The cluster versus a $5,000 UTC+3 daily cap
Phase 1 is 8%, Phase 2 is 5%, minimum 3 trading days. Revenge clusters fail traders who were on pace because the daily cap is tighter than the 10% static max on Standard. You can sit at +6.2% of an 8% target at 09:50 UTC+3 and still be breached at 10:12. 2-Step Pro tightens max loss to 6%. 1-Step daily is 4% ($4,000). Zero Instant trails. None of those models forgive a stack.
Funded 5-minute news windows are not a revenge lane
start free on Venasri on the evaluation login, not after Tuesday Payday. The detector should already have a sample before you repay the $399 fee. Third-party EAs are allowed as trade and risk managers here. Full automated entry bots need proof you own the source. A risk-manager path is the clean FundingPips story for this guard.
Flatten at 4.25% before equity recasts the next floor
Wire the login on MT5 ZeroMQ Bridge. If retcode 10016 hits on a gold recovery ticket, STOPLEVEL clamp-and-retry still attaches a stop. A naked revenge fill on FundingPips MT5 is how $5,000 disappears without a journal note that looks like a method. If any of those recovery tickets are still floating at 00:00 UTC+3, tomorrow's 5% is measured from a higher equity peak, which is a second trap on a different page.
Three minimum days is not a reason to force the afternoon
If you already passed Phase 1 and are in the 5% Phase 2, shrink risk to 0.25%. The daily cap is still $5,000 on Standard, but the remaining target is smaller, which is how Phase 2 revenge looks rational until it is not. On 1-Step, treat 3.25% as the flatten floor because the official daily is 4%.
