- Step 2: Trade a second demo. Hit 5% profit with same risk controls.
Mess up the rules? You’re out.
- Max daily loss: 5%
- Max overall loss: 10%
- Minimum profitable days: 3
- No time limit.

What Makes The High Stakes Program Unique? List Three Key Features
This program pays out up to 100% of profits, lets you trade over weekends, and allows for unlimited scaling up to $500K.
- Profit Split: 80%–100% (plus monthly fixed payouts)
- Payouts: Withdraw at any point; first payout 14 days after funding
- Scaling Plan: For every 10% profit, your account size and payout ratio increases
Who Should Actually Try The 5ers High Stakes Challenge?
High-stakes trading is for confident, experienced traders who handle real risk and want to scale.
- You’re tired of capped profits and small accounts
- You want unlimited time to pass evaluations
- You can stomach daily and overall loss limits
- You want 80%+ profit splits
What’s The Real Cost-To-Reward Ratio?
Even with higher entry fees, passing unlocks a massive funded account and up to 100% payouts, beating most competitors.
- $545 (100K) or $329 (60K) entry = potential to manage up to $500K
- Refund of entry fee after passing both steps
- No recurring monthly payments
- Example: Hit 10% on a $100K account = $10K profit → $8,000+ payout (at 80% split)
What Are The Most Brutal Rules and Requirements?
Break any risk rule—like a 5% daily loss—and your account is gone.
- No trading activity for 30 days? Account expires.
- Hold trades over weekends/news? Allowed, but high swaps/risks.
- Trade indices over weekends? Allowed, but with swaps.
Can You Scale and Withdraw Easily?
You can scale to $500,000 with every 10% profit milestone, and request payouts at any time—no profit lockups or payout delays.

- Payouts every 2 weeks (reset on scale-up)
- 100% profit split plus fixed payouts above $350K
What Happens If You Pass Both Steps?
You get the entry fee refunded to your trading account, a live funded account, and can start withdrawing profits after 14 days.
