The5ers — rules, explained
The numbers below are the same dataset PAPA's live compliance engine runs on —
3 programs (2 evaluation), each with its
verification date and sources.
⚠ Prop firms change rules often and promos are constant. Every figure below carries the date we
last verified it — treat your firm dashboard as the final word, and tell us if something moved.
Classic High Stakes (2-Step) Evaluation
| Profit target(s) | 8% → 5% |
|---|
| Daily loss limit | 5% |
|---|
| Max overall loss | 10% (static) |
|---|
| Min trading days | 3 (profitable days) |
|---|
| Consistency rule | none |
|---|
Key nuance: The5ers' minimum-days rule counts PROFITABLE days specifically (closed-trade profit of at least 0.5% of initial balance that day) — not just any day you placed a trade, unlike FTMO/FundedNext/CFT. A losing or breakeven day doesn't count toward the minimum here.

High Stakes — Funded Account Funded account

The funded (live) stage after passing the High Stakes evaluation. Same loss frame as the eval — 5% daily (anchored to the higher of previous day's closing equity/balance at 00:00 server time) and 10% static from initial balance — but NO profit targets and no minimum days. Payouts: bi-weekly, after at least 14 days on the account, minimum $150 profit; 80% profit split, scaling toward 100% as the account grows. No consistency rule.
