Twice the lot against a $2,000 day
The sizing band on $100,000 is $350 to $650. A ticket above 2 times that plan is the leak that can finish a 2% day, which is $2,000, without a long losing streak. The bot should refuse the oversized lot instead of waiting for the second click. The other leaks are the cluster of three or more trades inside 5 minutes after a loss, a wider stop, 60-second edits, and averaging down.
There are five leaks in the list. The 2% day is why the size leak is first on this firm. On a 5% day the same oversize might leave a remainder. Here the remainder is thin. Equity Guard at 1.25% is the cash backstop if one oversized ticket still gets through.
A wider stop after 3:00 PM CT is two problems
Widening the stop increases the dollars. Doing it near 3:10 PM CT also risks being open at the flatten. Averaging down adds a second position in a loser that should already be on its way to flat. 60-second edits can pile modifications into CME Globex order-to-fill limits. The firm did not publish a 2,000 modification number. The efficiency limit is still real.
The end-of-day trail is $3,000 on $100,000. A revenge cluster that loses less than $2,000 can still leave a damaged day, and a green revenge day above $3,000 on a $6,000 target breaks the 50% rule. You can fail by winning.
Tilt does not get an exception at 3:10
The book is flat before 3:10 PM CT even if you are mid-click. A revenge entry that cannot be flat in time is a breach of its own. Create a Venasri account and put the flatten on a clock the tilt cannot argue with. The new session at 5:00 PM CT is not a second chance to hold the loser.
News is permitted in the evaluation. Live funded accounts use Tier-1 flatten windows. A revenge click into a live news window stacks two rules. Evaluation and live are not the same permission.
Five payout days versus a revenge day
Payouts want five winning days of at least $200, then up to 50% of balance, with 100% of the first $10,000 and 90% after. A revenge day that makes $3,800 can break consistency and delay that path. A revenge day that loses the $2,000 line ends it. Neither outcome is a $200 building day.
Minimum evaluation days are two. That short count tempts a trader to force the pass in an afternoon. The 10 to 16 trade plan at 0.50% is the alternative. The $99 monthly fee on $100,000 is cheap next to a rebuilt combine, and it is not a reason to double the lot.
