Correlation is the hidden extra lot
2-step daily loss is $8,000. The static maximum is $16,000, so $184,000 equity ends it. Phase 1 is $16,000 and Phase 2 is $10,000. No minimum day and no best-day cap. The unit is $1,000. At a $900 stop and $1 per $1 per BTC lot, that is about 1.11 lots. A second 1.11 lot in ETH because the chart rhymes is another $1,000 on the same dollar impulse. Four such paired losses are $8,000. You never placed an obviously insane order. You placed the same order twice, twice.
Bot controls should sum BTC, ETH, and SOL risk into one bucket. If the bucket is already $1,000, the next order is a reduce or a wait, not an add. The 24/7 book will give you another session. It will not give you a second daily line inside this one.
A normal range on a round lot is half the day or all of it
A $4,000 Bitcoin range on 1.11 lots is about $4,440, a bit over half of the $8,000 day. On 2.00 lots it is $8,000 exactly, the whole day, and 2.00 lots is what people round to because 1.11 looks fussy. The fuss is the plan. Weekend ranges sit inside the $1,800 to $4,200 band often enough that a round lot held from Friday is a coin flip on the daily line. There is still no required Friday flatten.
1-step on $200,000 is a $6,000 day and a $12,000 trail. The $1,000 unit is larger relative to that day: eight losses are already over the line. If the invoice is 1-step, cut the unit toward $700 or below and do not import the 2-step 1.11 lot as a birthright. The trail can also rise. A static-floor habit on a trailing product is how a $200,000 login dies on a pullback.
This size feels funded before it is funded
Daily USDC and an 80% to 90% split are real after you pass, and they are easy to spend in your head before you pass. A $16,000 Phase 1 target at 90% is a daydream, not a position size. The evaluation fee reference on $100,000 is $499. This balance is larger. Do not invent its fee, and do not trade as if the fee were the risk. The risk is $8,000 today.
News is unrestricted. A FOMC slip on 2.00 lots is twice the slip on the $100,000 reference card if you kept the round lot. Sign up on Venasri and set a headline size that is half the calm size. The firm will let you trade the print at full size. That is not a research conclusion. It is a permission you can decline.
Flatten near $6,500 and keep the second clip off
Equity Guard at 3.25% of $200,000 is about $6,500, leaving $1,500 before the official $8,000. That pocket is one slipped correlated add, which is why the add should never have been sent. On 1-step flatten near $4,500 against the $6,000 day. If the guard fires at 01:00 UTC on Sunday, the day is over. Do not average the SOL position because the wick looks complete.
Rebuild the dollars if a scale or a payout changes the balance. $6,500 is not holy. It is 3.25% of this day-start figure. The static $16,000 hole remains the slow-bleed backstop on 2-step. Most $200,000 failures will not get there. They will spend the day on two clips that were the same bet and a weekend they did not need to hold.
