The fee is small and the day is not
Option 2 daily loss is 2.2 percent, $2,200. The trailing maximum is 3 percent, $3,000, so equity at $97,000 ends the book. One full day at the limit leaves $800 of lifetime room. A second day at $2,200 is $4,400, already through the trail. Option 1 skips the $2,200 number and trails the $3,000 on live equity, which is the contract that dies on an open-profit giveback.
Phase 1 is 6 percent, $6,000, with no second profit target and a one-day minimum. Twelve 1R results at $500 equal the target. Six 2R results also equal it. A single $6,000 attempt is a loss larger than the floor. Open a Venasri account and treat $145 as the cost of the seat, not as a measure of how hard you should swing.
The $500 unit is 2.50 FX lots, 1.00 gold lot, or a few micros
A 20-pip stop on a major at $10 a pip needs 2.50 lots to risk $500. Gold at $10 per 0.10 move needs 1.00 lot on a 50-pip stop for the same $500. Those are the MT5 mirrors of the dollar plan. On the futures book, a micro Nasdaq is $2 a point. Four micros with a 60-point stop risk $480. Two micros with a 100-point stop risk $400. One E-mini with a 25-point stop is $500, and a 60-point stop on that E-mini is $1,200, more than two units.
Four full $500 losses are $2,000, inside the $2,200 day, with $200 left. The fifth loss ends the day. Two E-minis giving back 75 points are $3,000, the entire Option 1 trail, which is the hidden failure on this exact balance. Bot controls should default to micros unless the stop distance truly prices one E-mini at $500 or less.
The 100 percent tier is a payout rule, not the eval target
Master accounts pay 100 percent of the first $10,000 and 90 percent after that, on Wednesdays, after 10 active days, if the best day is inside 40 percent. Forty percent of $10,000 is $4,000. That test happens after you are funded. During the evaluation the binding profit number is $6,000, and the binding loss numbers are $2,200 and $3,000. Mixing them leads people to hold for a $10,000 eval day that the floor cannot survive if it reverses.
Option 1 is sold with no scaling. A pass on that contract does not queue a larger allocation. Option 2 is the shape where milestones can add capital, and only if the 2.2 percent day stays intact. Scaling a broken day is not a feature.
Flatten near $1,450 before the $2,200 print
Equity Guard on Option 2 should flatten near $1,450, 1.45 percent of $100,000, leaving $750 before the official day. On Option 1, flatten around a $1,500 giveback from the equity high so half of the $3,000 trail is still unused. Two E-minis moving 40 points off the high are $1,600. If that is the position, the guard has to be in contracts, not in a hope that the trail is generous.
Be flat by 3:59 PM CT. The session mark is 4:59 PM CT. An open winner of $2,000 is 2 percent of the account and, on Option 1, it lifts the trail with it. A full round trip back to the entry then spends most of the $3,000 allowance while the closed balance has barely changed. Take the partial before the flat deadline.
