5.00 lots is the whole budget, not a starter size
Two-phase daily loss is $10,000, 5% of $200,000. The maximum starts at $20,000, so equity at $180,000 is the end before the lock. The unit is $1,000. At $10 per pip, 5.00 lots with a 20-pip stop cost $1,000 exactly. Gold at $10 per 0.10 move needs 2.00 lots on a 50-pip stop to risk the same $1,000. Both are large enough that a platform warning will not save you. The math has to.
A slip that doubles the gold stop, from 50 pips to 100, turns 2.00 lots into a $2,000 loss. Five such slips are the entire day. Two correlated gold tickets at 2.00 lots are already $2,000 of planned risk before any slip, a fifth of the day in one US dollar idea. Bot controls should cap a single idea at $1,000 of stop risk and should treat a second metals ticket as the same idea unless the dollar exposure is actually different.
The one-phase day is $6,000, which is $4,000 tighter
One-phase daily loss is 3%, or $6,000, not $10,000. The maximum is still 10%, or $20,000. A trader who imports the two-phase figure is $4,000 late. Phase 1 on the two-phase path is $20,000 and Phase 2 is $10,000, with four minimum trading days. Phase 2 equals one full two-phase day, so a single maximum day in Phase 2 wipes a profit target the size of the entire daily line.
The no-challenge Instant product trails 10%, a $20,000 hole at the start, and scores a 40% best day. Forty percent of a $20,000 cycle is $8,000. A $9,000 gold day fails the score and is still inside the $10,000 loss line if it had been red. Sign up on Venasri with the product written next to $200,000. The balance is not the rule.
Plus $10,000 locks the floor at $190,000
Smart Drawdown locks at plus 5%. On this account that is $10,000 of profit, and the floor steps from $180,000 to $190,000. It happens halfway to the $20,000 Phase 1 target. From $210,000 of equity the old floor was $30,000 away. The new floor is $20,000 away. Ten thousand dollars of lifetime room leaves at the moment the account looks safest.
The daily anchor is the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 server time. A $6,000 open winner is 3% of the book. Held through the snapshot, a giveback spends $6,000 of the next $10,000 day. Weekend holding on selected Instant tiers needs the add-on. Swing includes it. A Sunday gap on 2.00 lots of gold is hundreds of dollars per 10 pips, and without the add-on the hold can be the breach before the gap is even measured. Funded news remains a 2-minute window unless that add-on is on.
Flatten near $8,500, and near $4,500 on the one-phase book
Equity Guard on the two-phase book should flatten near $8,500, 4.25% of $200,000, leaving $1,500 before the official $10,000. On the one-phase book flatten near $4,500 against the $6,000 day. A guard left at $8,500 on a 3% product fires $2,500 after the firm has already ended the day. Size the guard to the contract you bought, then resize it if a scale changes the balance.
Personal advisors and risk managers are permitted. Martingale and grid stacking are not. The ceiling is 2,000 server requests a day, which a 2.00 lot gold trail can exhaust if it rewrites the stop on every tick through the COMEX open. The 14-day payout at 80% to 90% starts at the first funded trade. It does not restore the $180,000 floor after the lock, and it does not forgive a request-cap breach that never showed up as a losing trade.
