Human dragging still counts as FundingPips server requests
The 2,000-request ceiling does not ask whether a modify came from MQL5 or from a mouse. Each SL or TP change is a server message. Three changes in 60 seconds is the Venasri impulsive detector. Sixty messages in a minute is how you look like the tick-trailing EAs those desks already treat as abuse. Passing Phase 1 with that habit just delays the funded review. Full automated entry bots already need source-ownership proof. A drag-happy human plus an extra trailer EA is the fastest way to look like a bot you cannot prove you wrote.
Winners also die at +0.3R because the line was pulled in. That expectancy leak is independent of the request cap. You can stay under 2,000 messages and still fail the 8% Phase 1 on clipped runners, then miss Tuesday Payday because the book never compounded.
Stay near 80 messages, not 2,000, on the Dubai server
If you must manage by hand, one modify toward price after TP1 is the budget. A 60-second burst is the strike. Combine it with overtrading above 10 trades and the request tape plus the 5% daily usually fail together. Zero Instant 45% consistency also hates a day of clipped scratches that later needs one outsized winner to catch up.
10016 retries without a modify storm
Venasri Equity Guard still polls every 3 seconds. Micro-management often happens while floating equity is already sliding toward the UTC+3 daily floor. The flatten should win that race, not the next drag. On 1-Step the official daily is 4%, so the same panic-edit window is shorter in dollars ($4,000 versus $5,000).
Funded 5-minute news versus Challenge habits
On funded accounts, a 5-minute news window applies. Traders who micro-manage into that window both risk profit deductions and spam modifies as the spread blows. Flatten before the window. Weekend holding is allowed on selected models, but you should not tick-trail a Sunday gap. Structural ratchets at bar close are enough, and they keep the 2,000-request tape clean overnight.
If Venasri already fired a 60-second strike today, treat it as a lock: no more manual modifies. Let the guard own the ticket until 00:00 UTC+3. On-Demand 90% split with a 45% consistency score is a poor match for a day of 40 tiny clipped exits.
