Two gold lots are correct and one gold lot is a half position
Half of 1% on $200,000 is $1,000. A 50-pip gold stop at 2.00 lots is $1,000. A 20-pip FX stop wants 5.00 lots. A 50-point index CFD at $1 per point wants 20.00 lots. The FX and index numbers look aggressive because people remember the $100,000 ladder. They are the same half percent. The dangerous copy is the other way: a 2.00 lot gold stop that was already 1% on $100,000 becomes $1,000 here only if the stop stays 50 pips. At 80 pips it is $1,600.
Bot controls should recompute from $200,000 on the morning the allocation changes, and should reject a second correlated metal ticket that quietly adds another $1,000.
Phase 1 is $20,000, and so is the on-demand mark
Phase 1 is $20,000. Phase 2 is $10,000. The static maximum is $20,000, so the profit you need in the first phase is the same cash the account is allowed to lose over its life. Three profitable days of at least half of 1% are required in each phase. Here that day is $1,000, one full winner at the unit. The on-demand path opens at 10% closed profit, which is also $20,000, otherwise the cycle is 14 days.
The 1-step day is 4%, or $8,000, and the trailing maximum is 6%, or $12,000. A $10,000 mental model is already $2,000 through the 1-step day. Create a Venasri login and keep Instant Funding Pro, the 1-step, and the 2-step as separate cards even when the balance label matches.
A $4,000 float is 2% and midnight will see it
Daily loss uses the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 server time. A $4,000 open gain is 2% of this book. It feels small because the day is $10,000. If the snapshot marks it and the trade gives it back, you have spent $4,000 of the new day with no fresh decision. Weekend and overnight holds are permitted, which makes Friday the long version of the same choice.
Every fill still needs a stop within 60 seconds, and the account still lives under 2,000 server requests a day. A funded 2-minute news window does not freeze a stop that slips. The split can run from 80% toward 100%, and qualified funded traders can add a $500 monthly salary. Neither term widens today $10,000 line.
Flatten near $8,500 before the $10,000 print
Equity Guard on the 2-step should flatten near $8,500 of daily loss, leaving $1,500 before the official line. The 1-step should flatten near $6,500 against the $8,000 day. Importing the $4,250 level from a $100,000 plan means the guard is late by thousands of dollars. Importing the raw $10,000 level means you are using the firm print as your exit.
Twenty index lots on a 50-point stop is the $1,000 unit and it will look absurd if you are used to a two-lot index scalp. Cut the lot when you widen the stop. The screen size is not permission. Two bad days at the full $10,000 line end the account, because the lifetime floor is $20,000.
