The rules you're trading against
To pass The5ers High Stakes you need to hit the 8% profit target, never breach the static maximum loss, and stay under the 5% daily loss limit, across at least 3 days.
A 10% maximum drawdown with a 5% daily loss limit and an 8% profit target on the High Stakes program.
Where most traders slip
The fastest way out is the 5% daily loss limit: a short losing streak at the wrong size. The drawdown gets the patient ones; the daily limit gets the impatient ones.
- →Keep per-trade risk small and consistent: the 5% day is the line most traders breach first.
- →Three trading days is the minimum; spread your entries rather than forcing the target in one session.
