An $800 target with a $500 ceiling on the day
Phase 1 is 8%, $800. Phase 2 is 5%, $500. There is no minimum day count. A single $500 loser ends the session and erases more than half of the target you are chasing. Start a Venasri profile at $10,000 and ignore lot screenshots denominated in six figures.
The 10% static maximum is $1,000, a $9,000 floor. The 8% static version is $800, the same cash as Phase 1, so the target and the lifetime loss meet. The 1-Step trails 6%, $600, with a $400 day. The 3-Step maximum is a static $500, equal to one 2-Step day and less than the $800 target.
0.25 lots is $50, and 1.00 lot is the day
EURUSD at $10 per pip: 0.25 lots times 20 pips is $50. 1.00 lot times 20 pips is $200. 1.00 lot times 50 pips is $500, the whole day in one FX ticket. Gold at 0.10 lots is about $10 per $1, so a $5 stop is about $50 and a $50 stop is about $500. The $10,000 account tempts a full lot. The stop distance says no.
Equity Guard belongs near $400 of daily loss. Bot Control should attach the 20-pip or $5 stop at the fill and stay under 2,000 requests a day. High-frequency edits are banned along with latency arbitrage and grid martingale. A normal risk guard is allowed.
The $600 trail versus the $1,000 static floor
If you pass a small evaluation and then trade the 1-Step as if the floor were still $9,000, the trail will correct you. A $500 open winner on a $600 trail leaves about $100 of giveback before the maximum is involved, depending on how far the trail has already stepped. The 2-Step static floor does not do that.
Daily loss still resets from the closed balance at 00:00. A floating winner does not raise Wednesday's $500. A touch of $500 down still fails the account at that second. Weekend holding is allowed. News is permitted without a 2-minute profit confiscation. Both are easier to survive at $50 risk than at $200.
What 80% of $800 actually pays
The split is 80% to 90%, first payout 14 days after funding or 7 with the add-on. Eighty percent of an $800 Phase 1 is $640 before costs, and only after you are funded. There is no best-day rule on the 2-Step, so one $500 winner can be most of the target. The same $500 the other way is the whole day.
Build the $800 from $50 to $150 results. Ten net $80 winners do it with the $500 line barely warm. Two $400 ideas do it on paper and leave one loss away from a finished $10,000 account. The fee you saved by buying the small card is smaller than that one mistake.
