What is actually paid, and when
The published split is 85% standard. The cadence is bi-weekly, and the first cycle starts 14 days after the first funded trade. There is no minimum trading-day count on the evaluation, so you are not forced to pad the 14 days with dead tickets. Phase 1 is 8% and Phase 2 is 4%. On $100K that is $8,000, then $4,000. The $100K fee is $400. Passing both phases is the entry ticket to the split. It is not itself a withdrawal.
Capital increases are tied to milestones hit without a breach of the 4% day. The firm does not publish a public ladder such as "double every 10%" in the rule matrix used here, so this page will not invent one. What is concrete is the failure mode: a shield strike sequence can forfeit the funded account while the closed P&L is still positive. Ask support for the current milestone table, and trade as if the next payout requires a zero strike count.
Drop the ticket size once the split is live
Evaluation risk at 0.50% is $500 on $100K. That size can pass an $8,000 Phase 1 in a band of 10 to 16 trades if winners pay more than losers. On the funded book, the same $500 ticket is inside a 1% shield only when it is the only open risk. Two overlapping $500 losers are the shield. Funded growth is slower on purpose: 0.35% is $350, and a 70-pip gold stop at that risk is about 0.50 lots, well under the 1.45 lot band.
Equity Guard stays at 3.25%, $3,250, on the way to the first payout and after it. The daily base is the higher of balance or equity at 00:00, GMT+2 or GMT+3. A milestone week that carries a large float into midnight can make the next morning look like a breach even though the split math was fine at Friday's close. Partial the runner before the snapshot.
Unlimited, Elite, and Rapid do not scale on the same floor
Unlimited Guardian is the static 8% program. Elite Guardian is the static 10% program. Rapid Guardian trails 6% and is the 1-step. All three use a 4% day. A scale plan copied from Unlimited onto Rapid ignores a trail that walks up with peak equity. A plan copied onto Elite assumes an extra $2,000 of static room on $100K that Unlimited does not have. The payout split quoted here is the 85% standard. Confirm the program name on the dashboard before you raise size after a payout.
EAs and risk managers are allowed, inside standard MT5 anti-hyperactivity limits. A funded news window of about five minutes around red-folder events applies unless the news add-on is active. Weekend holds are allowed. Bot Control should keep the news pause and the post-loss pause in place after the account is funded. Scaling is not a reason to turn those pauses off.
The first 14 funded days are the real scale test
Day 1 of the funded account is when traders size up because the evaluation felt easy. Guardian Shield is the correction. A 1% flatten is a strike even if you finish green. Two or three strikes terminate the account, which means the bi-weekly date arrives with nothing to split. Trade the first 14 days at 0.35% to 0.50%, one idea at a time, with Manual Trade Guard attaching the stop on every MT5 fill.
Create the Venasri login before the funded password arrives, and load the 4% day, the program's max loss, and the 1% shield as three separate alarms. The 85% split is the reward for a book that never asks the shield to do the risk manager's job. If a milestone increase is offered later, cut the percent risk so the dollar stop stays inside the same 1% or 2% open-loss cap on the new balance.
