.00 lots on a 50-pip stop.
Importing a 1.00 lot gold habit from a $100,000 plan risks $500 here, which is 0.25%. It will feel safe and slow. The dangerous fix is to jump to 3.00 lots, $1,500 on a 50-pip stop, because the smaller size felt pointless. Bot controls should load $1,000 on the day the stage changes and reject both the leftover and the overshoot.
Twenty days makes the $10,000 target a $500 average
The minimum is about 20 trading days. A smooth $10,000 is $500 a session, half of one unit. You are not behind if Tuesday has no trade. You are behind if Tuesday risks $3,000 to catch a pace that was never a daily quota. The Edge Score, 50 to 90 or higher, can freeze the multiplier for a month on that single Tuesday, and the 1st will settle up to 90% of whatever multiplier profit survived.
Your own deposit keeps 100% of its profit. The entry fee is still $0. Register with Venasri and separate "my money" from "multiplier" in the log, because a $200,000 buying-power figure tempts people to trade as if the downside were theoretical. Live equity says it is not.
Two lots of gold over a weekend are a full unit per 50 pips
Weekend holding is allowed. A 50-pip Sunday gap on 2.00 lots is about $1,000, one entire unit, before the new day has a plan. A 70-pip gap is $1,400. There is no blackout if the reopen coincides with headlines. The 13:30 UTC index open is a second place where this balance gets hurt, because five NAS100 contracts that were $500 on the smaller stage are still five contracts here, and the correct cash unit just doubled.
If point value is $1, a 100-point stop now affords about 10 contracts at $1,000, not the old 5, and not 20. Write the contract count next to the stop. Reset at 00:00 will mark a $4,000 open winner as live equity. Giving it back spends $4,000 of the next $10,000. Partial anything larger than one unit.
Flatten near $8,500 and do not reuse $4,250
Equity Guard at 4.25% is $8,500 on this stage. A guard left at $4,250 from the $100,000 book cuts you at 2.125%, which will fire on ordinary gold noise and train you to disable it. Then the real $10,000 line is naked. Set $8,500, leave $1,500 for slip, and stop adding $1,000 ideas once open loss passes $7,000.
Expert Advisors must read the stage. A hardcoded 1.00 lot on a $200,000 multiplier is not conservatism if the stop is 80 pips, because that is $800 on FX and a different number on a fat index contract. Recompute cash every time the stop, the symbol, or the balance changes. The 2-week pause at $20,000 is the number you should only ever see on a statement you are studying, not on one you are in.
