The5ers at a glance
An established prop trading firm, reviewed by the Tradelytic team and rated by traders.
The 5%ers is a proprietary trading firm offering evaluation challenges across account sizes from $6,000 to $400,000. Traders can choose between a one-step or two-step assessment model before trading a funded account with a profit split of up to 100%. The firm has built a strong and well-established reputation in the prop trading market, combining the highest profit split ceiling available with the largest maximum funded account size in our current review set, on-demand payouts, no evaluation time limit, and a free retry option.
Its strongest points are the 100% profit split ceiling, the $400,000 maximum funded account size, dual challenge flexibility, on-demand payouts, no time limit, and a free retry. The main trade-off is an entry-level account size of $6,000 – slightly above the $5,000 floor at some competitors – and a verified review base that, while solid, sits below the most established name in the industry.

Fees & platforms
What it costs to trade, and what you'll trade on.
The 5%ers charges a one-time challenge fee that varies by account size, with no ongoing monthly subscription. Account sizes run from $6,000 to $400,000 – the widest capital range in our current review set. Traders choose between a one-step path with a single combined profit target, or a two-step path across a Challenge and Verification phase with incremental targets at each stage.
Trading rules
The core rules are a maximum daily loss and a maximum overall loss (drawdown), both measured against the starting balance. There is no minimum trading-days requirement and no time limit on either evaluation path, giving traders full freedom to complete the challenge at their own pace without deadline pressure.
Payouts
Funded traders can request payouts on demand, with the profit split reaching up to 100% – the only firm in our review set offering full profit retention. Always confirm the current fee schedule, rules, and profit-split terms directly with The 5%ers before purchasing a challenge.
