Founded
2016 Israel
One of the longest-running forex prop firms, with up-to-100% splits and no time limits.
Status: Active. Active since 2016 with a strong 4.7 Trustpilot score, but it publishes no verified cumulative payout total, acknowledged payout-processing delays in March 2026, and has recurring individual complaints of denied payouts and funded-account terminations.
The5ers earns trust largely from longevity (since 2016), a strong 4.7 Trustpilot score and a genuine up-to-100% split. Unlike some rivals it publishes no verifiable cumulative payout total, and there is a persistent (if individual-level) pattern of payout-denial and account-termination complaints, plus an acknowledged March 2026 payout delay.
The score, by criterion
The5ers offers several programs — a low-cost 3-stage Bootcamp that converts to a $20,000 funded account, a two-step High Stakes program, and an aggressive single-phase Hyper Growth route — across account sizes up to $100,000+, with scaling. Passing traders keep up to 100% of profit.
The5ers uses a static (absolute) drawdown measured from your initial balance rather than a trailing limit, with no time limits on any program. Targets and daily-loss limits vary by program, so confirm the current rules for your chosen account on the5ers.com.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Profit target | 8–10% + 5% (High Stakes); 10% (Hyper Growth) |
| Max daily loss | 5% (High Stakes) / 3% (Hyper Growth) |
| Max overall drawdown | 10% (High Stakes) / 6% (Hyper Growth) — static |
| Minimum trading days | 3 profitable days (≥ +0.5% each) |
| Consistency rule | No single day > 50% of total profit before first payout |
| Time limit | None |
| Withdrawal fee | ~3.5% deducted from withdrawals |
Payouts typically begin around 14 days after funding and then run bi-weekly, by wire or crypto, with a ~3.5% fee deducted. Note that — unlike some rivals — The5ers does not publish a verified cumulative payout total, and it acknowledged payout-processing delays in March 2026; confirm your first payout before scaling.
A fit for traders who value a long track record, static drawdown and a high split ceiling, and who are comfortable on MT5. Those who want a published, audited payout record or the widest platform choice may weigh the trade-offs.
The5ers is not authorised by a financial regulator. Its accounts are simulated and protections are contractual; a ~3.5% withdrawal fee applies. Treat challenge fees as at risk, note the payout-denial complaints, and confirm your first payout before scaling.
A proprietary trading firm evaluation is a paid product, not employment or guaranteed income — most participants do not pass, and challenge fees are at risk. Prop firms are generally unregulated and can change rules or cease operating at short notice; details were verified as of August 2026 and may change.
