Firm Rules
Key rules and guidelines for traders
The5ers offers multiple evaluation programs: High Stakes (2-Step with 10%/5% profit targets), Hyper Growth (1-Step with 6%/4% targets), ProGrowth (1-Step with 10% target, 80% split), and Bootcamp (3-Step). Drawdown is static balance-based — it does not trail upward. Daily loss limits are 5% (High Stakes) and 3% (Hyper Growth/ProGrowth). Maximum total loss is 10% (High Stakes) and 6% (Hyper Growth/ProGrowth). There are no time limits on any evaluation phase. News trading is permitted. Weekend holding and overnight positions are allowed. Expert Advisors and automated trading are permitted. Copy trading between accounts is not allowed. Hedging rules vary by program — internal hedging between accounts is prohibited. Scalping is allowed. Accounts inactive for 30+ consecutive days expire. The real-money funding model means The5ers puts actual capital behind funded traders, not just simulated funds.
Consistency Rules
The5ers does not enforce a strict consistency percentage rule on most programs. Instead, a profitable day is defined as generating at least 0.5% of the initial balance in closed position profit. The Bootcamp and scaling programs evaluate overall trading consistency rather than applying a single-day cap. Traders must generate consistent profitable days rather than one large winning day.
