    Overview

    The5ers was founded in 2016. Its website is owned by FIVE PERCENT ONLINE LTD, incorporated in Israel and in the UK. This review covers two CFD programs, High Stakes (2-step, default “New” variant) and Pro Growth (1-step). The platform FAQ lists MT5, cTrader (extra $10) and TradingView for non-US clients and only TradingView for US clients, while the program pages name only MT5. Facts were checked on 7 October 2026.

    Programs and prices

    Fees are one-time, in US dollars, with no recurring fees.

    • High Stakes: $2,500 for $19, $5,000 for $35, $10,000 for $69, $25,000 for $176, $50,000 for $249, $100,000 for $405.
    • Pro Growth: $5,000 for $52, $10,000 for $98, $20,000 for $189, $50,000 for $329.

    Part of the High Stakes fee comes back: 10% and 20% as Hub credits after Steps 1 and 2, and 70% added to the funded account, withdrawable with the first payout (after 14 days and at least $150 profit; external payments only).

    Rules

    • High Stakes: profit targets of 10% and 5%, at least 3 profitable days per step (closed profit of at least 0.5% of the initial balance). The daily loss limit and maximum loss are 5% and 10% for $2,500 to $25,000 and, on the program page, 4% and 8% for $50,000 and $100,000 (the FAQs give 5% and 10% for all sizes). No order may be executed from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news.
    • Pro Growth: a 10% profit target, 3 profitable days (page text and the FAQ say no minimum), 3% daily and 6% maximum loss. News trading is allowed, except bracket strategies around news.

    Daily loss is measured from the higher of the day’s starting balance or equity (00:00 server time); maximum loss is measured from the initial balance. Overnight and weekend holding is allowed. Expert advisors are allowed, except for copying others’ signals, tick scalping, arbitrage and HFT.

    Payouts

    The first High Stakes payout comes 14 days after funding, then every 2 weeks. The profit split starts at 80% and can reach 100% as the account scales; payouts are capped at $3,000 ($50,000 account) and $4,000 ($100,000 account). On Pro Growth, the first payout comes 14 days after activation, then every 14 days, with a 75% split at the start. The minimum withdrawal is $150; Rise, crypto and bank transfer each cost 3.5% (plus bank fees for transfers).

    Countries

    The5ers does not accept clients from 30 countries and territories listed in its FAQ, plus five regions of Ukraine. They include Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territory, Syria and Yemen in the Middle East; Libya, Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia in Africa; and Cuba and Venezuela in Latin America.
