Evaluation Rules

For the most accurate and up-to-date rules please refer to the company's official terms and conditions along with their FAQ.

Rule Value Details
EA Usage Allowed (with restrictions) Permitted EAs must avoid: copy trading, tick scalping (seconds-long trades), latency/reverse/hedge arbitrage, and emulators. Strict ban on trade-copying EAs from external sources. Visible stop-loss orders mandatory - hidden SL orders ("stealth mode") prohibited. Violations lead to immediate account termination without refund.
Overnight/Weekend Holding Allowed Positions can be held through rollovers/weekends with trader responsibility for swap fees, volatility, and liquidity risks. Special Crude Oil warning: -20 swap nightly, escalating to -200 on weekends. Traders must account for potential spread widening during illiquid periods.
Copy Trading Allowed (with conditions) Self-copying between personal The5ers accounts permitted. Multiple Bootcamp accounts require distinct trading strategies - identical strategy replication across Bootcamp accounts prohibited. Third-party copy trading services strictly banned.
Trading Strategies N/A No specific strategy restrictions published - traders should consult official documentation for updates. However, strategies exploiting system inefficiencies (listed below) remain prohibited regardless of manual/EA execution.
Inactivity Not Allowed (30-day rule) Accounts automatically expire after 30 consecutive calendar days without new orders. No grace period - traders must execute at least one trade monthly to maintain active status. Expired accounts cannot be reactivated.
News Trading Allowed (with restrictions) Bracketing strategies (simultaneous buy/sell stops around news) prohibited across all programs. High Stakes program: New order execution blocked 2 minutes pre/post high-impact news (profits deleted if attempted). Existing positions can be held through news events.
IP Address Allowed (with restrictions) Multiple devices/IPs permitted within same geographic location. Concurrent logins from different regions prohibited (triggers security alerts). VPN/VPS allowed if consistently used from single location. The5ers monitors for suspicious IP patterns indicating account sharing.
Prohibited Practices Not Allowed Strict ban on: arbitrage strategies, HFT (<1s trades), system error exploitation, rollover scalping, tick scalping, third-party EAs without source code ownership, account sharing/reselling, and "pass your challenge" services. Includes one-directional gambling-style trading without analysis. Penalties include permanent bans and forfeited profits.
Trading Period Varies by Program Level 1 (all programs except High Stakes): Immediate completion upon profit target achievement. High Stakes: Minimum 3 profitable trading days required during evaluation phase, regardless of profit size per day.
Minimum Trading Days Varies by Program Standard Programs: Zero minimum days - complete Level 1 in single session if desired. High Stakes Exclusive: Requires 3 separate profitable days (consecutive or non-consecutive) with verified trades.
Misc. Rules Various No hidden fees except Bootcamp's two-phase payment: $100K account costs $95 upfront + $205 upon passing ($300 total). $250K account: $225 upfront + $350 later ($575 total). Visible stop-loss mandatory - SL must be platform-verifiable within 60 seconds of trade execution.
