Two bad days and the $400 floor is gone
The 2-step daily loss is $200. The static maximum is $400, so equity at $4,600 ends the account. Phase 1 is 8%, or $400. Phase 2 is 5%, or $250. There is no minimum trading day, which on this size is dangerous: you can try to make the entire $400 target in an afternoon, and the afternoon only has to go $200 the wrong way. The day resets at 00:00 UTC from day-start balance, including Saturday.
The 1-step path is harsher. Daily loss is 3%, or $150. The trailing maximum is 6%, or $300. A guard copied from the 2-step $200 figure is already past the 1-step official day. Open a Venasri account and name the product in the profile before you pick a lot. The $5,000 label is not the contract.
0.10 lots is the idea, not a warm-up
Risk $25. With a $250 Bitcoin stop and a $1 per $1 specification, the lot is 0.10. A $600 stop, which is a more realistic intraday distance, is about 0.04 lots. Traders refuse the 0.04 because it looks like a demo glitch. It is the math. A $2,000 adverse move on the 0.10 lot they preferred is $200, the entire day, and Bitcoin daily ranges of $1,800 to $4,200 are normal, not historic.
Gold, if you trade it here, is the same cash problem. A 50-pip stop at 0.05 lots is $25. Anything larger is a different plan. Bot controls should reject a BTC order whose stop-cash is above $25, and should reject it faster on Friday evening when you are about to leave the position overnight.
The missing consistency rule is not a green light
There is no best-day cap, so a $400 green day is legal if you can produce it without dying on the path. The path is the issue. The same size that makes $400 in a day can lose $200 in an hour. USDC payouts and an 80% to 90% split are funded-stage rewards. They do not apply to a $5,000 evaluation you have already breached. Skip the hero day. Take the $25 unit and let Phase 1 be a stack of small outcomes.
News is allowed. On this balance a slipped stop is a larger percent than the same slip on $100,000. Flat through CPI is a rational personal rule even though Breakout does not require it. The $400 static floor will not forgive a headline you sized for a $100,000 video.
Flatten near $162 and do not watch from memory
Equity Guard on the 2-step book should sit near $162, which is 3.25% of $5,000, leaving a little pocket before $200. On 1-step sit near $112 against the $150 day. A $3,250 threshold left over from a $100,000 article will never fire. The account will be gone while the guard still thinks there is room.
If you cannot watch Saturday, do not hold 0.10 BTC lots through it. A normal range is larger than the day. Close the position or cut it until a multi-thousand-dollar move is still inside $162. The firm allows the hold. This balance cannot afford the firm maximum use of that permission.
