Last verified: July 14, 2026 against the5ers.com and its official help centers. The5ers (est. 2016) runs five programs — High Stakes (2-step), ProGrowth (1-step), Hyper Growth (instant funding), Bootcamp (3-step), and a Futures program. US traders: the US is not on the restricted-country list, but the firm publishes no explicit “US accepted” statement — we flag that as acceptance-by-omission, not a quoted rule.

What makes The5ers structurally different
- Real scaling with fixed salaries: High Stakes scales to $500K where the split becomes 100/0 plus a $10,000/month fixed payout — a genuinely unusual structure. Hyper Growth doubles the account at every 10% milestone toward $4M.
- “Profitable day” has a strict definition: ≥0.5% of initial balance in closed profit, computed as min(midnight balance, midnight equity) minus previous day balance — grinding tiny days doesn’t count.
- Fee refund is split into pieces: 10% hub credit at Phase 1, 20% at Phase 2, 70% into account equity at funding (withdrawable with first payout). Not a lump-sum refund.
- News rule is a soft breach: orders within ±2 minutes of high-impact news forfeit profits but don’t kill the account; holding through news is fine. Weekend holding allowed.
- Payout friction is real: bi-weekly, $150 minimum, 5–8 business days processing, and a 3.5% commission on Rise/crypto/bank withdrawals — one of the few firms charging a percentage on the way out.
- Stop losses must be visible — stealth-mode SLs are banned; EAs allowed within limits (no HFT/arbitrage/copying).
Discrepancies we’re tracking in their own docs
Our extraction found three places where The5ers’ own pages disagree, all flagged for weekly re-checks: (1) ProGrowth’s 3% daily loss is labeled a “pause” on the program page but “termination” in the help center; (2) the futures per-position consistency cap is 40% on the current program page vs 30% in an older official explainer; (3) the program page sells a $50K ProGrowth tier while the help center’s account-limit article predates it. When a firm’s documentation contradicts itself, assume the harsher reading until support confirms otherwise — and we’ve asked.
