$1,000 risk is the daily limit wearing a lot size
2-step daily loss is $1,000. The static maximum is $2,000, so two full days at the limit end the account at $23,000 equity. Phase 1 is $2,000, the same cash as the lifetime hole, and Phase 2 is $1,250. If you risk $1,000 you can pass Phase 1 only by being right in a way that pays more than you lose, and you can fail the account by being wrong once. That is not a sample of your edge. It is a coin flip with a $499-style fee scaled to a smaller balance you should not invent a price for.
The fee published here is the $100,000 figure of $499. Do not invent a $25,000 fee. Do invent nothing. Trade the dollars you can read: $125 a idea. Eight losses are $1,000. You should be flat well before eight. Bot controls should reject any order whose cash risk exceeds $125 at the stop you actually placed.
About 0.14 lots if the stop is $900
At $1 per $1 on 1.00 BTC lot, a $900 stop and $125 of risk is about 0.14 lots. A $600 stop is about 0.21 lots. People who want to see 0.50 lots are risking $450 at a $900 stop, which is 1.8% and more than a third of the day. One loss hurts. Two losses are most of the day. The lot looked reasonable only because 0.14 looked too small to bother entering.
A $4,000 range on 0.25 lots is $1,000, the whole day, and 0.25 lots is what traders round toward. Weekend holds at that size are a decision to let Saturday pick the result. There is no Friday flatten rule to save you from your own rounding. Cut to a size whose full range still fits under the guard, or close it.
1-step on $25K trails at $1,500 and the day is $750
1-step daily loss is 3%, or $750. The trailing maximum is 6%, or $1,500. A $125 unit still fits, and six of them are $750, the entire day. The trail can rise if you mark a high, so a good Monday can shrink the $1,500 hole before Tuesday starts. The 2-step static $2,000 hole will not do that. If you are in 1-step, a winning open is not spare room. It may be room you already spent in the trail.
No best-day cap means a $2,000 green day is legal on 2-step if you can print it inside the risk unit. You probably cannot, not at $125, without a long run of winners. That is fine. Create a Venasri login and keep the session goal closer to a few units than to the whole Phase 1 figure. Impatience is a 4% strategy.
Flatten near $812 so the round number is not your exit
Equity Guard on 2-step belongs near $812, 3.25% of $25,000, not at the tidy $1,000. The tidy number is the breach. On 1-step use about $562 against the $750 day. If a leftover guard says $3,250, delete it. It is larger than the maximum loss of this account and it will never help you.
After a stop, the next order is still $125 or it is nothing. The round daily budget is not a purse you shake until it is empty. UTC midnight will refill a 4% day only if you did not empty it. Leave the refill for a planned session, not for a 02:00 attempt to make the $1,000 back in one SOL clip.
