The5%ers has established specific rules and guidelines, including certain prohibited practices. Below is an overview of the most pertinent information:

1. High Stakes Program Requirements

• Minimum Profitable Days: Traders participating in the High Stakes program must achieve a minimum of 3 profitable days to pass the evaluation. A profitable day is defined as one where the closed positions yield a positive profit of at least 0.5% of the initial balance.

2. Prohibited Trading Practices

To ensure market integrity and responsible trading, The5%ers prohibits the following practices:

• One-Sided Bets: Consistently taking positions in a single direction without considering market conditions or conducting proper analysis is not allowed.
• Arbitrage: Exploiting price discrepancies or glitches within different markets of similar or identical assets is forbidden.
• Trading Bracketing: Placing pending orders around high-impact news events, such as opening buy and sell stops close to the price before the news, is prohibited.
• System Exploitation: Intentionally or unintentionally employing trading strategies that take advantage of system errors, such as inaccuracies in price display or delays in updating, is not permitted.

3. Risk Management Guidelines

The5%ers emphasizes the importance of effective risk management:

• Risk Assessment: Traders are encouraged to conduct a self-assessment to understand their risk appetite, tolerance, and personality traits that may affect trading decisions. This includes aligning trading strategies with individual risk profiles and timeframes.
• Advanced Risk Techniques: The5%ers provides resources on advanced risk and money management techniques to help traders minimize risk and maximize profits. These include building a solid trading plan and developing the right mindset and psychology when trading.

4. Can I Trade During News?

• Instant Funding (Hyper-Growth) & Bootcamp:
  News trading is allowed, but bracket strategies (placing both BUY STOP & SELL STOP orders simultaneously around news) are prohibited.
• High Stakes Program:
  Holding trades through news is allowed, but executing orders 2 minutes before and after high-impact news is prohibited.
  • Example: For US CPI at 15:30 GMT+2, no new orders between 15:28 - 15:32.
  • Profits made during this time won't count toward targets, and losses are absorbed by you.
