Five percent and 10% are the shared walls
The one-step comparison uses a 5% daily loss and a 10% maximum. Classic, the flagship two-step, uses the same pair. On $100,000 that is a fixed $5,000 day and a static floor at $90,000 during the challenge. You do not buy the shorter evaluation to escape a tight day, because the day did not get tighter or looser. You buy it to avoid a second profit target, and you should price it that way.
People arrive from firms where the one-step product cuts the day from 5% to 4% or 3% and the maximum from 10% to 6%. That trade is not on offer here. If your reason for the shorter path was more room, you have the wrong firm. If your reason was fewer stages inside a room you can already survive, the comparison is real. Open a Venasri account and write the same $5,000 and $90,000 on both cards so the labels cannot fool you.
Classic adds $8,000 and then another $5,000 inside that box
Phase 1 is 8%, or $8,000. Phase 2 is 5%, or $5,000. Three minimum trading days apply. Phase 2 is exactly one full daily allowance. A single maximum day in Phase 2 erases a finished target. The static floor gives you $10,000 of lifetime room, so Phase 1 at $8,000 leaves about $2,000 of slack if you never dip, and Phase 2 then asks you to make back a sum equal to the thing that can kill the day.
The one-step path keeps the loss box and does not publish that second mountain in this comparison. It is not automatically easier to pass in the sense of more mistakes allowed. It is a shorter list of profit goals inside an identical chance to be wrong. After either path, the Signal Provider account trails the 10%. The promotion is the same change of contract. Choosing the shorter challenge does not freeze the floor.
Use one flatten, then respect the target that is actually yours
Equity Guard at about $4,250 fits both challenge types on $100,000, because both days are $5,000. That is different from firms where the one-step guard has to sit lower. Here, sharing the guard is correct during the challenge and wrong after funding, when the daily allowance and the 10% maximum both start to trail. Put a reminder on the promotion date. The settings that passed you are not the settings that keep you.
If you want fewer stages and you can stay inside $350 to $650 a trade, the shorter path is coherent. If you want the two-step story, budget 16R at $500 for the $8,000 and another 10R for the $5,000, across at least three trading days, without ever treating a green morning as a larger day. The pass is the profit inside the box. The box does not care which brochure you bought.
