Pick the floor before you pick the lot
Standard dies at $2,500 down from the start. Pro dies at $1,500. Flex dies at $3,000. If you start a free Venasri account, store the model next to the balance. Phase 1 at 8% is $2,000 on all of these if you are using the published firm target. Phase 2 at 5% is $1,250, equal to one flagship day.
The 1-Step box is different again: 4% is $1,000 a day, and 6% maximum is $1,500. That $1,500 matches Pro's floor and does not make the 1-Step a Pro account. Zero trails. A 4.25% lock is $1,062.50, inside the $1,250 day and above the $1,000 1-Step day.
$125 ten times is the day
Ten full losses at $125 sum to $1,250. The reference can move at 00:00 UTC+3 if equity is the higher number. A $400 open gain raises the next floor by $400, and the $125 unit then chips away at a tighter remainder. Close the float or rename it as the next session's risk.
Three minimum trading days apply. Standard, Pro, and Flex evaluations skip the consistency score. Equity Guard should use the daily line of the path, not Flex's $3,000 life. The $3,500 midnight illustration from the $100,000 discussion is larger than this whole day, so do not wait for a float that big before you respect the clock.
Symbol plans from $100,000 do not transfer
Gold at 0.80 to 1.45 lots and index stops at 60 to 100 points are $100,000 distances and caps. Here the cash unit is $125. If the lot risks $300, it is more than two units, which is already the double-size tilt pattern on a smaller base. Rebuild it.
Weekend holds need a Friday margin check. Swap and the Sunday gap hit the $1,250. After funding, high-impact news is fenced by a 5-minute window unless the chosen payout mode drops that fence. The $399 fee remains the $100,000 published price.
Payout choice on a $2,000 target
A single $900 day is a large share of the $2,000 Phase 1 target. That is fine on a Standard evaluation with no score, and it is a problem if you later want On-Demand at 90% or Zero, both of which use 45%. Open MT5 bot control and keep the 2,000-request threshold. Entry robots still need source-code proof on this balance.
Tuesday pays 60%, bi-weekly 80%, monthly 100%. None of those percentages add loss room to Pro's $1,500 floor. Scaling the split is not scaling the maximum.
