Overview

The5ers is an Israeli firm that has funded traders since 2016. It runs three CFD programs on MetaTrader 5 covering forex, metals, indices, oil and crypto, plus a futures arm. It suits patient traders who like low entry prices and accounts that grow with each target.

How the evaluation works

High Stakes: two steps at 10% then 5%. Small accounts have a 5% daily and 10% overall loss limit, while the 50K and 100K drop to 4% and 8%. A Classic version uses an 8% first target.
Pro Growth and Hyper Growth: one step with a 10% target, a 6% stop-out and a 3% daily loss. Pro Growth is cheaper and needs three profitable days.
Bootcamp: three steps of 6% each with a 5% max loss and no daily limit. A small entry fee, then a second fee once you pass.
Futures Day Trade and Swing: 6% target, 4% end-of-day drawdown and a 40% per-position consistency rule.

Rules worth knowing

There's no time limit, but 30 idle days expire an account. High Stakes bans trading in the two minutes either side of high-impact news. A profitable day only counts at 0.5% of the starting balance. EAs need code you own, and copying is only allowed between your own accounts. On futures, Day Trade positions must be flat 10 minutes before the close, Swing can hold a small position overnight, and nothing stays open over the weekend.

Getting paid

The first withdrawal opens 14 days after funding, then every two weeks. High Stakes and Bootcamp start at 80%, the Growth programs at 75%, and all rise as the account scales. Futures pays 80% and refunds the fee on the third payout. Payouts go through Rise, crypto or bank transfer, each with a 3.5% fee.

The5ers has one of the strongest review records among prop firms: 4.7 on Trustpilot from about 39,000 reviews and 4.7 on Prop Firm Match from about 1,300 verified traders. It has funded traders since 2016, and most reviewers say payouts arrive on time. The complaints that do appear are mainly about payout reviews, where traders say their accounts were linked to someone else's trading and closed.

What traders like

Clear rules. The most common praise on Trustpilot and Prop Firm Match is that the rules are plain and there are no hidden conditions.
Holding overnight and over weekends. Many traders like being able to keep positions open without forced closes.
Reliable payouts. Lots of reviewers describe several payouts processed within the stated window.
Spreads and support. Tight spreads, steady execution and quick support replies come up often.

Common complaints

Accounts closed over "related" trading. The main theme on Forex Peace Army and in some Prop Firm Match reviews: traders say a payout was held and the account closed because their trades looked similar to another trader's, which they deny.
Tight daily limit and news rules. Some reviewers find the 3% daily loss limit and the restriction around news releases hard to work with.
Slow or unclear payout reviews. A few traders say payout checks took longer than expected and that the reasons given were thin.
Outages. A March 2026 Reddit thread complains about an outage and slow support.

Recently

July 2026: a Forex Peace Army thread describes a $3,099 payout declined and the account closed after four earlier payouts.
August 2026: more Forex Peace Army reviews describe coordinated-trading accusations at payout time, while Prop Firm Match reviews from the same month stay largely positive.
The5ers Futures now has its own Trustpilot page, with mostly positive early reviews and no score shown yet.
