What 0.65% buys you on a 2-step day
On a $100K 2-step account the daily loss is $5,000. Risk of 0.65% is $650. Seven losses are $4,550, leaving $450 before the line. An eighth loss crosses it. Risk of 0.35% is $350, and seven losses are $2,450, which is under half the day. The band is 0.35% to 0.65% so a normal run of stops approaches the day without finishing it on trade seven.
Start a Venasri account and type 0.65% as a ceiling, not as the default. Correlated trades share one idea. Two $650 gold tickets are $1,300, and four of those pairs finish a $5,000 day. The plan is per idea, not per click.
The 8% floor is the second ruler
Classic maximum loss at the tight setting is 8%, $8,000 on $100K. At $650, that floor takes twelve full stops because 12 times $650 is $7,800, and the thirteenth crosses $8,000. The day will usually die at stop eight, long before stop thirteen. A 14% slider is $14,000 and is a different purchase. Do not size a 14% account with an 8% habit, and do not size an 8% account as if $14,000 were underneath.
E8 One trails 6%, $6,000 on $100K, and its daily loss is 4%, $4,000. The 0.65% top of the band is too large for that day if you still want seven stops. Drop toward 0.35%, $350, where seven stops are $2,450 and the 4% line still has room. Equity Guard needs the daily percent from the contract, then the lot ceiling.
1.0% is the checkout mistake
The firm trap is leaving risk at 1.0%, $1,000 on $100K, after choosing a 6% or 8% slider. Five losses of $1,000 equal the entire 5% day. Eight equal the 8% floor. The lot band's job is to keep you off that $1,000 ticket. 0.50%, $500, sits inside the band: ten losses equal the $5,000 day, and sixteen equal the $8,000 floor.
Phase 1 is 8%, $8,000. Sixteen winners at $500 reach it. Ten winners at $500 reach $5,000, which is a strong week and still short of the target. Phase 2 is 4%, $4,000, eight winners at $500. Bot Control should refuse a new entry that would push open risk through 0.65% on the same idea.
Stops have to be on the ticket
Personal EAs and trade risk managers are permitted. HFT, latency arbitrage, and public signal copy-trading are prohibited. A lot plan without a hard stop is a wish. The 0.65% figure is the cash you lose if the stop fills, including spread. If the stop is missing, the 5% day is the stop.
Funded accounts restrict opens and closes during the five minutes before and after high-impact news. A stop that fills there still counts toward $5,000. Weekend holds are allowed, so Sunday gap slippage can turn a $650 plan into something larger. Size Friday's hold as if the gap is part of the risk, and keep the order-modification pace inside a normal anti-spam policy.
