Why 0.45R winners cannot pay an 8% FundingPips target
The detector is closing winners well before TP1 (realized R under 0.6R) while losers travel to the planned stop or worse. Prospect theory is the neuro layer: lock the green, gamble the red. The dollar layer on FundingPips Standard is blunt. Thirty +$225 winners and twenty -$500 losers across 50 trades equal -$3,250. That is 32.5% of the $10,000 static max and a slow bleed that never prints the 8% Phase 1. You can have a 60% accuracy screenshot and still fail.
Minimum 3 trading days tempts the scratch habit because one more green day 'counts.' The evaluator counts dollars, not day color. Zero Instant and On-Demand 45% consistency make the scratch habit worse: you then need one outsized day to catch up, which trips the consistency score. Standard evaluation has no consistency cap. Do not import Zero habits onto Standard just because you intend to pick On-Demand later.
TP1 at 1.5R is the FundingPips banking rung
Session scalp uses 50% off at 1.5R then a 3.0R trail. That matches FundingPips gold and NAS100 well if you stay inside the London/NY window. Do not override TP1 because you 'need just $400 more today.' That override is the proximity trap on another page.
Partials without a 2,000-request storm
Venasri Equity Guard still polls every 3 seconds. Disposition traders who scratch winners often leave losers unmanaged into the UTC+3 recast. Flatten at 4.25% so a held loser cannot finish the daily after you already gave back the winners by hand.
Hide P&L on the funded 80% to 100% split path
Tuesday Payday at 60%, bi-weekly at 80%, On-Demand at 90% with consistency, monthly at 100%: none of those splits repair a negative expectancy book. Hide the dollar column. If you touch a winner before 1.5R, that is the strike. After a scratched winner, the next loser is usually held 'to make it back,' which is how -1.0R stays -1.0R.
Weekend holds are allowed on selected models. Do not scratch a swing at +0.4R on Friday because you fear the gap, then hold a red swing into Sunday. That is the disposition effect with a calendar. Let TP1 bank before the weekend, then trail. If you cannot let a runner run, you do not have an 8% process. You have a 0.45R hobby.
