Ten winners at 2R, if you keep them
A 2R result on $500 is $1,000. Ten of those are the Phase 1 target. Partials and losses are why the working range is 10 to 16 trades, not a single news candle. Phase 2 is 5%, $5,000, on the 2-step. Experienced does not add that second target and does add a 6% trail. Pick the program before you count the trades. The count is similar. The floor under the count is not.
Eight full $500 losses reach the $4,000 day. Stop the session at $3,250 even if you "only need one more." Manual Trade Guard puts the hard stop on the MT5 fill where the tier requires it. A pass built on naked tickets is a pass the rule can void. Equity Guard is the daily number. The stop is the per-trade number.
Do not give the $10,000 back
On Prestige, Phase 1 and the maximum are twins. A run to $110,000 that returns to $90,000 is a fail with a beautiful high-water mark. Scale out. On Experienced, a $4,000 open profit can lift a $6,000 trail enough that a normal pullback ends the account while you are still short of $10,000 closed. The no-consistency rule will not save that pullback. There is no best-day cap to blame and no best-day cap to hide behind.
Zero minimum days means you can wait for the 13:30 UTC index candle to close, or skip a dead gold session. Bot Control should enforce that wait and a pause after a loss. The request ceiling is 2,000 a day. Passing by clicking is how you arrive at the ceiling and the daily line in the same afternoon.
The funded week starts at the same size
The 80% split, scaling toward 90% and 100%, can be requested every 7 days from day 7, or from day 0 on selected programs. The mistake is raising the lot on day 1 of the funded account because the evaluation felt easy. Stay at $500. Prestige may hold the weekend. Trailing programs may not. A Friday add "to finish the payout" is how a 7-day clock dies on day 6.
News is allowed in the evaluation. Recheck it when funded. A stop on NFP counts either way. The $499 fee is smaller than one 1.00 lot gold mistake with a missing stop. Rehearse the attach before you need the $10,000. The 4% day does not care that you were up on the week.
A card you can repeat
Ticket $500. Day stop $3,250. Prestige floor awareness at $10,000. Experienced trail awareness from $6,000. One symbol. Hard stop on. Partial before 00:00 if the float is large. Flat on Friday if the program restricts the hold. That card passes Phase 1 without needing a hero day, and it still works when there is no consistency score pushing you to manufacture extra trades.
Create a free Venasri account and store the card before the fee is paid. Ten clean winners beat one 2.00 lot gold idea. The second phase, if you bought Prestige, is another $5,000 at the same size, not a victory lap. The trail, if you bought Experienced, is the thing you watch after every green push.
