Seven stops, two ends of the band
At the low end, 0.35% of $100,000 is $350. Seven full losses are $2,450, which is under half of the $5,000 day. At the high end, 0.65% is $650. Seven full losses are $4,550, which approaches $5,000 and leaves $450. An eighth loss at $650 is $5,200 and is already through the day. The phrase "seven stops" is true as an approach at the top of the band, not as spare room for an eighth idea.
Half a percent sits inside the band: $500. Ten such losses equal the $5,000 day exactly. That is the ticket the pass plan uses, 10 to 16 trades at 0.50%, aimed at the $8,000 Phase 1 target. It is a tighter choice than $650 if you want more than seven mistakes.
Gold lots that match $350 to $650
At $10 per 0.10 price move on 1.00 lot, a 50 pip gold stop on 1.00 lot is $500. That is the middle of the band. $350 is 0.70 lots at 50 pips. $650 is 1.30 lots at 50 pips. The strategy cap of 0.80 to 1.45 lots with a 50 to 70 pip stop runs from $400 up to $1,015. The top of that cap, $1,015, is above 0.65% and should not be your default ticket if you are following this risk plan.
A 70 pip stop on 0.80 lots is $560, still inside the band. A 70 pip stop on 1.45 lots is $1,015, which is 1.015% and fails the 0.65% cap. You can open a Venasri account and store $350, $500, and $650 as three cash stops so the lot is the output, not the input.
Size for $5,000, not for $10,000
The static 10% floor is $90,000. Two full official days of $5,000 land on it. If you size as though $10,000 were today's budget, one morning can do what the firm spread across two days. The daily anchor is the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 CE(S)T, so a green float can make today's 5% a larger cash hole than $5,000. Recalculate $350 to $650 off the snapshot base if the base moved.
The Equity Guard percent for this firm is 4.25%, $4,250 on a flat $100,000 start. That is $750 inside the official line, about one $650 stop plus a little. Put the lock on Equity Guard before the session, not after the seventh loser.
Two tickets can leave the band without looking large
Two $500 gold ideas open together are $1,000 of risk, which is outside 0.65% even though each ticket looked legal. Trade2Earn tokens on every closed lot make that second ticket feel productive. The 5% day does not pay tokens. It ends the account. The 2,000 message cap is a separate limit if you then edit both stops on every tick.
Bot Control should refuse a second entry when open cash risk is already at the top of the band. NAS100 and US30 still need their 60 to 100 point stops converted into dollars before they count as a $350 or $650 idea. Points are not the firm's unit.
