Ten to sixteen trades for $8,000
Phase 1 on the 2-Step is 8%, $8,000 on $100,000. At 0.50% risk the loss unit is $500. The plan spreads the target across 10 to 16 trades rather than one or two oversized sessions. Phase 2 is another 5%, $5,000. Five minimum trading days apply, so the trades have to be spread across at least that many sessions. Equity Guard locks at 4.25% daily loss, in front of the firm's 5% line.
1-Step is a different pass. Daily loss is 3% and the maximum is 6%. Do not reuse the 4.25% guard, which sits just under a 5% day, on a product whose day is 3%. The $100,000 fee is $549. The guard does not refund it.
4.25% is the guard, 5% is the firm
The firm ends a 2-Step day at 5%. The pass plan flattens at 4.25% so the official print is not the first time you notice. On $100,000 the official day is $5,000. The guard is the percent in the plan, not a second firm rule. Create a Venasri account and set 4.25% only on the 5% product.
The static maximum on 2-Step is 10%, $10,000. You can respect 4.25% every day and still walk into the 10% floor over several sessions. The pass plan is a daily habit plus a lifetime count. Lite's static maximum is 8% and 1-Step's is 6%, so the lifetime count changes with the product.
Five days, then 21 or 5 before you are paid
You cannot finish the evaluation in a single Monday if the minimum is five trading days. After the pass, the first payout waits 21 days, or 5 days on Stellar 1-Step, then bi-weekly, with a $1,000 bonus if the 24-hour guarantee is missed. A 15% share of challenge-phase profits is part of the split story, on top of 80% to 95%.
There is no CFD consistency score on Stellar 1-Step, 2-Step, or Lite. You do not have to hide a good day. You do have to avoid the 5% print. The bot should stop adding trades once the day's open loss approaches the 4.25% guard, including trades that are still inside the 200 trade cap.
Passing inside 200 trades and 2,000 modifications
An EA path that takes 10 to 16 planned trades is comfortable inside 200 trades a day. A path that edits the stop on every tick can spend 2,000 modifications while the $8,000 target is unfinished. The pass math and the activity cap have to be true at the same time.
Weekend holds are allowed. A hold that gaps through the stop can spend more than the 0.50% unit and can touch the 5% day the guard was meant to stay in front of. If you swing, the stop has to be on the ticket before the session ends. News is allowed in the challenge. The funded 5-minute window comes later.
