0.50 lots of gold is the unit and 1.00 lot is a double
Classic daily loss is $2,500. The static floor is $45,000. The 0.50% unit is $250. Gold at $10 per 0.10 makes 0.50 lots with a 50-pip stop exactly $250. FX at $10 per pip makes 1.25 lots with a 20-pip stop the same $250. People round gold up to 1.00 lot and leave the FX lot alone. That doubles the metal and keeps the currency honest, which is the opposite of careful.
A 70-pip stop at 1.00 lot is $700, outside the $350 to $650 band that lets seven stops approach the day without printing it. Seven times $250 is $1,750, comfortably inside $2,500. Seven times $700 is $4,900 and the account is gone. Bot controls should refuse gold above 0.50 lots when the stop is 50 pips or wider, and they should refuse a second index or metal that repeats the dollar risk.
Phase 2 needs $4,000, which is 1.6 daily budgets
Phase 1 is $5,000, the same cash as the maximum loss. Phase 2 is $4,000. Four minimum days apply to the path. At $250 risk, $4,000 is 16R. Traders who lift the unit to $500 so Phase 2 feels closer give themselves five losses to the $2,500 line. The static floor does not move just because Phase 1 was passed. You are not safer in Phase 2. You are closer to a payout and just as breakable.
One Phase does not use that $4,000 target in this plan. It uses a $2,000 day and a trail near $3,000 at the start. A close at $52,000 puts 6% under it near $48,880. Classic at $52,000 is still judged against $45,000. Open a Venasri account and do not let a shared $50,000 label hide that $6,000 difference in lifetime room.
The first payout trigger is $500, and 45% of it is $225
Funded requests open after profit clears 1%, or $500. At 80% the check is $400. At 90% it is $450. A best day of $300 is 60% of a $500 pool and fails the 45% score until total profit is about $667. Requesting at the first green tick through $500 is often early. Fast Track can apply the same score to the $5,000 Phase 1 target, where 45% is $2,250, almost a full daily loss if that day had been red.
The midnight reference includes floating equity. A $1,500 open winner is 3% of the account. Carry it through 00:00 and the next day inherits it. Swing gaps belong only on the Swing variant. A 80-pip Sunday gap on 0.50 lots of gold is $400, more than one unit, before Monday's first decision. Funded news still sits in a 2-minute window. None of this pauses because you are halfway to $4,000.
Flatten near $2,125 on Classic and near $1,625 on One Phase
Equity Guard on Classic should flatten near $2,125, leaving $375 before the official $2,500. On One Phase flatten near $1,625 against the $2,000 day. The half-lot gold slip is why the pocket exists. If you are in at 1.00 lot, the pocket is too small for the position you actually have, which is a sign the lot is wrong rather than a sign the guard should be looser.
Advisors and risk guards are allowed. The stop on a funded ticket is not optional, and 2,000 requests a day still counts. A trail on 0.50 lots through the COMEX open can fail the cap without a $2,500 print. The fee you paid is not a buffer. The buffer is the $375 between $2,125 and $2,500, and it is gone if you treat it as extra risk.
