Four dates, a stop, and no trade that owns the cycle
The firm minimum is four trading days. A single afternoon that prints the Silver Phase 1 target of $8,000 on a $100,000 account does not finish the requirement. Silver Phase 2 is 5%, or $5,000. Spread the results across four dates, and keep each date inside the 5% loss line of $5,000. Every one of those trades needs a stop. A winner with no stop is still a violation.
Multi-step plans, including Silver, Bronze, and Copper, cap any single trade at 50% of cycle profit. Half of an $8,000 cycle is $4,000. A $4,100 gold expansion fails the cap even though it never approached a $5,000 hole. Gold 1-Step is not in that multi-step sentence. Do not invent a best-day percentage for it, and do not assume the Silver cap is absent just because the product has one step. Read that contract. The multi-step rule itself is clear: one trade may contribute at most half.
75% pays $6,000 on $8,000, and 90% pays $7,200
The split starts at 75% and can scale to 90%. On $8,000 of eligible profit, 75% is $6,000 and 90% is $7,200. The extra $1,200 is the value of the higher share. It is not extra room under the daily line, and it does not move the static floor from $90,000 on a $100,000 Silver account. Payouts run every 14 days. Open equity is not cash the firm has agreed to send.
Passing Copper or Silver can return up to 200% of the challenge fee. The published $100,000 fee is $380, so that refund can be as much as $760. Collect it only on an account that also satisfied the four days, the stop rule, and the 50% cap. A refund review on a breached account is not a payout. The day still resets at 00:00 CET from the day-start balance or equity.
A legal stop can still produce an illegal share of the profit
The usual path into the 50% cap is one oversized gold winner. At $10 per 0.10 on 1.00 lot, a 1.45 lot position that runs 150 pips pays about $2,175. Two such expansions are already over $4,000. If the rest of the cycle is thin, the larger day owns the file. The stop was on the ticket. The 5% loss line was never the issue. The distribution of the profit was.
A $500 unit makes this hard to do by accident. A 2R winner is about $1,000, a quarter of the $4,000 ceiling on an $8,000 cycle. You would need a rare extension, or a much larger lot, to put half the target on one ticket. Bot controls can flag a multi-step position whose open profit is approaching half of the profit accumulated so far, and flatten the extra size before the close prints the cap.
Keep the 14-day window inside $4,250 of daily loss
Equity Guard should flatten Silver at $4,250 of daily loss on $100,000, inside the $5,000 line the payout review needs clean. Gold 1-Step should flatten near $3,250 against its $4,000 day. A request that goes out after the firm has printed the daily breach is a request about a closed account. The 50% cap is a separate check the guard does not score. You still have to limit how much of the cycle one green ticket is allowed to close.
Create a Venasri login with the program, the 14-day cycle, and the 75% or 90% share stored together. Partial large open profit before 00:00 CET so the day you want to count is actually closed. Four trading days with a $500 unit will reach an $8,000 target more slowly than a hero afternoon, and they will still be eligible when the hero afternoon is not.
