The5ers

The5ers is a proprietary trading evaluation company established in 2016. The brand is operated by Five Percent Online Ltd and offers several programs for traders with different levels of experience, account-size preferences, and risk profiles.

The company’s main CFD programs are the three-step Bootcamp program, the two-step High Stakes program, and the one-step Growth program, which includes Pro Growth and Hyper Growth options. The5ers also operates a separate futures trading program.

All trading activity conducted through The5ers Hub takes place in a simulated environment. According to the company’s current disclaimer, the funds provided through its Evaluation and Funded accounts are fictitious and cannot be used for actual market trading. Eligible traders may nevertheless receive monetary payouts based on their simulated trading performance.

Depending on the selected program, traders can begin with account sizes ranging from $2,500 to $250,000. Scaling limits also vary by program. High Stakes accounts can scale to $500,000, while Bootcamp and Growth accounts can scale to as much as $4 million.

Profit splits generally begin between 50% and 80% and may increase to 100% as the trader progresses through the applicable scaling plan.

The5ers is an established proprietary trading evaluation company that has operated since 2016. The brand is operated by Five Percent Online Ltd through corporate entities registered in the United Kingdom and Israel.

Corporate Information

Five Percent Online Ltd is registered in the United Kingdom under company number 12553363. Its registered office is Enstar House, 168 Praed Street, London, United Kingdom, W2 1RH.

The company also identifies an Israeli entity under company number 515864007, with a registered office at 2 Ha’tidhar Street, Raanana, Israel.

The5ers states that it operates as a proprietary trading firm but is not a custodian, exchange, financial institution, trading platform, fiduciary, or insurance business regulated as a financial-services provider.

Simulated Trading Environment

All trading activity conducted through The5ers Hub takes place in a simulated environment. The company states that the funds provided through Evaluation and Funded accounts are fictitious and cannot be used for actual trading.

Simulated results do not represent real market execution and may not account for factors such as actual liquidity, slippage, or market impact. Participation in an evaluation does not guarantee that a trader will qualify for a Funded account or receive a payout.

Payments and Identity Verification

The5ers processes payouts through Rise, cryptocurrency, bank transfer, or Hub Credits. Traders may be required to complete identity verification and provide payment details that match their The5ers account information.

Payout requests may be reviewed by the company’s Risk Team before approval. The company may request additional information when reviewing account activity or a withdrawal.

Trading Compliance

The5ers prohibits practices it considers abusive or inconsistent with genuine individual trading. These include arbitrage, high-frequency trading, tick scalping, coordinated trading, copy trading between traders, account sharing, account management services, and exploitation of technical or pricing errors.

The company may terminate accounts, reject payouts, and permanently restrict access when it determines that a trader has violated its rules.

Restricted Jurisdictions

The5ers does not provide its services in certain restricted jurisdictions. Its current list includes Israel, the Palestinian Territory, Russia, Belarus, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela, and several other countries and territories.

Traders should verify their eligibility directly with The5ers before purchasing a program because the restricted-jurisdiction list may change.

The5ers applies different risk limits and trading objectives to its Bootcamp, High Stakes, and Growth programs. Traders must follow both the numerical limits of their selected program and the company’s general rules on acceptable trading behavior.

High Stakes Rules

High Stakes has two evaluation phases. The New option has profit targets of 10% and 5%, while the Classic option has targets of 8% and 5%.

A 5% maximum daily loss and 10% maximum overall loss apply during the evaluation. Traders must complete three profitable days in each phase. A profitable day requires closed profit equal to at least 0.5% of the initial account balance.

The program offers leverage of up to 1:100. Funded accounts scale after reaching each 10% target and can grow to $500,000.

Bootcamp Rules

Bootcamp consists of three evaluation stages, each with a 6% profit target and 5% maximum loss limit. There is no daily loss limit during the evaluation stages.

The Funded account has a 4% maximum loss limit and a 3% daily pause. Reaching the daily pause prevents further trading until the next trading day but does not automatically terminate the account.

Bootcamp accounts use leverage of up to 1:30 and scale after each 5% funded-stage target.

Growth Rules

Growth has a one-step evaluation with a 10% profit target, a 3% daily loss limit, and a 6% maximum loss limit.

Growth accounts use leverage of up to 1:30. Depending on the selected option, the scaling structure follows either the Pro Growth or Hyper Growth path.

News Trading

Traders may hold positions through high-impact news events. However, orders cannot be executed during the period beginning two minutes before and ending two minutes after a designated high-impact release.

The5ers uses Forex Factory as its reference for high-impact events and applies the platform server time. Profit generated from trades executed during the restricted window may be deducted, while any resulting losses remain on the account.

Bracketing strategies that place buy and sell pending orders around a high-impact news release are prohibited.

Overnight and Weekend Holding

Holding positions overnight and over the weekend is permitted. However, holding index positions over the weekend may result in particularly high swap charges.

Expert Advisors

Expert Advisors are permitted if the trader owns the source code and the EA does not use a prohibited strategy.

An EA cannot copy another trader’s signals, perform tick scalping, use latency or reverse arbitrage, execute hedge arbitrage, conduct high-frequency trading, or use emulators.

Stealth stop-loss functionality is not permitted. Stop-loss orders must be visible on the trading platform.

Prohibited Trading Practices

The following practices are prohibited during both evaluation and funded stages:

• Arbitrage based on price discrepancies or platform errors
• Latency arbitrage
• Reverse arbitrage
• Hedge arbitrage
• High-frequency trading
• Tick scalping
• Bulk trading that generates excessive simultaneous orders
• News bracketing strategies
• Exploitation of incorrect or delayed prices
• Copy trading or coordinated trading between traders or accounts
• Third-party EAs used by multiple traders to place identical trades
• Expert Advisors for which the trader does not own the source code
• Account sharing or resale
• Account management and challenge-passing services
• Coordinated hedging across different prop firms
• Artificial distribution of one trade idea’s profit across multiple days
• Excessive server requests
• Materially inconsistent position sizes
• Overexposure to one instrument or correlated instruments
• Disproportionately speculative or gambling-like activity

Violation of these rules may result in account termination, cancellation of payouts, loss of refund eligibility, and permanent exclusion from The5ers.

Inactivity

Evaluation accounts expire after 30 consecutive days without trading activity.

High Stakes Funded accounts expire after 60 consecutive days without activity. Other Funded accounts remain subject to the inactivity conditions of their particular program.

The5ers provides access to a selection of simulated CFD instruments across forex, metals, indices, oil, and cryptocurrency markets. The available instruments and leverage may vary by program and platform.

Forex

The5ers offers major, minor, and selected exotic currency pairs.

High Stakes provides forex leverage of up to 1:100. Bootcamp and Growth accounts provide leverage of up to 1:30.

Metals

Available metals include gold and silver. Leverage and margin requirements depend on the account program and instrument specification.

Indices

The5ers provides major global stock-index CFDs. Index positions may be held overnight and over the weekend, but weekend holding can incur high swap charges.

Oil

Oil instruments are available through supported CFD accounts. The applicable contract specification, margin requirement, spread, and swap depend on the platform and account type.

Cryptocurrencies

The5ers provides cryptocurrency CFDs through supported accounts. Cryptocurrency trading follows the platform’s published trading hours and instrument specifications and should not be described as universally available 24/7.

Futures

The5ers also operates a separate futures evaluation program. Its futures instruments, platforms, fees, and rules are separate from the company’s CFD programs.

The5ers supports MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and TradingView for CFD trading. Platform availability depends on the trader’s region.

Non-US clients can use MetaTrader 5, cTrader, or TradingView. US-based clients can use TradingView. The platform selected at checkout cannot be changed after purchase.

cTrader carries an additional $10 platform fee and is not available for new US accounts.

MetaTrader 4 (MT4)

cTrader

cTrader provides desktop, web, and mobile access with advanced charting, order-management tools, and an interface designed for manual and algorithmic trading.

Selecting cTrader adds $10 to the program price. The choice is final after purchase, and cTrader is not available for new US-based accounts.

The5ers provides scaling programs, account analytics, educational materials, trading tools, Hub Credits, and an affiliate program. Available features depend on the selected funding program.

Scaling Plans

Scaling conditions vary by program.

High Stakes accounts scale after each 10% profit target. The initial profit split is 80% and can increase to 85%, 90%, and eventually 100%. High Stakes accounts can scale to $500,000.

Bootcamp Funded accounts scale after each 5% target. The profit split begins at 50% and may increase to 100%. Bootcamp accounts can scale to $4 million.

Growth accounts follow either the Pro Growth or Hyper Growth scaling structure. The initial profit split is 75%, increases at higher account levels, and can eventually reach 100%. Growth accounts can scale to $4 million.

Hub Credits

The5ers awards Hub Credits for selected program milestones. Hub Credits can be used toward the purchase of another account but cannot be withdrawn as cash.

Under the current High Stakes structure, completing Phase 1 provides Hub Credit equal to 10% of the eligible externally paid program fee. Completing Phase 2 provides an additional 20% Hub Credit.

Traders may also choose Hub Credits as a payout method without paying the 3.5% withdrawal commission applied to external payout methods.

Educational Resources

The5ers provides educational and trader-development resources through:

• The5ers Academy
• Live webinars
• Trading articles and market content
• Performance-coaching resources
• Economic calendar
• News sentiment tools
• Trading indicators
• Charts and instrument specifications

Trader Dashboard

The5ers Hub allows traders to monitor account performance, evaluation objectives, drawdown levels, purchases, Hub Credits, payouts, and account status.

Payout requests and their current approval status can also be viewed through the Hub.

Affiliate Program

The5ers operates an affiliate program for traders, educators, publishers, and content creators. Approved affiliates receive referral links and may earn commissions on qualifying purchases under the applicable affiliate terms.

The5ers offers one-step, two-step, and three-step evaluation programs. Pricing depends on the selected program, account size, option, region, and trading platform.

Bootcamp Pricing

Bootcamp uses a two-part payment structure. Traders pay a lower entry fee when joining and pay the remaining amount only after completing all three evaluation stages.

The current $20,000 Bootcamp path begins with a $22 entry fee, followed by a $50 payment after successful completion of the evaluation.

Bootcamp fees are non-refundable.

High Stakes Pricing

High Stakes prices vary by account size and whether the trader selects the New or Classic evaluation option.

The $2,500 High Stakes account starts from $19. Larger account sizes carry higher one-time registration fees.

Selecting cTrader adds $10 to the program price.

Growth Pricing

The Growth program charges a one-time evaluation fee based on the selected initial account size. The $5,000 Growth evaluation currently starts from approximately $52 before optional charges or promotions.

High Stakes Refund and Hub Credits

The High Stakes fee is no longer refunded in full as a cash payment after the first payout.

After Phase 1, the trader receives Hub Credit equal to 10% of the eligible externally paid fee. After Phase 2, the trader receives an additional 20% as Hub Credit.

The remaining 70% is added to the Funded account equity. It can be withdrawn with the first eligible payout after the account has been active for at least 14 days and has generated at least $150 in profit.

The 70% refund applies only to the part of the registration fee paid with external funds. Any amount paid using Hub Credits is excluded from the refundable calculation.

Trading Commissions

The exact spread, commission, swap, and margin requirements depend on the instrument, platform, and account type.

Traders should review The5ers Trading Assets Specifications for current contract-level trading costs rather than relying on a single average commission for all instruments.

The5ers allows eligible Funded traders to request payouts through the company Hub. Payout conditions, profit splits, minimum amounts, and payout caps may vary by program and account size.

Payout Schedule

The first payout can generally be requested 14 days after the Funded account is activated. Subsequent payout requests can be made every 14 days following the last approved payout.

If an account is scaled, the 14-day payout timer restarts from the scaling date.

Approved requests are normally processed within three business days. A payout marked as Pending Approval is reviewed by the Risk Team, which generally takes 24–48 business hours, excluding weekends and holidays.

Profit Splits

Bootcamp Funded accounts begin with a 50% profit split and can scale to 100%.

High Stakes accounts begin with an 80% profit split and may increase to 100% through the scaling plan.

Growth accounts generally begin with a 75% profit split and may increase to 100% at higher scaling levels.

Minimum Payout

The general minimum withdrawal amount is $150 after applying the trader’s profit split.

Certain High Stakes account sizes use different minimum P&L requirements and payout caps. For example:

• $50,000 High Stakes account: $300 minimum P&L and $3,000 payout cap
• $100,000 High Stakes account: $500 minimum P&L and $4,000 payout cap
• $200,000 Funded account: $250 minimum withdrawal and $3,000 payout cap

Traders should confirm the current limits for their exact account in the Hub.

Payout Methods

The5ers supports:

• Rise
• Cryptocurrency
• Bank transfer
• Hub Credits

Rise, cryptocurrency, and bank-transfer payouts carry a 3.5% commission.

Bank transfers may also be subject to fees charged by the receiving bank.

Cryptocurrency payouts are limited to $1,500 per transaction. Supported cryptocurrencies currently include USDT through TRC20, USDC through ERC20, ETH, and LTC.

Payouts converted to Hub Credits do not carry a withdrawal commission. Hub Credits can be used only to purchase new The5ers accounts and cannot be withdrawn as cash.

Withdrawal Requirements

All open positions must be closed before a payout request is submitted.

A payout cannot be divided between two different withdrawal methods. Traders should verify all payment details before submitting the request.
