What the $500 salary and the 10% on-demand path actually pay
The funded split starts at 80% and can reach 100%. Qualified funded traders can also receive a $500 salary each month. Standard withdrawals are every 14 days. Closed profit of 10% opens an on-demand request, which is $10,000 on a $100,000 account and $20,000 on $200,000. Those are commercial terms. The 2-step daily loss stays 5% and the maximum stays a static 10% measured from the start.
New capital is a new percentage problem. A $500 risk unit on $100,000 is half of 1%. The same habit on a larger allocation under-risks the new book or, if you double the lot without doing the division, over-risks it. Open a Venasri account before the scale date so the dollar unit changes on the day the balance changes.
Three days of at least half a percent still gate every phase
Each phase wants three profitable days of at least half of 1%, and there is no maximum calendar on the challenge. On $100,000 that day is $500 of closed profit. One 1R winner on the half-percent unit books the minimum day. A scratch does not. Two huge sessions cannot replace the third day, and a single afternoon that makes the whole 10% Phase 1 target still leaves the day-count unfinished.
Phase 2 then asks for 5%, or $5,000 on $100,000, with the same three-day count. The 1-step product is a different loss box: 4% on the day and a trailing 6% maximum. A scale plan copied from the static 10% 2-step onto that trailing 6% runs out of air while the notes still say the floor is far away.
The scale dies at 60 seconds without a stop, or at 2,000 messages
Every CTI ticket needs a stop. A manual MT5 fill has 60 seconds to get one. Past that mark the breach can land while the trade is green. Platforms are MT5 and Match-Trader. Self-owned Expert Advisors and risk tools are permitted. The ceiling is 2,000 server requests a day, so a trail that rewrites on every tick can fail a review without ever printing the 5% line.
Funded accounts also keep a 2-minute window around high-impact news. A stop that slips through that window still debits the day. Weekend and overnight holds are permitted, which means Friday into Monday is a long version of the 00:00 snapshot. Keep the modification pace quiet in bot controls so the message count stays boring.
Flatten near $4,250 on $100,000 before you ask for a larger book
Equity Guard should flatten a 2-step book near $4,250 of daily loss on $100,000, leaving $750 before the official $5,000 print. The 1-step day is 4%, so the same balance wants a flatten near $3,250. Using the 2-step number on the 1-step product means the flatten arrives after the firm has already ended the account.
The anchor is the higher of balance or equity at 00:00. A runner left live through that clock can raise the next day breach line. Partial it if you want the new session to start from cash you have booked. Scaling favors the trader who can repeat a small deficit. The $500 salary does not sponsor a larger one.
