The fee is $500 and the day is $5,000
Phase 2 is $5,000, matching one maxed day. There is no minimum trading-day count and no best-day cap on 1-Step or 2-Step. Open a Venasri account and set the balance to $100,000 before any lot math, because every number below scales from it.
A 10% static maximum floors the book at $90,000. An 8% static maximum is $8,000, the same as Phase 1. The 1-Step trails 6% from a $6,000 start and dies for the day at $4,000. Platforms are MT5, cTrader, Match-Trader, and DXtrade.
The $500 ticket in three markets
EURUSD at $10 per pip: 2.00 lots with a 25-pip stop risk $500. Gold: 1.00 lot with a $5 stop is about $500, because 1.00 lot is about $100 per $1. An index CFD at $1 per point: 10 lots with a 50-point stop risk $500. Pick one. Two of them in the same direction are $1,000.
Equity Guard should flatten near $4,000, which is eight of those tickets, not ten. Bot Control attaches the stop at the fill. The request cap is 2,000 a day. A gold trail that edits every few cents will spend the cap and still might miss the $5,000 touch if it is late.
Floating green at midnight is not a new floor
The day resets from the closed balance at 00:00. Carry $2,500 of open profit through the clock and the next $5,000 is not measured from the float. The account fails when equity touches the daily line anyway. Weekend holding is allowed. A $25 gold gap on 1.00 lot is about $2,500, half the day, on a hold the rules permit.
News is permitted without a 2-minute profit confiscation. A 1.00 lot through a $20 news move is about $2,000 before spread. That is allowed. It is also 40% of the day in one candle. Expert Advisors are allowed. Grid martingale, high-frequency trading, and latency arbitrage are not.
Sixteen $500 winners is the boring pass
The $8,000 target is sixteen net $500 results, or eight net $1,000 results. The second path dies if three losers arrive together. The split after funding is 80% to 90%, first payout at 14 days or 7 with the add-on. Eighty percent of $8,000 is $6,400 before costs, if you get there with the line untouched.
Do not point this $4,000 guard at a 3-Step login. That maximum is $5,000 static and a $4,000 flatten still leaves only $1,000 of life, but the target you copied from the 2-Step does not fit inside $5,000 of total loss. Read the card, then the lot.
