The5ers — daily loss limit

Rules read from The5ers's own documentation on 2026-07-31 · rules/the5ers

The5ers sets a daily loss limit of 5% ($2,500) at every account size PropSurvival's corpus carries for this program (50k, 100k), measured from day_start_balance balance. Breaching it ends the evaluation — the account fails.
