High Stakes, Bootcamp, and Hyper Growth are not reskins
High Stakes is the 2-Step: 5% daily, static 10% max, 8% and 5% targets, three minimum days, overnight and weekend holding allowed, bi-weekly payouts. The distinctive pass filter is three profitable days of at least 0.5% of initial balance each ($500 on $100K), which rewards repeatable sessions instead of a single 8% spike. Scaling doubles capital every 10% until $4,000,000. Bootcamp is the cheap three-step cousin with a static 5% max per step, mandatory Stop-Loss on every position, and a hyperactivity watch. Hyper Growth is instant capital with 3% daily and 6% static max, paying on every 10% target milestone rather than on a bi-weekly calendar.
Copy-trading signals shared across unrelated users are banned. Risk-management EAs and self-owned EAs are permitted on MT5. If you start a free Venasri account, keep High Stakes and Bootcamp as separate profiles. A Bootcamp fill without a hard Stop-Loss is a compliance fail even when the 5% daily line is untouched. High Stakes will not fail you for that naked ticket, but the same naked gold lot can still spend the 5% daily hole at the 00:00 MT5 server snapshot (GMT+2 winter, GMT+3 summer).
News straddles, not news holds, are the High Stakes ban
The $100K High Stakes fee is $495. Daily cash line is $5,000, static floor $10,000, Phase 1 $8,000, Phase 2 $5,000. Profit split starts at 80% and can reach 100% plus salary at later scale rungs. Because allocation doubles on 10% steps, a trader who risks 1% per idea on the first $100K is taking a very different career-risk stance than a trader who risks 0.35% with the $4,000,000 rung in mind. Size for the rung you want to keep, not for the rung you just bought.
Bootcamp Stop-Loss law versus High Stakes equity at midnight
Bootcamp's trap is a missing Stop-Loss. The desk wants a hard SL on every trade. Forgetting it is not a style choice. Hyper Growth's trap is the 6% lifetime and 3% daily numbers on instant capital: three 1% losers in a row and the instant book is close to done. High Stakes' trap is the higher-of day-start balance or floating equity at 00:00 MT5 time. A swing hold that looks like a gift at 23:50 can raise Tuesday's 5% floor, then give it back into the new budget.
Three 0.5% days means you cannot pass High Stakes solely with one 8% Friday. You need three sessions that each clear $500 on $100K. Low-frequency swing traders should plan those days explicitly rather than hoping incidental closes scatter across the calendar. The rule is lighter than a 40% best-day cap, but it is still a calendar constraint.
Separate guards for High Stakes, Bootcamp, and Hyper Growth
On High Stakes $100K, park Venasri Equity Guard near $4,250 daily loss. On Hyper Growth, the daily official line is 3% ($3,000), so the guard belongs near $2,250. Bootcamp needs Manual Trade Guard attaching a Stop-Loss in milliseconds so the mandatory-SL rule is never a human memory test. Run that through the ZeroMQ MT5 Bridge on the same MT5 server The5ers already requires. The5ers is MT5-only, which simplifies the stack: no cTrader fork, no TradeLocker split brain.
24/7 MT5 Bot Control should block new orders and bracket straddles inside the 2-minute High Stakes news window while still allowing holds you already have on. That is a different news profile from firms that flatten everything. Do not reuse an FTMO Standard flatten-all news preset on The5ers High Stakes or you will exit legal holds and then fail the three 0.5% day pattern by chopping winners.
