Whose dollars is the 5% of?
Axi Select daily loss is 5% against live account equity on the Axi MT4/MT5 login, with a hard 10% stage maximum that pauses you for two weeks on first hit. If the platform is measuring deposit plus multiplier, 5% of a $12,000 combined book is $600, not $100. Read the Axi Select dashboard's equity and stage-start fields every morning. Then set Venasri to those dollars, not to a generic "$100K 5% = $5,000" FTMO muscle memory.
Start a free Venasri account and create an Axi Select profile whose account size is the live equity Axi displays, updated after each 1st-of-month settlement. A stale $100K preset on a $8,400 Incubation book will not flatten until you have already spent the stage.
Worked example: $2,000 Seed, $10,000 multiplier, one gold ticket
Combined equity $12,000. Daily 5% = $600. Stage 10% = $1,200. You sell 0.30 lots XAUUSD with a 40-pip "mental stop." Gold runs $22 against you: about $660. Daily line is gone. If Axi still has you in the session, another $20 is $1,260 and the 10% quarantine fires. Your cash loss is a fraction of $2,000, but the multiplier pause costs a month of Edge Score compounding. That is the Axi Select calculator: cash is small, allocation time is not.
Venasri Equity Guard at 3.5% of displayed equity ($420 on $12,000) stops the first ticket before $600. Cap that gold stop at $150 (1.25% of cash, 1.25% of combined... pick the smaller). On $12,000, 0.40% is $48. That is a 0.05 to 0.08 lot gold ticket, not 0.30.
Edge Score after a 4% day you 'recovered'
You lose 4% ($480 on $12,000), then make 5% the same week. Stage math looks green. Edge Score still saw a 4% isolated loser, which is the consistency and risk legs of the grade. Axi can freeze multiplier progression without a 10% print. Guard plus a 15-minute lockout after a loss, via 24/7 MT5 Bot Control, is how you keep the score above 50. The 20-day minimum already forces you to show more than one lucky session. Do not spend those 20 days on two hero trades and eighteen flats.
Monthly 1st settlement: if you are up 6% on the 29th and down 3% on the 31st, you settled less and you showed a late-month risk burst. Flatten into the 30th if you are already above the 5% stage target and sitting inside 2% of the daily line.
Live Axi clock, no fake 00:00 prop reset
Axi server time (00:00 on Axi MT4/MT5) still matters for your own daily notes, but this is a live account: a 5% equity drop at 14:10 Sydney is a 5% drop. Do not wait for a prop-style midnight. Drive the ZeroMQ MT5 Bridge as you would on a personal Axi live book. Guard polls every 3 seconds. That is the reset.
If quarantine hits, Venasri should disable entries for 14 calendar days on that login. The two-week pause is a rule, not a suggestion. Trading a second Axi account to "keep the Edge Score warm" is how brokers decide you are not the allocation they wanted.
