How The5ers measures the daily loss
The daily limit is where most challenges are lost. What counts, from which balance, and when it resets:
- Hyper Growth (1-Step): counted from the higher of balance or equity at the daily reset, resets at 00:00 server (MT5), hitting it pauses trading until the next day instead of failing the account.
- Pro Growth (1-Step): counted from the higher of balance or equity at the daily reset, resets at 00:00 server (MT5).
- High Stakes (2-Step): counted from the higher of balance or equity at the daily reset, resets at 00:00 server (MT5).
- Bootcamp (3-Step): no daily loss limit.
Size your The5ers trades before you place them
The The5ers calculator turns your balance, risk per trade and stop loss into a lot size, so a single loss stays inside the daily limit. It is free and works without an account.
