The spare change under the day is $62.50
3.25% of $25,000 is $812.50. People round it to $813 and then forget the cents that were the entire cushion. Six times $125 is $750. The gap is $62.50, which is half a unit. One gold slip of 25 pips on the 0.25 lot position is $62.50 exactly, because 0.25 lots pay $2.50 per pip. The cushion and the slip are the same number.
The maximum is $2,500. The monthly VaR target is $1,625, two days. Phase 1 is $1,250, which is less than one bad month of VaR and more than one day. Create a Venasri login with $125 as the unit and $62.50 as a reminder that this day has no spare trade.
0.25 gold is exact and 0.62 FX is the honest click
Gold at 0.25 lots and 50 pips is $125. Stretch the stop to 70 pips and the same lot is $175, which means four losses are $700 and the fifth is $875, through the day. FX at 0.62 lots and 20 pips is about $124. The pretty 0.50 lot is $100, a quieter plan. The pretty 0.70 lot is $140. Neither is $125.
Correlated FX plus gold is how $125 becomes $250 without a dramatic lot. EURUSD and XAUUSD can both be a dollar trade. Bot controls should count them once. Two full units are $250, and three of those pairs are $750, the same place six single losses would have landed.
Ten days at $125 is a record, not a sprint
Phase 2 asks for $0 more profit. The 10-day minimum still applies. Ten 1R winners are $1,250, the Phase 1 target, if they are not interrupted. A single day cannot house that target safely, because $1,250 is larger than the $812.50 reference. You would be risking the day to print the goal in one session.
A 10% hole is $2,500 of damage to the D-Score and the seed weight, with the login still open. The 15% investor fee, if capital follows, depends on that weight. Stable 0.25 gold lots across the 10 days are worth more than one 0.75 lot winner that makes the target feel close.
Flatten near $625, five units
Equity Guard at 2.50% is $625, five times $125. That leaves $187.50 before the official $812.50, enough for one slip and not enough for two extra ideas. Importing a $2,500 guard from the maximum, or from a $100,000 article, lets this day finish before the software notices.
The engine does not wait for midnight. A 0.25 lot gold runner held into CPI can spend the $62.50 cushion in one wick and then keep going. Flat before the print unless the $125 unit was sized for the slip you are willing to publish on the record.
