0.62 lots is the FX unit and 0.70 lots spends $140
Classic daily loss is $1,250. The static maximum is $2,500. Half a percent is $125. Majors at $10 per pip need 0.625 lots for a 20-pip stop, so 0.62 lots is about $124. The ladder's next comfortable click, 0.70 lots, is $140, a 12% overweight on every idea. Five of those overweights are an extra $75 you did not budget, which is real money against a $1,250 day.
Gold is the trap in the other direction because it looks tidy. A 50-pip stop at 0.25 lots is exactly $125. An 80-pip stop at the same 0.25 lots is $200. A second 0.25 lot because the first felt small is another $125 on the same US dollar bet. Bot controls should price the stop in cash and should treat two metals tickets as one risk unless the currencies truly differ.
You need $2,000 in Phase 2 with only $1,250 of daily air
Phase 1 is $2,500, equal to the entire starting maximum. Phase 2 is $2,000. Four minimum days apply. At $125 risk, $2,000 is 16R. It is not two lucky $1,000 afternoons. Those afternoons would also be most of the day if they lost. One Phase replaces this target problem with a tighter box: $1,000 on the day and about $1,500 of end-of-day trail. The $1,250 Classic note is $250 too loose for that purchase.
A funded payout opens at 1% of profit, or $250 on this balance. Eighty percent of $250 is $200. Forty-five percent of $250 is $112.50, so a single $150 day blocks the request until the pool grows past roughly $334. Start a Venasri account and put the $2,000 Phase 2 figure on the same line as the 0.62 lot. Forgetting either number is enough.
A $1,000 float is 4% of the account at 00:00
Floating equity joins the daily reference at 00:00, UTC+2 or UTC+3. A $1,000 open gold gain is 4% of $25,000. If the snapshot uses it, a giveback spends $1,000 of the next $1,250 day. Yesterday can still look like a win in the closed blotter. That is the midnight failure at this size: the float is large enough to matter and small enough that people leave it.
Swing is the only variant that should be holding through Sunday. A 70-pip gap on 0.25 lots is $175, more than one unit. Other logins should be flat. Funded news is a 2-minute window, and 0.25 lots of gold through a widened CPI stop can be the whole morning. The 6% One Phase trail will also step up if you close the day green, so a pullback on Tuesday is judged against a higher floor than Monday's open.
Flatten near $1,063, not at a tidy $1,000 or $1,250
Equity Guard on Classic belongs near $1,063, which is 4.25% of $25,000. A round $1,000 gives away more cushion than gold slippage needs, and $1,250 is the firm's print. One Phase should flatten near $813 against the $1,000 day. These are awkward numbers because the account is an awkward size. Round them in the wrong direction and you donated the pocket the guard was for.
Personal advisors are permitted. Funded stops are required. The request cap is 2,000 a day, which a fidgety trail on 0.62 lots can spend while you hunt a cleaner entry. Forty-five percent of the $2,500 Phase 1 target is $1,125. Stay under that share on Fast Track if you want the score to match the profit. The 0.62 lot is the discipline. Everything else is a way of talking yourself into 0.70.
