Higher of balance or equity at 00:00 MT5 time
If closed balance is $100,000 and open gold is +$4,200, equity is $104,200. Five percent of $104,200 is $5,210. The hard daily floor sits near $98,990. A pullback through breakeven that dips about -$1,015 prints ~$98,985. Closed balance is still $100,000. High Stakes static max is 10% from initial, which you have not hit. The daily rule is the one that kills the swing. Hyper Growth's 3% daily makes the same recast even tighter. Bootcamp's 5% per step still uses the live equity path on the open ticket.
GMT+2 winter versus GMT+3 summer is not trivia. Missing the recast by one hour in late March is a classic fail. Weekend holding is permitted, which is exactly when traders leave the +$4,200 runner 'for Monday' and discover a Monday breach. Scaling to $4,000,000 multiplies the dollar gap between 'I was up' and the recast floor.
Bank the runner before Israel midnight, keep the 0.5% day
Venasri tracks closed balance and peak floating equity every 3 seconds. Before 00:00 MT5 time it can lock TP1/TP2 so unrealized gains become closed balance. That also locks in a 0.5% qualifying day on High Stakes instead of hoping the swing survives until London. start free on Venasri on the High Stakes login so the 23:50 job is automatic. Many The5ers traders sit in London or New York. 00:00 GMT+2 is 22:00 or 17:00/18:00 there, easy to treat as 'still afternoon.'
Holding through news is allowed. Holding an unbanked +$4,200 through midnight is a different rule. Do not confuse them.
3-second loop, legal trail, Bootcamp SL still on
Telegram /close is the manual override at 23:55 server time. Use it to flatten, not to scratch every +0.4R winner all week.
Swing is allowed. Unbanked equity is not a qualifying day.
Macro swing confluence is a good The5ers fit: few messages, weekend hold allowed, D1/H4/W1 zones. It is a bad fit if you never convert floating profit before 00:00 MT5 time. Rule: if floating profit is more than 1% of equity inside 30 minutes of midnight, bank at least TP1. If the swing is red into midnight, consider flattening so tomorrow does not inherit a hole plus a recast.
A qualifying 0.5% day is closed profit, not a hopeful floating number. If you need that day, close enough to print +$500 before the recast rather than riding a +$4,200 open that can vanish and breach.
