Why $500 is both a day and a Bootcamp step
On High Stakes, $500 is the 5% daily loss. On Bootcamp, $500 is the static 5% maximum for the step. The same dollars, two different clocks. A High Stakes trader can lose $500 today and still have the $1,000 lifetime floor. A Bootcamp trader who loses $500 has finished that step. Equity Guard needs the product name, not only the balance.
Phase 1 on High Stakes is $800, which is 8%. Phase 2 is 5%, or $500. The Phase 2 target and the daily loss are the same cash figure, so a Phase 2 account that gives back one full day has erased the phase target. Minimum trading days are three, and three of those days must each make at least 0.5%, which is $50.
The $50 trade and the lot that risks it
0.50% of $10,000 is $50. That is the risk per trade in this plan, and it is also one qualifying High Stakes day. The exact MT5 lot is the volume that loses $50 if the stop is hit. It is not a fixed lot copied from a $100,000 video. Ten such losses equal the $500 daily line, which means one oversized ticket can do the work of several planned trades.
Hyper Growth on $10,000 uses a 3% daily loss, $300, and a 6% maximum, $600. A $50 trade is a larger share of a $300 day than of a $500 day. If you bought Hyper Growth, do not keep the High Stakes mental model. Manual Trade Guard still matters most on Bootcamp, where a missing stop is a breach by itself.
Floating equity at GMT+3 on this balance
The daily line resets at 00:00 MT5 time, GMT+2 in winter and GMT+3 in summer, from the higher of balance or equity. A $50 open winner is one full risk unit sitting in the midnight base. Leaving several of those open into the stamp raises tomorrow's 5% floor. Weekend holding is allowed, so Friday is when this choice shows up.
High Stakes allows the position through news and blocks new orders in the 2 minute window around a red-folder release. The $100,000 fee is $495 and is not this account's fee. Open a Venasri account with the $10,000 numbers stored on their own, including the $800 target and the $1,000 floor.
The first double is another $1,000
A 10% milestone on $10,000 is $1,000, which is also the High Stakes maximum loss. Making the milestone and touching the floor are the same distance in dollars, in opposite directions. The doubling path runs toward $4,000,000 only if the $1,000 floor stays intact. Payouts on High Stakes are bi-weekly at 80% to 100%.
Shared copy signals are prohibited. Self-owned EAs are allowed on MT5. Anti-hyperactivity still applies on Bootcamp. A $10,000 book that trails a stop on every tick can fail the activity rule before either $500 line prints. Stage the stop once and let the $50 risk be the only risk that matters.
