The5ers

Checked October 2026

The5ers is a one-time fee, starting at $98 for a $10K account, and the funded account is a simulator. It publishes no pass rate. Backtoast is first if you want the payout to come from real trading.

You pay $99 for two full tests of your own strategy, and a pass is an offer of 30% of the profit Backtoast makes trading it with its own money.

2The5ers

High Stakes starts the split at 80%, with a payout cap of $3,000 on a $50K and $4,000 on a $100K. The account grows with each 10% target, and the split reaches 85% at a $175,000 balance, 90% at $250,000, and 100% plus a fixed monthly payout from $350,000. The first payout is 14 days after funding, then every two weeks. No pass rate is published, and The5ers' terms say a funded trader is backed with simulated capital and don't describe a move to a live account.

FundedNext also sells a one-time forex evaluation, and counts news-window profits at 40% once you're funded.

High Stakes rules

High Stakes is a 2-step, and the Classic version costs $78 for $10K and $455 for $100K and asks for 8% and then 5%, while the New version costs $69 and $405 and asks for 10% and then 5%. The $50K and $100K accounts allow a 4% daily loss and an 8% maximum loss, the smaller sizes 5% and 10%, and each step needs 3 profitable days of at least 0.5% with no time limit. The daily loss is measured from whichever is higher at the start of the day, balance or equity, so open profit you give back counts as a loss. Orders from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news are banned, you can hold overnight and over the weekend, and after step 2 you can withdraw the fee you paid, less any discount.

Pro Growth

Pro Growth is a 1-step with a 10% target, a 3% daily loss and a stop-out 6% below the starting balance, so a $10K account closes at $9,400. The split starts at 75%, payouts come every 14 days, and you can hold at most $40,000 in evaluation accounts at once. News trading is allowed except for bracket orders around a release.
