The5ers

Forex Prop Firm
Established: 2016 (10 years in business)
Legal Company Name: Five Percent Online LTD

Trading Plans

Compare each plan path, how it progresses, and the key funding and payout terms we have confirmed so far.

Broker-backed or allocation-style program rather than a standard challenge ladder.

The5ers says traders progress into the firm's funded environment by completing the requirements of the selected program, such as Hyper Growth and other challenge paths, while continuing to satisfy ongoing compliance and scaling conditions.
Payouts can be requested 14 days after funded-account activation and then every 2 weeks. Supported payout methods include Rise, crypto, bank transfer, and Hub Credits. Typical processing is within 72 hours, and the minimum withdrawal amount after split is 150 USD.
Program-dependent. The5ers presents different funded pathways with materially different risk and scaling structures, so leverage should be treated as account-type-specific rather than as a single firm-wide number.
Funded Account Structure

The5ers runs several funded-trader structures including High Stakes, Hyper Growth, Bootcamp, and ProGrowth. It presents itself more like a private funded-trader program than a simple broker-backed challenge funnel, and there is no general time limit beyond inactivity expiry.

Allowed Trading Instruments
Structured instrument coverage is still being normalized for this firm. For now, use the market badges and the plan and rules notes above as the best guide to what this firm supports.

Official restricted-country guidance includes Afghanistan, Belarus, Burundi, Central African Republic, Cuba, Congo Republic, Crimea, Democratic Republic of Congo, Donetsk, Eritrea, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Kherson, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Luhansk, Myanmar, North Korea, Palestinian Territory, Papua New Guinea, Russia, South Sudan, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Yemen, and Zaporizhzhia.

For non-futures firms, this section summarizes challenge fees, commissions, spreads, swaps, activation costs, and other trader-facing cost notes when exact structured fee rows are not yet normalized.
The5ers publishes spreads and commissions guidance through its help center, with trading costs depending on instrument and account environment rather than one universal rate across all programs.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
The5ers allows traders to use EAs and automation tools within the firm's published restrictions.
The5ers allows EAs and also permits stealth-style stop-loss handling, but traders remain responsible for complying with prohibited-trading rules and broader program restrictions.
Copy Trading
Not allowed

Current help content is product-dependent: 1-Step Amped allows Expert Advisors in the challenge phase but not on the funded stage. Copy-trading treatment should therefore be read as program-specific rather than universal across the brand.

Microscalping Policy
No standalone microscalping article surfaced in the current official The5ers materials reviewed, but traders remain subject to the firm's prohibited-trading-practices framework.
Bots Policy

The5ers allows EAs and automation tools, provided traders still comply with the firm's broader prohibited-trading and account-use restrictions.

DCA Policy

No explicit DCA or martingale policy surfaced in the current official materials reviewed for this firm.

Allowed Trading Hours
The5ers says market trading hours depend on the instrument and the platform session, and it provides dedicated market-hours guidance inside its help center rather than a single simplified 24/7 schedule.
Move to Live Criteria

The5ers says traders progress into the firm's funded environment by completing the requirements of the selected program, such as Hyper Growth and other challenge paths, while continuing to satisfy ongoing compliance and scaling conditions.

Rule Enforcement Notes

The5ers can restrict, fail, or otherwise act on accounts that violate its prohibited-trading-practices rules or other program requirements. Funded progression and payouts remain contingent on continued compliance.

Refund Policy

The5ers' help-center payout and program materials reviewed did not surface a simple universal cancellation/refund promise. The firm instead emphasizes program completion, payouts, and ongoing compliance rather than a broad money-back guarantee.

Activation Fee Policy

No separate funded-account activation fee surfaced in the reviewed official The5ers materials.

VPN Policy
No standalone VPN or IP-policy article surfaced in the reviewed official The5ers materials.
Payout Methods

Payouts can be requested 14 days after funded-account activation and then every 2 weeks. Supported payout methods include Rise, crypto, bank transfer, and Hub Credits. Typical processing is within 72 hours, and the minimum withdrawal amount after split is 150 USD.
