The green test fails first
Daily loss is 2.5 percent, $625. Maximum loss is 3 percent, $750. Equity at $24,250 is the end. Those are the red numbers, and they are not the first numbers a good trader will hit. Thirty percent of $1,500 is $450. A $500 morning is a consistency problem and a comfortable distance from a $625 hole. The 7-day minimum means that morning was supposed to be one seventh of the work, about $214, not a third of the target.
If the $500 day stands, total profit needs to reach about $1,667 before that day is only 30 percent of the total. The published hurdle was $1,500. You added a tax. Open a Venasri account and put $450 in the session notes above $625.
0.62 lots, 0.25 gold, or one micro at 60 points
A 20-pip FX stop at $125 wants 0.62 lots, about $124. The tidy 0.70 lot click is $140. Gold at 0.25 lots with a 50-pip stop is $125 exactly. One micro Nasdaq at $2 a point with a 60-point stop is $120, essentially the unit. A 100-point stop on that micro is $200, a quiet raise. One E-mini at 60 points is $1,200, almost twice the day. There is no reason to click it on this balance.
Four losses at $125 are $500, inside the $625 day. Five are $625 exactly, with nothing left for slip. Two days at $500 would be $1,000, through the $750 floor, without either day looking insane. Bot controls should stop the session at three losses or at $375 down, and at $400 up.
Intraday trailing has $750 of total life
Static keeps the floor at $24,250. Intraday trailing follows an equity high with only $750 of slack. A winner that shows $800 open profit has already walked the floor above the start. A giveback to a small green number can breach. End-of-day trailing waits for 4:00 PM CT, which is also the flat deadline. You should be out before that mark anyway, so the trail should see closed profit, not a position you meant to babysit.
The fee and the split, 80 to 95 percent later, are not inputs to today's lot. Day-one withdrawal after a buffer is a funded event. This evaluation is seven days, a $450 best-day idea, and a $750 floor.
Flatten near $438 and bank the day near $400
Equity Guard at 1.75 percent is about $437.50. That is roughly three and a half units, inside the $625 day, with room before the $750 floor gets involved. A round $500 flatten is a bit later and still better than using $625 as the stop. Pair it with a profit stop near $400 so the $450 share is not your first warning.
Be flat before 4:00 PM CT. A $400 open winner into the close is most of the consistency budget and, on an intraday trail, a moving floor. Close it. The remaining days can still add the rest of the $1,500 without one of them owning the story.
