The 1-Step box is 4% and 6%
On $100,000 the 1-Step day ends at $4,000 and the maximum ends at $6,000. If you start a free Venasri account, label the login 1-Step before any lot from a 2-Step template is applied. The daily reference is the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 UTC+3, so a green float shrinks the next day's room on this tighter product even faster.
Three minimum trading days is the published count. There is no consistency score on 2-Step Standard, Pro, or Flex evaluations. Zero and On-Demand use 45%. If your 1-Step purchase is paired with an On-Demand payout later, the score appears at payout time even though the evaluation comparison itself did not include it.
The flagship 2-Step is 8% then 5%, inside 10%
Phase 1 is 8%, or $8,000 on $100,000. Phase 2 is 5%, or $5,000. The maximum is a static 10% from the initial balance. The day is 5%. That is the comparison the flagship name refers to. It is a lower Phase 1 target than a firm that asks for 10% first, and it is still two stages.
The $100,000 fee is $399. Equity Guard at 4.25% fits under the 5% flagship day and sits above the 4% 1-Step day. One lock cannot serve both products. Pick the lock after you pick the step count.
Pro, Flex, and Zero are not the flagship pair
Pro's static maximum is 6%. Flex's is 12%. Zero trails. Comparing only 1-Step and Standard 2-Step and then buying Pro because the fee looked similar is how traders inherit a 6% life they did not model. Flex's extra lifetime room does not widen the 5% day.
Weekend holds are allowed on evaluation and selected funded models, with a Friday margin check. Funded news uses a 5-minute window unless the payout mode says otherwise. Those rules attach after you pass. They do not change the 4% versus 5% daily gap.
Payout cycles are a third choice, not a step count
Tuesday Payday is a 60% split. Bi-weekly is 80%. On-Demand is 90% and needs the consistency score. Monthly is 100%. Open MT5 bot control on MT5, Match-Trader, cTrader, or TradeLocker only after the step count and the payout cycle are both chosen. A full entry robot still needs source-code proof. The request threshold is 2,000 a day either way.
There is no published statistic that says the 1-Step passes more often. The published fact is less daily room, less maximum room, and one stage, against more room and an 8% then 5% pair of targets. Choose the box you can trade, not the story about odds.
