The lifetime floor is one day plus $40
Option 2 on $5,000 is a 2.2 percent day and a 3 percent trailing maximum. In cash that is $110 today and $150 for the life of the book, so equity at $4,850 is the end. Phase 1 is 6 percent, or $300. There is no second profit target. The evaluation can be finished in one trading day under the minimum-day rule, and a single $300 winner is also larger than the entire maximum loss.
Option 1 on this balance replaces the $110 day with a live $150 trail. There is no extra room hiding under a different label. A 2-contract Nasdaq idea is absurd here: 10 points on two E-minis is $400, more than the whole account floor. Sign up on Venasri with the option name stored next to the $5,000 balance so the $110 card and the $150 trail are never mixed.
A $25 stop is 0.12 lots of FX or one micro Dow
Half a percent of $5,000 is $25. On a major, $10 a pip at 1.00 lot means a 20-pip stop wants 0.125 lots. Use 0.12 lots and the cash risk is $24. The next click, 0.13 lots, is $26 and has already left the unit. Gold at $10 per 0.10 move needs 0.05 lots on a 50-pip stop to risk $25 exactly. A 0.10 gold lot is $50, which is almost half of the entire day.
Futures are tighter than the FX translation. One micro Nasdaq is $2 a point, so a 60-point structural stop is $120, already past the $110 day, on a single micro. One micro Dow at $0.50 a point risks $25 over 50 points. That is the futures shape that actually fits. The bot desk should hard-cap this balance at $25 of stop cash and reject a micro Nasdaq whose stop is wider than about 12 points.
The $300 target is twice the amount you can lose
At a 2R payoff the $25 unit returns about $50. Six of those, with no losers, are the $300 Phase 1 target. You will have losers, and you can only afford one bad day. Three full $25 losses are $75, still inside the $110 day, with $35 left for spread. A fourth loss at the same size is $100. One widened gold fill can be the rest.
The Master payout rules, 100 percent of the first $10,000 and a 40 percent best day, are a later problem. They do not enlarge this evaluation. What ends the $5,000 book is the $150 floor. Trying to make the $300 target in one ticket means risking a loss the account cannot print and still survive.
Flatten near $72 and be flat by 3:59 PM CT
Equity Guard on Option 2 should cut the book near $72 of daily loss, which is 1.45 percent of $5,000, and leave a pocket before the official $110. On Option 1, treat a giveback of about $75 from the equity high as the flatten, because the whole trail is only $150. A guard copied from a $100,000 article, set at $1,450, will never see this account.
Be flat by 3:59 PM CT. The session mark is 4:59 PM CT. A $60 open winner held into that window is more than 1 percent of this book. If Option 1 is trailing, that open high is already moving the floor. Close it, then let the next session start from cash you have actually booked.
