The5ers Futures - Futures Firm Reviews

I went with The 5ers based on their past reputation, but recent issues like payout delays, mandatory pre-payout interviews, and cheap promotional offers show they aren't the same firm. Worse, they have a trap built into their scaling program. 1. Forced Scale-Up & Locked Profits: I passed a $25k futures account and hit a 10% profit. This automatically triggered a scale-up. After their 20% split, my remaining earnings ($1,000+ USD) were locked inside the new scaled account rather than being paid out. 1. The 4% Trap & Zero Cushion: To request a payout on the scaled account, they force you to hit a new 4% profit target. However, while trading toward this, I breached the account. Crucially, they locked my previous real profits but refused to let me use those same profits as a risk cushion/buffer above the drawdown level. 3. Total Wipeout: Because of a breach on the new scaled tier, they wiped my entire previous profit balance ($1,000+ USD) down to $0. They trap your earnings by forcing a scale-up, refuse to let you use your own money as a safety buffer, and then confiscate everything. I went through a 13-email back-and-forth with their support and risk management teams, and they completely hid behind rigid rules, stating that any breach on a scaled phase voids past payouts entirely. Conclusion: Traders, be careful. Do not let them force a scale-up. If you hit 9%, just withdraw your profits and walk away. Avoid the 10% trap that lets them swallow your earnings. You lost a customer, The 5ers.

They have a reliable customer support, a scaling plan where your funded capital grows over time, no time limit on evaluations and also no hidden trading rules

Simply the best prop firm! The Futures program using the Black Arrow platform is flawless to be honest. Rules are clear - you're free to trade! Support is friendly and I also check in on the live-streams daily. Unmatched prop firm.
