Lvlup charges no payout fee.

3.5% for Rise, cryptocurrencies and bank transfers. No fee when the payout is converted into Hub Credits.

Both the evaluation and the funded account are simulated, unless a separate agreement says otherwise.

The5ers states that all activity is conducted in a simulated trading environment.

• Lvlup: every 14 days. The days in the cycle do not need to be profitable.
• Starter: after every 5 profitable days. 5 payouts at most; the fifth closes the account.

First payout after 14 days; subsequent payouts every 14 days after the last approved withdrawal.

Approved payouts are processed within 48 hours at most, usually 24 to 48h.

Approved withdrawals are normally processed within 3 business days.

• Lvlup: 10% of the starting balance per payout.
• Starter: 4% on 25K and 50K, 2.5% on 100K and 2% on 150K, never more than 50% of the profit generated.

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.

• Starter: $500 on every size.
• Lvlup: no published minimum.

A payout can be requested after reaching at least 4% profit over the initial account balance.

• KYC with Sumsub before the funded account. The payout method must belong to the verified holder.
• Lvlup: the 40% consistency rule must be met when you request the payout.
• Starter: the account is locked from the request until the payout is approved.
• The full requested amount comes off the balance and the drawdown is not reset.

The funded account must be at least 14 days old and have reached at least 4% profit. The 14-day cycle restarts after scaling.

Standard futures: $5 per side. Micro futures: $2.50 per side.

A failed account cannot be reset or reactivated: you have to buy a new evaluation.

Payout Protector (+25% of the price): if a funded account fails while in profit, they review the case and may pay what was eligible. It does not prevent the breach or keep the account open, and it must be added at purchase.

At every approved 10% profit milestone, buying power increases by 5%, up to $500,000.

End-of-day trailing: it follows the highest closing balance and updates once the day ends; intraday moves do not shift it. On Lvlup it stops trailing once the account is up 6% and locks at the starting balance; Starter does not publish that lock. Touching it closes 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.

80% on Lvlup and 100% on Starter.

• Starter: 30 days from the first trade; it does not renew.

Lvlup Elite: 1 point per dollar paid out by Lvlup and 200 per passed Lvlup account; verified payouts and passes at other futures firms count too. 10,000 points unlock 12 months in a club with events and trips, where each point is worth $1. It cannot be bought.

• Lvlup: none; payouts follow 14-day cycles.
• Starter: 5 profitable days before each payout.

• On Volumetrica, Lvlup monthly ($129, $225, $369 and $476) and Starter ($161, $226, $291 and $356) cost more. Lvlup one-time costs the same on both platforms.
