Fee refunded with the third approved payout on the same funded account, except Ultra and Instant. The terms exclude both from refunds. Other models have a 24-hour refund window before trading. The Static Fee Refund add-on appears in the terms but is absent from the reviewed catalogue.

High Stakes: Full refund after passing evaluation.

• Summer 1-Step: 10% of the evaluation fee in Hub Credits once funded.
• Summer 2-Step: 10% Hub Credits after Step One, 20% after Step Two, and 70% fee refund with the third payout.

Up to 3.5% processing fee where disclosed. The FAQ attributes it to methods other than Rise; provider and currency-conversion fees may also apply.

• Rise: 3.5% per withdrawal
• Crypto: 3.5% per withdrawal
• Bank Transfer: 3.5% + any fees charged by the receiving bank
• Hub Credits: no commission

The website and checkout add-ons state 21 days for the first withdrawal. The terms then specify 10 calendar days for 1-Step, 2-Step Trailing and 3-Step; 10 business days for Static; 14 calendar days for Ultra and Instant. The latter intervals run from the previous payment. All funded accounts require 15 completed trades per cycle.

• First withdrawal: 14 days after your funded account is activated.
• Subsequent withdrawal requests: Every 2 weeks from your last approved withdrawal.
• High Stakes Program: Withdrawals available once a minimum profit of $150 has been reached, subject to the 14-day waiting period.

Twice the requested amount if an approved request is not sent within two business days. The clock starts once both the request and the payout partner KYC are recorded. Dubai calendar, excluding weekends and UAE public holidays; reviews, disputes and legal holds are excluded. The advertised 45 minutes is an average.

Holding through market closures is allowed during evaluation, but not on funded or Instant accounts.

Profit above the per-cycle cap is forfeited, except on 2-Step Static, where it carries forward. Free, giveaway and prize accounts: eligible profit capped at 1% of initial balance per calendar month under clause 4.7, although the FAQ still states 2% per interval.

Crypto: $1,500

• High Stakes $50K: $3,000 payout cap per cycle.
• High Stakes $100K: $4,000 payout cap per cycle.
• Summer $50K (1-Step and 2-Step): $1,000 payout cap per withdrawal.
• Summer $100K (1-Step and 2-Step): $2,000 payout cap per withdrawal.
• Summer 2-Step $200K: $3,000 payout cap per withdrawal.

The terms conflict: the table lists USD 200 for 1-Step, 2-Step Trailing and 3-Step; USD 100 for Static and Ultra; none for Instant. Clause 4.4 states USD 100 generally except Instant, while the FAQ states USD 200. Confirm the plan-specific amount in the dashboard.

• High Stakes $2.5K-$25K: $150
• High Stakes $50K: $300
• High Stakes $100K: $500
• Summer Plan: $250

Normal swaps by default. The FAQ allows requesting a swap-free alternative if available; it is absent from the public checkout add-on catalogue reviewed.

The5ers do offer Swap Free accounts on theFunded stage, reach out via support chat or email help@the5ers.com to request yours.

No account reset. After a breach, a coupon may be provided to purchase a new challenge.

Checkout: 95% split for an extra 30% where offered; first payout after 7 days for an extra 35% on 1-Step, Static and Ultra up to 300K. Pay Later has no add-ons. Instant offers them only from 100K, although its terms describe a fixed split. Other add-ons mentioned in the FAQ or terms are absent from the sale catalogue.

The FAQ mentions at least 12 profitable cycles and the possibility of another same-size account after +50% funded performance. Black is invitation-only with custom terms, not guaranteed scaling.

Hyper-Growth:

High Stakes & ProGrowth:

Bootcamp:

Summer Plan $100K:

The $200,000 Summer 2-Step does not scale; its balance remains fixed at $200,000.

Trailing against peak equity; under the terms, it stops rising when the floor reaches 96% of initial balance. Static keeps a fixed floor from activation. Free and prize accounts always use trailing, even when the base model is Static.

Balance-based

Static takes the higher of balance and equity at 00:00 server time and fixes that reference for the day. Other models have a discrepancy: the FAQ uses that daily reference, but the terms describe trailing against peak equity. Instant has no daily limit. Losses include floating P&L, charges and swaps.

Highest balance or equity recorded at the end of the day (EOD high-watermark).

Daily pause (only Bootcamp): The 3% daily pause applies only to funded accounts. Traders can continue trading the very next day at 00:00 MT5 Server Time.

ProGrowth: 3% daily loss (highest between starting equity or starting balance of the day at MT5 Server Time). No daily pause.

Summer Plan: The EOD calculation uses the higher of balance or equity. Reaching the daily loss limit permanently terminates the account.

High Stakes

• Up to 3 accounts on each of the $2.5K, $5K, and $10K sizes (10% / 5%)
• One account of either $10K or $20K
• One account of either $60K or $100K

ProGrowth

3 accounts max, one of each size ($5K, $10K, and $20K).

Hyper-Growth

$40,000. (eg. you can have 4 X $10K, or 2 X $20K accounts all adding to the max starting capital of $40K)

Bootcamp

3 accounts (one $250K account + two $100K accounts). Each account must have a different trading method.

Summer Plan

Up to 6 active accounts. Two accounts may be purchased together.

Maximum aggregate buying power: $600,000 per trader.

• Up to one $200K 10/5 account and one $200K 8/5 account at the same time.
• Both $200K accounts total $400K, leaving up to $200K for additional $100K Summer Plan accounts.
• $50K: up to two accounts of each type (1-Step, 2-Step 10/5 and 2-Step 8/5), within the $600,000 cap.

No limit on concurrent challenges under one personal profile, subject to the combined funded allocation limit. Checkout limits each purchase to ten units per variant.

No maximum time to pass phases; the inactivity rule still applies.

Unlimited

Evaluation according to checkout: 1-Step, 2 days; Trailing, 2 and 3; Static, 4 and 4; 3-Step, 2 per phase; Ultra, no minimum configured. The terms still state 10 evaluation days for Ultra. Ultra and Instant funded require 10 trading days before the first payout. Static counts days with at least one 0.01-lot trade opened and closed.

FV Points: 1 point per net USD spent, with possible extras for phases, referrals and verified actions. Redeemable for discounts, challenges or merchandise; personal with no cash value. Points expire after 12 months and challenge vouchers after 90 days. Refunds reverse points and profile termination forfeits them; failing a challenge does not.

Hub Credits are used to purchase new programs and are valid for 3 months.

They can be earned through weekly competitions, progress in the High Stakes program, or live stream giveaways.

Terms: Ultra and Instant require 3 days per cycle with at least +0.5% of starting daily equity. Static requires 5 days with at least +0.2%. The FAQ also still shows 0.2% for Instant. Once eligibility is met, profit from days below the threshold also counts.

High Stakes: 3 days to pass evaluation (+0.5%)
ProGrowth: 3 profitable days (+0.5% of initial balance)

Bootcamp and Hyper-Growth: Starts at 50%. It grows up to 100% through scaling
High Stakes and ProGrowth: Starts at 80%. It grows up to 100% through scaling
Summer 1-Step: 75%/25% (fixed across scaling tiers, limited-time)
Summer 2-Step: 80%/20% (fixed, limited-time; the $200K does not scale)

The terms permit automation on 1-Step, Trailing, Static and 3-Step, and only during Ultra evaluation; it is prohibited on Ultra funded and Instant. The FAQ requires an EA add-on absent from the reviewed catalogue. The Risk Desk may request files and logic within five business days.

Paid VPN with prior notice to support; restricted-country IPs and identity evasion are prohibited. The FAQ prohibits VPS for manual trading and ties automated VPS use to an EA add-on.

Allowed within one account, subject to the two-position limit per asset. Prohibited across own accounts, other traders or other firms.

Instant requires a stop-loss on every position within 60 seconds. For risk calculations on other plans, positions without SL are assessed as if stopped at the drawdown floor.

• Hyper-Growth, ProGrowth and High Stakes: Not mandatory
• Bootcamp: Mandatory. You are not permitted to expose more than 2% of your starting account balance to risk, and the stop-loss must be placed within three minutes of opening any trade.

Terms: profits from trades held under 4 minutes are excluded, except on Static. Static has no evaluation minimum; funded profits from trades under 2 minutes are excluded if they exceed 30% of cycle profit. The FAQ states 180 seconds, or 30 with an add-on absent from the sale catalogue.

Maximum two open positions per asset, counting buys and sells and grouping equivalent symbols.

The FAQ prohibits martingale, anti-martingale and grid, allowing only up to two positions on one asset. The terms also prohibit abusive averaging and excessive exposure.

Instant: 1% of initial balance per trade; Ultra funded and Static in all phases: 2%. Entries on the same instrument within 60 seconds are aggregated. The same strategy across accounts is subject to the aggregate cap described in the copying rule.

Bootcamp: Risking more than 2% of the account balance in a single position will be considered a risk violation.

Sources conflict: the FAQ allows copying own accounts and the general terms prohibit it without written permission. CFD terms allow the same strategy on own accounts only in the same direction with aggregate per-asset risk up to 2%. Instant prohibits correlation across its accounts. Obtain written approval before using a copier.

If you have multiple Bootcamp accounts, they will need to be traded with different strategies

When managing $500,000 or more including all your accounts, you are not allowed copy trades between accounts anymore

Positions may be held, but not opened or closed from 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after high-impact news, including SL, TP and pending orders. Profits may be excluded; losses remain.

• Hyper-Growth, ProGrowth and Bootcamp: Allowed (except bracketing)
• High Stakes: Not allowed to open/close orders 2 minutes before/after the release (profit deduction only)

Conflicting sources: the inactivity article states suspension after 60 days without trading; another states 30. The terms also suspend accounts not activated within 30 days. Confirm the applicable period before leaving an account idle.

30 days

Funded checkout: 40% on 1-Step, Trailing, Static and 3-Step; 25% on Ultra and Pay Later; 20% on Instant. It limits the best day contribution to total profit. The FAQ and terms describe some of these rules as discretionary. Static has none during evaluation. Exceeding it defers payout until compliant.

• Summer 1-Step: 50% consistency in Evaluation and Funded Trader stages.
• Summer 2-Step: no consistency rule in Evaluation.
  • $100K funded accounts: 50% applies to profits used for withdrawals or scale-up.
  • $200K funded accounts: 50% applies to profits used for withdrawals; these accounts do not scale.

Allowed during evaluation under the terms; prohibited on funded and Instant accounts, including holiday closures. Static funded must close before 21:55 Friday server time, or five minutes before an earlier market close. No funded position may exceed 72 hours.

Any form of arbitrage, HFT, latency or price-error exploitation, abusive gap trading, collusion, cross-account hedging, third-party passing or management services, rule manipulation and abnormal position sizing. Breaches may exclude profits, invalidate phases or terminate connected accounts; losses still count.
