The5%ers Rules Explained (2026)
The5%ers' current "Summer Plan" lineup offers two $100,000 evaluation paths — a 1-Step and a 2-Step (8/5) — both with a static drawdown, but only the 1-Step carries a consistency rule during the evaluation itself.

How The5%ers' drawdown works
Both plans use a static drawdown in our data — a fixed percentage of your starting balance, set once and never adjusted. The 1-Step's floor is tighter (6%) than the 2-Step's (10%), which roughly offsets the 1-Step's single-phase structure against the 2-Step's two lower, split targets.
Notes & unconfirmed details
- "Summer Plan" is promotional naming — recheck at the5ers.com after the promo period ends, in case the lineup or numbers change.
- Max drawdown type (static vs. trailing) is assumed static pending confirmation — it isn't stated explicitly on The5%ers' own rules table.
- On the 2-Step (8/5), no consistency rule applies during evaluation, but the funded stage carries a 50% best-day consistency rule — not modeled here, since this page covers evaluation phases only.
- A 10%/5% target variant of the 2-Step also exists at checkout — this page models the 8%/5% variant.
- Payout cap of $2,000 applies on early cycles; split is 75/25; maximum 2 active accounts per trader.

Does The5%ers' consistency rule apply after I'm funded?
It depends on the plan. On the 1-Step, yes — the 50% best-day rule applies both during evaluation and on the funded stage. On the 2-Step (8/5), our data shows no consistency rule during evaluation, but the funded stage is documented to carry the same 50% best-day rule — it isn't part of the evaluation-phase table above, which covers evaluation phases only.
Is there another target variant of The5%ers' 2-Step?
Yes — a 10%/5% target variant exists at checkout alongside the 8%/5% variant modeled on this page.
What's the payout split on The5%ers?
75/25 in the trader's favor, with a $2,000 payout cap on early cycles, and a maximum of 2 active accounts per trader.
