Fifteen modest units beat one ticket that tries to be the pass
The target is 6%, or $6,000, and there is no second target. At $400, which is 0.40%, fifteen winning R with nothing given back equal the target. You will have losers, so the real count is higher. That is still a better shape than one $6,000 day. The evaluation may not block that day. The Master payout later wants the best day at or under 40% and wants 10 active days before a Wednesday. A single financed Monday does not become a check.
Keep any one session well under $2,400 if you hope the profit window can stay near $6,000 and still pass a 40% look. The bot desk should stop adding risk once the session is large relative to the window, even though the one-day minimum would let you continue.
Pass Option 2 by surviving the day, and Option 1 by refusing the extra lots
Option 2 gives you an end-of-day trail at 4:59 PM CT and a hard day at $2,200. A dip that recovers, and never touches $2,200, can still be a living account at the mark. You must be flat by 3:59 PM CT, an hour before that mark. Option 1 scores the dip while it is open. The higher contract allowance is the bait. One NQ at 20 points is $400, the unit. Four NQ at 40 points is $3,200, the trail.
Choose Option 2 if your stop needs room. Choose Option 1 only if the contract count stays near the $400 to $500 unit. Choosing Option 1 and then using the extra size is the failure this firm is known for among people who read the contract limit and skip the trail.
Loss ceiling and profit ceiling are both part of passing
Equity Guard at $1,450 on Option 2 ends a bad morning with $750 left under $2,200. On Option 1, the ceiling is giveback from the high toward $3,000. The profit ceiling matters because a $4,100 day is 41% of a $10,000 window, the first payout bucket that is paid at 100%. You can pass the evaluation and still wait on Wednesday because one day was too much of the profit.
Five quiet days that were not required can still be the thing that makes the payout legal. The minimum of one day is a floor, not a suggestion that faster is cleaner.
The morning you pass, delete the bracket and keep the flatten
Evaluation news is allowed. Master accounts restrict bracket scalps into Tier-1 releases. If the pass used a CPI bracket, remove it before the next session. The trail you bought does not convert from Option 1 to Option 2 because you succeeded. Intraday remains intraday. The 3:59 PM CT flatten remains daily, including the Friday that would have been your victory lap.
Start a Venasri account before the attempt, with the $400 unit and the option name stored. The listed fee at $100,000 is $145. It is not a loss you need to earn back in the first hour, and earning it back in the first hour is how the trail gets spent.
