What the rules mean in practice
- There are 2 phases. Phase 1 needs $10,000 profit (10%); Phase 2 needs $5,000 profit (5%). The loss limits apply in every phase.
- On any single day you can lose up to $4,000 (4%). Check The5ers's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
- The account fails if you lose $8,000 (8%). This is static drawdown: the loss limit is fixed at a set distance below your starting balance and never moves.
- At a 80% split, you need about 0.51% return on the funded account to earn back the $405 fee.
- Payouts: every 14 days; first payout 14 days after the funded account is issued.
- The New version has a 10% Step 1 target and a lower fee than the Classic version; risk limits are the same.
- Daily loss is measured from the higher of the day's starting balance or starting equity at MT5 server midnight: 5% on 2.5K to 25K accounts and 4% on 50K and 100K accounts. Maximum loss is 10% (8% on 50K and 100K) of the initial balance.
- Passing Step 1 pays a small reward ($2 on 2.5K up to $40 on 100K) and 10% of the fee as Hub Credits; passing Step 2 adds 20% as Hub Credits. 70% of the fee paid with external funds is returned with the first payout.
- Funded 50K accounts have a $3,000 payout cap and $300 minimum; 100K accounts have a $4,000 cap and $500 minimum.
- Funded accounts grow on each 10% target (with 3 profitable days) up to $500,000; the split rises from 80% to 85%, 90% and then 100% plus a fixed monthly payout at the top levels.
- Up to 3 accounts each of 2.5K, 5K and 10K, one 25K and one 50K or 100K can be active at once.
