The 5%ers
Disclosure score 68/100 — Partially documented. This measures how much The 5%ers publishes about its own rules on the pages we have verified. It is not a judgement of whether the firm is good, and a low score can simply mean we have not read enough of its site yet.
The 5%ers is partially documented at 68/100: 4 of 9 criteria published in full, 4 in part, and 1 not found on the pages we read. If you are choosing on consistency formula or soft-breach rules, read the firm's own pages before you pay.

Why you can trust this page
Every figure comes from The 5%ers's own terms, rules or help pages (Tier B) or a legal document or register (Tier A); nothing from aggregators or review sites is used to state a fact. The score is nine published criteria with nine published weights — recompute it from the table below. Outbound links may earn a referral fee; they cannot move a score, a rank, or a word on this page.
How the 68/100 breaks down
Every weight is published. Add the right-hand column and you get the score — no hidden weighting, no editorial adjustment. If you disagree with a line, you can say exactly which one.
| Criterion | Weight | Awarded | What it means here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily loss limit fully specified | 15 | 13 | Percentage, basis, whether it is measured on balance or equity, and the reset time. All four, or partial credit. |
| Maximum loss limit fully specified | 15 | 15 | Percentage, static or trailing, and the reference point it trails from. |
| Consistency rule formula published | 12 | 0 | The formula, not just the percentage. An explicit “no consistency rule” scores full marks. |
| Payout terms fully specified | 15 | 9 | Split, frequency, profitable-day requirements and minimum amounts, for every cycle offered. |
| Soft-breach rules disclosed | 10 | 3 | Profit deductions, warning systems and split reductions that cost money without closing the account. |
| Legal entity identified | 10 | 10 | Entity name, jurisdiction and company registration number. |
| Regulator or licence disclosed | 8 | 8 | A named regulator and licence number, or a clear statement that there is none. |
| Restricted countries named | 8 | 8 | The actual list, not a generic clause about unlawful jurisdictions. |
| Rule changes dated and traceable | 7 | 2 | Changes carry effective dates and state whether existing accounts are affected. |
| Total | 100 | 68 |

Who you are actually contracting with
Most firms split the simulated-trading operator from the execution entity. Which entity you face can depend on the platform you pick, and that changes your counterparty risk. Nobody else puts this in a comparison.

Not verified
Consistency rule— Not mentioned on the High Stakes page, and no clause found in the T&C search. Absence is not confirmation that none applies.Payout cycle and minimums— Splits per level are published and the T&C add the instalment rule (weekly, max $10,000 above an undisclosed threshold). How often a payout can be requested, and any minimum amount, were not found.Payout threshold amount— The T&C name a 'Payout Threshold' above which payouts are paid weekly in $10,000 instalments, but the threshold itself is set 'from time to time at its sole discretion' and not published.Soft breaches— The news window (±2 minutes) is stated as not allowed; the consequence — warning, profit deduction or breach — is not stated.Terms change clause— The T&C say modifications take effect immediately upon posting, with the burden on the trader to re-read. No change log or effective-date history was found.Source freshness— The drawdown article was last updated 25 March 2025 — over seventeen months ago. Prop firm rules rarely stay still that long, so treat even the drawdown figures as needing re-confirmation.

Questions about The 5%ers, answered from the record
How is the The 5%ers daily loss limit calculated?
On High Stakes, the daily loss limit is 5% of the higher of the previous day’s closing balance or closing equity, measured on balance or equity, resetting at 00:00 server time. That basis is the part most comparison tables leave out, and it changes the dollar floor from day two onward.
Is the The 5%ers maximum drawdown static or trailing?
Static floor: 10% from initial balance on High Stakes. The floor is set once and does not move as the account grows.
Has The 5%ers changed rules retroactively?
Not on our record. 0 rule changes logged for The 5%ers, none applied to accounts that already existed.
What is the The 5%ers disclosure score?
68/100, computed from nine published criteria with published weights. It measures how much The 5%ers publishes about its own rules, not whether the firm is good.
