One bracket is the whole permitted shape
Manual Trade Guard puts the stop on immediately, so you are not typing it while gold moves $1. On 1.00 lot that $1 is $100. On 1.45 lots it is $145. The breakeven move happens after the first target, and the remaining size comes off at three further levels. On a $500 unit aimed at 2R, the full payoff is $1,000, and four equal partials are $250 each. The prices belong to the chart. The request count belongs to the firm.
Martingale and grid stacking are the shapes that are not allowed, even if each grid line has a beautiful stop. If the preset starts adding orders because the first one went red, delete the preset. Bot controls should show one position, one stop, and a short list of targets. If the blotter shows a ladder, the setup is wrong before the daily loss is wrong.
Leave most of the 2,000 requests unused
A full day of 15 trades with a stop, a breakeven, and four partials is well under 2,000 requests. The danger is a modifier that trails every tick. Trailing by editing the stop ten times a minute, across a London-New York overlap of several hours, is thousands of requests. Trail less often, or trail in price levels you actually care about, such as the first target and breakeven. The cap is 2,000 for the day, shared by every platform you connected: MT5, cTrader, Match-Trader, and DXtrade.
cTrader and Match-Trader users sometimes assume the cap is an MT5 quirk. It is an account cap. Splitting the same idea across two platforms does not create 4,000 requests. Open a Venasri account and connect the book you really trade so the counter and the cash risk live in one place.
The attached stop has to match the day you bought
A 2-step $100,000 day is $5,000. A 1-step day is $3,000. A stop that risks $500 is inside both. A stop that risks $1,500 is three 1-step units and a bad morning away from the end. The tool will attach whatever distance you saved. Check the cash, not the pip count. A 70-pip gold stop at 1.45 lots is about $1,015. That is a legal attach and a large share of a 1-step day. The 1-step preset should not reuse the 2-step distance.
After the evaluation lock at plus $5,000, the same pip stop is a larger share of remaining room. Edit the preset when the floor moves to $95,000. A stale $500 stop is still safer than a stale $1,500 stop, and it is not automatically right just because it was right in week one.
Partials manage the trade and the flatten manages the day
Equity Guard at $4,250 on the 2-step book, or $2,250 on the 1-step book, closes everything when the day is hurt. That close-all should be one action, not a loop of modifications that spends the rest of the 2,000 requests trying to be polite. Partial exits will not fire if you are already past the daily ceiling. Let them work while the day is healthy.
Be flat for the funded 2-minute news window unless the add-on is on, and be flat into the weekend unless the tier includes the hold. A perfect four-target preset that stays open through CPI has done the wrong job. Encode the clock next to TP4. The last partial of the week is the one that forgets it is Friday.
