The5ers XAUUSD Gold trading strategy and lot limits so a COMEX wick spares the 5% day

Direct Technical Answer

5% daily loss is the cash limit a COMEX open can spend on The5ers if the gold stop is wider than 70 pips in the The5ers XAUUSD Gold trading strategy and lot limits. Size on $100,000 stays between 0.80 and 1.45 lots, and a 0.10 move is priced at $10 per pip.

Gold on The5ers is allowed to sit through Sunday. That permission is why the lot cap and the pip cap matter more, not less. A wick you do not have to flatten on Friday is a wick that can print while you are away, and the 5% day will still invoice it.

The wick versus a $5,000 day

On $100,000 the flagship day is $5,000, from the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 MT5 time. If you start a free Venasri account, compare the gold ticket's cash risk with what remains of that $5,000 after midnight has already marked any open profit. A stop beyond 70 pips is outside the structural cap that is supposed to keep one COMEX print from taking the day.

The one-step day is 3%, or $3,000. Hyper Growth stops at a static 6% maximum, $6,000 on $100,000. High Stakes can lose $10,000 in total and only $5,000 today. Size gold for today. Bootcamp's step cap is $5,000 of static room and still wants the stop on the ticket.

The lot cap and the $10 pip note

Stay between 0.80 and 1.45 standard lots on the $100,000 challenge. In this The5ers note, a 0.10 price move is quoted at $10 per pip. Those are constraints, not a suggestion to sit at 1.45 with a 70-pip stop every session. Check the dollars of the click you are about to place. The corner of the range is not automatically cleared.

A 0.50% unit on this balance is $500. If the gold lot risks more than that, you have left the pass-plan unit even if you are inside 1.45 lots. Equity Guard at 4.25% is the High Stakes lock under the 5% day, $4,250. It is the wrong lock for a 3% day.

Weekend gold is allowed and still billed

You may hold gold on High Stakes, Bootcamp, and Hyper Growth. The triple swap on Wednesday and the gap when Sunday opens are both inside the 5% daily loss. Check the position before the MT5 weekend rather than discovering the gap in the breach email. High Stakes can keep a position through news and still cannot add a new order in the 2-minute window on each side of a red-folder release.

A gold float that is ahead at midnight raises Monday's floor. The COMEX open then spends the raised day. Partials at TP1 through TP4 before the clock are how you keep the hold without donating the mark-up. Three High Stakes days of at least 0.5% can be given back by one uncapped gap.

Bootcamp gold is a stop problem first

The lot band does not override the mandatory stop. Open MT5 bot control on MT5 and attach it in milliseconds, with breakeven and the four partials. MetaAPI Cloud is the other path. Shared copy signals are prohibited. A gold signal borrowed from an unrelated user is a banned copy, not a strategy.

The $495 fee is the $100,000 price. Doubling up to $4,000,000 on 10% milestones does not raise the 0.80 to 1.45 band. Rebuild the lot when the balance changes. Anti-hyperactivity rules still apply if you trail the gold stop all day. The platform list does not grow past MT5.

Frequently Asked Questions: The5ers XAUUSD Gold trading strategy and lot limits so a COMEX wick spares the 5% day

What gold lot cap does The5ers publish for $100,000?

0.80 to 1.45 standard lots, with a structural stop of 50 to 70 pips. A 0.10 move is priced at $10 per pip. The aim is to keep a COMEX open from consuming the 5% day, which is $5,000 on this balance. Check the cash of the exact click.

Can The5ers gold stay open over the weekend?

Yes on High Stakes, Bootcamp, and Hyper Growth. The Sunday gap and Wednesday triple-swap still count in the 5% daily loss. Equity ahead of balance at 00:00 MT5 time raises the next floor before that gap prints.

Does Bootcamp change the The5ers gold stop rule?

On Bootcamp the gold ticket must carry a hard stop or the position is already outside the rules. A gold lot inside 0.80 to 1.45 without a stop is still a violation. The step maximum is a static 5%. High Stakes uses a static 10% and a 5% day.

Should the 4.25% Equity Guard lock be used on every The5ers gold account?

Use it under the 5% High Stakes day, where it is $4,250 on $100,000. The one-step day is 3%, or $3,000, and Hyper Growth's maximum is a static 6%. A 4.25% lock is too high for the 3% day.
