Eight net $1,000 results, with losses capped
Phase 1 is $8,000. Phase 2 is $5,000. Risk $500, which is 0.50%. A winner that pays 2R adds $1,000. Eight net winners of that size, after losers, clear Phase 1. Ten straight losers of $500 would be $5,000, which is the daily line, so the practical stop is to quit the session near $3,000 or $4,000 down. Start a Venasri account and write $8,000 as the goal and $4,000 as the quit.
There is no minimum trading-day count, so you are not forced to trade on a dead morning to satisfy a day counter. There is no best-day rule on the 2-Step, so a $2,000 winner counts fully. A $2,000 winner that was open $5,200 against you at the worst moment may already have failed the account before it came back.
The touch ends the comeback
Lark Funding resets daily loss from the closed balance at 00:00 and does not punish a floating winner. It does fail the account the second equity touches the line. A trade that is $4,800 down and then recovers to a $600 win is a win only if $4,800 was still above the floor. On a fresh $100,000 2-Step, $4,800 down leaves $200. One more tick can end it.
Equity Guard belongs near $4,000 of open loss, $1,000 before the firm's $5,000. That buffer is larger than one $500 ticket and smaller than two. Bot Control should block a new entry after the day is already down $2,500, so the guard is not asked to save a third idea.
Pick the floor before you pick the target
On an 8% static 2-Step the maximum is $8,000, the same as Phase 1. You can reach the target with no lifetime room left, or fail the maximum on the way. On a 10% static card the floor is $90,000, so the $8,000 target sits $2,000 above the death line if you have not already lost. The 1-Step is a different exam: $4,000 daily and a $6,000 trail. Do not practice one and sit the other.
The 3-Step maximum is $5,000 static. An $8,000 goal does not fit inside a $5,000 life. If you bought the 3-Step, the pass path is a smaller target than the 2-Step headline, and the sheet does not publish a separate 3-Step profit percent here. Trade it as a $5,000-max product, not as a renamed 2-Step.
Keep the pass legal after the profit posts
News is permitted without a 2-minute confiscation, and weekend holding is allowed. Either can produce the $1,000 winner you want. Either can produce the touch. Expert Advisors are allowed if they are not high-frequency, latency, or grid martingale, under 2,000 requests a day. The first payout, once funded, is 14 days or 7 with the add-on, at 80% to 90%.
A clean pass is a stack of closed results inside $500 to $1,000 of risk, a flatten at $4,000 on the day, and a product whose maximum is wider than the target you are chasing. The $500 fee on $100,000 is the cheap part. The $5,000 touch is the part that deletes the work.
