$8,000 across 10 to 16 planned trades
0.50% of $100,000 is $500. Ten winners at 1:1 would be $5,000, short of $8,000, which is why the range runs out to 16 trades and assumes the campaign is not a row of scratches. If you start a free Venasri account, write $500 as the risk and let the symbol tell you the lot. The $100,000 fee is $399.
Phase 2 is $5,000. Minimum trading days are three, not a calendar deadline that forces a large day. Standard, Pro, and Flex evaluations do not add a consistency score. You can still fail Pro on its 6% static maximum or Flex only after a 12% hole, so name the model before you count the trades.
4.25% is under 5% and over 4%
Equity Guard at 4.25% sits $750 under the $5,000 flagship day and $250 over a 4% 1-Step day of $4,000. Use it on the flagship 2-Step attempt described above. On the 1-Step path, a lock above 4% is already a breach. Zero's trailing maximum is a third shape and should not inherit this lock either.
The midnight rule can raise the reference before you have lost a closed dollar. A float that is up at 00:00 UTC+3 becomes the higher figure. The next 5% is measured from there. A pass plan that holds green runners through that clock is donating room the 10 to 16 trades were supposed to keep.
Three days, no best-day rule on the flagship evaluation
You need three trading days. You do not need a best-day percentage on Standard, Pro, or Flex evaluations. The 45% score appears on Zero Instant and on On-Demand rewards. If you already know you want On-Demand's 90% split, trade the evaluation as if that score will matter later, even though the evaluation itself does not impose it.
Tuesday Payday is 60%, bi-weekly is 80%, and monthly is 100%. Those splits are payout choices. They do not change the $8,000 target. Passing faster to reach a 100% month is how traders abandon the $500 unit.
Robots, news, and the request count
Risk tools are allowed. An entry robot needs source-code proof. The threshold is 2,000 requests a day on MT5, Match-Trader, cTrader, and TradeLocker. Open MT5 bot control so the 10 to 16 trades do not become 10 to 16 trails that each edit without rest. Once funded, high-impact news sits inside a 5-minute window unless your payout mode carves out an exception.
Weekend holds are allowed on evaluation, with a Friday margin check. Swap and the Sunday gap still hit the 5% day. A pass that depends on a weekend gap is not the 10 to 16 trade plan. It is one unpriced event.
