Daily loss: the rule that kills the most accounts
The5ers lets you lose up to 5% in a single day. If your equity (floating included) touches that floor, the account is gone — even if it recovers afterwards. It's the limit that quietly blows up the most accounts, because one big trade or a bad-day streak is enough.
Maximum drawdown (10% static)
The5ers's total loss cap is 10%. Being static, the floor doesn't rise when you win: it's always measured against the initial balance. That's good — it gives you room as you grow.
Consistency rule
No es un cap %, sino: mínimo 3 días PROFITABLES (≥0.5% cada uno). Evita pasar de un saque.
Prohibited strategies
- hedging entre cuentas
- arbitraje
