Overview
What is
The5%ers?
The5%ers is a forex-focused prop firm founded in 2016 in Israel. They are known for their instant funding option, which lets traders skip the evaluation entirely and start trading a live funded account from day one. They also offer one-step and two-step evaluation programs.
What sets The5%ers apart is their scaling plan -- traders can grow their account up to $4M in funded capital with consistent performance. Profit splits start at 50% for instant funding and scale to 100% at the highest levels. They support forex pairs, metals, and indices.
The5%ers has built a strong community and reputation for transparency. Their programs are designed for traders who want flexibility in how they get funded, whether that means proving themselves through an evaluation or jumping straight into live trading.
