Phase 1 is an $8,000 pile of $500 decisions
Eight percent of $100,000 is $8,000. At $500 of risk, sixteen wins at 1R with no losses equal the target, and ten wins at 1.6R do the same. Real sequences are longer because some ideas lose. The day you must not spend along the way is $5,000, fixed to the starting balance. Ten full losses at $500 would be that day, so the passing streak and the dying streak are different lengths. You do not get to borrow from the passing streak.
Three minimum trading days mean a brilliant Monday is not the end of the risk. If the target prints early, the remaining days are still a challenge. Bot controls should freeze the unit at $500 and should end a session after a small number of losses, long before ten. The fee at this size is $499. It is not an amount you recover by doubling the next trade.
Phase 2 is $5,000, which is one full day if you get careless
The second target is 5%, or $5,000. That is 10R at the same $500 unit. It is also exactly the daily allowance. Traders who raise risk to $1,000 after Phase 1, because the finish feels close, give themselves five losses to end the account during the phase that was supposed to be simpler. The static floor is still $90,000. Nothing about hitting $8,000 moved it, and nothing about hitting $8,000 enlarged the next day.
Classic has no consistency score, so the firm will not stop you from making a huge chunk of the $5,000 in one push. You should stop yourself. A $2,500 winner is half the phase and half the day if the sign flips on the next idea. Sign up on Venasri with Phase 2 written as 10R, not as a victory lap, and keep the unit that got you through Phase 1.
The pass hands you a trail, not a larger static hole
The funded Signal Provider account trails the 10% maximum. A challenge floor that stayed at $90,000 while you were at $108,000 becomes something nearer $97,200 if the trail is 10% under that high. The daily allowance, fixed during the challenge, trails at the end of the day once you are funded. The settings and the habits that passed are one day away from being the wrong settings.
Payouts are bi-weekly at 80% up to 90%, not a daily button you can mash because Phase 2 felt hard. Weekend holding is allowed, so a pass-week runner can gap at 17:00 New York before the treasury ever sees it. News still bars fresh opens and closes around high-impact prints. None of those rules retire because the target was hit. The promotion is when they get more expensive.
The working line is $4,250 on a day the firm calls $5,000
Equity Guard should flatten the $100,000 challenge near $4,250. That $750 pocket is for a gold or index fill that is worse than the plan, not for one more idea. Because the day does not grow, a guard you loosen after a green morning is a guard you have turned off. The same $4,250 fits the one-step path, since that day is also 5%. It does not fit the funded book unchanged.
Put the stop on the ticket so the $500 unit is real. Institutional modification limits will notice if you drag that stop every few seconds because the phase feels slow. One planned stop, a handful of partials, and a session that ends while the fixed allowance is still obviously intact. That is the pass. The $8,000 is just the sum of having done it often enough, across at least three days, without a funeral in the middle.
