Why the $100K gold lot does not fit
Unlimited's maximum on $10K is 8%, $800, with the floor at $9,200. Elite's static 10% is $1,000. Rapid trails 6%, starting at $600. Phase 1 is 8%, $800, and Phase 2 is 4%, $400. Daily loss resets at 00:00 server time from the higher of balance or equity. None of those numbers can absorb a $500 planned gold loss. The trade is a breach before the chart has to be wrong by much.
Half a percent is $50. On XAUUSD, 0.10 lots with a 50-pip stop risks $50. Stretch the stop to 70 pips and 0.10 lots risks $70, still under a $100 shield. A 0.20 lot gold ticket at 50 pips is $100, which is the 1% shield on the nose. Manual Trade Guard should put the 0.10 lot stop on the MT5 order at the fill. If the platform is Match-Trader or TradeLocker, type that same price yourself.
FX at 0.25 lots, indices at one idea
EURUSD at $10 a pip with a 20-pip stop and $50 of risk is 0.25 lots. A 30-pip stop at that lot is $75, still inside the shield and well inside the $400 day. The failure mode is stacking a 0.25 lot FX idea under a 0.10 lot gold idea and calling them separate. If both stop, the open loss can tag $100 while you are watching only one chart. Guardian Shield sees the float, not the story.
Where an index CFD pays $1 per point, $50 of risk is 0.83 lots at a 60-point stop and 0.50 lots at 100 points. Round down to 0.80 or 0.50. Two index symbols at the 13:30 UTC open are one risk. Bot Control should wait for that opening candle to close before an index entry is allowed, and it should pause fresh tickets after a losing close.
A $325 flatten leaves the $400 line alone
Equity Guard belongs at 3.25%, $325, on this balance. That is the daily backstop. The shield is tighter: exit open loss yourself as it approaches $100 if your funded cap is 1%. EAs and risk managers are allowed inside standard MT5 anti-hyperactivity limits. An EA that adds a second 0.10 lot under a red gold trade is an EA that volunteers for the strike. Step the stop at the partial. Do not rewrite it on every tick.
A +$180 overnight float looks small until midnight rebases the 4% day off $10,180. Giving the float back on Tuesday spends almost half of a $400 day. Equity Guard does not replace the partial before 00:00. Weekend holds are allowed, and the Sunday gap counts. There is no minimum day rule, so you can be flat into the snapshot without failing a "must trade" quota.
Phase 1 is sixteen $50 outcomes if you only bank 1R
The $800 Phase 1 target is sixteen $50 winners if each winner is only 1R, or eight winners if each is a full 2R. Plan for 10 to 16 trades, not a single hero morning. The Unlimited maximum is also $800, so a round trip of the entire target ties the floor. Bank partials at TP1 through TP4. The 85% split starts 14 days after the first funded trade, and only if the strike count is still zero.
Create a free Venasri account before you pay for the $10K path, and save 0.25 FX lots and 0.10 gold lots as hard defaults. If you later move to a $25K or $100K login, build a new card. Pasting this 0.10 lot gold size upward is safe. Pasting a larger account's 1.00 lot downward is how this $400 day disappears on the first COMEX wick.
