the5ers in 2026 - has the experience changed from what people reported in 2024

[Justin]

seeing a lot of reviews from 2023-2024 about the5ers but curious whether the current experience has changed. their fee structure and programs look different from what older threads describe. anyone currently trading with them or who has recently been through their evaluation?

currently on my second funded account with them (been through since mid-2025). the main change from older reviews: they've moved heavily toward the hyper growth account as their flagship product. the older bootcamp style is less prominent. payout process is smooth, consistently 3-5 business days via bank wire or wise for me.

the hyper growth path is interesting but worth understanding the scaling mechanic properly. you start with a smaller allocation and need to hit profit targets to unlock larger capital. it's designed to be gradual which some traders find reassuring and others find frustrating if they want more capital quickly.

are the trading rules still considered trader-friendly compared to competitors? the older threads mention they were more lenient on news trading than most.

news trading rules have tightened somewhat since 2024 in line with general industry trends. the5ers still doesn't have a blanket news ban but there are restrictions around holding positions through high-impact events depending on account type. check the specific account terms rather than relying on older community posts about this.

generally still one of the more respected names in the space. israel-based operation with a longer track record than most. had one support ticket take longer than i'd like but the eventual resolution was fair. wouldn't hesitate to recommend for a trader who understands the hyper growth scaling mechanic.

still reputable, still paying. check current account terms specifically around news rules, they've evolved from 2024 versions.
