Prestige stays put, the trail walks
Prestige's maximum is static from the initial balance. On $100K the floor is $90,000 and it does not rise because you had a good morning. Experienced and Master start with 6% of room, $6,000, and that room follows the account as a trail. The primary way traders fail those two is adding size after a winner, then discovering the trail has less air than the $4,000 day they memorized. Advanced is also named as a 2-step. The published static 10% figure belongs to Prestige. Do not paste it onto a trailing login.
Phase 1 is 10%, $10,000, and Phase 2 is 5%, $5,000. On Prestige the Phase 1 target and the maximum loss are the same $10,000. Giving the entire target back ties the floor. There is no minimum trading-day count, so you can bank the $10,000 without padding dead sessions. The $100K fee is $499. Equity Guard should flatten the day at 3.25%, $3,250, on every program.
The 4% day still resets at 00:00
Daily loss uses day-start balance and equity, reset at 00:00 server time. A large green float held into that print raises the base the next 4% is cut from. Prestige allows weekend holds, so Friday night is a real snapshot. Selected trailing programs restrict the hold. If you are on Experienced or Master, do not copy a Prestige swing into a trail that may also forbid the overnight.
A stop filled during CPI, NFP, or FOMC still counts toward $4,000 even when the evaluation permits the news trade. The funded tier may use a tighter window. Check that tier before you treat evaluation permission as permanent. Manual Trade Guard attaches the hard stop the program can require, so the news wick meets your price instead of an empty ticket.
Lots that fit a static floor and a trail
A 0.50% ticket on $100K is $500. Eight full losses reach the $4,000 day. The Prestige floor can absorb that sequence twice before $10,000 is gone, if they are spread out and you stop for the day at $3,250. The Experienced trail starts with only $6,000, and open profit spends it. Two $500 gold ideas open together are fine on the day and rude to a trail that has already moved up $2,000.
Where the tier requires a hard stop, a naked 1.00 lot gold ticket is a rule problem and a $500 planned loss only if the 50-pip stop is actually there. Bot Control should partial winners before 00:00 on Prestige swings and should refuse a second add after a loss. The ceiling of 2,000 order requests a day is why the stop is stepped, not rewritten on every tick.
Name the program before you set the floor
Write two cards. Prestige: day $4,000, static floor $90,000, flatten $3,250, weekend allowed, Phase 1 $10,000. Experienced or Master: day $4,000, trail starting at $6,000, flatten $3,250, weekend restricted on the programs that say so. The 80% split can scale toward 90% and 100%. Withdrawals can run every 7 days from day 7, or from day 0 on selected programs. None of that repairs a trail you sized as if it were static.
Open a free Venasri account and store the program name in the profile title. EAs are allowed when the required hard stop is on the position. An EA that grids into a trailing book is how a static-floor strategy dies on Experienced. The 7-day payout is the reward for knowing which floor you bought.
