What 80%, 90%, and 14 days each change
The published split runs from 80% to 90%. On $6,000 of funded profit that is $4,800 at the base and $5,400 at the top, a $600 gap that does not add a dollar of daily room. Withdrawals sit every 14 days from the first funded trade, not from the day the fee was paid. The published $100,000 fee is $459. That is a cost of entry, not a credit against the $5,000 day.
New capital shows up when milestones are cleared without breaching the 5% floor. Treat the next balance as a new percentage problem. If the first $100,000 was risked at $500, a doubled allocation needs a $1,000 unit, which is still 0.50%. Keeping the old lot after the scale doubles the percentage. Open a Venasri account before the scale date so the dollar unit changes on the day the balance changes.
The trailing Instant book is not the Smart Drawdown evaluation
The no-challenge Instant account trails a 10% maximum and scores a 40% best day. Evaluations use Smart Drawdown: the lifetime floor starts at minus 10% and locks at minus 5% once the account is 5% ahead. On $100,000 that lock moves the floor from $90,000 to $95,000. A scale habit copied from the trailing Instant book onto an evaluation assumes room the lock has already removed.
One-phase daily loss is 3%, not 5%. On $100,000 that is a $3,000 day against a 10% maximum of $10,000. Two-phase daily loss stays at 5%, with a 10% Phase 1 target and a 5% Phase 2 target, across at least four trading days. Weekend holding on selected Instant tiers needs the weekend add-on. Swing tiers include it. A hold you were not cleared for is a breach even when the cash loss would have fit inside the day.
A 40% day can block the scale while the chart is green
Forty percent of an $8,000 Instant profit cycle is $3,200. A gold session of $3,500 fails the best-day score while the 5% line, $5,000 on $100,000, is never touched. The evaluation products are not published with that same 40% score. If the account you want to scale is the no-challenge Instant book, plan the 14-day window so no single session is allowed to own the cycle.
Personal Expert Advisors and risk managers are permitted on MT5, cTrader, Match-Trader, and DXtrade. Martingale and grid stacking are not. The ceiling is 2,000 server requests a day. A trail that rewrites a stop on every tick can fail a review without printing 5%. Bot controls should keep modifications quiet, especially on gold around the COMEX open.
Flatten before the scale request, not at the firm print
Set Equity Guard to flatten a two-phase book at 4.25% daily loss. On $100,000 that is $4,250, which leaves $750 before the official $5,000 print. A one-phase book at 3% should flatten near 2.25%, or $2,250 on $100,000. Using the two-phase number on a one-phase account means the flatten arrives after the firm has already ended the day.
The daily anchor is the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 server time. A $3,000 open winner held into that snapshot can raise the next breach line. Partial it if you want the new day, and the scale review, to start from closed balance. Funded news sits in a 2-minute window unless the add-on is on. A stop that slips through CPI still counts against the same 5% floor the scale depends on.
