High Stakes 5%, Hyper Growth 3%, Bootcamp 5% per step
High Stakes daily loss is 5% of the higher of day-start balance or equity at 00:00 MT5 server time. Lifetime max is a static 10% from initial. Hyper Growth daily is 3% with a 6% static max, and payouts hitch to 10% milestones rather than to a bi-weekly clock. Bootcamp uses a 5% static max per step, which is a much shorter ladder: one ugly step ends that cheap exam. Do not feed a shared $5,000 daily card to all three products.
On $100K High Stakes: $5,000 daily, $10,000 static max, $8,000 then $5,000 targets, three $500 days. On $100K Hyper Growth: $3,000 daily, $6,000 max. Convert GMT+2/GMT+3 with the DST switch so your flatten alarm is not an hour late in March or October. The5ers will not delay a breach because you used winter offset in July.
Three 0.5% days versus one fat daily winner
A 6% Monday does not complete High Stakes. You still owe two more days of at least 0.5%. The daily calculator can look healthy while the day-count calculator is short. Spread 0.6% to 1.0% sessions rather than hunting an 8% hero day that then forces you to nibble tiny closes for the other two days under a raised equity floor. That mix is how people pass the profit target and stall on the 0.5% pattern, or the reverse.
News straddles inside two minutes of a red folder are banned on High Stakes even though holds are allowed. A straddle that stops on both sides can spend daily loss twice in one print. If you must trade the number, you are in the wrong The5ers product. If you hold, size the hold so a CPI wick cannot consume $5,000 on $100K. You can start a free Venasri account and log which of your historical days would have counted as 0.5% closes.
Mandatory SL on Bootcamp is a drawdown rule in disguise
Bootcamp does not wait for 5% daily if the trade has no Stop-Loss. The compliance fail is instant. Your daily calculator should therefore include a pre-trade check: SL present, SL distance in dollars, SL dollars versus remaining daily hole. A 2% gold stop on Bootcamp is already 40% of a 5% step max. High Stakes can absorb that distance on paper, Bootcamp cannot. Hyper Growth's 3% daily makes a 1.2% stop a serious spend.
Self-owned EAs may run. Shared signal copiers may not. Server-side hyperactivity and missing SL are the Bootcamp pair of non-dollar kills. Count them in the same dashboard as the 5% line so you do not treat rule risk and cash risk as separate hobbies.
One MT5 bridge, three flatten numbers
Use the ZeroMQ MT5 Bridge once, then give each The5ers program its own Venasri Equity Guard threshold: about $4,250 daily on High Stakes $100K, about $2,250 on Hyper Growth $100K, and a tighter step-aware number on Bootcamp that also refuses to send a market order until an SL is attached. The 3-second equity poll still matters on High Stakes because the higher-of midnight rule can move the official line overnight.
24/7 MT5 Bot Control should allow High Stakes holds through news and should block only new orders and bracket straddles in the 2-minute window. That preset is unique to The5ers. Reusing an FTMO Standard or FundingPips funded flatten will cut legal High Stakes holds and scramble the three 0.5% days you still need. Scale risk down as the book doubles toward $4,000,000 so a 5% daily on $400K does not feel like a 5% daily on $100K in your stomach while it is four times the cash.
