Let the opening bar finish
Enter after the 13:30 UTC candle has settled, not during it. A 60 to 100 point stop measured from a price that is still printing is a guess. NAS100 and US30 share the $4,000 daily line on $100K. They also share the 2,000 request cap. Scalping both symbols through the same open, with a stop edit on every push, is how a manual method spends the request budget before lunch. One settled entry is the rule. A spray of probes is the failure.
You still need 3 trading days. Trading every cash open does not shorten that count below three, and it can create the short-scalp profit mix on day one. Create a Venasri login and mark 13:30 UTC as a wait, then one ticket.
Convert the points to $350 or $650
Goat does not publish a dollar value per index point in the rule card, so the contract count has to be backed into the loss band. Pick the count that makes a 100-point stop about $500, or at least inside $350 to $650. If the platform shows that your current count loses $2,000 on 100 points, you are halfway to the daily line on a structure that has not even filled. Cut the count. Do not tighten the stop into the opening noise to keep the size.
Equity Guard at $3,250 is the account flatten, not the point stop. The point stop should die near $500. The account stop dies at $3,250. Put both on Equity Guard. Six index losses at $650 are $3,900. You do not have a seventh at that end of the band.
Short scratches and the payout day
A handful of NAS100 trades that last under two minutes can be noise. Half the cycle's profit from that pile is a breach, even if each scratch was green and the $4,000 line is untouched. US30 scratches count in the same half. Do not split the habit across two symbols and call it diversified. Instant and Triple Payday also cap one day near 35% to 40% of cycle profit. A clean 100-point winner that makes $3,200 is a consistency problem of a different kind.
If the cash open is also CPI, NFP, or FOMC, the funded 2-minute window applies. Profit inside it can be excluded without the add-on. A slipped index stop counts in full. Personal risk tools are allowed. A pass-bot that fires both indices into the print is not. HFT is prohibited, and the open is where traders accidentally build one.
One index idea after the bar
Bot Control should block new NAS100 and US30 entries until the 13:30 UTC bar closes, cap the idea near $500, and count modifications so the session cannot wander toward 2,000 requests. Partial a runner before 00:00 UTC+2 or UTC+3 if the float is large, because the higher of balance or equity becomes the next daily base.
The 1-Step will also trail 6% at the close. A big index day that you bank steps that floor up before the next open. The 2-Step static 8% floor does not. Either way the next 13:30 UTC bar is a new $500 decision, not a right to repeat the winner at triple size. The $8,000 Phase 1 target is sixteen of those decisions, across at least three days.
