The5ers Futures Review 2026: Day Trade vs Swing, Pro Payouts and Rule Details

This The5ers Futures review covers the futures arm of The5ers, which had two evaluation plans on sale, Day Trade and Swing, in 25K and 50K sizes on 5 November 2026. An evaluation is a paid test on a simulated account, and passing it leads to the Pro Stage, where payouts begin.

The futures plans run on the BlackArrow platform and are sold from the5ers.com, under the same company, code and partner link as The5ers' CFD accounts. Buyers pay a single fee per account, and neither plan adds an activation or monthly charge.

Figures below come from the futures page, all 48 futures FAQ articles, the Summer Plan page and the terms of 28 October 2026, all read on 5 November 2026. Earlier versions of the futures page come from Internet Archive copies dated 18 February to 3 November 2026.

The5ers Futures in figures, November 2026

The5ers Futures sells four accounts, two plans in two sizes, each with a single evaluation phase and no time limit.

• ›Platform. BlackArrow on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and the web, with market data included in the fee.
• ›Markets. Index futures with micro and nano contracts, plus currency, metal, energy and grain futures and 22 micro single-stock futures.
• ›Payments. Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and crypto through Confirmo, always from a method in the trader's own name.
• ›Account limit. Five accounts per size, Day Trade and Swing combined, so five 25K and five 50K accounts at once.

How Day Trade and Swing accounts work

Day Trade and Swing share their targets, loss limits and contract caps, and they differ in overnight holding, price and a Swing-only credit offer.

A profit target is the gain that passes the evaluation. The maximum loss is the floor at which the account ends. EOD, short for end of day, means the floor is set once a day from the highest midnight balance or equity, not during the session.

A contract cap is the largest position allowed, counted in minis or in smaller micros, at 10 micros per mini.

The evaluation has no minimum number of trading days, so a pass on the first day is allowed.

A passed account moves to the Pro Stage at the plan's starting balance, because evaluation profit does not carry over. The Pro Stage keeps the 4% limit, the contract caps and the 40% rule, and it adds payouts and scale-ups.

What the four The5ers Futures accounts cost

With code PROPFT at 10%, the four accounts cost $53.10 to $108 in PropFirmTrading's data on 5 November 2026.

PropFirmTrading tested the code at checkout on 5 November 2026, and the 10% rate applied. For any single plan and size, the total at checkout remains the figure to trust, and the The5ers Futures discount code page keeps each price current.

• ›Swing pricing. The plan table calls $69 and $120 a "Summer Plan Price", and no regular Swing price appears on any page read for this review.
• ›Summer Boost. A limited-time ladder, still shown on 5 November 2026, gives Swing accounts Hub Credits of $15 when funded, then $20, $25, $30 and $35 at payouts one to four.
• ›Hub Credits. A dashboard balance that pays for new programs and cannot be withdrawn as cash.
• ›Unused accounts. A full refund within 5 days of purchase for an account with no trades, then Hub Credits only. Cash refunds reach the original payment method in 5 to 7 business days.
• ›Commissions. $5.00 per standard contract and $2.50 per micro. The firm's article calls this both a round-turn charge, covering entry and exit, and a per-side charge.

Breach rules on Day Trade and Swing

A The5ers Futures account closes at the 4% floor or after a breach of the holding, conduct or activity rules, while the consistency rule only holds back money.

Trading hours and the cut-off time

The firm's market-hours article gives futures hours as 5:00 PM CT on Sunday to 4:00 PM CT on Friday, with a daily break from 4:00 to 5:00 PM CT. The futures page and the Summer Plan page give the cut-off before the weekend as 4:50 PM ET, which is 3:50 PM CT and 10 minutes before that close. The daily break starts at the same hour, so by PropFirmTrading's reading the weekday cut-off is also 4:50 PM ET.

Two FAQ articles give the cut-off as 4:50 PM CET, and the market-hours article gives 4:50 PM CT, a time inside its own daily break. Only the Eastern Time version matches the firm's "10 minutes before" wording, so this review uses it.

News trading is allowed on both plans, while the general rules article bars arbitrage and trades lasting a few seconds or less. Copying is allowed only between a trader's own 25K and 50K accounts, up to $75,000 in total. Each limit by plan and size is on the The5ers Futures rules page.

The 40% consistency rule, worked through

The5ers Futures sets its consistency rule at 40% in both stages, so no single result may exceed that share of total profit.

The plan table measures the rule "per position", meaning the single most profitable trade. When that trade exceeds 40% of total profit, the account stays open, and the pass, payout or scale-up waits until total profit reaches the best trade divided by 0.40.

On a 50K evaluation with the firm's $3,000 target, the rule works out as follows.

• ›Within the rule. Every trade earns less than $1,200, which is 40% of $3,000, so the account passes on reaching the target.
• ›Above the rule. A best trade of $1,600 is 53% of $3,000, so the pass waits until total profit reaches $4,000.
• ›In the Pro Stage. The same test runs before every payout and every scale-up.

The firm's articles disagree on what is measured. Two use the best trading day, and the calculation article of 6 October writes "Best Trade" in its formula but labels its example "Best Trading Day". An article of 20 July still uses 50%.

The net-profit article says the rule uses total gross P&L, short for profit and loss. Its own example works out $1,400 of net profit but then calculates on $1,000 out of $1,700. A best-day reading would also rule out a one-day pass, since that day would hold all of the profit, yet the plan table allows one.

Pro Stage payouts, caps and scaling

Only Pro Stage accounts can withdraw, once every 14 days, after profit reaches 4% of the starting balance and the account is 14 days old.

That 4% equals $1,000 on 25K and $2,000 on 50K. The trader keeps 80% of each payout, and the futures page says the split stays at 80/20 on all later payouts.

• ›Cap. 3% per payout on Pro accounts bought on or after 15 October 2026, while a 25K bought before then keeps 5%. The article, updated on 4 November, does not say what the 3% is measured on.
• ›Cap history. The 18 August version of the same article capped 50K accounts at 3% of the current balance and 25K accounts at $1,250. On that basis a 50K Pro account could take about $1,500 per payout, by PropFirmTrading's arithmetic.
• ›Fees. Payouts through Rise, a payments platform, or by crypto or bank transfer cost 3.5%, while Hub Credits carry no fee.
• ›Floor after a payout. The loss limit resets to 4% below the new balance, so a $53,500 balance after a payout puts the floor at $51,360.
• ›Large amounts. The terms let the firm split payouts above an unpublished threshold into weekly instalments of $10,000.
• ›Refund timing. At one payout every 14 days, the third payout and its fee refund arrive no sooner than about six weeks into the Pro Stage, by PropFirmTrading's arithmetic.

Scaling to $500K

Each 10% of Pro Stage profit triggers a scale-up. The trader closes all positions, the Risk Department reviews the account, and a new account follows with 5% more balance and one more mini or 10 more micros.

The Summer Plan page shows a 25K moving to $26,250 and 3 minis after $2,500 of profit, and a 50K moving to $52,500 and 5 minis after $5,000. Scale-ups run to $500K with no minimum number of profitable days, and each one restarts the 14-day payout cycle.

The futures page adds the trader's 80% share of profit on top of the $52,500. The scaling article of 2 November lists $50,000, $2,500 and a $4,000 share, then totals them as $52,500, although the three lines add up to $56,500.

Payout proof for futures accounts

The5ers publishes no payout count, total or payout time for futures accounts alone. The 17 payout cards on the futures page repeat the set on the CFD homepage, and no card is marked as a futures payout.

The same $98,038 figure sits on two of those cards under different names. One trader's card shows $4,500, while his interview tile shows $9,000.

The company-wide figures on the homepage, 4,376 payouts a month and an average payout time of 16 hours, do not separate futures from CFD accounts. This review treats them as a record of the company, not of its futures payouts.

Is The5ers Futures legit?

The5ers Futures is run by the company behind The5ers under published terms, and its futures program, first archived in February 2026, has no published payout record of its own.

• ›Operator. The futures footer names FIVE PERCENT ONLINE LTD, registered in Israel as company 515864007 at 2 Ha'tidhar street, Raanana, and adds the line "Part of 5% group".
• ›Second company. The terms also name a company of the same name in England and Wales, number 12553363, at 168 Praed Street, London.
• ›Disputes. The terms send disputes to the courts of Tel Aviv, and Israel appears on every restricted-country list.
• ›Status. The footer calls the evaluations simulated and says the company is not a broker. Under the terms, Pro accounts run on simulated capital, and the firm decides whether to execute a Pro trader's trades.
• ›Pro acceptance. Passing does not guarantee Pro status under the terms, and Pro traders sign further terms that are not public.

The terms of 28 October 2026 cover futures contracts, although their evaluation section links only the CFD programs. The firm states no launch date for the futures arm, and its oldest archived futures page dates from 18 February 2026.

The futures restricted list names 35 countries and regions, among them Russia, Iran, Crimea, Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia. No list names the United States, and the terms say only that platforms for US residents may differ.

The Trustpilot profile for the futures arm

Trustpilot, a public review site, holds a separate profile named The5ers Futures, scored 4.5 from 450 reviews in PropFirmTrading's hand check of 5 November 2026. The company claimed that profile in February 2026.

The futures page links this profile near the top and links the main the5ers.com profile lower down. A base of 450 reviews is small next to the futures firms compared further down this page.

Nine points the futures pages state two ways

On each of these points, this review relies on the futures page and its plan tables. A written reply from The5ers support is the firmest record of which version applies to an account.

The futures program from Basecamp to Day Trade

Internet Archive copies show at least three rounds of change to the futures program in 2026, covering plan names, prices, the loss limit, account sizes and payout caps.

The Rebate program refunded commissions at the end of each day. The futures page's search-engine description still promises "commission rebates", although no current plan offers them.

The5ers Futures next to The5ers CFD programs

The futures arm shares The5ers' company, dashboard, code, 14-day payout rhythm and 3.5% payout fee, while its trading rules follow a different model.

The "$50K for $99" banner on The5ers' site advertises a CFD account, not a futures plan. The CFD programs have their own entry on the The5ers firm page.

Cost and rules beside six futures firms

At 50K with each firm's code, the Day Trade plan sits mid-table among eight one-step EOD evaluations in PropFirmTrading's data.

Every plan in the table asks for $3,000 on 50K. The5ers Futures lists no daily loss limit in either stage, and neither does Tradeify Select on its Flex payout path. Lucid and Blue Guardian sell a version without one at a higher price.

The5ers Futures is the only plan here with a consistency rule in both stages, since each peer applies one either before or after the pass. It is also the only one with a fixed 14-day wait between payouts, where the peers pay daily, every 48 hours or after a set number of winning days.

E8 Futures Signature has the same 6% target, 4% EOD limit, 80% share and 10% code rate, at a higher price. On Trustpilot, the five peers with a score in PropFirmTrading's data range from 3.8 to 4.9 on 1,755 to 21,610 reviews.

Who the Day Trade and Swing plans suit

The plans fit futures traders who close out before the daily cut-off or hold one small position overnight, trade at least every two weeks and can wait 14 days between payouts.

Traders can set the 14-day payout wait and the Pro Stage consistency rule against their own trading pace before buying.

PROPFT, the partner link and PropFirmTrading's commission

PropFirmTrading can earn a commission when a trader buys a The5ers Futures account through its link or with code PROPFT. The code takes 10% off all four accounts in PropFirmTrading's data and leaves the rules and payout terms unchanged. The same code and link apply to The5ers' CFD programs.

This review rests on The5ers' public pages, its terms, Internet Archive copies and a test of the code PROPFT at checkout. It does not draw on a funded or traded The5ers Futures account.
