Complete breakdown of all evaluation phases and trading rules
Understanding The5ers's rules is the difference between passing and failing. Below is every rule across all 2 phases, with tips on how PropJournal helps you stay compliant.
| Phase | Daily Loss | Max Drawdown | DD Type | Profit Target | Min Days | Consistency |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hyper Growth | 3% | 6% | Balance-based | 6% / 4% | 3 | None |
| High Stakes | 5% | 10% | Balance-based | 10% / 5% | 3 | None |
The5ers sets a 3% daily loss limit calculated using balance-based methodology. Exceeding this on any single day results in immediate account termination. PropJournal sends alerts at 70% and 90% of your daily limit.
The overall max drawdown is 6% (Balance-based). This is calculated from your initial balance and does not trail your equity high.
Hyper Growth: 6% / 4%. High Stakes: 10% / 5%. PropJournal shows your progress toward the target with a visual tracker and estimated completion date based on your current pace.
Consistency requirement: None. While this firm doesn't enforce a strict consistency rule, maintaining consistent risk is still best practice.
