1.25 FX lots and half a gold lot are the same $250
Half of 1% on $50,000 is $250. A 20-pip stop on a major at $10 per pip wants 1.25 lots. A 50-pip gold stop wants 0.50 lots, because 0.50 times 50 times $10 is $250. A 50-point index CFD at $1 per point wants 5.00 lots. All three are the unit. None of them is a warm-up size you can double because the account looks medium.
Doubling the FX ticket to 2.50 lots makes the stop $500. Five of those are the whole day. Bot controls should refuse a ticket whose cash risk prints above $250, including a second metal idea that is really the same dollar view.
A qualifying day is $250, the same cash as one winner
Phase 1 is $5,000 and Phase 2 is $2,500. Each phase wants three profitable days of at least half of 1%, which is $250 here. One 1R winner books the day. A $180 scratch does not. There is no challenge calendar, so the pressure is the day count and the floor, not a countdown. The on-demand payout mark is 10% closed profit, also $5,000, the same cash as the maximum.
The 1-step on this balance is a $2,000 day and a $3,000 trailing maximum. The $2,500 figure belongs to the 2-step only. Sign up on Venasri with the product written beside $50,000 so the two days cannot be mixed on a Monday open.
A $1,500 runner is 3% and it will reprice midnight
The reset uses the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 server time. A $1,500 open gain is 3% of this account. If the snapshot takes it, a full giveback spends $1,500 of the next $2,500 day before a new order. Weekend holding is permitted, so a Friday runner is the same decision with Sunday attached. Partial it if the runner is large next to $2,500.
Funded accounts pick up a 2-minute block around high-impact news. A stop that slips through that window still debits the day. Every fill still needs its stop inside 60 seconds. A green gold ticket without that stop is a breach even when the $2,500 line is nowhere close.
Flatten near $2,125 and leave the official line unused
Equity Guard on the 2-step belongs near $2,125 of daily loss, $375 inside the $2,500 print. The 1-step belongs near $1,625 against its $2,000 day. A guard set at $4,250 is a $100,000 number and will not save this book. A guard set at the official $2,500 is the firm exit, which is too late to be yours.
Index tickets at 5.00 lots look huge on a $50,000 screen and still risk only $250 if the stop is 50 points. Stretch the stop to 80 points without cutting the lot and the risk becomes $400. Write the points first. The lot is the output, not the identity of the trade.
