Good swing Futures program
The 5ers are a solid, trustworthy, and reliable trading partner. I definitely recommend them to any trader looking for a prop firm. What specifically attracted me to their futures trading program is the ability to swing trade futures and be in a trade for the full 75-80% without having to hop in and out every end of day. One criticism: The 5ers use the Black Arrow trading platform which is good, but not when a trader selects Black Arrow One. This version does not have the option of OCO and the placement of SL and target orders. Simply said, it is a recipe for a short-term trading experience. On top of that, the 5ers do not allow changing the Black Arrow One platform to the Plus at any stage of the account. Once you've bought the One version, you'll have to stick to it. For that reason I expect that - even after passing the challenge and being funded - I will have to take a new challenge soon. Obviously this time I'll make sure to take the Black Arrow Plus version for a small additional fee.

Constant issues with 5ers BlackArrow
Constant issues from the start with 5ers BlackArrow futures trading. Third of the way through the eval program and I get two emails; the first stated I have left a trade open over the weekend and therefore they were closing the account- not correct as no trade left over weekend and the second I had exceeded by daily loss- not correct. Had to wait for a reply to my email with 5ers confirming issues BlackArrow and gave me two new programs,. one immediate disabled and one which had no profit I had made. Complained to 5ers who gave me a discount. Tried taking on new account but was blocked. Managed to make one trade which made $1400 profit but this did not show on my account. Now I am blocked from making trades on program and waiting to hear from 5ers about what if happening.

Dear Trader,
Thank you for taking the time to provide further details regarding your experience with BlackArrow Futures.
We understand that the issues you encountered were frustrating, and we reviewed the concerns you raised with the relevant teams. The initial account termination and subsequent account issues were related to technical problems affecting the BlackArrow environment, which were acknowledged and addressed. As a resolution, your original account was replaced with a new account, and additional compensation was also provided.
Regarding the profit you mentioned that did not appear on your dashboard, this was also reviewed. Our investigation confirmed that the trades in question were not executed on your assigned The5ers evaluation account. The BlackArrow execution window allows different accounts to be selected, including local demo or simulator accounts, and trades placed on those accounts do not register on the The5ers dashboard. Therefore, the associated profit cannot be transferred to or reflected on the evaluation account.
The subsequent issue where you were unable to place trades was also addressed. We identified that the incorrect account was selected in the BlackArrow execution window, and once the correct account was selected, you confirmed that you were able to trade successfully.
We appreciate that you experienced several issues during this process, and we have taken the relevant concerns into consideration. However, based on the investigations and resolutions provided, we have not identified any outstanding issue with your current account or an unresolved loss of evaluation profits.
The case has been reviewed and the relevant issues have been addressed. We therefore consider this matter fully reviewed and closed.
Best regards,
The5ers Futures Team

I really like the rules for the futures…
I really like the rules for the futures platform, as they fit my trading style very well. The EOD drawdown, no buffer, and consistency being based on individual trades rather than daily profit are all things I really appreciate. The per-trade consistency rule, in particular, is a big plus for me.
Because futures is relatively new to The5ers, I have experienced quite a few technical glitches between the Hub and BlackArrow. While I understand that a newer futures offering can come with some growing pains, I do think the technical side could be more reliable. These issues can be particularly stressful when you're actively trading, because you need to be able to trust that your platform, account information and trades are all syncing and displaying correctly. Especially, when there are open trades that are displaying on the Hub, but you have ZERO open trades - the particular program I have requires you to close all trades by 5 EST.
That said, support has always been great to work with and has been helpful when issues arise. Sometimes the wait for resolution can be a little long, but I have generally found the support team to be helpful and willing to work through the problems.
Over the summer, there may have been some vacation scheduling involved because it took 21+ days to receive my first withdrawal. Combined with the technical issues I was experiencing, that did create some additional psychological stress on top of the usual mental challenges that come with trading. I was willing to give some grace for that.
I also had to complete a risk review, which I was happy to do. However, I found the individual conducting the review to be quite abrupt, which made the experience less than ideal.
So far, I have received three withdrawals. My third withdrawal was less than I had expected because the withdrawal cap had been changed, but the change had not been communicated to traders on this particular account. This is another area where I think The5ers could improve: communication around changes to account rules and payout conditions needs to be clearer and more proactive.
As for BlackArrow, I much prefer it over Tradovate. I like being able to set my stop loss and take profit and actually see the dollar amount I am risking or potentially making. With Tradovate, that functionality isn't as straightforward and some of it has to be set up through templates. I also find BlackArrow fast when entering trades.
Overall, I am happy with The5ers and enjoy trading with them. I think the rules are very well suited to my trading style, and I really like BlackArrow. Support has also been good when I've needed help.
The biggest things I would like to see improved are **technical reliability, communication around changes, and more frequent withdrawals**.
Ideally, I would love to see weekly or 5-day withdrawals. A lot of the other firms I have been researching allow traders on a $50K account to withdraw around $2,000 every 5–7 days, whereas The5ers currently limits withdrawals to 3% ($1,500) every 14 days on this account. For me, the length of time between payout requests is probably the biggest drawback.
Despite the issues I've experienced, I have received three withdrawals and I am overall happy with The5ers. I think they have a very good futures program, and with some improvements to the technical side, communication, and payout frequency, it could be an excellent one.

Dear Trader,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and balanced review.
We are very glad to hear that the Futures program rules fit your trading style well, especially the EOD drawdown structure, the consistency rule based on individual trades, and your overall experience with BlackArrow. It is also great to know that you have already received three withdrawals and that you are generally happy trading with The5ers.
At the same time, we fully understand the concerns you raised. Since our Futures offering is still relatively new, we are continuously working to improve the technical reliability between the Hub and BlackArrow. We understand how important it is for traders to have accurate account information, trade status, and platform synchronization, especially when managing open positions or following specific close-time requirements.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding payout timelines, withdrawal frequency, and communication around rule or payout-condition changes. These are important parts of the trader experience, and your comments have been noted carefully. Clearer communication and a smoother technical process are areas we are actively working to improve.
Regarding the risk review experience, we are sorry to hear that the interaction felt abrupt. Reviews are an important part of our risk and compliance process, but we agree that they should be handled professionally and respectfully. Your feedback on this has also been taken seriously.
We truly appreciate your patience, your honest feedback, and the fair way you presented both the positive parts of your experience and the areas where you believe we can improve. Feedback like this helps us continue developing the Futures program in the right direction.
Thank you again for being part of The5ers. We wish you continued success with your trading journey and future withdrawals.
Best regards,

Account Blocked After Successfully Completing the Evaluation
I successfully completed my The5ers Futures evaluation and received my funded account. However, when I tried to place a trade on the funded account, I was unable to trade because it showed “Account has been blocked by broker.”
I have contacted The5ers support regarding this issue, but unfortunately, the problem has still not been resolved.
It is very frustrating to complete the evaluation successfully and then be unable to use the funded account because of a broker-related issue.
I hope The5ers takes this matter seriously and provides a clear explanation and a proper solution as soon as possible.
I will update this review if the issue gets resolved.

The 5ers Scaling Plan is a Hidden Trap – Confiscated My Real Profits!
I went with The 5ers based on their reputation, longevity, and positive reviews. However, recent signs like cheap promotional offers, payout delays, and hidden rules make it clear they aren't the same firm they used to be. Worse, they have a predatory, undocumented trap hidden in their scaling plan.
I passed a $25k futures account and hit a 10% profit. Under their automatic scaling program, my account was scaled up, and after their 20% split, my remaining earnings ($1,000+ USD) were locked inside the new scaled phase instead of being paid out.
Here is where the scam-like structure kicks in:
The Forced Scale-Up Trap: To request a payout on the scaled account, they force you to trade a new 4% target. While trading toward this, I breached the daily drawdown limit on the new phase.
1. No Buffer or Cushion: They locked my previously earned and confirmed profits inside the scaled account, yet refused to let me use those profits as a risk cushion or buffer above my daily drawdown level.
2. Total Confiscation: Because of a breach on the new scaled phase, they wiped my entire previous profit balance ($1,000+ USD) down to $0, treating locked-in earnings as forfeit.
I went through a 13-email back-and-forth with their support and risk management teams, and they completely hid behind rigid, unfair rules—stating that once an account is terminated, all funds inside it are forfeit.
Traders, beware: Do not trust their scaling plan. If you hit 9%, just withdraw your money. If you hit 10% and get forcefully scaled, your locked-in profits become a hostage asset that you can't use as a buffer, only to be wiped out if a breach happens.
You lost a customer, The 5ers. Shame on your predatory policies.

Reply from The5ers Futures
Dear Parag,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for explaining your concerns in detail.
We understand your frustration regarding the treatment of the carried over profit balance following the scaling of your account, especially as this was your first expected payout. We recognize the effort and performance that went into reaching the scaling stage and understand why this situation was disappointing.
We have thoroughly reviewed your account history, the applicable program terms, and the communications surrounding your case. As previously explained, once an account is scaled, the carried over profit balance becomes part of the new active account structure. Following the subsequent breach of the 4% EOD Trailing Drawdown limit, the account was terminated in accordance with the applicable rules, and the remaining balance is no longer eligible for withdrawal.
We understand that you may disagree with how the scaling structure operates, and we respect your position. Our Management team has reviewed the matter in detail and provided a final clarification regarding the account and the applicable terms.
We have also provided you with a resolution to help you move forward and continue your trading journey with The5ers. At this stage, we are awaiting your response regarding the resolution offered.
We sincerely appreciate the time and effort you invested in your trading journey with us. We hope the matter can be brought to a positive conclusion and wish you continued success in your future trading.
Best regards,

Trader ID 1255789 – Unacceptable 17-day delay and "Blocked by Broker" error!
I am deeply disappointed with the operational efficiency of The5ers. I successfully passed my Futures 1-Step Evaluation back on August 7th. Today is August 24th, which means it has been 17 days, and my funded account is still completely unusable!My KYC has been fully cleared and approved. On my dashboard, the account status shows a green "Funded" icon, but the backend is clearly frozen on "Waiting for Risk".When I log into the Black Arrow platform to trade, every single order is rejected with a hard server error: "Account is blocked. Blocked by broker." It is obvious that the Risk Team forgot to whitelist or unblock my account credentials on the live Nelogica trading server.I have sent multiple emails and today I received a template reply from support asking me to wait another 24-48 working hours. Waiting almost 3 weeks for a simple server-side account activation is highly unprofessional. If a standard account setup takes 17 days and requires constant escalation, it makes me deeply question how delayed and unreliable their profit payout process will be in the future.I demand immediate manual intervention from a Senior Risk Manager to fix this technical synchronization bug and activate my account #1255789 today.

Dear Michał,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for bringing your concerns to our attention.
We sincerely apologize for the extended delay you experienced following the successful completion of your evaluation. We fully understand how frustrating it must have been to complete the required steps and then have to wait longer than expected before being able to begin trading your funded account. We also recognize that the communication during this period did not meet the level of clarity and timeliness we aim to provide to our traders.
We have carefully reviewed your case and can confirm that the matter has now been fully resolved. Your funded account has been successfully activated, and you are now able to proceed with your trading as intended.
We understand that delays of this nature can be particularly discouraging, especially after you have invested time, effort, and commitment into successfully completing your evaluation. Your feedback regarding the waiting time and communication has been taken seriously, and we appreciate you giving us the opportunity to investigate and resolve the matter.
Our goal is to provide traders with a smooth and reliable experience throughout every stage of their journey, from evaluation through to the funded stage and beyond. While your experience did not meet those expectations, we are pleased that we were able to address the situation and get your account fully operational.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding while the matter was being resolved. Most importantly, we hope that you can now put this experience behind you and focus on what matters most: your trading. We wish you continued success with your funded account and hope to see you make the most of the opportunities ahead.
Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing The5ers. We remain committed to supporting you throughout your trading journey.

Dear Mike,
We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your experience, and we understand that having an account terminated can be frustrating, particularly when you believed you had received different information regarding holding positions.
We have carefully reviewed your case, including your account activity and the support conversations you had with our team before the account was terminated. We want to clarify that the termination was not based on an arbitrary decision or a misunderstanding of your account.
Prior to your trading activity, our Support Team provided you with the applicable Swing account requirements, including the limitations on the number of contracts that can be held overnight.
Our review also confirmed that the account was holding 4 contracts on NQU6. In addition to exceeding the permitted overnight position size, the positions were held over the weekend, which is not permitted under the Swing account rules. These requirements apply regardless of whether the trader intended to hold the position for a longer period or believed that holding positions overnight was generally permitted.
We understand your point that you were told overnight trading was allowed. However, permission to hold positions overnight does not remove the applicable position size and weekend holding restrictions. This is why we reviewed the complete conversation history rather than relying only on a single statement.
Regarding your refund request, trading had already commenced on the account and the account was subsequently terminated due to a confirmed rule violation. Under our Terms & Conditions, fees are non refundable once trading has commenced, so we are unable to issue a refund in this case.
We also understand that you mentioned contacting your bank regarding the payment. Regardless of any external dispute, our records clearly document the relevant account activity and the information provided to you before trading. We have therefore completed our review and the decision remains unchanged.
We appreciate the time you spent with The5ers and regret that the experience ended this way. However, we believe it is important to provide this clarification so that other traders can understand that the account was terminated following a documented breach of the applicable Swing account rules, rather than as a random or arbitrary decision.
We consider this matter fully reviewed and closed, and we wish you the best in your future trading endeavors.
Best regards,
The5ers Futures Team
