5ers Reviews 159

Honestly the best prop firm with outstanding customer service especially from Seun.

Have had a great experience with the 5ers for a few years now. Have made a few $K in withdrawals in that time.
I love you can scale up your account to $2million!
Stay within the written rules and you can trade your way and style.
Highly recommended the 5ers to use as your go to prop firm.

Took me 4 months to pass phase 1 & 2 with careful trading. I then passed and they offered me a 1:10 leverage account as well as other limiting risk factors and claimed I had used 'risky trading' without providing any evidence or rule breaks. Avoid like the plague.

I’m exposing The 5%ers for what they truly are — a prop firm scam that punishes success instead of rewarding it.

After trading with full discipline and consistency [Total payouts received $87K in just 5 months & one of my previous high stakes account scaled to $300K], I was building profits steadily — and instead of getting rewarded, they suddenly terminated my account with a false accusation of “copytrading.” Their so-called “proof” was that my account shared a similar IP address with someone else.
Seriously? In today’s world of shared networks, VPNs, and dynamic IPs, that’s their excuse to erase weeks of hard work and avoid a payout?

They didn’t show a single piece of real evidence. They didn’t even let me explain or defend myself.
The truth is simple — once you start making real profits, The 5%ers get scared.
They know paying consistent, skilled traders cuts into their business model, which mainly depends on selling endless evaluations to new traders who never reach payout.
The 5%ers love to market themselves as an “A-Book Prop Firm” — claiming that all trader accounts are connected directly to real market liquidity providers and that they make money only when traders win. In reality, The 5%ers operates exactly like a B-Book firm — they route most traders’ orders internally, take the opposite side of trades, and profit when traders lose.
If they were truly A-Book, they would never fear consistent profitable traders. But as soon as someone starts performing too well or reaching payout level, they terminate the account with fake excuses like “copytrading” or “IP connection.”

I was a consistent trader — I’ve scaled accounts before, I know how to manage risk, and they knew I could pull serious profits. So instead of paying, they looked for any random reason to label me as a “rule breaker” and shut me down.

And to make it worse — they refused to refund my evaluation fees after banning me without a single valid reason. That shows everything about their ethics (or lack thereof).

The 5%ers is not a trader-friendly firm — it’s a trader trap.

They’ll happily take your money for evaluations, but the moment you become profitable enough to withdraw a big payout, they’ll find a fake excuse to terminate you.

Traders, don’t waste your time and skills here. There are many honest prop firms out there — The 5%ers is NOT one of them.

I will expose this scam across every trading forum, community, and social platform until they stop exploiting traders and hiding behind fake “compliance reviews.”

This is the best prop firm among numerous platforms. I got my first withdrawal within 24 hours. Quick and a trustworthy platform.
P.s.(updated on 30/01/2026)
My last payout hold and account terminated without valid reason. They didnt send me any proof for rule violation.

1.if you dont want me to spread this news every where plz send me the reliable detailed evidence about my above mentioning activities like you are sending for other people who are actually doing cordinated trading or shared trading
2.untill i get my whole payout or half of it or untill you proove me the things i have done i will not stop.i will tell every one and at every possible place about the reality of your company.its not public defamation.im not spreading false information.i will spread the truth for everyones safety.i will not let your company ruin poor traders' lives.because they are doing more than what you know for their success.i think rather than you guys taking legal actions against me to public defamation,i should take legal actions against your company to looting my hard earned money.shame on you!
Plz provide me details about the things i have done.thats all.untill that i will not stop..)

Excited to announce that I've passed the 5ers High Stakes 60k Challenge Step 2. The experience was great and seamless. My funded account is currently undergoing activation process. I will be back to detail my full experience with 5ers after my account is fully activated and functional. However, I must mention that their customer service is top notch. Thank you so much.

Ok good the5ers

mene 2 phase pass kar liya to bhi muje real aacount nahi diya.jab baat huva to bol rahe he kyc karavo kyc kiya to bol rahe he nahi chalega indian adharcard.....
pyment bhi refund nahi kar rahe he

spreads are worst now even in zero spread pairs..
many times happened that I set a order with 100 Sl, order actives at different price and sl changed to 120, when it hits sl then again extra slippage it cost me 135... i contacted support 5 times and they tell me same stories like slippage, Mt5 memory issue, even Tp is closing before my set price,,, they are giving us maximum loss and minimum reward from 1 month,, before that everything was perfect..

I found this prop firm really great inn terms of spreads and its pricing as well.

They have the worst spreads in the market. They take out your SL without the price even reach it. I dont trust them anymore. It is better to find another popfirm company. It is waste of time and money.

So far one of the best propfirm I have come across. Seamless customer support and fastest trade execution along with multiple ongoin support and growth programs make it more exciting to go on with.

Customer Service, Dominic was really patient with my multiple questions and he gave satisfactory answers. Truly helpful.

After multiple experiences with 5ers , I can assure it's the best one out there , right from customer support to spreads to payouts everything. Love it. And spoke with lucian , he was kind and generous in helping me in the best way possible.

I failed the KYC verification due to mismatch address from my ID and the enabled location where anyone could've accidentally opened it if they were not at home like idk ? at WORK?! I contacted support and they were so slow to fix this... I waited 4 days only to get an email that they didn't approve it and it's finalized and cannot be reopened. It says on my account hub that the verification is expired and I need to contact 5ers support to start a new verification. This is actually a lie then since they already finalized everything right? What a waste of time and money. I'd rather go back to FTMO or use a different prop firm instead.

I purchased a 1-step challenge. The daily pause was hit but my trades were not automatically closed out. I reached out to livechat and was told to not close the trades and I asked my balance to be restored to the daily pause level. I was told my case would be escalated. I got an email from this "escalated" team with nothing but a snapshot of my dashboard and an explanation of what the daily pause was. I reached out to livechat again and was told I would be escalated again and should hear within 2-3 hours. 7 hours past so I reached out again and was told "sorry it is the weekend now". I cant believe Im being made to jump through so many hoops to get my account restored and the lack of attention from customer service does NOT reflect the 5ers reputation.

I’ve had a great experience with The 5%ers so far. The platform is professional, and their trading programs are well-structured for both beginners and advanced traders. The rules are clear, spreads are competitive, and execution speed is smooth. What I really appreciate is their transparency and fast support team — responses are quick and helpful whenever I have questions.

The scaling plan is also very attractive, allowing consistent traders to grow their accounts over time. Payouts have been reliable, and the whole process feels trustworthy. For anyone serious about trading and looking for a reputable prop firm, The 5%ers is definitely worth considering.

I passed phase 1 according to their profit target on the dashboard. I didn’t receive confirmation so I emailed them. I got the response to kindly refresh my dashboard. I do this and to my surprise they deducted 1.2% of my profits. I emailed them with screenshots of the proof, but they basically ignore me.

They also liquidated me by changing the spreads to about 4.5 pips in a second, without platforms like Tradingview showing high volatility at that time. To make matters worse, according to my trade history this happened 1 hour and 20 minutes into the future(!), which would be during rollover. That sounds like a complete scam to me.

I got funded and the first payout was very fast no hustle.. i recommend new traders for take challenge with patience and get funded.

I just had a experience, I couldn't stop myself from posting this review,

account - bootcamp 25k
Phase - 1
Pair - Eurusd
Trade size - 1.20 lots
Leverage - 1:10
Time - Just after NY close

I opened a trade and it directly opened into -120 USD loss position

I haven't seen anything this fraudulent in any other American prop firm ever.

One can never become profitable with these kind of fraudsters running prop firms, no matter how disciplined you are.

Stay away mates, This world is doomed.
