## Who Is The5ers Futures?

**The5ers Futures** is the US-futures sub-brand of The5ers (Five Percent Online Ltd.), launched in 2025 to extend the parent firm's proven evaluation model to CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX-listed futures contracts. The sub-brand runs on its own proprietary **Black Arrow** trading platform, separate dashboards, and a dedicated help center at futures-help.the5ers.com — while inheriting the parent's 10-year track record, 4.8/5 Trustpilot reputation, and leadership team.

Where the parent The5ers focuses on forex/CFD evaluations via MT5 Hedge + cTrader, The5ers Futures is **purpose-built for US futures traders** with full CME/CBOT/NYMEX/COMEX instrument coverage including equity index e-minis + micros (ES, MES, NQ, MNQ), currencies, precious and base metals, energy, and agricultural contracts. Low starting cost ($50 for $25K Rebate) and an 80/20 profit split put it in direct competition with Topstep, Apex, and FXIFY Futures while offering a simpler two-program structure.

The two programs — **Rebate** (fee-only, commission rebates) and **Basecamp** (low upfront + activation on pass) — share identical trading objectives (6% profit target, 30% consistency rule, 3% drawdown), differing only in the fee/commission structure. Funded accounts unlock a gradual scaling plan that adds real buying power + micro contracts at each 10% profit milestone.

## Programs Offered: Rebate vs Basecamp

The5ers Futures offers two evaluation paths with the same trading objectives but different fee / commission structures. Both unlock the same funded account model.

| Feature | Rebate | Basecamp |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Fee structure** | One-time fee | Low upfront + activation fee on pass |
| **Activation fee** | ✗ None | ✓ Required (only paid if you pass) |
| **Monthly fee** | ✗ None | ✗ None |
| **Commissions** | Commission rebates (reduced per-contract commissions) | Full commissions charged on every trade |
| **Profit target (eval)** | 6% | 6% |
| **Max drawdown** | 3% | 3% |
| **Consistency rule** | 30% (Best Day ≤ 30% of Positive Days) | 30% (same) |
| **Profit split (funded)** | 80% / 20% | 80% / 20% |
| **Starting capital** | $25K / $50K | $25K / $50K |
| **Max allocation per trader** | $100K | $100K |
| **Starting fee** | From $50 ($25K) | Lower upfront than Rebate + activation on pass |
| **Best suited for** | Frequent traders who want lower per-contract costs | Low-activity traders who want the lowest upfront cost |

*Both programs run on the **Black Arrow** platform. Evaluation objectives are identical: reach 6% profit, respect the 3% max drawdown, and keep any single-day profit under 30% of your total positive days' profit. Funded accounts share the same 80/20 split and 10% milestone scaling plan.*

## Pricing Matrix (Verified April 2026)

The5ers Futures pricing is in USD. Apply code **RAMESCO** at checkout (or sign up via the [Propfirmito referral link](https://www.the5ers.com/?afmc=12ob)) to get **5% OFF** both programs. Pricing below is the published list from the5ers.com and futures-help.the5ers.com as of April 2026.

### Rebate Program (One-time fee + commission rebates)

| Account Size | List Price | With RAMESCO (5% OFF) | Activation Fee | Profit Target | Max Drawdown | Consistency Rule |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **$25K** | $50 | **$47.50** | ✓ None | 6% ($1,500) | 3% ($750) | 30% |
| **$50K** | $300 | **$285** | ✓ None | 6% ($3,000) | 3% ($1,500) | 30% |

### Basecamp Program (Low upfront + activation on pass)

| Account Size | Upfront Fee | With RAMESCO | Activation Fee (on pass) | Profit Target | Max Drawdown | Consistency Rule |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **$25K** | Lower than Rebate | 5% OFF upfront | Paid only if you pass evaluation | 6% ($1,500) | 3% ($750) | 30% |
| **$50K** | Lower than Rebate | 5% OFF upfront | Paid only if you pass evaluation | 6% ($3,000) | 3% ($1,500) | 30% |

*Basecamp splits the cost into a low upfront fee (paid at signup) + an activation fee (paid only when you pass evaluation and activate the funded account). This lowers risk for traders uncertain about passing. Exact current upfront/activation amounts vary by promo cycle — check the5ers.com for live pricing. The 5% OFF RAMESCO code applies to both the upfront fee and the activation fee on Basecamp.*

| **Profit split (funded)** | N/A | 80% trader / 20% firm |

## Trading Platform — Black Arrow

The5ers Futures runs on its own proprietary **Black Arrow** platform, purpose-built for US futures trading. This differs from the parent brand, which uses MT5 Hedge + cTrader. Black Arrow ticker conventions use "FUT" suffix for continuous contracts (e.g. ESFUT, NQFUT, GCFUT) and expiration codes for specific contract months (e.g. ESH6, GCZ5).

| Feature | Black Arrow |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Proprietary futures trading platform |
| **Access** | Desktop and web versions |
| **Market data feeds** | CME (equity indices + currencies), CBOT (agricultural), NYMEX (energy), COMEX (metals) |
| **Ticker convention** | Continuous contracts use FUT suffix (ESFUT, NQFUT); expiration-specific use month codes (H6=March 2026, Z5=December 2025, etc.) |
| **Order types** | Market, limit, stop, stop-limit, bracket |
| **Algorithmic trading** | Not allowed — manual discretionary trading only |

## Approved Instruments

The5ers Futures offers a wide range of US futures contracts across all major asset classes. Pick from e-mini and micro contracts for lower margin requirements, or full-size contracts for higher notional value.

## Payouts & Scaling Plan

The5ers Futures applies a **scaling plan exclusive to funded accounts**. Each 10% profit milestone automatically triggers:

1. Account is disabled temporarily and sent to the Risk Department for review
2. After approval, a new scaled account is issued with: - ✓ Your earned profits carry over (paid out via 80/20 split) - ✓ +5% buying power increase on the account balance - ✓ +1 mini contract added to trading limit - ✓ +10 micro contracts added to trading limit

#### Scaling example ($50,000 starting funded account):

| Step | Action | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Initial | Starting balance | $50,000 |
| 1st scale trigger | Reach 10% profit ($5,000) | Balance = $55,000 |
| Payout | 80% of $5,000 profit | You receive $4,000 |
| New scaled account | $50,000 + 5% buying power ($52,500) + profits ($4,000) | **New balance = $56,500** |

**Payout methods:** Bank wire, Rise, cryptocurrency (BTC/USDT/USDC), PayPal (regional). Processing time typically 2–5 business days. The parent The5ers brand has paid out millions in rewards across 10 years — Futures uses the same payout infrastructure.

## Restricted Countries

The5ers Futures uses the same restricted jurisdictions list as the parent The5ers brand (29 countries). **The United States is NOT restricted** — a major advantage for US-based futures traders (US-only competitors like Topstep compete directly with this offering).

- **OFAC / sanctioned territories:** Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Russia, Belarus, Sudan, South Sudan, Venezuela, Yemen, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia
- **African jurisdictions:** Afghanistan, Burundi, Central African Republic, Congo (Rep. + DRC), Eritrea, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia
- **Asia / Pacific:** Laos, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu
- **Middle East:** Lebanon, Palestinian Territory, Israel (home-country restriction)

*Current list verified on [help.the5ers.com/who-can-join-the5ers](https://help.the5ers.com/who-can-join-the5ers). KYC residence checks enforced.*

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is The5ers Futures?

The5ers Futures is the US-futures sub-brand of [The5ers](https://propfirmito.com/the5ers/) (Five Percent Online Ltd.), launched in 2025. It offers evaluation challenges on CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX-listed futures contracts via the proprietary Black Arrow platform, with 80/20 profit split and a scaling plan that grows your account + contract limits at every 10% profit milestone.

### Is The5ers Futures the same as The5ers?

Same parent company (Five Percent Online Ltd., Tel Aviv) and same CEO (Gil Ben Hur), but The5ers Futures operates as a **separate sub-brand** with its own Black Arrow platform, separate account dashboards, separate help center (futures-help.the5ers.com), and futures-specific trading objectives (6% target, 30% consistency, 3% drawdown). The parent The5ers focuses on forex/CFD via MT5 Hedge + cTrader.

### How many programs does The5ers Futures offer?

Two: **Rebate** (one-time fee, no activation, no monthly fee, commission rebates) and **Basecamp** (low upfront fee + activation fee paid only if you pass evaluation, full commissions). Both share the same trading objectives (6% profit target, 30% consistency, 3% max drawdown).

### What is the difference between Rebate and Basecamp?

**Rebate** charges a higher one-time fee but gives you commission rebates on every trade — best if you trade frequently and want to minimise per-contract costs. **Basecamp** splits the cost: a lower upfront fee (paid at signup) + an activation fee paid only if you pass — best if you're uncertain about passing and want the lowest at-risk cost. Both share identical trading rules and profit splits.

### What are The5ers Futures account sizes?

Starting accounts are **$25,000** and **$50,000**. Maximum combined allocation per trader is $100K (you can hold multiple accounts up to that limit). The scaling plan grows each funded account beyond its starting balance over time.

### What is the profit target?

**6%** of the initial simulated capital, applied equally to both Rebate and Basecamp programs. On a $25K account that's $1,500 in profit; on a $50K account it's $3,000. Applies to the evaluation phase only — funded accounts use 10% milestones for scaling.

### What is the consistency rule?

**30%**. Your most profitable day ("Best Day") cannot represent more than 30% of your total Positive Days' Profit at the time the rule is checked. If exceeded, you need to continue trading until your Best Day falls below 30% of your accumulated positive profit. Applies to both evaluation and funded accounts.

### What is the maximum drawdown?

**3%** of the initial simulated capital. On a $25K account that's a $750 max loss; on a $50K it's $1,500. This is a strict drawdown — if your equity drops below this level at any point, the account is failed. Applies to both evaluation and funded.

### What is the profit split?

**80% trader / 20% firm** on all funded accounts. No scaling up to higher splits like the parent The5ers brand — the profit share stays flat at 80/20 while the account balance and contract limits grow via the milestone scaling plan instead.

### How does the scaling plan work?

On funded accounts only. Every time you reach a **10% profit milestone**, the account is temporarily disabled for Risk Department review. After approval, a new scaled account is issued with: your earned profits carried over (paid out via 80/20 split), +5% buying power on the balance, +1 mini contract added to trading limit, and +10 micro contracts added to trading limit. Example: $50K account –> 10% profit hit –> new account = $50K + 5% ($52.5K) + earned $4K profit = $56.5K balance.

### Can I trade the news on The5ers Futures?

News trading rules are restrictive — The5ers Futures limits trading around high-impact news releases. Check [futures-help.the5ers.com/can-i-trade-during-the-news](https://futures-help.the5ers.com/can-i-trade-during-the-news) for the current rules. Standard CME market hours apply — no trading outside futures market sessions.

### Can I hold positions over the weekend?

**No**. Futures contracts close Friday evening and reopen Sunday evening for the next week. The5ers Futures requires all positions to be closed before the weekend. Additionally, overnight holding rules follow CME daily maintenance breaks — check [the overnight holding rule](https://futures-help.the5ers.com/overnight-holding) for specifics.

### Are EAs, algo, or HFT allowed?

**No**. The5ers Futures **does not allow** high-frequency trading, algorithmic trading, or hedging strategies. Manual discretionary trading only. This differs from the parent The5ers forex brand which allows EAs. See [the full rule](https://futures-help.the5ers.com/is-high-frequency-algorithmic-trading-and-hedging-allowed) for details.

### Does The5ers Futures accept US traders?

**Yes**. The United States is **NOT** on The5ers Futures restricted countries list. This is a major advantage vs most non-US prop firms and puts The5ers Futures in direct competition with US-focused firms like Topstep and Apex. Restricted jurisdictions (29 countries) include OFAC-sanctioned territories, some African nations, Israel (home country) and Papua New Guinea.

### What platform does The5ers Futures use?

**Black Arrow** — a proprietary futures trading platform built specifically for The5ers Futures. Desktop + web access. Ticker convention: continuous contracts use FUT suffix (ESFUT, NQFUT, GCFUT), while expiration-specific contracts use month codes (H6 = March 2026, Z5 = December 2025).

### Can I copy trade between my accounts?

**Yes** — copy trading is allowed between your own The5ers Futures accounts (within the $100K max allocation). See [futures-help.the5ers.com/can-i-copytrade-between-my-futures-accounts](https://futures-help.the5ers.com/can-i-copytrade-between-my-futures-accounts). Copying from external accounts or between unrelated traders is not permitted.

### How do I withdraw profits?

Once scaled (i.e. hitting a 10% milestone on a funded account), your earned profits are paid out to you via the 80/20 split through standard payout methods: bank wire, Rise, cryptocurrency (BTC/USDT/USDC), or regional PayPal. Processing time typically 2–5 business days. The5ers Futures uses the parent brand's payout infrastructure.

### What is The5ers Futures discount?

Use code `RAMESCO` at checkout for **5% OFF** both Rebate and Basecamp programs, or sign up via the [Propfirmito referral link](https://www.the5ers.com/?afmc=12ob) for the same discount. The RAMESCO code is shared with the parent The5ers brand — use whichever method works at checkout.

## Final Verdict — Who Should Use The5ers Futures?

**Our weighted score: 4.6 / 5.** The5ers Futures is a credible US-futures sub-brand backed by 10 years of operational track record at the parent The5ers. The two-program structure (Rebate / Basecamp) is simple and cost-effective, trading rules (6% target / 3% drawdown / 30% consistency) are tight but reasonable, and the scaling plan grows buying power AND contract limits in parallel. Key differentiators: **US traders accepted**, $50 entry at $25K, proprietary Black Arrow platform.

- **Payout reliability (30%):** 4.5/5 — benefits from the parent The5ers 10-year track record (Trustpilot 4.8/5 on 23,261+ reviews). 2–5 business-day processing, multiple payout methods, 80/20 split. Sub-brand launched 2025 so sub-brand-specific review base is still growing.
- **Cost-effectiveness (25%):** 4.7/5 — $50 Rebate entry at $25K is among the cheapest in US futures prop (vs Topstep's $149 / Apex's $167). Basecamp splits cost risk — low upfront + activation only on pass. 5% OFF via RAMESCO stacks further.
- **Rules fairness (25%):** 4.3/5 — 6% target is aggressive (vs FTMO's 10%/5% 2-step, Lucid's 8%). 3% drawdown is strict — lower than most competitors. 30% consistency rule is standard. Minor weakness: no algo / HFT / hedging (parent The5ers allows EAs); no overnight hold.
- **Support & platform (20%):** 4.5/5 — dedicated help center (futures-help.the5ers.com), LiveChat on every page, proprietary Black Arrow platform well-optimised for futures. Missing vs top competitors: NinjaTrader / Tradovate / TradingView platform options.

### Best For

- ✓ **US traders** looking for a non-US-registered futures prop firm that explicitly accepts US residents.
- ✓ Budget-conscious traders — $50 entry on $25K Rebate beats most US competitors by $100+.
- ✓ Frequent / high-volume traders — Rebate commission rebates compound on active trading.
- ✓ Manual discretionary traders comfortable with Black Arrow proprietary platform.
- ✓ Existing The5ers forex traders who want to add futures exposure from the same trusted parent brand.
- ✓ Traders wanting real account scaling with growing contract limits at each milestone.

### Not Ideal For

- ✗ Algo / HFT traders — The5ers Futures **does not allow algorithmic, HFT, or hedging strategies**. Manual only.
- ✗ Swing / weekend traders — futures must be closed before the weekend and daily maintenance break.
- ✗ Traders who need NinjaTrader / Tradovate / TradingView — only Black Arrow is supported.
- ✗ Traders looking for forex/CFD instead — use the parent [The5ers](https://propfirmito.com/the5ers/) brand for MT5/cTrader forex challenges.
- ✗ Traders in Israel or other restricted jurisdictions (29 countries).
