0.62 lots is correct and 0.70 lots is a raise
Two-phase daily loss is $1,250, 5% of $25,000. The maximum starts at $2,500, so $22,500 equity is the end before the lock. Half a percent is $125. Majors pay $10 per pip at 1.00 lot, so a 20-pip stop wants 0.625 lots, which you will not be offered. Use 0.62 lots and the cash risk is $124. Use 0.70 lots because the ladder looks nicer and the cash risk is $140, a 12% raise on every idea.
Gold is exact. A 50-pip stop at 0.25 lots is $125, because 0.25 times 50 times $10 is $125. The mistake is borrowing the 0.25 lot and putting it on an 80-pip stop, which is $200, or adding a second 0.25 lot because the first one looks small on a $25,000 screen. Two gold ideas are $250, a fifth of the day, and they are often the same US dollar trade. Bot controls should count correlated metals as one risk, not as two small ones.
Phase 2 is the same cash figure as one full day
Phase 1 is $2,500, the same figure as the starting maximum. Phase 2 is $1,250, the same figure as the daily line. Four minimum days still apply. That symmetry tempts people to risk $250 so the target feels close. Two losses at $250 are $500. Five of them are the whole day. The $125 unit needs more winners, and it also survives a morning that goes wrong.
One-phase daily loss is 3%, or $750, with a 10% maximum of $2,500. If you are on that product, the $1,250 two-phase note is already $500 too loose. Create a Venasri login and keep the products apart. The firm is London-based, founded in 2022, and the day still resets at 00:00 server time off the higher of balance or equity, whichever product you bought.
Plus $1,250 moves the floor from $22,500 to $23,750
The Smart Drawdown lock hits at plus 5%, which is $1,250 on this account, halfway to the $2,500 Phase 1 target. The floor then sits at $23,750 instead of $22,500. From a $26,250 equity mark the old hole was $3,750 deep. The new hole is $2,500 deep. You did not gain room by reaching the milestone. You gave $1,250 of lifetime room back to the rule.
A $1,000 floating gold gain is 4% of this account. Held through 00:00, it can become the base the next 5% is hung from. A full reversion then spends $1,000 of a $1,250 day while yesterday's closed profit still looks excellent. The no-challenge Instant book trails 10% and scores a 40% best day. Forty percent of a $2,500 cycle is $1,000, which is less than the $1,250 loss line, so a brilliant session can fail that score without looking dangerous on the drawdown meter.
Flatten near $1,063 and ignore round-number comfort
Equity Guard on the two-phase book belongs near $1,063 of daily loss, 4.25% of $25,000, not at a tidy $1,000 and not at the official $1,250. The $1,000 level gives away more buffer than this account can spare if gold slips. The $1,250 level is the firm print, which is too late. The one-phase book should sit near $563 against the $750 day.
Personal advisors are permitted. Martingale and grid stacking are not, and 2,000 server requests a day still applies when the lot is an awkward 0.62 and you are tempted to nudge it in tiny edits. Funded news is a 2-minute window unless the add-on is on. Weekend holding on selected Instant tiers needs its own add-on. Swing tiers include the hold. A Sunday gap on 0.25 lots of gold is not a free experiment on a $1,250 day.
