The floor is $50 past a single bad day
Daily loss is $250. Maximum loss is $300. Equity at $9,700 ends the book, whether the $300 is static or trailing. A day that loses $200, which is four $50 stops, leaves the daily line intact and also leaves the floor intact. A day that loses the full $250 leaves one more $50 mistake in the life of the account. Slip on that next trade is the breach.
Thirty percent of the $600 Phase 1 target is $180. A $200 green day is already over the share and still under the loss line if the sign had been red. The evaluation minimum is 7 days, so the average path is about $86 a day. Sign up on Venasri with $180 written down as a stop-for-profit, not only $250 as a stop-for-loss.
0.25 lots is exact, and one micro Nasdaq is already too much
A 20-pip stop at $10 a pip needs 0.25 lots to risk $50. Gold needs 0.10 lots on a 50-pip stop. Both are round, which is why traders then pick 0.30 lots and call it close. At 0.30 lots the FX stop is $60, a 20 percent raise. One micro Nasdaq at $2 a point with a 60-point stop is $120, more than two units and almost half of the day. A 25-point stop on that micro is $50 and will not survive the cash open.
One micro Dow at $0.50 a point fits a 100-point stop at exactly $50. That is the index expression of this plan. Bot controls should cap cash risk at $50 and should not treat the word micro as a synonym for small.
Two moderate days can kill a floor the daily line survived
Day one loses $200. Day two loses $150. Neither day hit $250. The total is $350, which is past the $300 floor. The daily rule was respected twice and the account is still over, because the maximum is only $50 wider than a single full day. This is the math people miss when they reset emotionally at 4:00 PM CT and treat each session as a fresh $10,000 life.
Intraday trailing makes the same total happen inside one winner. An open high $300 above the start, given all the way back, can tag the trail. Static keeps the floor at $9,700 from the beginning and is the kinder choice on a balance this tight. Either choice still requires a flat book before 4:00 PM CT.
Flatten near $175 and stop adding near $150 of profit
Equity Guard at 1.75 percent is $175. Three and a half units of $50 fit under it. The official $250 line would allow five full losses with nothing left for slip. The earlier flatten is the one that leaves the $300 floor with something other than $50 of dust. On an intraday contract, a $150 giveback from the high is half the trail and a sensible second trigger.
The profit ceiling near $150, under the $180 share, keeps a good morning from becoming the day that raises a $600 target. Be flat before the CME close. A $10,000 account does not have a weekend experiment in it.
