The5ers Futures Complete Guide: A One-Time Fee Fully Refunded on Your 3rd Payout, But Algo Trading Is Fully Banned [September 2026]
We tested The5ers's futures product directly on the official pages: pricing for all 4 sizes of Day Trade and Swing, EOD drawdown, the 40% consistency rule that applies on both evaluation and funded stages, a fixed 80/20 split, scaling up to $500K, and a full refund of the fee on your 3rd payout. However, the official FAQ explicitly states that high-frequency trading, algorithmic trading, and hedging are 'strictly forbidden, and any trader found using them will be banned from our programs' — so EA traders are excluded.
The5ers Futures vs FTMO Futures: Comparing Two FX Giants' Futures Launch by Automated Trading Policy [September 2026]
The5ers and FTMO have both launched futures products. On September 22, 2026 we measured prices and rules for every size on both official sites. The decisive difference is automated trading: The5ers' FAQ states outright, "algorithmic trading is strictly forbidden, and users will be banned from our programs," while FTMO states, "there is no reason to restrict discretionary trading, algorithmic trading, or EAs." FTMO also explicitly allows VPS and VPN, which puts it ahead of the dedicated futures firms if you plan to run an EA around the clock. We line both up against the same 26 US futures props on cost per unit of loss buffer, EOD drawdown, the scope of the consistency rule, and payout caps.
