2.50 FX lots and 1.00 gold lot are the $500 clicks
The Dual Step day is $4,000. The static maximum is $8,000, so equity at $92,000 ends the account. Phase 1 is $8,000. Half a percent is $500. A 20-pip stop at $10 per pip needs 2.50 lots. Traders who want a rounder number click 2.00 lots, which risks $400 and lengthens the path, or 3.00 lots, which risks $600. Six losses at $600 are $3,600, most of the day. Gold at 1.00 lot with a 50-pip stop is the clean $500. At 1.50 lots that stop is $750.
Sixteen winners at $500 and 1R add up to the $8,000 target. Ten winners need to average about $800, or 1.6R. Losers lengthen the path, and three minimum trading days mean the profit has to appear on at least three dates. Bot controls should refuse a metals order above $500 of computed risk and should treat a paired dollar trade as part of the same unit.
Phase 2 asks for another $5,000 on the same floor
Phase 2 is 5%, or $5,000. The static floor does not relax because Phase 1 was completed. Two full $4,000 days still equal the entire maximum. You do not get a third full day at any point in the evaluation. A process that loses $4,000 on Monday and trades Tuesday as a fresh account is describing a different firm.
Lightning on this balance is a $3,000 day and a $6,000 end-of-day trail. The $4,000 card is the wrong product. Three $1,000 losses end the Lightning day immediately. Nexus shares the Dual Step $4,000 day and $8,000 static maximum. The 80% to 90% split and the 14-day or 7-day payout cycle apply after you are funded. They do not add room under the $4,000 line while you are still trying to make the $8,000.
A $3,000 float will reprice a $4,000 day
The higher of balance or equity at 00:00 ThinkMarkets time becomes the next anchor. A $3,000 open gain is 3% of the account. Held through the snapshot, a full giveback spends $3,000 of the next $4,000 hole. Book the majority. Leave a runner that is small beside $4,000. Overnight holds are allowed. A funded weekend hold needs the swing add-on, and a Sunday gap is the new day starting early.
A funded two-minute block surrounds red-folder news. During the evaluation the print is allowed, and the fill still counts. A 1.00 lot gold stop that runs from 50 pips to 150 pips costs about $1,500 rather than $500. That extra $1,000 is a quarter of the day from slippage alone. The 2,000-message cap is a separate failure if a 2.50 lot trail edits every tick through New York.
Flatten the $100,000 Dual Step book at $3,250
Equity Guard should cut Dual Step near $3,250, leaving $750 before the official $4,000. Seven planned $500 losses would be $3,500, so the guard fires before that seventh full loser. Lightning should cut near $2,250 against its $3,000 day. The $8,000 floor is the lifetime problem. The day is the one you will actually hit if you keep clicking after $3,250.
Create a Venasri login and save 2.50 lots as the 20-pip FX default and 1.00 lot as the 50-pip gold default. A 60-pip gold stop at the same $500 unit is about 0.83 lots. A 70-pip stop is about 0.71 lots. The 1.45 lot ceiling discussed for wick survival is a cap near $1,015, not the half-percent plan, and it does not belong on this risk card as a normal entry.
