A $400 target living inside a $250 day
Phase 1 is 8%, $400. Phase 2 is 5%, $250. There is no minimum trading-day count and no best-day cap on the 2-Step. You need $400 of closed profit without a $250 losing day. Open a Venasri account at $5,000. A lot copied from a $100,000 video is twenty times too big.
The 1-Step day is 4%, $200, and its maximum trails at 6%, $300. The 2-Step day is the $250 in the headline, with a static maximum of 8% ($400, a $4,600 floor) or 10% ($500, a $4,500 floor). The 3-Step life ends at $250 and does not reset.
Gold at 0.05 lots, or not at all
At 1.00 lot, $1 of gold is about $100. At 0.05 lots, $1 is about $5, and a $50 move is about $250. That is the full 2-Step day. A sane ticket is 0.05 lots with a $10 stop, about $50, which fits five times inside $250. EURUSD at $10 per pip needs 0.25 lots on a 20-pip stop to risk the same $50.
Equity Guard should flatten near $200 of daily loss, $50 before the firm's $250. Bot Control should put the $10 stop on at the fill. A naked 0.10 lot through a $30 gold move is about $300 and already through both the day and the 3-Step maximum.
Midnight will not save a $250 dip
The daily figure resets from the closed balance at 00:00 and does not punish a floating winner. It still fails the account when equity touches $250 down on the 2-Step. On a $5,000 book that touch is a small gold candle. Weekend holding is allowed, and a Sunday gap of $50 on 0.05 lots is about $250.
News is permitted without a 2-minute profit confiscation. The permission is the same on this tiny balance as on $100,000. The dollars are not. Expert Advisors are allowed. Grid martingale, high-frequency trading, and latency arbitrage are not. The cap is 2,000 requests a day, which a noisy trail hits just as fast here.
Payout math on a very small pass
The split is 80% to 90%. The first payout is 14 days after funding, or 7 days with the add-on. Eighty percent of a $400 Phase 1 is $320 before costs. That only exists if the $250 days never printed. There is no consistency rule forcing you to split the $400, and nothing stopping one $180 winner from being most of the target.
If you bought the 3-Step, stop using the $400 target. The maximum is $250, less than Phase 1 of the 2-Step. Trade it as an account that ends at a $250 loss, with stops near $25, so you have about ten attempts in the entire life of the card.
