Elite trades real capital by risk-team invitation; standard Funded accounts use simulated capital.
The5ers states that all activity is conducted in a simulated trading environment.
Core and Instant: every 10 active sessions. Rapid Daily: after one session; Rapid Futures 3D: every 3 sessions. Rapid closes after the fifth payout.
First payout after 14 days; subsequent payouts every 14 days after the last approved withdrawal.
The website advertises processing within 48 hours or a 100% split on that payout. Bank transfer or USDC ERC-20 according to the help center.
Approved withdrawals are normally processed within 3 business days.
Up to 50% of profits per request, before the split. Core/Instant 50K: $1,500/$2,000/$2,500 for payouts 1-2/3-4/5+; 100K: $2,000/$2,500/$3,000. Rapid Daily 50K: $1,000 for the first two, then $1,500; 100K: $1,500/$2,000. Rapid 3D 50K: $2,000; 100K: $2,000 for the first two, then $3,000. After the first payout, new profits of at least 50% of the next requested amount are required.
25K: $1,250. 50K: payouts 1–4 are capped at $1,500 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000; later payouts remain capped at $3,000. 100K and 150K: 3% of the current balance.
No published minimum.
A payout can be requested after reaching at least 4% profit over the initial account balance.
3.5% for Rise, cryptocurrencies and bank transfers. No fee when the payout is converted into Hub Credits.
The funded account must be at least 14 days old and have reached at least 4% profit. The 14-day cycle restarts after scaling.
Per contract per side: dxFeed $0.75 micro / $2 mini; Tradovate $0.80 / $2.88. CME L1 included; other exchanges and L2 cost extra. Tradovate is limited to DLL accounts; evaluations cannot migrate.
Standard futures: $5 per side. Micro futures: $2.50 per side.
Evaluation resets and up to two funded or Instant resets. Help articles exclude promotional accounts from resets, although the Welcome Futures checkout displays a reset price. Confirm before purchasing a Welcome reset.
Discretionary invitation to Elite with real capital and individual limits. The website also advertises a waiting list; automatic scaling is not guaranteed.
At every approved 10% profit milestone, buying power increases by 5%, up to $500,000.
EOD trailing: the threshold follows the highest closing value and never decreases. It locks at the initial balance when reached or after the first payout. Subsequent loss room consists of the profits left in the account.
4% EOD trailing drawdown, calculated from the highest midnight balance or equity. After a payout, it resets to 4% below the new balance.
Core DLL and funded Rapid Daily: the checkout specifies one soft closure and account termination on the second breach. Older Core DLL articles still describe an immediate hard breach.
Core and Instant: up to 10 funded accounts. Rapid: up to 5. One Welcome account per user. Unlimited evaluations; passed accounts can wait for an activation slot. Futures limits are separate from CFD/crypto limits.
New purchases: 90-day evaluation; Instant accounts have no expiry. No monthly renewal fees for purchases from 22 October 2026 at 18:00. Older accounts retain their renewal terms.
No time limit. At least one trade must be placed every 14 days.
Core: no minimum evaluation days. Rapid: the help center specifies 3 evaluation days and consistency.
The evaluation can be passed in one trading day while respecting the consistency rule.
80% for the trader across all funded accounts.
No monthly fee. The current program catalogue shows no activation fee.
Every approved 10% profit milestone adds 1 mini and 10 micro contracts.
One-time evaluation fee with no monthly subscription.
Only self-developed or transparent systems with full source access and control over their logic. No commercial black-box bots, HFT or arbitrage.
Algorithmic and high-frequency trading are prohibited.
Allowed for security or connectivity, never to conceal identity or bypass restrictions.
No HFT or tick scalping. Payouts require the 15-second rule: at least half of trades and profits must come from trades exceeding that threshold, as described in payout help.
Position Loss plans aggregate all trades in the same market, including fees, spread and slippage. Limit: 1% in evaluation and 0.5% funded/Instant. Two soft closures; the third breach ends the account. Rapid Futures does not use this limit.
Only between the trader's own 25K and 50K accounts, with a combined maximum allocation of $75,000.
Closure after 8 calendar days without trading. Opening or closing a trade resets the timer; an open position pauses it.
At least one trade must be placed every 14 days.
Core: 30% funded and Instant, none during evaluation. Rapid: 40% during evaluation; none for funded Rapid Daily. Rapid Futures 3D: 40% per funded cycle. Resets after each payout.
40% per-position consistency rule during evaluation and funded stages. It is calculated using accumulated profitable trades; losing trades are not deducted.
Latency arbitrage, price or platform manipulation, spoofing/layering, bug exploitation, copying/external signals, third-party management, account sharing, multiple identities and excessive exposure.
High-frequency trading, algorithmic trading and hedging.
Day Trade does not allow overnight positions. Swing allows limited overnight exposure: 1 mini/10 micros on 25K and 50K, 2/20 on 100K and 3/30 on 150K.
