Read the $10 unit before you read the chart
A 0.10 move is priced at $10 per pip in this plan. If you start a free Venasri account, keep that note on the gold symbol of the $100,000 login only. Pro's maximum is 6% and the 1-Step maximum is 6%, so a gold size built for Standard's 10% life is already the wrong reference on those models.
The daily anchor is the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 UTC+3. Gold that is floating green at midnight raises the next 5% reference. The COMEX wick you feared on the open can arrive after a midnight mark-up and spend a smaller remainder.
0.80 to 1.45 is a ceiling, not a target
The band is the most you should consider, not the lot you must use. A $500 risk unit at 0.50% may imply a smaller lot once the 50 to 70 pip stop is applied. If the platform lot at 1.45 risks more than the day can spare, you do not get to keep 1.45 because it is inside the written cap.
Flex's 12% static maximum is lifetime room. It is not a gold-volume coupon. Equity Guard still follows the 5% flagship day or the 4% 1-Step day. A 4.25% lock is only for the 5% plan.
50 to 70 pips only if the dollars fit
The structural stop is 50 to 70 pips so the COMEX open does not consume the day by itself. Confirm the dollar loss of your exact lot and exact stop. Do not assume the corner of the range, 1.45 lots and 70 pips, has been pre-cleared for every contract specification your broker shows.
Funded news uses a 5-minute window around high-impact releases unless the payout mode says otherwise. Gold is often the symbol that moves in that window. The evaluation may allow the hold. The funded window can still restrict the fresh entry.
Weekend gold still pays the gap
Holds are allowed on evaluation and selected funded models. Check Friday margin reductions on gold specifically, because the rule does not give one ratio for every symbol. Open MT5 bot control and flatten or cut size before the close if the reduction would make the position illegal. Wednesday triple-swap and the Sunday gap count in the 5% day.
The request threshold is 2,000 a day. Trailing a gold stop through London and New York can spend it. Four partials are enough. The fee at $100,000 is $399. Minimum days are three. Phase 1 is 8%, or $8,000, which a single gold home run can distort if you later need the 45% score on Zero or On-Demand.
