The 5%ers Review 2026: The Only Legit Instant Funding?
The 5%ers operates differently. They act more like a traditional London prop floor and less like an online "challenge mill".
Their philosophy: "If you have good risk management, we will stake you immediately."
The Program: Hyper-Growth
This is their flagship instant funding model. No Challenge. No Evaluation. You pay the fee, you get a live account.
The Levels (Scaling is Insane)
- Level 1 (Entry): $10k Account. Price ~$260. Limit: 1:30 Leverage.
- Target: Hit 10% Profit.
- Reward: Account Doubles to $20k. You get a payout.
- Repeat: $40k -> $80k -> $160k... up to $4,000,000.
Most firms scale by 25%. The 5%ers DOUBLE your capital.
The Rules (Strict but Fair)
Because they are giving you real money Day 1, they are stricter on risk.
- Stop Loss: Mandatory on every trade.
- Stop Out: 6% Fixed Drawdown.
- Time Limit: None.
Pros
- True Instant Funding (Start earning Day 1)
- Funding up to $4M (Industry Highest)
- Hold trades over weekend / News allowed
- Run by Gil Ben Hur (Public CEO, very transparent)
Cons
- Leverage is low (1:30) - Not for aggressive scalpers
- Mandatory Stop Loss can be annoying for some strategies
- Higher entry cost than 'Challenge' firms
My Experience with Level 1
I bought the $20k Instant account.
- Platform: MT5 (MetaTrader 5).
- Execution: 100% A-Book. You can feel the difference. No artificial slippage.
- Support: They have a dedicated "Portfolio Manager" you can speak to once you reach higher levels.
Verdict
If you are a serious swing trader or low-leverage day trader, The 5%ers is the holy grail. If you are a "full margin gambler" trying to flip $100 into $10k, stay away. You will hit the Stop Loss rule in 10 minutes.
Rating: 4.8/5 (Best for Professionals).
