Double the balance, double the dollars, same percents
Phase 2 is $10,000. There is no minimum day count and no best-day cap on the 2-Step. Open a Venasri account at $200,000. Leaving yesterday's $100,000 guard at $4,000 will flatten this book when it still has $6,000 of official room, or the reverse if you forget to tighten a different card.
An 8% static maximum is $16,000, the same as Phase 1. A 10% static maximum is $20,000. The 1-Step does not give you the $10,000 day. It gives you $8,000 and a 6% trail. People buy $200,000 to feel far from the line. Four $2,500 mistakes are already the 2-Step day.
A $1,000 stop is 2.00 lots of gold at $5
XAUUSD at 2.00 lots moves about $200 per $1. A $5 stop is $1,000. A second 2.00 lot on the same idea is another $1,000, and together they are a fifth of the day. EURUSD at $10 per pip needs 5.00 lots on a 20-pip stop to risk the same $1,000. Five lots looks like a funded account. It is still half a percent only if the stop stays at 20 pips.
Equity Guard has to add correlated tickets and flatten the sum near $8,000, not each ticket at $1,000 while the sum runs to $10,000. Bot Control should place the $5 gold stop at the fill. The request cap does not become 4,000 because the account is larger. It stays 2,000 a day.
Weekend gold at this size is a five-figure gap
Weekend holding is allowed. Two lots through a $30 Sunday gap is about $6,000, most of a $10,000 day. The reset at 00:00 will not have raised the floor just because Friday's float was green. The gap can still tag the line. Cut the lot on Friday if the gap you have actually seen is larger than the room you have left.
News is permitted without a 2-minute confiscation. A $20 move on 2.00 lots is about $4,000. That is allowed and it is 40% of the day. Expert Advisors may manage the stop. A grid that adds another 2.00 lots into the red is the banned martingale pattern, and it is $1,000 more with every add.
The $16,000 target does not belong on every card
Sixteen net $1,000 results clear Phase 1 on the 2-Step. The split is 80% to 90%, first payout 14 days after funding or 7 with the add-on. Eighty percent of $16,000 is $12,800 before costs. The 3-Step maximum is $10,000, which is less than that target, so the big goal stays on the 2-Step.
After a scale-up from $100,000, rebuild the ticket. The old $500 stop is 0.25% here, which is safe and slow. The old 2.00 lot gold stop of $10 is $2,000, which is 1% and only five losses from the day. Write the new dollar, then the lot. The percent did not change. The cash did.
