Read the $25K card in cash
Daily loss is $1,250, 5%. Maximum drawdown is $2,000, 8%, so the fail line is $23,000. Phase 1 is $2,000. Phase 2 is 4%, $1,000. Risk is $125. The day resets at 00:00 from day-start balance plus floating PnL. Two open $125 trades are $250, one fifth of the day. Five such pairs would finish it.
Start a Venasri account and refuse any lot imported from a $100K or $200K example. The percent can travel. The dollar ticket cannot. A 14% slider on this balance is a $3,500 floor, fail line $21,500. This page is the $2,000, 8% card.
Sixteen units, two jobs
Sixteen winners at $125 sum to $2,000, the Phase 1 target. Sixteen losers sum to the same $2,000 and breach the floor. The path is the same length in both directions. The day interrupts the losing path at ten units, $1,250, so you usually fail on the day before you fail on the floor. That is the point of the 0.50% unit.
The top of the lot band, 0.65%, is $162.50 here. Seven stops at that size are $1,137.50, inside the $1,250 day. The low end, 0.35%, is $87.50. The plan's $125 sits between them. Equity Guard at 4.25% of $25,000 is $1,062.50, under the $1,250 line, if you are copying the pass-plan percent onto this balance.
Account protection
Eight winners at $125 make the $1,000 Phase 2 target. Eight losers are $1,000, and the day still has $250 left. You can delete the second stage and have a legal day remaining. That is why size must not rise just because the target got smaller. One minimum trading day is the calendar, not the method.
Bot Control should treat NAS100 and gold as the same idea when they are the same macro bet. Two $125 tickets on correlated symbols are one $250 idea. The 13:30 UTC index whip and the COMEX gold wick are separate clocks that can both print inside one E8 day.
Rules that do not shrink with the account
Weekend holds are allowed. A Sunday gap counts toward $1,250. Wednesday triple-swap counts. Funded accounts restrict opens and closes during the five minutes before and after high-impact news. The first payout is after 8 days, then every 14 days, at 80% to 95%. Forty percent of a $2,000 cycle is $800. A single day above $800 can stall on-demand.
A 2x revenge lot is $250. Five of them are the day. 1.0% risk, the checkout mistake, is $250 on this account as well. The firm wants that cut toward 0.35%, $87.50, when the slider is a tight 6% or 8%. This plan already uses 0.50%, which is inside the band and well under 1.0%. Do not wander up to $250 because the account 'feels' larger than $10K.
