The5ers rules and payouts

Every forex and CFD program The5ers lists, the loss limits on each one, how scaling and payouts work, and the limited-time Summer Plan, from The5ers' own program pages and FAQs. The5ers Futures has its own rules and isn't covered here.

The short version

  • Three standing programs, High Stakes (2 steps), Growth (1 step, as Pro Growth or Hyper Growth) and Bootcamp (3 steps), plus a limited-time Summer Plan. None has a time limit, and all trade on MT5.
  • High Stakes: 10% then 5% on the New version, a 5% daily loss and a 10% max loss, with at least 3 profitable days in each step.
  • The daily limit works two ways. On Hyper Growth and the funded Bootcamp account it is a 3% daily pause that stops trading for the day. On High Stakes, Pro Growth and the Summer Plan, hitting it ends the account.
  • Payouts open 14 days after your Pro (funded) account is activated, then every 2 weeks, with a $150 minimum. Scaling up restarts the 14-day timer.
  • News: Growth allows it, except bracket strategies around releases. High Stakes bans trading in the 2 minutes before and after high-impact news.

The High Stakes page offers New and Classic versions but only showed the New targets (10%, then 5%) when we checked. The5ers' own program guide lists 8%, then 5% for High Stakes, which matches the Classic option in its 2-Step FAQ. Check the Classic toggle on the5ers.com before you buy.

*New version. From The5ers' program pages on November 4. "Pause" means trading stops for the rest of the day; every other daily limit ends the account.

  • Leverage: 1:100 on High Stakes and the Summer Plan, 1:30 on Growth and Bootcamp.
  • Entry prices on November 4: $19 for the $2,500 High Stakes account, $52 for the $5,000 Pro Growth account, and $22 to start the $20,000 Bootcamp, with $50 more when you reach the funded stage.
  • Inactivity: 30 days in a row with no activity and the account expires. On High Stakes the count starts the day the account is registered.
  • Holding: overnight and weekend positions are allowed. Indices held over the weekend carry a high swap.
  • Account limits: up to $40,000 of Growth evaluation capital per trader, and up to 4 active Bootcamp accounts (one $250K, one $100K and two $20K), each running a different strategy. High Stakes has its own per-size caps.

High Stakes (2-Step)

  • Targets: 10% in Step 1 and 5% in Step 2 on the New version. The funded (Pro) account then scales on every 10% gain.
  • Loss limits: a 5% maximum daily loss and a 10% maximum loss, on both steps and the Pro account.
  • Profitable days: at least 3 in each step, and 3 again for each scale-up. A profitable day means your closed positions made at least 0.5% of the starting balance. The5ers measures it as the lower of your midnight balance or midnight equity, minus the previous day's balance.
  • Fee back: 10% of what you paid comes back as Hub Credit when you pass Step 1 and 20% when you pass Step 2. The other 70% is added to your Pro account's equity and can be withdrawn with your first payout, once the account is 14 days old and has at least $150 in rewards. Only the part you paid with outside money counts, not Hub Credit.
  • Payout limits: the $50K account has a $3,000 payout cap and needs $300 of profit to request one. The $100K has a $4,000 cap and a $500 minimum.
  • Scaling and split: 80% up to a $150,000 balance, 85% at $175,000 to $200,000 and 90% at $250,000 to $300,000. From $350,000 it is 100% plus a fixed payout ($4,000, or $10,000 at $500,000), with conditions set by The5ers.

Growth (1-Step): Pro Growth and Hyper Growth

  • Both versions: a 10% target, a 6% stop-out level and a 3% daily limit, with no time limit. The target and limits stay the same on the funded account, and the split can reach 100%.
  • Pro Growth: hitting the 3% daily loss ends the account. The plan table lists at least 3 profitable days in the evaluation. Each 10% gain scales the account, at a 75% split up to $300,000, 80% at $350,000 and 80% to 100% from $400,000, up to $500,000.
  • Hyper Growth: the 3% limit is a daily pause, so trading stops for the day but the account carries on. There's no minimum number of days or trades: you pass as soon as you hit the target. The account doubles at each target, up to $4,000,000.
  • Capital cap: $40,000 of evaluation accounts per trader, for example one $20K, one $10K and two $5K.

Bootcamp (3-Step)

  • Three steps: a 6% target in each, with a 5% max loss and no daily limit. On the $20K plan the balance goes $5,000, $10,000, then $15,000 before the $20,000 funded account.
  • Funded account: a 5% target to scale up, a 4% max loss and a 3% daily pause. Each 5% gain scales the account.
  • Split: 50/50 at the start, 75/25 after the first scale-up, 80/20 at $2,000,000 and 100% from $2,500,000, up to $4,000,000.
  • Cost: a low entry fee to start and the rest only when you pass ($22, then $50 on the $20K plan).

The limited-time Summer Plan

A limited-time promotion with its own, stricter rules. All Summer Plan daily limits end the account, and The5ers sets them at the end of each day as 3% of the higher of your end-of-day equity or balance.

  • 1-Step ($100K): a 10% target, a 6% max loss and a 50% consistency rule, all of which carry over unchanged to the funded account. 75% split and a $250 minimum withdrawal.
  • 2-Step ($100K): 10% then 5%, or 8% then 5% for a higher fee. A 10% max loss and no consistency rule during the evaluation, then 50% on the funded account. $250 minimum withdrawal and a $2,000 cap per payout cycle.
  • 2-Step ($200K): 80% split, a $3,000 cap per payout cycle, the same 50% rule once funded, and no scaling.
  • Fee back on the 2-Step: 10% as Hub Credit after Step 1, 20% after Step 2, and the remaining 70% at your third payout.
  • The 50% rule: your best day can't be more than half of your total profit (best day ÷ total profit, at or under 50%). The5ers' example: a $5,000 best day needs $10,000 of total profit, so you keep trading until you get there.
  • Copy trading between your own Summer Plan accounts is allowed, up to $600,000 of buying power across them.

Payouts and news

  • When: no payouts during an evaluation. Your first withdrawal opens 14 days after your Pro account is activated, then every 2 weeks from your last approved one. A scale-up restarts the 14-day timer.
  • How much: at least $150, counted after the profit split. Close every open trade before you request.
  • How fast: usually processed within 3 business days. A request marked Pending Approval is with the risk team, which typically takes 24 to 48 business hours.
  • Methods: Rise, crypto (up to $1,500 per withdrawal) and bank transfer each carry a 3.5% commission. Taking the payout as Hub Credit has no commission but can only buy new accounts.
  • News: Growth allows news trading, except bracket strategies around releases and anything else its terms exclude. High Stakes allows trading through news but bans trades in the 2 minutes before and after high-impact events.

Questions about The5ers rules

How many profitable days do I need at The5ers?

On High Stakes, at least 3 in each step, where a profitable day means closed trades made at least 0.5% of the starting balance. Pro Growth lists 3 in its evaluation; Hyper Growth has no minimum.

Does hitting the daily loss fail a The5ers account?

It depends on the program. The 5% daily loss on High Stakes and the 3% limit on Pro Growth and the Summer Plan end the account. Hyper Growth and the funded Bootcamp account have a 3% daily pause that only stops trading for the day.

When can I get paid at The5ers?

14 days after your Pro account is activated, then every 2 weeks from your last approved withdrawal, with a $150 minimum. Scaling up restarts the 14-day timer.

Does The5ers refund the High Stakes fee?

Yes, in stages: 10% as Hub Credit after Step 1, 20% after Step 2, and 70% added to your Pro account, which you can withdraw with your first payout. Only the part paid with outside money is refunded.

Can I trade news at The5ers?

On Growth, yes, except bracket strategies around releases. On High Stakes you can trade through news, but not in the 2 minutes before or after high-impact events.

Does The5ers have a consistency rule?

The Summer Plan does: 50% on the 1-Step evaluation and funded account, and on the 2-Step funded account. The High Stakes, Growth and Bootcamp pages don't list one.
