The same rules counted in trades instead of percent, for a strategy that risks a fixed share of the initial balance and takes profit at twice its risk. Losers are full 1R losses with no partial closes.
The5ers High Stakes
| Rule | At 1% risk, 2R winners | At 0.5% risk, 2R winners |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 target 10% | 5 net winners | 10 net winners |
| Step 2 target 5% | 3 net winners | 5 net winners |
| Daily loss 5% | 5 losers in one day | 10 losers in one day |
| Max loss 10% | 10 losers in a row | 20 losers in a row |
The5ers Hyper Growth
| Rule | At 1% risk, 2R winners | At 0.5% risk, 2R winners |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 target 10% | 5 net winners | 10 net winners |
| Daily loss 3% | 3 losers in one day | 6 losers in one day |
| Max loss 6% | 6 losers in a row | 12 losers in a row |
Read the daily row first. It is the rule that ends most challenges, because it counts a bad day, not a bad month - and losers cluster. Our risk-of-ruin table shows how often a given win rate produces a streak that long.
Tracked automatically - and what is not.
- Profit target per phase, measured on closed balance, so an open winner cannot pass a phase.
- Daily loss on live equity, floating P&L included, against the balance the day started with.
- Max loss on live equity against the phase's starting balance.
- Minimum trading days per phase - a day counts when a trade is placed on it.
- Leverage - margin is checked on every order.
Not modelled, specific to The5ers:
- High Stakes asks for 3 profitable days, not 3 trading days. The simulator counts any day with a trade, so it can let a step pass on fewer green days than The5ers would. Check the daily P&L in your report.
- The Hyper Growth preset loads 1:30 leverage and a $50,000 account (The5ers sells $5K, $10K, $20K and $50K). At 1:30 the margin, not the stop, is often what limits position size on indices and gold.
- Daily loss resets at 00:00 UTC in the simulator.

Two limits, two different reset rules. Why the daily one fails more accounts than the overall one.

Backtest The5ers FAQ
Is this the real The5ers challenge?
No. It is a simulation on historical data that loads The5ers's published rules, so you can rehearse a challenge before paying for one. Nothing here is connected to The5ers, and passing here does not give you a The5ers account.
Is the simulated The5ers challenge free?
Yes. The free plan includes one prop-firm challenge straight away and a second after day 3. Pro adds 10 now and 10 more after day 3; Ultra is unlimited. No card is needed to start.
Which markets can I run the The5ers challenge on?
Any of the 105 instruments on FxBacktest - forex pairs, gold and silver, indices such as the Nasdaq and DAX, oil, crypto and US stocks - on every timeframe from one minute to monthly.
Can I change the The5ers rules?
Yes. The preset only fills in the setup screen. Account size, number of phases, each phase target, daily and max loss, minimum days and leverage can all be edited before the challenge starts.
Is The5ers Bootcamp in the simulator?
Bootcamp is a 3-step program. Pick the High Stakes preset, set the number of phases to 3 in the setup screen and type in Bootcamp's targets and limits from your account page.
