$400 to pass, $250 to stay alive today
Phase 2 is 5%, or $250, the same cash as one full flagship day. If you start a free Venasri account, put $400, $250, and $500 on the login so the 8% target is not rounded up to the 10% habit from another firm. The day resets at 00:00 UTC+3 from the higher of balance or equity.
Ten losses at $25 equal the $250 day. The 1-Step day on this balance is 4%, or $200, and the 1-Step maximum is 6%, or $300. A 4.25% lock is $212.50, which fits under $250 and sits above $200. Use it only on the 5% path.
Pro and Flex change the floor, not the $25 habit
If this $5,000 account is Standard, the maximum is the $500 static 10%. Pro at 6% would be $300. Flex at 12% would be $600. The published firm-level Phase 1 percentage is 8%, so the $400 target is the flagship figure. Buying Pro and keeping a $500 mental floor is how a tiny account dies while the trader still thinks they have room.
Zero trails. A $5,000 trail moves in small dollars and still moves. Equity Guard has to know which product it is guarding. Three minimum trading days apply. There is no consistency score on Standard, Pro, or Flex evaluations.
Do not scale the $100,000 gold band down by guesswork
0.80 to 1.45 lots is the gold cap for a $100,000 challenge. This plan risks $25. Build the lot from $25 and the stop. A Sunday gap and Wednesday triple-swap still count inside the $250 if you hold. Evaluation holds are allowed. Check Friday margin reductions. The reduced ratio is not printed as one number for every symbol.
The funded news window is five minutes around high-impact releases unless the payout mode says otherwise. On a $250 day, a gold click inside that window is the whole plan. The $399 fee is the $100,000 price, not this size.
Payout percentages are not $5,000 math
Tuesday is 60%, bi-weekly is 80%, On-Demand is 90% with the consistency score, and monthly is 100%. Those splits apply to funded profit. They do not change the $400 target. Open MT5 bot control on MT5, Match-Trader, cTrader, or TradeLocker and keep the 2,000-request threshold in mind. A small account does not receive a smaller cap. An entry robot still needs source-code proof.
A float that marks the $5,000 equity above balance at midnight raises the next floor by that difference. You do not need a $3,500 example for the mechanism to apply. Any open gain can do it, and on this size the dollars are the whole day.
