The5ers — Funded Stage Rules & AI Trust Score

Hidden Rules & Critical Conditions

• Dual-entity structure and Israeli dispute venue [Critical]: The Terms name both UK and Israeli Five Percent Online Ltd entities and submit disputes to Israeli law and Tel Aviv courts, even though the public brand reads like a single UK prop firm.
• Passing evaluation does not guarantee funded acceptance [Critical]: The Terms state that if you complete the evaluation and verification, The5ers may offer you to become a Funded User, and completion does not guarantee acceptance.
• Mandatory video interview can void payouts [Critical]: If The5ers requests an interview during verification, the trader must schedule it within 5 business days or pending payouts can be denied and all associated accounts canceled.
• EA policy conflicts across official pages [Warning]: The help center says you can use any EA that is not abusive, but the Terms say automated trading software may need prior written approval and ban third-party/source-hidden software. The help center also bans stealth stop loss and copied-signal EAs.
• High Stakes news-execution trap [Warning]: High Stakes allows holding trades over news, but any order executed from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news is prohibited; profits are deducted while losses remain with the trader.
• Withdrawals are biweekly, fee-loaded and capped on crypto [Warning]: The5ers charges 3.5% on Rise, crypto and bank-transfer payouts, sets a $150 minimum payout after split, caps crypto at $1,500 per withdrawal, and resets the withdrawal timer after scaling.
• Program documentation is in transition: Newer help-center pages introduce ProGrowth and 3 profitable days, while older Hyper Growth pages still show older labels, older pricing and older no-minimum-days wording.
• High Stakes Scaling Gate: ≥0.5% Realized Profit Required Per Qualifying Day [Critical]: To unlock the next capital tier on High Stakes (scaling), you must complete 3 consecutive qualifying trading days where each day generates at least 0.5% of initial account balance in realized (closed) profit. This is NOT just "3 profitable days." A day where you close +0.3% net profit — still a winning day — does NOT count as a qualifying day for scaling purposes. On a $100K High Stakes account, each qualifying day requires closing at least $500 in profit. The threshold resets if you have a losing day before completing all 3 qualifying days. Traders using conservative position sizing (≤0.2% risk per trade) may find High Stakes scaling eligibility structurally out of reach without increasing risk beyond their comfort zone.
