The band in dollars against a $5,000 day
A 50 pip stop on 0.80 lots is 0.80 times 50 times $10, which is $400. A 70 pip stop on 1.45 lots is 1.45 times 70 times $10, which is $1,015. Both sit under $5,000. The top of the band is about a fifth of the day, not the whole day, which is why the cap exists. It is a ceiling against a wick, not a target lot for every setup.
The risk plan's 0.65% cap is $650 on this account. A 70 pip stop on 1.45 lots at $1,015 is above that cap. If you follow both pages, use the lot band only when the pip distance keeps cash at or under $650. A 50 pip stop at $500 of risk, the 0.50% pass ticket, is 1.00 lot, which sits inside 0.80 to 1.45.
The wick is hunting the day, not the $90,000 floor
The static floor is $90,000. A COMEX spike that runs through a missing stop is trying to spend $5,000, not $10,000. 1-Step uses the same 5% and the same static 10%, so the gold cap does not get larger because you skipped Phase 2. Phase 1 of the 2-Step wants $8,000. One gold winner inside the band does not finish that target, and one gold loser at $1,015 does not finish the day either.
You can create a Venasri login and save 1.45 lots as a hard maximum on the $100,000 gold profile. A $25,000 or $50,000 login does not inherit this band. Those balances need the same pip math off their own 0.50% cash.
Gold held through 00:00 CE(S)T
The day uses the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 CE(S)T. A gold float of $2,000 into that clock, on a $100,000 closed balance, sets the next 5% off $102,000, a $5,100 hole. Giving the float back spends most of the new day while the static floor is untouched. Partial the winner before midnight if you do not want Tuesday's line raised. Weekend holding is allowed, and a Sunday gap still counts as daily loss.
Put the 4.25% lock, $4,250 on a flat $100,000, on Equity Guard, and move the cash figure when the snapshot base moves. A guard aimed at yesterday's $100,000 is the wrong distance after a large gold float.
A gold bot under 2,000 messages
Bot Control should block a second gold ticket when open risk is already near $650 to $1,015, and it should go quiet for five minutes each side of a red-folder print once the account is funded. Phase 1 and Phase 2 can still hold a planned gold stop through news. The funded book should be flat.
