The5ers Daily Loss Limit, Explained
Rules verified 2026-07-09 · official source
Yes — The5ers enforces a daily loss limit, evaluated on equity (open positions count), resetting at 0:00 Athens time.
How it works
The limit is a fixed dollar amount per account size, evaluated in real time on equity. Hitting it fails the account.
Max loss (10%) is STATIC / absolute — measured from your initial balance, it never trails.
| Plan | Daily loss limit |
|---|---|
| 50K High Stakes | $2,500 |
| 100K High Stakes | $5,000 |
| Stage 1 Evaluation ($25K) Bootcamp | $0 |
| Stage 2 Evaluation ($50K) Bootcamp | $0 |
| Stage 3 Evaluation ($75K) Bootcamp | $0 |
| 100K Bootcamp Funded | $3,000 |
| 10K Hyper Growth | $300 |
How traders actually breach it
Most daily-loss breaches aren't one big trade — they're revenge sequences: three losers, size up to "get it back", and the fourth trade crosses the line. The limit resets tomorrow; the account doesn't.
TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "$180 of daily-loss room left" beats finding out from a breach email. Tracking is free for your first account.
