Silver, Bronze and Copper use a 5% daily drawdown. Diamond Instant has no daily drawdown (only a total drawdown limit).Daily drawdown includes both open and closed PnL; breaching it can switch the account into read-only mode and close trades. Maximum Daily LossDaily loss limits at The 5%ers focus on controlling intraday risk, especially within the High Stakes and Bootcamp structures.High Stakes: Daily drawdown limit of 5%, typically calculated from the previous day's closing balance, including both closed and floating PnL.Bootcamp: While the program emphasises a 5% max loss per stage rather than a separate daily cap, traders must still stay comfortably within this limit to avoid breaching.Hyper Growth: Uses a 6% overall loss cap with no separate published daily...

Drawdown Type Equity-based (Trailing on 1-Step; Static on 2-Step/3-Step) Drawdown ModelRebelsFunding uses static drawdown limits: (1) a daily drawdown that resets from a daily starting-equity snapshot (where applicable), and (2) an overall drawdown measured from the initial account equity (not a trailing high-watermark model). Diamond Instant removes the daily limit and enforces only the static overall cap. Drawdown ModelThe 5%ers uses fixed percentage loss limits rather than trailing equity models. Each program specifies a static maximum loss relative to the starting balance of the phase or funded stage (e.g., 5% or 10% for Bootcamp and High Stakes, 6% for Hyper Growth).Static Limits: Maximum loss is typically defined as a fixed percentage of the starting balance, and includes both closed and floating losses.Program-Specific Caps: Bootcamp and Hyper Growth are structured around relatively conservative overall loss thresholds (4–6%), while...

Trading Permissions
News Trading News trading restricted on Live Sim (±3 minutes). News trading is not stated as fully banned, but RebelsFunding recommends avoiding major releases (NFP, GDP, FOMC) and its terms prohibit opening excessive trades when significant news/macro events are planned. News trading is allowed on most The 5%ers programs with important restrictions.Bootcamp and Hyper Growth: News trading is permitted, but placing bracket orders (pending orders around major news purely to capture spikes) is prohibited.High Stakes: Executing orders from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news is not allowed.These rules are intended to prevent abusive event-driven strategies while still allowing normal trading around news where permitted.
Weekend Trades Weekend trading allowed. RebelsFunding states that cryptocurrency trading is closed during weekends on RF-Trader for maintenance and platform stability reasons. Other markets follow their normal market hours (typically weekday sessions). The 5%ers allows overnight and weekend holding on most instruments across Bootcamp, High Stakes, and Hyper Growth programs, subject to normal market hours and swap rates. Indices may carry higher swaps when held over weekends, and traders should monitor rollover costs carefully.
Copy Trading Copy trading allowed for own strategies only. Copy trading is not presented as a supported feature. Strategies that hedge across linked accounts or other companies are prohibited, and trade splitting across correlated markets is treated as one “real trade” and may be flagged as suspicious behavior. The 5%ers permits copy trading with clear limitations.Copy trading is allowed for High Stakes and Hyper Growth accounts under defined conditions.Once total managed capital exceeds about $500K, taking identical trades across multiple accounts is no longer allowed.Copying from an external account is only allowed if that account belongs to the same trader; third-party copy trading is not permitted.Copy trading is not allowed between two Bootcamp accounts.The firm also integrates with Prop Firm One, enabling traders to mirror their own strategies...
