Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss 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... Maximum Daily LossFT+ uses a balance-based Daily Drawdown (Daily Simulated Loss) that resets each day at 16:59 (EST). A daily balance snapshot is taken, the daily loss amount is calculated as a percentage of that snapshot, and the account’s equity must not fall below the resulting Daily Drawdown figure.Daily Simulated Loss limits vary by program (typical published values): Master 6%, Experienced 4%, Advanced 5%, Premium 4%, Prestige Lite 3%, and Prestige Pro 5%. Maximum Daily LossDaily drawdown is program-based and calculated from the daily starting equity (platform server time, UTC+2). Gold uses a 4% daily drawdown. 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.
Max Total Loss Maximum Overall LossThe 5%ers defines maximum overall loss per program to cap total drawdown across each phase or funded account.Bootcamp: 5% max loss at each evaluation step and 4% max loss once funded, measured from the starting balance of the stage.High Stakes: 10% maximum overall loss for each evaluation phase and funded account, with 5% daily drawdown included.Hyper Growth: 6% maximum overall loss throughout the evaluation and funded stages, with positions allowed to be held overnight and over weekends.Breaching the... Maximum Overall LossMaximum Simulated Loss limits vary by program and drawdown model. Core trailing-loss challenges include: Master 6% max loss, Experienced 6%, Premium 8% and Advanced 10%.Prestige variants use a static-loss structure with tighter daily limits and typical maximum loss caps such as 6% (Prestige Lite) or 10% (Prestige Pro), depending on the specific Prestige version chosen. Maximum Overall LossOverall drawdown is static (relative to the initial account value) and includes both open and closed PnL. Gold and Diamond Instant use a 6% max overall drawdown. Silver, Bronze and Copper use a 10% max overall drawdown.
Drawdown Type 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... Drawdown ModelFunded Trading Plus uses two drawdown structures across its programs: Relative (trailing) drawdown on core challenges (Master/Experienced/Advanced/Premium) and Static drawdown on Prestige variants.Daily Drawdown is calculated from a daily balance snapshot and applies as a daily equity floor that resets once per day. 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.
Payouts
Payout Frequency Payout FrequencyThe 5%ers provides regular and scalable payout options across its programs.Payouts are generally available on a bi-weekly basis once funded.The minimum withdrawal amount is $150 after the profit split has been applied.Profit splits start around 50% on Bootcamp and 80% on High Stakes and can scale up to 100% as traders progress through the scaling plan.Profits can be left in the account to increase the effective drawdown buffer and support larger position sizes.At higher High Stakes and Bootcamp tiers,... 7 Payout FrequencyRewards are requested via the client zone. For standard RCF accounts, the first reward can be requested no earlier than 14 days after opening the first trade on the RCF account (and after closing trades and meeting the minimum-profit rule). For Diamond Instant, the RCF reward structure is tied to 10% minimum profit milestones (the account levels up after each 10% target).

Payout Processing Time Payout ProcessingThe 5%ers typically processes profit withdrawals on a bi-weekly cycle, with payments sent after approval via Rise, The5ers Visa Card, bank transfer, or cryptocurrencies. Processing times are designed to be prompt, with most payouts completed within a few business days depending on the chosen method and any required compliance checks. Payout ProcessingWithdrawal requests are reviewed under FT+’s Risk Review Policy (withdrawals are a listed milestone for review). Processing time can therefore vary depending on whether a request is automatically cleared or requires manual risk-team review. Payout ProcessingRebelsFunding does not publish a single guaranteed processing window on its public rules pages. Rewards are requested via the client zone after meeting eligibility requirements and are then paid through the chosen payout rail (primarily Riseworks).

Trading Permissions
News Trading 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. News trading is allowed in principle, and FT+ markets “trade news” as part of its ruleset. However, high-risk “coin-flip” behaviour (e.g., extremely high margin utilisation combined with short-duration trades during volatile news) may fail a withdrawal-time risk review. 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.
Weekend Trades 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. Funded Trading Plus states traders may hold trades over the weekend (“hold weekends”), supporting swing-style strategies. Traders should still monitor instrument trading hours/closures and manage gap risk. 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).
Copy Trading 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... FT+ requires accounts to be traded independently. Copy trading between active FT+ accounts is not permitted, and hedging across multiple accounts is strictly prohibited (hedging within a single account is allowed). 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.
EA Allowed Expert Advisors (EAs) are allowed at The 5%ers as long as they comply with the firm’s terms.EAs must place a stop-loss on every position.EAs must not copy trades from other people’s signals or third-party systems.Tick scalping, latency arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, hedge arbitrage, and emulator-based trading are not allowed.Any account found using EAs that violate these rules can be cancelled, banned, and not refunded across all programs, including Bootcamp and Hyper Growth. Expert Advisors (EAs), algos and bots are permitted. FT+ warns that abusive automation can lead to bans and may require traders to submit their EA for approval before receiving a simulated-live FT+ Trader account. EAs may not be used to copy trade or hedge across multiple FT+ accounts. Expert Advisors/robots are not allowed on the RF-Trader training platform; RebelsFunding states it is not possible to run any EA on its training trading platform (manual trading is preferred).
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required No Yes Yes
KYC Stage The 5%ers requires standard KYC verification and account checks, particularly before funding accounts and processing withdrawals. Traders should expect to provide identification and relevant documentation in line with regulatory and payment-provider requirements. KYC / identity checks are required at the FT+ Trader stage (simulated-live funded accounts), typically to confirm account ownership and support withdrawal processing under compliance requirements. KYC is mandatory before an RCF account is launched and rewards are paid. RebelsFunding uses electronic onboarding and verification (e.g., document upload/signing via Docusign/Eversign and identity verification via Veriff) and requires valid, non-expired government ID.
