5 minutes on funded, 5% daily on every stage
The detector is opening or holding unhedged high-leverage positions inside the 2-to-30 minute window surrounding Forex Factory red-folder events (CPI, NFP, FOMC, BoE, ECB). On FundingPips Funded stage, profits inside a 5-minute window can be restricted or deducted. During evaluation the PDF is quieter, which is why traders practice the straddle on Phase 1 and then lose the funded payout. The 5% daily still applies on every stage. A slipped gold stop does not ask whether you are in Phase 1 or funded.
Math: 4.00 lots of XAUUSD, 30-pip planned stop, about $1,200 risk. Liquidity vacuum fills 65 pips worse, -95 pips, about -$3,800, which is 76% of a $5,000 Standard daily cap in 200 milliseconds. 1-Step daily is 4% ($4,000). That one fill is almost the entire 1-Step day. 2-Step Pro's 6% max is not a cushion for a second straddle.
30-minute blackout is the FundingPips-safe default
Third-party risk-manager EAs are allowed. A news-straddle entry bot you do not own will fail both the source-ownership test and the funded news rule. Keep Venasri in the risk-manager lane: blackout, stops, flatten. Do not add a CPI binary bot.
If you are already in, flatten, do not straddle the other side

UTC+3 calendar, not your wall clock
Zero Instant 45% consistency also hates a lucky CPI day that is 70% of cycle profit. Even if the funded 5-minute rule does not confiscate it, the consistency score can stall On-Demand. You do not need CPI to print 8%. You need 3 days of process. Let the 30-minute gate make that true.
