The5ers

The5ers celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026 and its new website layout looks nice. The problems begin when taking a closer look. For the CFD products, the profit split is advertised as up to 100%. What does “up to” mean? There is no tooltip, no link to details, nothing. The help guides are hidden in the footer instead of being made available in the navigation. So I checked the FAQs and found out that the profit split starts at 50/50. Before you reach the 100% profit split, you have to scale your account from an initial balance of $20,000 to (are you ready?) $1.28 million USD. Factually correct, sure, but for transparency reasons there should at least be a mention of the full range (50% to 100%), or a tooltip, or a link to the details. The CFD side is what it is: familiar and established. The more interesting question in 2026 is what The5ers is doing in futures.

What’s also new in 2026 is The5ers Futures offer. Like I pointed out in my prop firm statistics, the prop firm forex market share is tanking and only firms that adapt to the popular assets preferred by prop traders will remain popular long term. The5ers has two account sizes for futures traders, 25K and 50K. Both are 1-step challenges. You can choose between the Basecamp program or the Rebate program. The main difference is that Basecamp charges an activation fee once you’re funded, while the Rebate program does not. However, the price discrepancy between the two is so high that the Rebate program rarely makes sense. The other difference is commissions: the Rebate program refunds all commissions paid at the end of each trading day, while Basecamp does not. The5ers is the first prop firm I’ve seen structure it this way. In the Basecamp program, you pay $50 for the 25K evaluation and a $70 activation fee once funded. The 50K evaluation costs $100, with a $140 activation fee once funded.

There are two significant drawbacks compared to other prop firms. First, the consistency rule of 30% is active across all stages, both evaluation and funded. Most other prop firms apply it to one stage or the other, not both. Second, the scaling plan caps the number of contracts available once funded at a lower level than during the challenge, which will frustrate traders who were comfortable with their position sizing during the evaluation. The only trading platform supported on futures accounts is BlackArrow.

A positive thing on futures challenges, The5ers uses an EOD drawdown method, which means the new drawdown for the next trading session gets calculated at the end of the current trading session, which is a beneficial logic for prop traders.

The5ers has been around long enough to outlast most of its competitors, and that matters. It pays out, it’s financially stable, and it’s not going anywhere. The futures pricing sits at the higher end. Overall, The5ers suits traders who prioritize stability over low fees.

Prop Firm Details

The5ers Futures Basecamp

Prop Firm	Account Size	Instrument	Steps	Profit Target	Drawdown Type	Max Loss	Daily Loss	Consistency Rule Eval | Funded	Max. Contracts Mini | Micro	Profit Split	Activation Fee if Funded	Price
	25K	Futures	1‑Step	$1,500	EOD	$750	None	30% | 30%	2 | 20	80%	$70	$50
	50K	Futures	1‑Step	$3,000	EOD	$1,500	None	30% | 30%	4 | 40	80%	$140	$100

The Basecamp program charges a one-time upfront evaluation fee plus an activation fee paid only after passing the evaluation. The profit target during evaluation is 6% of account size; a 4% ongoing target applies in the funded stage. The 3% max loss is an EOD (end-of-day) trailing drawdown that anchors to the all-time highest midnight balance or equity, meaning it can rise as your account grows but never decreases. There is no separate daily loss limit in either phase. The 30% consistency rule is a per-position rule: no single trade may account for more than 30% of total profits. A soft breach is allowed, meaning you can continue trading to bring the ratio into compliance rather than failing the account outright.
