Three days is the evaluation floor
You cannot finish on a single ticket and call the minimum met. Phase 1 on Double Helix is 10%, $10,000 on $100,000, and Phase 2 is 5%, $5,000. Spread that across at least 3 days. Open a Venasri account and count days with a real fill, not a login.
The $100,000 fee is $449. Daily loss is still $5,000 on Double Helix and $4,000 on Single Helix while you collect those days. The 3-day rule does not widen either line. It only refuses a one-session pass.
Forty percent is a Rapid rule
If the target you are measuring is $10,000, 40% is $4,000. A day of $4,200 is 42% and breaks the cap. A day of $3,600 is 36% and fits. Double Helix and Single Helix do not carry this sentence. Moving a helix strategy onto Rapid without cutting the best day is how a legal helix winner becomes a failed Rapid cycle.
Equity Guard will not see the 40% cap unless you tell it the cycle profit and the best day. Bot Control should stop new trades once today's closed gain crosses about 35% of the Rapid target, so the last runner cannot tick the account to 42%.
Fourteen days, or seven with the add-on
The standard payout waits 14 days. The rapid payout add-on makes it 7. The split is 80% until you buy the 90% add-on. On $5,000 of closed funded profit, 80% is $4,000 and 90% is $4,500 before costs on that cycle. Neither add-on deletes the 3-day minimum you already served in the exam, and neither deletes the funded 5-minute news window.
The daily anchor remains the higher of balance or equity at 00:00. A payout week that holds a large float into midnight rebases the next day. You can be inside the 40% cap, inside the 14-day clock, and still fail Tuesday because Monday's float raised the floor.
What the helix does not take away
Double Helix has no 40% best-day cap in the rules used here. A $6,000 day on the way to $10,000 is 60% of the target and still counts, provided you also trade the other days the minimum requires and you never touch $5,000 down. Single Helix is the 4% day and the 6% maximum, static or trailing. Do not give it Rapid's cap or Double Helix's $10,000 floor.
Personal EAs are allowed on MT5. A third-party pass bot is not, including one sold as a way to satisfy the 3 days. The cap is 2,000 requests a day. Weekend holding is permitted on both helixes. The payout is 80% or 90% of closed profit after 14 days or 7, not of the largest day you almost had.
