One hundred twenty-five dollars, not two hundred fifty
0.50% of $25,000 is $125. Eight of those losses reach the $1,000 daily line. Four losses at $250 do it in half the mistakes, and $250 is 1%, outside the 0.35% to 0.65% band, which is $87.50 to $162.50 on this balance. Sixteen $125 winners equal the $2,000 target at 1R. You also need 3 trading days. Phase 2, on the 2-Step, is 5%, $1,250, under the same $1,000 day.
Gold at $2 per pip is 0.02 lots. A stop near 60 pips is about $125. A 0.10 lot is $10 per pip and $500 on 50 pips, four times the plan and half the day. Register a Venasri account with 0.02 as the ceiling so the round $1,000 does not talk you into 0.10.
Eight hundred dollars of profit is the payout wall
Equity Guard at 3.25% is $812.50, almost the same dollar as the 40% cap on a $2,000 cycle and $187.50 before the $1,000 loss print. Use $812.50 as the loss flatten on Equity Guard. Use $800 as the place a 40% tier stops adding winners. They are not interchangeable. One protects the evaluation. The other protects the on-demand request that needs three separate days of $125, not one day of $800.
The 1-Step trails 6%, $1,500 at the start. An $800 close steps that trail up and is already 40% of the $2,000 story. The 2-Step static floor remains $2,000 under the start, $23,000 in equity terms if you began at $25,000. Two maximum daily losses end that static room. The $800 winner did not make the floor larger.
Three tickets are no longer a small add
Three $125 gold stops are $375, which is 1.5% of $25K. That stack is three times the written unit. Goat will still count a news stop inside the funded 2-minute window toward the $1,000, and it can exclude the profit. A trail that updates all three tickets through CPI also spends the 2,000 request cap faster than one ticket does. One position, then flat, is the $25K version of discipline.
Midnight uses the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 UTC+2 or UTC+3. A +$400 float rebases the next 4%. On a $1,000 day, $400 of base shift is 40% of the daily budget before Tuesday begins. Partial it. Weekend holds are allowed. They are not a reason to carry 0.10 lots into Sunday because the account "is twenty-five thousand."
Leave the alarms in dollars, not in feelings
Bot Control should cap gold at 0.02 lots for a 60-pip stop, flatten at $812.50 of loss, and stop new entries after $700 of profit if cycle profit is still near $2,000. The 80% split, or 95% with the add-on, arrives after the three $125 days and a bi-weekly clock. It does not arrive because the day was a clean round number.
If you also run a $100K Goat login, $3,250 is not this guard and 0.10 lots is not this lot. The $25K account fails when it borrows the larger preset for an afternoon. It passes when $125 stays the ticket all the way through the $2,000 target and the $1,250 second phase.
