What can kill your account

The5ers's biggest account-ending risks, with the evidence behind each.
  • Payout capWatch6/10

    A cap limits what you can withdraw per cycle. On some firms, profit above the cap is delayed; on a few, it is voided outright.

    “Each funded account has a maximum payout amount per withdrawal, depending on the account size. These caps apply to your first four payouts. 25K Account: Payout 1: $1,250 Payout 2: $1,250 Payout 3: $1,250 Payout 4: $1,250 50K Account: Payout 1: $1,500 Payout 2: $2,000 Payout 3: $2,500 Payout 4: $3,000 100K Account: Payout 1: $3000 Payout 2: remains 3% of the account balance 150K account: Payout 1: $4500 Payout 2: remains 3% of the account balance” source

  • Pricing honestyWatch7/10

    Resetting timers, perpetual “discounts”, or undisclosed add-ons inflate the real cost of getting and staying funded.

    “the5ers sells fixed-price evaluation programs (one-time fee), occasionally discounted via time-bound promos; effective price shown clearly at checkout. No perpetual fictional-anchor discount.” source
