Count the stops against 4%, not against a slogan
0.35% is $350. Eleven of those are $3,850, still inside $4,000, and the twelfth crosses. 0.50% is $500, and the eighth stop equals the day. 0.65% is $650. Six are $3,900 and the seventh is $4,550. Use 0.35% to 0.50% if you want a run of losses to be survivable. The Experienced trail starts at $6,000, so the day usually binds first, until open profit has lifted the trail and a smaller loss finishes it.
EURUSD at $10 a pip and a 20-pip stop is 2.50 lots for $500. Gold at $10 per 0.10 and a 50-pip stop is 1.00 lot. A 70-pip gold stop at 1.00 lot is $700, which is a 0.70% idea, closer to the size that fails on the sixth or seventh hit. Manual Trade Guard should attach the 50-pip version on MT5 unless you cut the lot toward 0.70. Equity Guard flattens at $3,250.
Two charts are one risk number
A 2.50 lot EURUSD idea and a 1.00 lot gold idea are $1,000 if both stop. That is a quarter of the day and fine once. It is half of a $2,000 trail that has already been used up by open profit on Experienced. Prestige's static $10,000 can absorb more sequential damage and still hates two naked tickets. Where a hard stop is required, both tickets need one at the fill.
NAS100, if it pays $1 per point, takes 6.25 lots at an 80-point stop to risk $500, or 5.00 lots at 100 points. Round down. Do not run US30 at the same size into 13:30 UTC. Bot Control should allow one symbol after a loss. The 2,000 request ceiling is not a reason to machine-gun the lot size up and down.
Phase 1 is twenty $500 winners at 1R
The $10,000 Phase 1 target is ten full 2R winners at $500, or twenty 1R winners. Plan 10 to 16 trades and expect partials to stretch that. There is no minimum day count and no best-day cap on these evaluations, so you are not forced to pad, and you are not punished for a $1,500 day. You are finished if you give the whole $10,000 back on Prestige, because that is also the maximum.
Phase 2 is $5,000. The split starts at 80% and can scale toward 90% and 100%, every 7 days from day 7 or from day 0 on selected programs. None of those payouts change the $500 ticket. Scaling the lot because a payout is close is how day 6 spends the 4% line. The $499 fee is smaller than two $500 mistakes.
Write 2.50 and 1.00, then stop editing
Defaults on $100K: 2.50 lots FX at 20 pips, 1.00 lot gold at 50 pips, about 6 lots of a $1-per-point index at 80 points, day flatten $3,250. If the structure needs 70 pips on gold, use about 0.70 lots so the dollars stay near $500. An EA that uses a fixed 1.45 lots with a floating stop will not stay inside this card.
