1.00 lot of gold is the budget on a 50-pip stop
The multi-step day is $5,000 and the static maximum is $10,000, so $90,000 equity ends a $100,000 evaluation. The fee on this size is $380, and a pass can refund up to 200% of that fee, as much as $760. The refund is not margin. The working unit remains $500. At $10 per pip on 1.00 lot, a 20-pip FX stop wants 2.50 lots. A 50-pip gold stop wants 1.00 lot. A 70-pip gold stop at that same lot is $700, which is 0.70%, and three of those are most of the day.
Every ticket needs a stop-loss or the firm records a violation at the fill. Bot controls should reject a gold order whose cash risk is above $500 and should reject any order with a blank stop. Full automated entry on RF-Trader is restricted. A risk helper on MT5 is the path that stays inside the platform rules if you actually own the logic and you keep the modification pace quiet.
Phase 1 is $8,000, so one trade may own $4,000
Phase 1 is 8%, not 10%. The next phase is 5%, or $5,000, which equals one full day. Four minimum trading days apply. Traders who import a 10% target hunt an extra $2,000 and usually find it by widening gold. At 2R the $500 unit pays about $1,000, so the $8,000 phase is a sequence, not a CPI candle.
The 50% contribution cap sets a $4,000 ceiling on one trade. That is eight R on the honest unit, which you will not hit by accident, or it is 2.00 lots of gold running 200 pips, which you can hit on a news day if you doubled the plan. Gold 1-step on this balance is a $4,000 day and a $6,000 trailing maximum. The Silver $5,000 note is the wrong sticky for that product.
A $3,500 float at 00:00 CET spends most of the next day
The anchor is day-start balance and equity at 00:00 CET. Hold $3,500 of open gold profit through that print and a full giveback is 70% of the next $5,000 hole. The account can still show a closed win from yesterday. Partial before the clock. This is the same midnight problem smaller sizes have, with a dollar sign large enough to feel like a good decision while you are in it.
Funded trading picks up a two-minute news block. Weekend holding depends on the tier. A standard assumption that Friday is always allowed will fail the tier that must be flat. Create a Venasri login and store Silver and Gold as separate cards. One $500 unit does not survive being copied onto a 4% day.
Flatten near $4,250 and leave the refund alone
Equity Guard should flatten the 5% book near $4,250, leaving $750 before the official print. Gold 1-step should flatten near $3,250 against a $4,000 day. Recalculate if a scale or a large closed gain changes the balance you are actually trading. The guard dollar level is a percentage of the live book, not a souvenir of the purchase date.
Eight losers at $500 are $4,000, inside the guard, and the ninth is the flatten. That is the point of 0.50%. A plan that needs the full $5,000 in order to feel the session counted will meet the firm line on the first bad morning. The $760 refund conversation happens later, and only if this math stays boring.
