0.65% survives seven mistakes and 1% does not
On $100,000, 0.35% is $350 and 0.65% is $650. Seven times $650 is $4,550. The Classic day is $5,000, so the seventh stop still fits and the eighth does not. Seven times $350 is $2,450, which leaves a wide pocket and a slower path to the $10,000 Phase 1 target. Either end of the band is a plan. A $1,000 stop, which is 1%, means five losses are the whole day with nothing left for spread.
Phase 2 is $8,000, not a victory lap. If you used 1% to rush Phase 1, you arrive in Phase 2 with a habit that can erase the account in a single morning. Stay inside the band for both phases. Bot controls should reject a ticket whose cash risk is above $650 on this balance, including the ticket you add because the first one is working.
Translate the dollars into lots before the click
Majors pay about $10 per pip at 1.00 lot. A 20-pip stop at $500 of risk, the middle of the band, is 2.50 lots. At $350 it is 1.75 lots. At $650 it is 3.25 lots. Gold pays $10 per 0.10. A 50-pip stop is 0.70 lots at $350, 1.00 lot at $500, and 1.30 lots at $650. A 70-pip gold stop at 1.30 lots is $910, which has already left the band. The lot is not the rule. The lot times the stop is the rule.
The gold band people copy from a strategy note, 0.80 to 1.45 lots, only stays inside 0.65% when the stop is short enough. At 1.45 lots and 70 pips the cash risk is $1,015. That is a single idea worth more than 1%. It can be a structural stop. It cannot be your everyday unit if you also want seven mistakes. Pick one standard. Create a Venasri login and save the dollar cap, then let the lot fall out of the stop distance.
One Phase cannot borrow the Classic upper band
One Phase daily loss is 4%, or $4,000 on $100,000. Seven stops at $650 are $4,550, which is already through that day. The upper band was built for a 5% Classic line. On One Phase, seven stops need to land nearer $3,200 or below if you still want a pocket, which is about $450 a trade, under 0.50%. The maximum is also a 6% end-of-day trail, about $6,000 at the start and higher after a green close, so a big unit damages both the day and the trail.
Fast Track's 45% score is a third constraint. A 2R winner at $650 is $1,300. Three of those in one session are $3,900, which is 39% of a $10,000 Phase 1 target and can become the best day that blocks a payout later. The band keeps you alive. It does not automatically keep one session under 45% of the cycle. Cap the session as well as the ticket.
The guard is the eighth trade you refuse to take
Equity Guard should flatten Classic near $4,250, which is just before the seventh $650 stop would have finished the day if the fills were dirty. Slippage is why the guard sits inside $4,550 rather than on the official $5,000. On One Phase flatten near $3,250. If you are trading the $350 end of the band, the guard still belongs there, because a news slip can turn one $350 idea into something much larger.
Funded tickets need a stop, and that stop is what makes the percentage real. A mental stop at $650 with no order on the server is not 0.65%. The day rolls at 00:00, UTC+2 or UTC+3, including floating equity, so a basket of open losers at the snapshot is already part of the next reference. The request cap is 2,000 a day. None of those rules get a vote if the lot was wrong at the click.
