Half the headline balance, half the dollars
$2,500 is 5% of $50,000 and it is also 62.5% of the $4,000 Phase 1 target. One full red day leaves you at $47,500, needing $6,500 to reach $54,000, with $2,500 of room above $45,000. You have exactly one more full day in the lifetime budget, and using it ends the account. Eight losses at $250 are $2,000. Ten are the whole day.
The 0.35% to 0.65% band is $175 to $325. Seven stops at $325 are $2,275, which approaches $2,500 with $225 left. Seven at $175 are $1,225, under half the day. Pick the low half of the band if you want a longer streak than seven.
Phase 2 matches the day you just survived
Phase 2 wants $2,500. That is one official daily loss. The habit of sizing up after Phase 1 because the second target "looks smaller than $4,000" ignores that it is the same size as the thing that kills the account. Sixteen wins at $250 equal $4,000. You need that many, or fewer larger R trades, plus five minimum trading days. There is no best-day cap.
You can open a Venasri account and label this login $2,500 / $5,000 / $250 so a $100,000 preset cannot attach. The $495 fee is the $100,000 price, not this account's fee.
Gold at 0.50 lots for a $250 stop
At $10 per 0.10 move on 1.00 lot, 0.50 lots with a 50 pip stop risk $250. A 70 pip stop at the same cash is about 0.36 lots. The $100,000 gold cap starts at 0.80 lots, which is $400 at 50 pips, already above the 0.65% ticket of $325. Leave that cap on the account it was written for.
Set Equity Guard at 4.25%, $2,125 on a flat $50,000, against the official $2,500. A $700 float at midnight moves the next base to $50,700 and the next 5% is $2,535 under that equity, not a clean $2,500 under $50,000.
Messages and tokens at this size
Bot Control should refuse the $500 cash stop copied from $100,000 plans and should pause entries after a loss. The payout later is 80% every 14 days, or 7 with the add-on. A $2,500 breach ends that calendar.
