The 2-Step daily loss is $4,000. The static maximum is $8,000, and Phase 1 is the same $8,000, so the target and the lifetime floor are equal distances from the start. Phase 2 is $5,000. The 0.50% ticket is $500, inside the $350 to $650 band. Sixteen 1R winners reach Phase 1. You also need 3 trading days. Three payout days of 0.5% are three $500 closes, $1,500, which start the on-demand clock and leave most of the $8,000 untouched.
A 0.10 gold lot with a 50-pip stop is that $500 if 0.10 lots is $10 per pip. A 0.80 lot is about $4,000, the whole day. Create a Venasri login for this balance and refuse every preset that is not $500, $3,250, and $8,000.
Why $3,250 and $3,200 are not the same click
Arm the loss flatten at $3,250 on Equity Guard. That is $750 before $4,000. Separately, if Instant or On-Demand applies, stop adding risk once the day is up about $2,800 and the cycle is still near $8,000. Letting a winner run to $3,250 because "the guard is $3,250" borrows a loss setting for a profit problem. At 35% the cap is $2,800 of an $8,000 cycle. At 40% it is $3,200. Know which score your payout tier uses.
The 1-Step does not get a static $8,000 floor. It trails 6% at end of day, $6,000 at the start. A $3,200 close steps that trail up and is also the consistency problem. The 10% static 2-Step path, if you bought it, puts the floor at $90,000 instead of $92,000. The daily $4,000 and the $500 ticket do not change with that purchase.
The $100K traps that are not the daily line
One trade above $3,200 can be 40% of the cycle by itself and delay the payout even if the rest of the week was $500 days. Profit inside the funded 2-minute news window can be excluded without the add-on, while a CPI stop counts toward $4,000. More than half the profit from scalps under two minutes fails the book. So does a 2,000 request overrun. None of those require equity to touch $96,000.
At 00:00 UTC+2 or UTC+3 the higher of balance or equity rebases the next day. A +$1,700 float makes the base $101,700 and the next 4% about $4,068. The static floor stays $92,000. The daily floor moves. Weekend holds are allowed under standard margin limits. They use that same snapshot before the gap.
Leave the $398 account on the $500 ticket
Bot Control should cap the idea at $500, pause news, partial floats above $1,000 before midnight, and halt new trades after $1,500 of daily loss, which is three planned stops. The split is 80%, or up to 95% with the add-on, after the three $500 days and then bi-weekly. Pay-Later does not buy a larger lot.
Two full $4,000 days are the static maximum. There is no scale-up inside the evaluation that widens the day because you are "the $100K trader." When a milestone actually changes the balance, rebuild $500 as 0.50% of the new number and move the $3,250 guard with it. Until that day, the two ceilings stay $3,250 of loss and about $3,200 of profit.
