The5ers Review 2026: Costs, Rules & Payouts

Operating since 2016 and run by Five Percent Online Ltd (registered in England & Wales and in Israel), The5ers built its name on scaling: accounts grow as you hit targets, and profit splits climb as high as 100%. Its own terms define the funded stage as backed by simulated capital.

"$100K for $149"

That banner is the limited-time Summer Plan 2-Step (10%/5%), a different product with a 3% daily loss limit and a 50% consistency rule once funded — not standard High Stakes; standard High Stakes $100K costs $405 (NEW) or $455 (Classic) on the firm's live table.
There is no PropDealHub code for The5ers. Confirm the real $100K price at checkout before paying.
Editorial transparency
Every figure here was read on the5ers.com, including its T&Cs and official FAQ. We do not claim to have personally traded an account or independently validated every payout.

Our Verdict: Who are The5ers for?

The5ers suit patient traders who want one account that keeps scaling for years — and who read terms carefully, because this firm's fine print contains two clauses most traders never notice.

What looks good

Operating since 2016; fully published price and rule tables
Profit splits that scale all the way to 100%
High Stakes entry from $19 — the cheapest serious start here
News trading allowed; exact profitable-day and inactivity definitions published

What to watch closely

T&Cs: public criticism or publishing support emails = fundamental breach, profits forfeited
Mandatory video interview within 5 business days, or payouts can be denied
Withdrawals cost 3.5% commission (Rise, crypto, bank)
Bottom line: The scaling model is genuinely trader-friendly, but read the T&Cs before you buy — the criticism clause and the $10,000-weekly-instalment payout clause are in there, in writing.

Trading Rules That Actually Matter

The daily-loss maths are published in unusual detail here — and two different limits share one name, so check which programme you are in.

High Stakes daily loss5% / 4%
Growth / Pro daily limit3%
High Stakes maximum loss10% / 8%
Daily Loss Calculation (High Stakes)5% on $2.5K–$25K accounts and 4% on $50K/$100K accounts, taken from the higher of the day's starting equity or starting balance, at 00:00 server time. Do not confuse this with the Summer Plan's 3% daily loss — that is a different, promotional product.
Maximum LossHigh Stakes: 10% of the initial balance ("absolute drawdown") on $2.5K–$25K accounts and 8% on $50K/$100K accounts. Growth and Pro: a 6% stop-out below the initial size, which terminates the account.
Daily Pause vs Daily LossOn Hyper Growth (3%) and funded Bootcamp (3%), hitting the daily limit closes trades and pauses the account until the next day — it does not terminate it. On Pro Growth the same 3% is a daily loss limit that terminates the account.
Profitable DaysHigh Stakes needs 3 profitable days in each step (Pro Growth: 3 in Step 1). A profitable day = closed profit of at least 0.5% of the initial balance — the firm publishes the exact formula.
News TradingAllowed. Only bracketing pending orders around high-impact news are prohibited — no ±minute blackout window appears in the official terms or FAQ.
Weekend HoldingAllowed (Hyper Growth notes high weekend swap charges on indices).
Inactivity — With an Official DefinitionAn account expires after 30 consecutive days without opening a brand-new trade; the clock starts on registration day. In evaluation the limit is 30 days; once funded, High Stakes accounts get 60 days, while Growth and Bootcamp accounts stay at 30 days.
EAs & Prohibited PracticesThird-party EAs and EAs without owned source code are banned; your own algos need prior written approval. Also banned: arbitrage (including hedge/reverse), HFT, tick scalping, bulk trading, copy trading and coordinating positions — including opposite positions at other firms. No mandatory stop-loss in any programme.
LeverageHigh Stakes: forex 1:100, indices & metals 1:25, commodities 1:5, crypto 1:2. Growth, Pro and Bootcamp headline 1:30, with per-asset tables printing commodities 1:1.5 and crypto 1:0.60 — at 1:0.60, $1 of margin controls only $0.60 of crypto position, so crypto margin exceeds the position value.
The Two T&C Clauses to Read FirstThe terms treat public criticism of the firm — or publishing support correspondence — as a fundamental breach with profits forfeited; and a video interview is mandatory within 5 business days of request, or payouts can be denied. Both are in the firm's own T&Cs (updated 20 Oct 2026).
Real purchase terms prevail over any third-party review. Where The5ers' own pages disagree with each other, we show both figures rather than pick one.

Profit Splits, Scaling & Payouts

Scaling is the whole point of this firm — splits start low on some programmes and climb with account growth. Withdrawals carry a commission most firms do not charge.

Starting SplitsHigh Stakes 80% · Pro Growth 75% · Hyper Growth 50% · Bootcamp 50% — all rising with scaling: High Stakes and Bootcamp reach 100%; Pro reaches 80/20 at $350K and 80–100% at $700K+; Hyper Growth accounts double at each 10% milestone, up to $4M.
When You Can WithdrawFirst withdrawal 14 days after the funded account is activated, then every 2 weeks; scaling resets the 14-day timer. Minimum profit to request: $150. High Stakes adds per-size minimums on the big accounts ($300 P&L on $50K, $500 on $100K) with payout caps ($3,000 / $4,000).
Withdrawal Commission — 3.5%Rise, crypto and bank transfer withdrawals each cost 3.5% per withdrawal (bank transfers plus the receiving bank's own fees). Hub Credits carry no commission but can only buy new accounts.
Methods & ProcessingRise; crypto — USDT (TRC20), USDC (ERC20), ETH, LTC, capped at $1,500 per withdrawal; bank transfer; Hub Credits. Approved requests are typically processed within 3 business days, after a 24–48 business-hour risk review. Payouts go only to a same-name account.
The Instalment ClauseThe T&Cs allow the firm to cap a single payout, with any excess paid in $10,000 weekly instalments. Factor that into any large-balance plan.
Fee RefundsThe fee is non-refundable once trading starts. If you never trade: a full refund within 5 days, Hub Credit after that (T&Cs §8). Pro Growth refunds from the 3rd payout.

Figures stated on the5ers.com (programme pages, FAQ and T&Cs) as of 23 Oct 2026 — not independently tested payout outcomes. Note: often-quoted Pro Growth extras — a 50% consistency rule, a $250 minimum withdrawal and a $2,000 payout cap — do not appear on the firm's official pages; we do not state them as facts.

The5ers Discount Code

The5ers does not offer a PropDealHub discount code at this time. Its site banner advertises "$100K For $149" — but that is the limited-time Summer Plan 2-Step (10%/5%), a different product with a 3% daily loss limit and a 50% consistency rule once funded — not the standard High Stakes price. Standard High Stakes $100K costs $405 (NEW, 10% + 5% targets) or $455 (Classic, 8% + 5% targets). Check the live price at checkout before paying — the firm changes prices often.
