Figures reflect a common The5ers account at the time of writing — firms revise rules often, so verify against the The5ers site before relying on them.

How to pass without breaching

  • Keep per-trade risk small and consistent — the 5% day is the line most traders breach first.
  • Three trading days is the minimum; spread your entries rather than forcing the target in one session.
