The5ers Reviews

I have been a funded trader with The5ers and successfully traded their capital according to my own strategy. After several payout cycles, my account was suddenly terminated when I submitted another payout request. The reason provided was that my trading was considered "uncommercial," involving "disproportionate concentrated exposure," "speculative gambling," and an alleged pattern of taking one trade to hit a payout target and then stopping. I strongly disagree with this conclusion. My trading approach is a high-probability, selective strategy. I do not trade every day simply to create activity. In professional trading, patience and capital preservation are also important parts of risk management. When market conditions do not meet my criteria, I choose not to trade rather than forcing unnecessary positions. The company also argued that I changed my risk profile because I reduced my position size from 40 lots during the evaluation stage to 12.5 lots in the funded stage. However, this interpretation ignores a fundamental principle of trading risk management: risk is not determined by lot size alone. Actual risk depends on position size, stop-loss distance, and account equity. My actual trading risk remained around 1–2% per trade, and reducing exposure when managing a funded account is, in my view, a responsible risk management decision rather than evidence of misconduct. Another factor was The5ers' payout processing time, which often took around 12–14 days. During this period, I chose to pause trading while waiting for the payout to be completed. The company later interpreted this as me intentionally stopping after a winning trade to exploit the payout cycle, despite my explanation that it was a risk management choice while awaiting payment. What disappointed me most was the changing justification for the termination. Initially, I was accused of "uncommercial trading behaviour" and "speculative gambling." Later, the focus shifted to my reduced lot size and the fact that my profits came from a small number of high-quality trades. I never exceeded the drawdown limits, never violated any explicit maximum risk rule, and always traded in good faith. My concern is that profitable but selective trading was retrospectively classified as unacceptable only when a payout was requested. I asked the company to provide a clear calculation showing how my actual risk percentage violated their rules and to identify the exact rule that prohibits a trader from reducing their risk in a funded account. I did not receive an explanation that addressed these technical points. I respect that proprietary firms have the right to manage their business risk and establish rules. However, traders should clearly understand whether a strategy that passes evaluation, follows risk limits, and produces profits can later be rejected because the profit distribution or trading frequency does not fit an undefined expectation. I am sharing my experience so other traders can make informed decisions before joining the program.

they blocked instantly as i requested my payout very strange behaviour and after 15 days they are denying my payout saying account integrity and exclusive ownership even i showed them everything

27.05.2026 I requested 518$ from my scaled 12.5K account and for no reason they haven't paid me yet. I've contacted the support, asking why are such postponements became a common deal. They answered "due to internal technical difficulties". Why does then you write 2-4 business days on the dashboard? Anyways is such a pity that somebody should wait so much time just to get rewarded.
