Five CFD paths, each genuinely different:
High Stakes (2-Step, "New" or "Classic" pricing): New = 10% Step 1, 5% Step 2. Classic = 8% Step 1, 5% Step 2. Both: 5% daily loss, 10% total loss, 3 min profitable days, unlimited time, 1:100 leverage.
Hyper Growth / Pro Growth (1-Step): 10% target, 6% stop-out, 3% daily loss, unlimited time, 1:30 leverage. Hyper Growth costs more than Pro Growth for the same size in exchange for faster account-doubling on funded milestones.
Bootcamp (3-Step): Lower entry cost, remainder of fee due after passing.
Summer Plan (limited-time, $100K only): 1-Step at 10% target, or 2-Step at either 10%/5% or 8%/5% depending on price tier. 3% daily loss on all variants.
News trading allowed except bracket strategies around high-impact news. Copy trading allowed only between your own High Stakes and Hyper Growth accounts.
Futures (Day Trade / Swing, on Black Arrow, not MT5): 6% profit target, 3% end-of-day max loss (not intraday trailing), no single position over 30% of total profit. Day Trade closes all positions before market close. Swing allows small overnight size (1 mini or 10 micro contracts). Trades CME/CBOT/NYMEX/COMEX markets - equity index futures, currencies, metals, energy, and agricultural contracts.
Funded Account Rules ⌄
CFD: Profit split starts at 50% (Bootcamp, Hyper Growth) or 80% (High Stakes), scaling to 100%. High Stakes scales to $500K, Hyper Growth to $4M. Accounts inactive 30+ days expire.
Futures: 80/20 profit split on funded accounts. Scaling unlocks at each 10% milestone, adding buying power plus 1 mini and 10 micro contracts. Total allocation capped at $100K across Futures accounts.
Payout Rules ⌄
CFD: First withdrawal 14 days after funding, then every 14 days. Timer resets on scaling. $150 minimum withdrawal. 3.5% fee on Rise/Crypto/Bank Transfer (per The5ers' own help center); Hub Credits avoid the fee but aren't cash.
Futures: Regular payouts once funded, processed through the same payout infrastructure as the CFD side.
Restricted Countries ⌄
Forbidden on CFD programs: Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, and others (29 total - see firm's own terms for the full list).
US traders: accepted since September 2025. The5ers had briefly blocked US traders in early 2024 during an industry-wide crackdown (MetaQuotes restricting MT5 access for US-facing prop firms), then reopened access using cTrader specifically as the compliant path forward - MT5 Hedge remains non-US only. Futures accepts US traders too, on the separate Black Arrow platform.
What We Like
- Eight funding paths across CFD and Futures at very different price points
- Ten years of operating history
- Both CFD (via cTrader) and Futures programs open to US traders
- Scaling up to $4M (Hyper Growth)
- Genuinely low-cost entry options (Bootcamp, High Stakes $2.5K)
Could Be Better
- US traders use a separate platform (cTrader) from the rest of the world (MT5 Hedge), so the experience isn't identical across regions
- No MT4 support on either CFD platform
- 3.5% fee on cash payout methods
- Eight programs means real research before choosing the right one
AI Summary
Generated from verified firm dataThe5ers runs since 2016, and the sheer number of paths to funding is what stands out - eight programs across CFD and Futures, at price points from under $20 to several hundred dollars.
Bootcamp is the cheapest entry. High Stakes is the standard 2-step, with New and Classic pricing tiers depending on which profit target you want. Hyper Growth and Pro Growth both offer 1-step funding at the same targets, priced differently based on how fast the funded account scales. The Summer Plan is a limited-time $100K promotion worth checking is still live.
Futures, launched 2026, is a genuinely separate product on its own platform (Black Arrow, not MT5). Notably, US traders aren't a second-class option here the way they are at many prop firms - The5ers reopened CFD access to the US via cTrader in September 2025, after a brief industry-wide lockout in early 2024, and Futures accepts US traders too. If you're new to futures trading specifically: it means trading standardized contracts on exchanges like the CME rather than CFDs, with its own margin and contract-size mechanics - worth reading up on before choosing it over the CFD side.

Excellent platform, highly recommend
Been with them for 8 months now. Payouts are always on time, support is responsive and the rules are fair. Dashboard is clean and easy to use. My profit split is 90% after scaling. Would recommend to any serious trader. — TradingMom
