Time limits
Neither firm imposes a maximum time limit to complete their evaluations, which prevents the pressure of "trading against the clock." However, they both restrict your freedom to walk away from the markets for long periods. Mubite and The5ers will deactivate your account if you remain inactive for 30 days, forcing a minimum level of presence regardless of market conditions.
Mubite is significantly more restrictive regarding the speed of your evaluation; you cannot pass a One-Step or Two-Step challenge in less than 10 trading days. In contrast, The5ers only requires 3 profitable days for its High Stakes and ProGrowth programs. Furthermore, Mubite defines a "trading day" strictly: you cannot simply open and close a tiny position; the price movement must exceed 0.25% of the initial balance to count.
Weekends and news
Mubite offers more freedom in this area, as it does not prohibit news trading or holding positions over the weekend. The5ers, however, imposes specific barriers depending on the plan. If you choose the High Stakes program at The5ers, you are forbidden from opening or closing orders within a 4-minute window (2 minutes before and after) around high-impact news releases. Violating this does not close the account, but it prevents you from keeping any profits made during those volatile windows.
Where you can trade from
This is where the two firms diverge most sharply. Mubite does not list specific banned countries in the provided data, suggesting broader global access. The5ers, conversely, has an extensive list of prohibited jurisdictions. You cannot trade with The5ers if you are a resident of countries including (but not limited to) Israel, Russia, Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, or Vietnam. This geographical restriction acts as an absolute barrier to entry for traders in over 30 regions.
What the platform limits
The technical environment imposes the heaviest constraints.
- Asset Restrictions: At Mubite, you are strictly limited to Crypto. You cannot trade Forex, Indices, or Commodities. The5ers allows a wide range of assets but severely limits leverage on certain instruments (e.g., 2:1 or even 0.6:1 on Crypto).
- Technical Tools: Mubite forbids the use of any public or third-party EAs; you are only allowed to use bots if you can prove you wrote the code yourself. The5ers is more lenient with EAs but prohibits "News Bracketing" and high-frequency trading (HFT).
- Account Management: Mubite prohibits copy trading from any external source. The5ers allows it between your own accounts, but once you manage $500,000 or more, this freedom is revoked.
What the rules cost you
The financial rules limit your ability to access and grow your capital.
- Entry Cost: Mubite's prices limit how many attempts you can afford. A $100,000 Two-Step account costs $729, whereas at The5ers, a similar $100,000 High Stakes account is much more accessible at $405 or $455.
- Withdrawal Barriers: Mubite prevents you from withdrawing your full profit at once; each request is capped at 5% of the account size. The5ers does not have this specific percentage cap but imposes a 3.5% fee on almost all withdrawal methods (Rise, Crypto, Bank Transfer), which reduces your net earnings.
- Risk Margins: Mubite limits your drawdown to a maximum of 6% on One-Step accounts. The5ers' Bootcamp is even more restrictive, terminating the account if you lose just 5% total or risk more than 2% in a single position.
Restrictions that add up
The combined effect of these rules creates a specific "trading cage" for each firm. At Mubite, the 10-day minimum trading rule combined with the 5% withdrawal cap and the crypto-only restriction means you are forced into a slow-paced, single-market environment where you cannot quickly extract large windfalls. At The5ers, the restriction is more technical and geographical: the news-trading bans in High Stakes, the 3.5% payout fees, and the strict 2% risk-per-trade limit in Bootcamp force a very disciplined, almost institutional style of trading that excludes many retail strategies and residents of dozens of countries.
Frequently asked questions
Which firm is more expensive to start a $100,000 challenge, Mubite or The5ers?
Mubite is significantly more expensive for this account size. A $100,000 Two-Step evaluation at Mubite costs $729, whereas The5ers offers its $100,000 High Stakes evaluation for between $405 and $455. This means that for the price of one attempt at Mubite, you could almost afford two attempts at The5ers.
Which firm allows you to withdraw your money with fewer fees, Mubite or The5ers?
Mubite is the better option regarding fees, as it charges 0% on payouts. In contrast, The5ers charges a 3.5% commission on withdrawals made via Rise, Crypto, or Bank Transfer. However, Mubite limits your freedom by capping each withdrawal at 5% of the account size, a restriction that The5ers does not impose.
Who has more restrictive rules for using EAs and bots, Mubite or The5ers?
Mubite is much more restrictive. It prohibits all public or third-party EAs, only allowing bots if the trader can prove they developed the strategy themselves. The5ers allows EAs more generally, only prohibiting them if you do not own the source code or if they are used for prohibited strategies like HFT or latency arbitrage.
Which firm offers more freedom regarding tradable assets, Mubite or The5ers?
The5ers offers far more freedom, providing access to Forex, Indices, Commodities, Crypto, and Stocks. Mubite restricts you exclusively to the Crypto market through the ByBit broker, meaning you cannot diversify your trading into traditional financial markets.
