The $16,000 target beside a $20,000 floor
Phase 1 is $16,000. The static High Stakes maximum is $20,000. The target and the floor are $4,000 apart. A plan that treats $200,000 like spare margin will cross $20,000 before $16,000 is booked. Phase 2 is 5%, or $10,000, which equals the daily loss. One full down day in Phase 2 removes the phase. Equity Guard on this login is a $10,000 daily problem, not a $250 problem copied from a smaller card.
Three days of at least 0.5% are required on High Stakes. On $200,000 that day is $1,000, the same cash as one 0.50% trade. You need three of those days, and the minimum trading-day count is three. A single $16,000 session does not satisfy the day filter.
What $1,000 of risk looks like in the platform
The exact risk is $1,000 per trade. The exact lot is the MT5 volume that loses $1,000 if the stop prints. A wide index stop and a tight gold stop are different lots for that same $1,000. Importing a lot from a $50,000 worksheet multiplies risk by four and can turn one idea into a large piece of the $10,000 day.
Hyper Growth at this balance, if offered on the same notional, would be a 3% day of $6,000 and a 6% maximum of $12,000. Bootcamp's 5% step cap is $10,000, and it still rejects a naked order. Manual Trade Guard is mandatory in spirit on Bootcamp because the firm already made the stop a rule.
The $20,000 scale step is also the maximum loss
High Stakes doubles on every 10% milestone toward $4,000,000. Ten percent of $200,000 is $20,000. That is the same figure as the static maximum loss. The scale step and the death line are equal dollars in opposite directions. Payouts are bi-weekly at 80% to 100%, with a monthly salary only at the top rungs. Create a Venasri account and write $20,000 on both lines so they are not confused in a payout week.
The $100,000 fee is $495. It is not a $200,000 fee, and it is not a credit against the $16,000 target. Daily loss still resets at 00:00 MT5 time from the higher of balance or equity, GMT+2 or GMT+3. A $1,000 open winner at that stamp is one risk unit added to the next base.
News, weekends, and copy rules at this size
Weekend holding is permitted. A $200,000 index hold into Sunday is a legal position with a large dollar gap against a $10,000 day. High Stakes allows news holds and blocks new orders in the 2 minute window around a red-folder release. The dollar size does not buy an exception.
Self-owned EAs are allowed on MT5. Signals shared across unrelated users are prohibited. Anti-hyperactivity on Bootcamp is easier to trip when the book is large and the trail is noisy. The $10,000 daily line can be intact while the activity rule is already broken. Stage modifications. Do not spray them.
