$250 is the whole day
The 2-Step daily test is 5%, reset at 00:00 CE(S)T from the day-start balance plus floating profit and loss. On this balance that is $250. If you start a free Venasri account, treat $250 as a hard cash stop for the Prague day, not as a rough guide. The 1-Step daily test is 3%, which is $150 here, and that path's 10% maximum trails at the end of the day.
Ten losses at $25 use the full $250. A single trade risked at $100 has already spent 40% of the day. The 0.35% to 0.65% band used on a $100,000 account would be $17.50 to $32.50 here if you scale the percentage. The published unit for this plan is the $25, or 0.50%, figure.
Phase 1 and the lifetime floor are the same $500
Maximum loss on the 2-Step path is a static 10% from the initial balance, $500. Phase 1 asks for the same $500. You are trying to make a sum equal to everything the account is allowed to lose in total. Phase 2 is 5%, or $250, which is exactly one full daily budget.
Four minimum trading days still apply. They do not shrink because the account is small. There is no hard best-day formula, but one ticket that makes most of the $500 can be reviewed. Equity Guard belongs under the $250 line. The 4.25% lock used on a $100,000 pass plan is $212.50 if you apply that same percentage here, and it is only appropriate on the 5% product.
Do not paste $100,000 gold lots onto $5,000
The gold cap of 0.80 to 1.45 standard lots is stated for a $100,000 challenge. It is not a $5,000 lot size. At $25 of risk, the lot has to come from the stop distance on your platform. A COMEX wick that is harmless on a large account can erase $250 here.
Standard funded accounts still flatten before the weekend and still restrict the 2-minute window on each side of red-folder news. Swing still caps leverage at 1:30 and allows the hold. Those clauses do not scale with balance. Wednesday triple-swap and the Sunday gap still count inside the $250.
The request ceiling is not smaller either
2,000 order and modification requests a day is the same ceiling as on a $100,000 login, across MT5, MT4, cTrader, and DXtrade. A small account does not get a small cap, and it does not get a free pass for tick trailing. Open MT5 bot control and keep edits few. The published $540 fee is the $100,000 price, not the price of this $5,000 evaluation.
Leaving a winner open through Prague midnight rebases the next $250 allowance on the closed balance. On an account this size, a modest giveback is the whole next day. Close the float or accept that tomorrow already started.
