1. Pioneer of Israeli Prop Trading & Asset Management Incubation: Conservative Long-Term Philosophy & Zero Personal Debt Liability
1.1 Founded in 2016 & Long-Term Trader Incubation: Institutional Reputation and Prudent Risk Benchmark
In an industry crowded with short-lived operators designed to harvest registration fees, The5ers (The 5%ers), founded in 2016 with headquarters in Ra'anana, Israel, and corporate compliance operations in London, UK, is internationally recognized as the benchmark for conservative asset management:
- Philosophy of the "Top 5% Career Trader": The founding premise of The5ers is discovering the top 5% of traders capable of generating sustained multi-year positive expectancy. Its evaluation parameters, capital scaling models, and leverage structures actively encourage low-leverage, disciplined swing trading and patient compounding.
- Institutional Liquidity Hedging: Unlike B-book operators that rely solely on simulation churn and challenge failure rates, The5ers operates genuine proprietary trading pools. Verified profitable trader signals are aggregated and routed directly to institutional interbank liquidity providers, establishing a healthy, sustainable commercial ecosystem.
- 8-Year Flawless Payout Record: Operating continuously since 2016 through severe market dislocations and regulatory cleanups, The5ers maintains a 100% on-time profit disbursement record, backed by thousands of 5-star verified reviews on Trustpilot.
1.2 Funded Account Model & Zero Personal Downside Debt
The5ers removes the psychological burden of personal financial ruin from professional traders:
- Substantial Funded Capital Pools: Traders who pass evaluations or select instant funding models manage capital ranging from several thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars;
- 100% Capital Downside Borne by The5ers: Trading losses incurred in funded accounts are absorbed entirely by the firm, with zero personal legal or financial liability on the trader. Total financial risk is strictly capped at the initial participation fee;
- Up to 80%โ100% Industry-Top Profit Split: Traders retain between 80% and 100% of realized net trading profits, providing an institutional bridge to multi-million-dollar career trading.
2. Diverse Funding Models: Hyper Growth Instant Funding, Bootcamp Progressive Trial & $4,000,000 Ceiling
2.1 Hyper Growth Instant Funding: Zero Evaluation Testing, Live Capital Day One
The5ers' signature offering is its industry-disrupting Hyper Growth Instant Funding Plan:
- Bypass Simulation Phases Completely: Traders skip multi-month demo challenges; upon paying the base registration fee, they receive immediate access to a live funded account on Day 1;
- First Profit Milestone Withdrawable: Net trading profits can be requested as soon as the first milestone is hit within regular withdrawal intervals;
- Doubling Scaling Plan:
- Every time the account achieves a 10% net profit milestone, the firm doubles the nominal account size (100% linear leap);
- Progresses from $10,000 to $20,000, then $40,000, $80,000, scaling exponentially up to an industry-leading $4,000,000 ($4 Million) capital ceiling!
2.2 Bootcamp Progressive Trial: Ultra-Low-Risk Career Growth Path
For disciplined traders with constrained upfront capital, The5ers designed the Bootcamp Challenge Model:
- Ultra-Low Entry Barrier: Traders pay a minimal symbolic entry fee (~โฌ95 for a $100,000 challenge track);
- Three-Stage Objective Validation: Complete three consecutive simulated phases verifying risk discipline, targeting a 6% profit milestone per phase;
- Final Fee Only Upon Passing: Traders only pay the remaining activation fee (~โฌ205) upon completing all three stages and passing identity verification, immediately receiving a funded account from $100,000 up to $250,000, eligible for scaling up to $4,000,000.
2.3 High Stakes Two-Step Challenge: High Leverage & Up to 100% Profit Split
- Standard Two-Stage Challenge: Step 1 target of 8%โ10%, Step 2 target of 5%, with a minimum of only 3 profitable days and unlimited trading duration;

- 100% Fee Refund: Initial evaluation fees are fully reimbursed alongside the first successful profit withdrawal.
3. Forgiving Drawdown Architecture: Eliminating Midnight Traps, Static 6%โ10% Stop & Mandatory Stop Loss Discipline
3.1 Eliminating Midnight Daily Traps: No Daily Drawdown in Hyper Growth & Bootcamp
Unlike predatory platforms that weaponize midnight floating equity snapshots to artificially fail accounts, The5ers adopts trader-centric risk parameters:
- Zero Daily Loss Limits in Hyper Growth & Bootcamp: In Hyper Growth and Bootcamp plans, there is no restrictive 5% daily drawdown rule. A trader enduring an unexpected 4% intraday retracement remains fully compliant as long as the absolute maximum stop-out line is respected;
- Static Maximum Drawdown (Static Max Loss):
- Hyper Growth enforces an absolute maximum loss locked at 6% of initial capital;
- High Stakes enforces a 10% absolute maximum stop (paired with a balance-based 5% daily buffer);
- No Trailing Drawdowns: The stop level never ratchets upward when profits accumulate, ensuring safety margins widen with profitability.
3.2 Mandatory Stop Loss Rule
The5ers treats trading without stop losses as unhedged gambling, enforcing systematic risk parameters:
- Compulsory Stop Loss Requirement: Every open order must have a valid Stop Loss attached within a designated timeframe (typically minutes after execution);
- 2% Maximum Risk per Trade: The potential loss on any single trade hitting its stop loss must not exceed 2% of total account equity, mathematically preventing catastrophic blowups.
4. Swing Trader Haven: Weekend Holding Freedom, Macro News Flexibility & MT5 Hedge Multi-Asset Universe
4.1 Unrestricted Weekend Holding & News Execution
For macro trend followers and higher-timeframe swing traders, The5ers provides an accommodating operating environment:
- Full Weekend Holding Permitted: Traders are never forced to liquidate winning trend positions before Friday's close, fully enabling multi-week swing positioning;
- Macro News Freedom: During Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), FOMC rate decisions, or CPI announcements, existing positions can be carried through volatility without forced closures.
4.2 MetaTrader 5 (MT5 Hedge) Platform & Asset Matrix
- Native MT5 Hedge Execution: Full integration with MetaTrader 5, supporting custom technical indicators, algorithmic execution, and compliant Expert Advisors (EAs);
- Diverse Tradable Assets:
- Major, minor, and exotic foreign exchange currency pairs;
- Commodities & Metals: Spot Gold (
XAU/USD), Silver (XAG/USD), WTI & Brent Crude Oil; - Global Indices: S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones 30, DAX 40;

4.3 Strictly Banned Abusive Practices

- High-frequency latency arbitrage and tick scalping;
- Account sharing and commercial EA pass services.
5. 80% to 100% Profit Split Execution: First Withdrawal Fee Refund, Bi-Weekly Payouts & Position Sizing SOP
5.1 Fast Payout Cadence & 100% Registration Fee Refund
- Bi-Weekly Profit Distributions: Funded traders can submit withdrawal requests every 14 days (bi-weekly);
- 100% Fee Refund on First Payout: Evaluation challenge fees are fully reimbursed alongside the initial compliant payout;
- Diverse Global Disbursement Channels: Supports Crypto Stablecoins (USDT TRC20/ERC20), Bank Wire Transfers, and Rise compliance payroll infrastructure, typically settled within 1โ2 business days.
5.2 Professional Position Sizing SOP
To compound capital toward the $4M ceiling, traders must employ rigorous mathematical lot sizing:
Position Lot Size = (Account Equity * Risk Percentage) / (Stop Loss in Pips * Pip Value per Lot)
- Gold (
XAU/USD) Practical Example:- On a $100,000 account, cap risk at 0.5% ($500 maximum loss);
- With a $5.00 stop distance on Gold (50 pips, where $1 move = $100 per standard lot):
Lot Size = $500 / (50 * $10) = 1.0 Lot
- Compounding Mindset: Without restrictive daily traps, The5ers rewards disciplined consistency. Focusing on systematic 10% gains triggers successive capital doublings, providing a pathway to institutional capital independence.
