The 5%ers Review: Rules, Profit Split & Payouts
The5ers is a forex prop firm built around scaling. It sells three challenges: the 1-step Growth program, the 2-step High Stakes challenge and the 3-step Bootcamp. Accounts grow on every 10% target in Growth and High Stakes and on every 5% target in Bootcamp, and the firm advertises scaling up to $4M, with the profit split rising to 100% as the balance grows. Traders use MetaTrader 5, cTrader or TradingView on forex, metals, indices, oil and crypto. The5ers says it has been building since 2016. Five Percent Online Ltd runs it from registered offices in London and Raanana, Israel.
High Stakes sets a 10% target in step 1 and 5% in step 2, with a 5% daily and 10% maximum loss. The maximum is static from the initial balance, and the daily limit is taken from the higher of the previous day's balance or equity at 00:00 server time. Growth asks for 10% with a 6% stop-out level and no minimum trading days. Its 3% daily loss works as a daily pause: open trades close and the account stays disabled until the next trading day. The $20K Bootcamp needs 6% in each of its three steps with a 5% max loss. None of the three challenges has a time limit, but an account with no trading for more than 30 consecutive days expires. High Stakes bars orders from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news. The prohibited-practices list covers evaluation and funded accounts alike. It bans HFT, tick scalping, arbitrage, news bracketing, one-sided bets, bulk trading, copy trading with other traders, and EAs whose source code the trader does not own.
The first The5ers payout can be requested 14 days after a funded account is activated, then every 2 weeks, once profit reaches $150. Approved requests are typically processed in up to 3 business days. Payouts go by Rise, crypto or bank transfer with a 3.5% commission, or as commission-free Hub Credits. High Stakes returns 70% of the program fee with the first payout. The fee is refunded in full within 5 days of purchase only if no trade has been placed; after that, refunds come as Hub Credit. Choosing cTrader costs $10 extra.

How The 5%ers compares in size
Measured on estimated monthly website visits for August 2026, The 5%ers ranks 10 of the 477 prop firms Prop Firm Pal tracks — larger than 98% of them, at roughly 2.72M visits a month.
The ranking covers every firm measured between June 2026 and August 2026, each on its own latest reading in that window. Firms last measured before June 2026 are left out rather than shown with a stale figure, so the total moves month to month.
Size is not quality. A large firm is one that markets successfully, and several of the most visited firms in this ranking have the strictest rules; some of the smallest pay out reliably to everyone who asks. What the ranking is useful for is scale — whether you are looking at an established operation or something very new.

FAQs
What is The5ers' profit split?
The5ers lists a profit split of up to 100% on all three challenges. High Stakes starts at 80%, and each program raises the split as the account scales on its targets.
What are The5ers High Stakes challenge rules?
High Stakes is a 2-step challenge with a 10% target in step 1 and 5% in step 2, a 5% daily loss and a 10% maximum loss, and no time limit. Funded accounts need a 10% target and 3 profitable days to scale.
How does The5ers daily drawdown work?
On High Stakes the 5% daily loss is taken from the higher of the previous day's balance or equity at 00:00 server time, and hitting it closes the account. On Growth, and on Bootcamp once funded, a 3% daily pause closes open trades and disables the account until the next trading day.
Does The5ers have a consistency rule?
The5ers' Growth, High Stakes and Bootcamp program pages that Prop Firm Pal read list no consistency rule. A 50% daily consistency figure appears only in a promotional plan table on its homepage, which is not treated as a standing rule here.
Does The5ers allow news trading?
Yes, with limits. High Stakes bars executing orders from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news, and bracketing a release with pending buy and sell orders is prohibited on every program.
