After one red day, $80 of lifetime room remains
Option 2 daily loss is 2.2 percent, $220 on $10,000. The trailing maximum is 3 percent, $300, so equity at $9,700 is the end. The $80 gap between those two numbers is the entire margin of error after a day that went to the official line. Spread on the last ticket can eat it. Option 1 does not offer the $220 day at all. It trails the $300 live, tick by tick.
Phase 1 is $600 and there is no Phase 2 profit hurdle. The minimum is one trading day, which tempts a single shot at $600. That shot is twice the lifetime floor. If it loses, the account is over. Open a Venasri account and write $220, $300, and $600 on the same card before the first order.
0.25 lots is the budget, and one micro Nasdaq is not
The half-percent unit is $50. At $10 a pip on 1.00 lot, 0.25 lots with a 20-pip stop cost $50 exactly. Gold needs 0.10 lots on a 50-pip stop for the same $50. A nudge to 0.30 FX lots is $60. Four of those are $240, already past the day, before you count a widened fill.
One micro Nasdaq is $2 a point. A 60-point stop is $120, more than two risk units and more than half of the $220 day, on a contract people call a micro. A 25-point stop on that micro is $50 and sits inside the opening noise. One micro Dow at $0.50 a point fits a 100-point stop at exactly $50. Bot controls should reject any order whose cash stop is above $50, including a micro whose point value surprises you.
Twelve quiet $50 winners equal the target only if they pay 1R
A 1R result on the $50 unit is $50, so the $600 target is twelve clean winners. A 2R result is $100, so six clean winners also get there. Losers are part of the path, and the account can absorb four full $50 losses, $200, with $20 left in the day. The fifth loss ends the day. Two days that each lose $200 are $400, which is past the $300 floor even though neither day hit $220.
The later Master rules, Wednesday payouts and a 40 percent best day, do not change this evaluation math. They do explain why a single $600 pass-day is a poor habit to export. Forty percent of a future $10,000 payout block is $4,000, but you never meet that test if the $300 floor ends the eval first.
The flatten belongs at $145
Equity Guard on Option 2 should flatten near $145, which is 1.45 percent of $10,000, with $75 left before the official $220. On Option 1, a giveback of about $150 from the equity high is the useful flatten against a $300 trail. Importing a $1,450 level from a $100,000 plan means the guard never fires.
Be flat by 3:59 PM CT, ahead of the 4:59 PM CT session mark. A $200 open gold winner is 2 percent of this account. Held into the trail, it can lift the Option 1 floor and make a small giveback fatal. Partial it while the session is still legally open.
