As % of the balance (for example 0.8) or in R (for example 1.5).

As % of the balance (for example 0.5) or in R (usually 1).

Average per trading day. Decimals work: 0.5 is one trade every two days.

How many closed trades are behind your win rate. With it we also show the result at the lower end of its interval.

Notes on the The5ers · High Stakes rules

  • Daily loss: 5 % below the higher of the previous day's closing balance or equity (help.the5ers.com page).
  • Needs 3 days each closing at least 0.5 % of the initial balance in gain; the simulator counts any day with a non-zero return, so it is optimistic here.
  • No trading from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news; not simulated.

Notes on the The5ers · Hyper Growth rules

  • The 3 % daily limit suspends trading for the day instead of ending the account; not simulated.
  • Static stop-out at 6 %: stated on The5ers' blog, not on the rules page.
  • The rules page table asks for 3 days that close in gain, while its text says there is no minimum days requirement; the simulator uses none (optimistic if the table applies).
  • Unlimited time.

Notes on the The5ers · Bootcamp rules

  • No daily limit during the evaluation steps; static loss stated on The5ers' blog.
  • No position may risk more than 2 % of the balance at its stop loss; not simulated.
  • Unlimited time, but each level is reachable for 48 hours after the previous one.

Frequently asked questions

What target and limits does High Stakes have?

According to The5ers' page read on 2026-09-25: a target of 10 % in phase 1 and 5 % in phase 2; a maximum daily loss of 5 % of the start-of-day balance; a maximum total loss of 10 %, static; at least 3 trading days; no time limit.

What about Hyper Growth and Bootcamp?

According to The5ers' page read on 2026-09-25, Hyper Growth: a 10 % target; daily loss limit not simulated; a maximum total loss of 6 %, static; no minimum days; no time limit; the page also states a 3 % daily limit that suspends trading for the day instead of ending the account, and the calculator does not simulate it. Bootcamp: a target of 6 % in each of the 3 phases; daily loss limit not simulated; a maximum total loss of 5 %, static; no minimum days; no time limit; the calculator chains the three steps. The5ers' blog states the total loss of both.

Does the calculator count minimum days the way The5ers does?

Not quite. According to The5ers' page read on 2026-09-25, High Stakes asks for 3 days that each close at least 0.5 % of the initial balance in gain; the calculator counts any day with trades as a trading day, so it is optimistic there.

Does it apply The5ers' news rule?

No. According to The5ers' page read on 2026-09-25, High Stakes allows no trading from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news; declared daily figures cannot simulate that.

What it computes and assumes

  • Each synthetic day has your trades per day; across them, the share that wins your average win is your win rate and the rest lose your average loss. With decimals, some days have one more trade than others so the average is yours.
  • The report's simulator resamples those days and checks every daily close: first the daily limit, then the total one and last the target with the minimum days. Every day with trades counts as a trading day, even when it nets zero.
  • Every win and loss has the average size: no tails, slippage, costs or intraday floating loss. Real losses vary, so with a real history the limits are usually hit more often.
  • Trades are independent: no streaks longer than chance.
  • The rules are those each firm posted on the date shown; they may have changed.
  • We keep your figures in no database or file; since they travel in the link, the server's access log may hold the address requested. It is a calculation with declared figures, not an audit or a forecast.

With your real history

With your real history, the simulator uses your actual days, the floating loss at each daily close and the costs: upload your file. The report resamples your own days with the firm's rules, compares the published firms and tries the sizes.
