What 80% and 90% pay on a real cycle
The base share of funded profit is 80%. The higher tier pays 90% of the same profit. A $5,000 bi-weekly cycle therefore sends $4,000 or $4,500 through the OANDA treasury, and the remainder stays with the program. Classic 2-Step carries no consistency score, so one strong green session does not fail a payout test by itself. The session still ends the account if losses reach 5% of the starting balance.
Phase 1 on $100,000 is an 8% target, $8,000. Phase 2 is 5%, $5,000, and you need at least three trading days. Those figures get you funded. They are not cash withdrawals. Open a Venasri account and store the split tier beside the balance so a 90% setting is never treated as extra room under the daily line.
The next allocation keeps 5% and changes the cash
Capital steps up after the milestones, and only when the daily floor stayed intact. The percentage remains 5% of the starting balance on that book. A $100,000 day is $5,000. A $200,000 day is $10,000, so the honest 0.50% unit moves from $500 to $1,000 on the morning the new size posts. Keeping yesterday's lot is a different strategy from the one that earned the step-up.
During the challenge the maximum loss is a static 10%, a $90,000 floor on $100,000. Once you trade the Signal Provider account, that 10% trails from the end-of-day balance. A scale request filed on a high close can look comfortable in the challenge and then sit on a higher floor the next week. Read the floor you will actually trade before you ask for the larger number.
17:00 New York is the boundary the cycle has to respect
The allowance resets at 17:00 New York. That is server midnight, and it is not London midnight or 00:00 UTC. A ticket still open at 17:05 spends the new day from the first second. Overnight and weekend holding are permitted, so a Friday position lives through that reset and through the Sunday reopen.
You also cannot open or close market or pending orders in the two minutes before and after a high-impact release. A stop that slips in that band still debits the fixed 5%. Bot controls should refuse a fresh ticket inside those two minutes and should flatten a scale-week position that is leaning on the daily line.
Flatten at 4.25% before you ask for more capital
Set Equity Guard at 4.25% of the starting balance. On $100,000 that is $4,250, leaving $750 before the official $5,000 print. On a $200,000 book the same percentage is $8,500 against a $10,000 day. A guard left at the old dollar level either cuts the new book far too early or never fires while the account is already closed.
The program runs on MT5. Expert Advisors are allowed when the logic is a real strategy, and tick-arbitrage sits outside that allowance. A single challenge can be sized up to $500,000, and the $100,000 evaluation fee is $499. None of those facts add a sixth percent to the day. The step-up goes to the trader who can repeat a small deficit.
