The first target is $5,000, built in small pieces
Phase 1 is 5% of the reference, $5,000 on $100,000. At 0.50% risk the unit is $500. A 1R winner pays about $500, so ten clean winners match the target exactly. A 2R winner pays about $1,000, so the target can arrive in fewer winning tickets if the losers have not taken a large share. Sixteen trades is the upper planning count when the hit rate is ordinary.
Phase 2 lists 0% of additional profit. Passing the dollars is the first gate. Staying inside a recognizable risk shape is the rest. Sign up on Venasri before the evaluation so the $500 unit is a saved setting, not a memory.
Ten days means ten dates, not ten tickets
The minimum trading-day count is 10. Five trades on Monday and five on Tuesday are ten trades and two days. The record is short. Spread the attempts so the attributes have a sample: experience, return profile, and Risk Stability all need more than a weekend. A sensible map is one planned idea on each of ten days, with a few spare attempts inside the 16-trade budget.
The daily reference is $3,250. Six full $500 losses are $3,000, still inside it, and the seventh is $3,500, through it. You do not need six losses in one date to fail the spirit of the month. The 6.5% VaR target is $6,500. Two sloppy days can spend it.
The pass that gets seed is the pass with a stable lot
Darwinex Zero can keep the account open through a drawdown and still reduce the capital that follows you. A passed-looking 5% that came from a lot jump, for example 0.20 lots most days and 3.00 lots once, damages Risk Stability and Capacity. The fee you eventually want is 15% of investor profit above the high-water mark. That fee needs investors.
Keep the lot matched to the stop so cash risk stays near $500. On a 20-pip FX stop that is 2.50 lots. On a 50-pip gold stop that is 1.00 lot. Bot controls should reject the order that breaks the unit, including the order you want because the target is close.
Stop the day at $2,500 and come back tomorrow
Equity Guard at $2,500 ends the session on the fifth full $500 loss. That feels strict when the firm reference is $3,250. It is how the sixth and seventh losses, the ones that threaten both the day and the monthly VaR target, never get placed. Tomorrow still counts toward the 10 days if you trade it inside the unit.
News is allowed, and a slipped gold stop can turn a $500 idea into something much larger. If you do not have a news edge, be flat for the print. The account is unlikely to be deleted for a bad day. The seed can still shrink. Passing here means a record someone can allocate to, not a screenshot of $5,000.
