The5%ers Futures Rules 2026: Payouts and Copier Policy

The5%ers built its name on forex and CFD prop challenges, so a lot of traders assume its futures side runs on the same rulebook. It doesn’t. The futures program has its own evaluation targets, its own end-of-day drawdown logic, and its own copy-trading policy that trips up traders who assume “copying my own account” works the same way it does elsewhere.

This post covers the current The5%ers futures rules only: drawdown, payout split and schedule, and the copier policy across your own accounts. We pulled every number directly from The5%ers’ own site and help articles, checked on September 4, 2026.

Key Takeaways
• The5%ers Futures runs on end-of-day drawdown (4% max loss), not an intraday trailing stop.
• Traders keep 80% of profits, but the first payout is capped at 50% of profits and every payout after that follows the standard split.
• Payouts are available every 14 days once an account is funded, with a $1,250 cap on 25K accounts and a 3%-of-balance cap on 50K–150K accounts.
• Copy trading is allowed only across your own accounts, and only up to a combined $75,000 in account size. Copying from or to another trader’s account is a terminable offense.

Does The5%ers Offer a Dedicated Futures Program?

Yes. The5%ers runs a separate Futures track alongside its original forex/CFD challenges (Hyper Growth, Pro Growth, High Stakes, Bootcamp). The futures product sits on its own site section at the5ers.com/futures and its own help center, and traders can buy in through two pricing structures: Basecamp (lower upfront fee plus a one-time activation fee once you’re funded) or Rebate (commissions get refunded at end of day, no separate activation fee). Account sizes run $25K, $50K, $100K, and $150K, with a scaling path that continues to a $500,000 simulated account.

This matters for the copier question below: The5%ers’ futures copy-trading rule is written specifically for the futures product and is stricter on account size than what some traders remember from the CFD side.

What Are the Drawdown and Loss Limits on The5%ers Futures Accounts?

The futures evaluation target is 6% profit, dropping to 4% at the funded stage, with a 4% max loss limit that applies at both stages. Unlike a lot of futures prop firms that use an intraday trailing drawdown, The5%ers calculates this loss limit at the close of each trading session — so an open position that dips into a loss during the day doesn’t trigger a breach as long as the account recovers by session close. There’s also a per-position consistency rule set at 40%, meaning no single trade can account for more than 40% of your total profit when you’re evaluated for payout or scaling.

The5%ers’ own futures page states an evaluation profit target of 6%, a funded-stage target of 4%, a 4% max loss limit, and a 40% per-position consistency rule. Drawdown resets at end-of-day close rather than tracking in real time. Source: the5ers.com/futures, checked September 4, 2026.

That EOD structure is the whole reason automation matters here. A copier or bracket-order tool that closes or trims risk before session close can keep an account inside the 4% limit without a trader babysitting every candle.

How Much Do The5%ers Futures Traders Keep, and When Do Payouts Land?

The profit split is 80/20 in the trader’s favor, but the first payout on a funded account is capped at 50% of profits. Every payout after that follows the standard 80% split. Withdrawals become available on a biweekly basis: 14 days after an account is funded, then every 14 days from your last approved request. Payout caps scale with account size: 25K accounts are capped at $1,250 per payout, while 50K–150K accounts are capped at 3% of current balance (so a $100,000 account tops out around $3,000 per request). The5%ers pays out via Rise, crypto, or bank transfer, each carrying a 3.5% processing fee, or as fee-free Hub Credit toward new programs. Get your third payout on a funded account and The5%ers refunds your original evaluation fee.

Can You Run a Trade Copier Across Your The5%ers Futures Accounts?

Yes, with a hard size cap. The5%ers’ futures FAQ states plainly: “You can only copytrade your own accounts and your own trades. You can’t copy trades from another trader, or let anyone else copy trades from you.” The account-size limit is specific: copy trading is permitted only on 25K and 50K accounts with a combined total size of up to $75,000. Go past that combined threshold and the copier setup itself becomes a rule violation, separate from any drawdown breach.

The5%ers’ futures FAQ confirms traders can copy trades “across all of your accounts without a violation,” but restricts this to a trader’s own accounts, with the copy-eligible combination capped at $75,000 in total size. Copying trades from or to another trader’s account is grounds for termination. Source: the5ers.com/futures-faqs, checked September 4, 2026.

If you run multiple Bootcamp-style evaluation accounts at once, note that The5%ers requires those to be traded with different strategies rather than mirrored. The “copy your own trades” allowance is meant for scaling one proven approach across funded accounts, not for running identical entries on every evaluation you’ve purchased simultaneously.

Should You Automate Your The5%ers Futures Trades With a Copier?

[UNIQUE INSIGHT] The rule combination here — EOD drawdown plus a $75,000 copy-eligible ceiling — actually favors a specific setup: one TradingView strategy pushed to two or three funded accounts under the cap, rather than one account run manually with a wider size. A copier that fires the same signal to every linked account removes the lag between your strategy triggering and each account executing, which matters more under an EOD loss limit than an intraday one, because a missed or late fill on one account can leave it exposed into the session close while the others are already flat.

PickMyTrade connects TradingView alerts straight to broker execution across multiple funded accounts, which is exactly the “own accounts only” copying The5%ers allows. It’s not a third-party signal service; it’s your own strategy replicated to your own accounts. Before setting anything up, confirm current size limits and platform support directly on PickMyTrade’s supported prop firms page, since account caps and eligible firms change without much notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is The5%ers Futures the same rulebook as their forex program?

No. The5%ers runs its original CFD/forex challenges (Hyper Growth, Pro Growth, High Stakes, Bootcamp) separately from its Futures track, which has its own targets, drawdown method, and help center at futures-help.the5ers.com and the5ers.com/futures.

What’s the max loss limit on a The5%ers futures account?

4% maximum loss, calculated at the end of each trading session (EOD), not as an intraday trailing drawdown.

How often can I withdraw from a The5%ers futures account?

Every 14 days. Your first payout window opens 14 days after the account is funded, and each following window opens 14 days after your last approved withdrawal.

Can I copy trades from someone else’s The5%ers account?

No. The5%ers only allows copying between your own accounts, and only up to a combined $75,000 in account size. Copying trades from or to another trader’s account can get the account terminated.

Does The5%ers refund the evaluation fee?

Yes, after your third payout on a funded futures account, The5%ers refunds the original evaluation fee in full.
