The5ers Futures
United Kingdomwww.the5ers.com/futures
The5ers Futures is a UK-based futures proprietary trading firm established in February 2026, offering a 1-Step evaluation through its Day Trade and Swing programs, with account sizes from $25K to $150K and an 80% profit split. Swing accounts permit limited overnight exposure, making the program more flexible than firms that require all positions to be closed every day. The5ers Futures also allows news trading and permits copy trading between qualifying accounts owned by the same trader. The main limitations are its 40% per-position consistency rule, a 14-day inactivity requirement, the prohibition of HFT, hedging, and algorithmic trading, restrictions on overnight and weekend holding, and relatively low payout caps.
