The 5%ers Hyper Growth is the firm's flagship 1-step CFD evaluation program, available in $5,000, $10,000, and $20,000 sizes, with a signature rule that separates it from virtually every other funded account in the market: a 3% daily loss PAUSE rather than a termination. When a Hyper Growth account hits the daily 3% limit, trading suspends until the next server reset. The account stays open. The evaluation continues. No other standard consequence applies beyond losing that day's trading session.
The program covers Forex, Metals, Indices, and Crypto CFDs on MT5 Hedge and cTrader. There are no minimum trading days and no evaluation deadline beyond the 30-day inactivity rule. Profit split starts at 50/50 and scales through a four-tier structure to 100% as the account grows toward a $4,000,000 ceiling. A 15% off promo runs on the $10,000 size through June 1, 2026.
This article covers the Hyper Growth program rules, fees, the 3% pause mechanics, the scaling path, what you can trade, and how Hyper Growth compares to The 5%ers Pro Growth and High Stakes programs.
The 5%ers Hyper Growth rules at a glance
As of May 2026, the The 5%ers Hyper Growth program operates under the following parameters.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Structure | 1-step evaluation |
| Account sizes | $5,000 / $10,000 / $20,000 |
| Maximum total allocation | $40,000 across all Hyper Growth accounts |
| Profit target (eval) | 10% |
| Profit target (funded, per tier) | 10% |
| Daily loss rule | 3% PAUSE (not termination) |
| Maximum drawdown | 6% from initial account balance (terminates) |
| Minimum trading days | None |
| Evaluation time limit | Unlimited (30-day inactivity closes account) |
| Profit split start | 50/50 |
| Profit split ceiling | 100% |
| Scaling maximum | $4,000,000 |
| Assets | FX, Metals, Indices, Crypto CFDs |
| Platforms | MT5 Hedge / cTrader |
| Overnight holding | Allowed |
| Weekend holding | Allowed (indices carry elevated swap) |
| News trading | Allowed; bracket strategies prohibited |
| EAs / automated | Allowed; HFT, arbitrage, tick-scalping banned |
The two parameters that define the Hyper Growth experience are the 3% pause and the $4M scaling ceiling. Every other prop firm metric in the table above can be found in varying form across competing programs. The pause-not-terminate daily loss rule and the $4 million growth track are what make Hyper Growth a distinct product.
How the 3% pause rule works
The 3% daily loss PAUSE is the most important rule to understand before starting a Hyper Growth evaluation. Most funded accounts in the prop trading market terminate the challenge or close the funded account when a trader hits the daily loss limit. The 5%ers Hyper Growth does not.
When a Hyper Growth account's daily loss reaches 3% of the account balance, the platform suspends trading for the remainder of that trading session. At the next server reset, access restores and the trader continues the evaluation. The account is not closed. The progress toward the 10% profit target is not reset. The breach is logged as a session-level suspension, not an account-level failure.
This distinction matters in practice. A trader running a Hyper Growth evaluation who has nine strong days and one bad day that hits the 3% limit loses one trading session. The evaluation stays active. A comparable program with a 3% terminate rule ends the challenge on that same bad day, requiring the trader to purchase a new evaluation.
The The 5%ers Pro Growth program, introduced in 2026, provides the direct contrast. Pro Growth is also a 1-step evaluation with a 3% daily loss limit. On Pro Growth, that 3% limit TERMINATES the account. Same percentage, opposite consequence. Traders choosing between the two programs are choosing between a safety net and a stricter accountability structure. The Hyper Growth pause is the more forgiving option. The Pro Growth terminate rule is the stricter discipline model.
A note on scope: the 3% pause applies to the daily loss limit only. The 6% maximum drawdown is a separate rule and does terminate the account on breach. The two rules operate on different thresholds: the daily pause kicks in at 3% loss in a single session; the account termination kicks in if cumulative losses from the initial balance reach 6%, whether over one day or many.
Account sizes, fees, and the $40,000 cap
As of May 2026, The 5%ers Hyper Growth is available in three account sizes: $5,000, $10,000, and $20,000. The base entry fee for the $5,000 size is approximately $74. The $10,000 size carries a 15% off promotional price through June 1, 2026, redeemable at hub.the5ers.com/en/coupons/1/15hg. The standard base price for the $10,000 size before the promo is also approximately $74 at the lower end, with the exact discount working out to a meaningful reduction on the pre-discount rate.
Exact fees for the $5,000 and $20,000 sizes are not published separately on the firm's primary pages as of this writing. The $74 base fee is the documented floor. Traders should verify current pricing on the firm's signup page before purchase, as promotional pricing changes.
The 5%ers limits each trader to a maximum of $40,000 total across all active Hyper Growth accounts. Multiple concurrent Hyper Growth accounts are permitted within that cap. For example, a trader can run two $20,000 Hyper Growth accounts simultaneously. The cap applies to the Hyper Growth program specifically and does not count toward account limits on other The 5%ers programs (Pro Growth, High Stakes, Bootcamp, Futures).
What you can trade on The 5%ers Hyper Growth
The 5%ers Hyper Growth covers four asset classes: Forex, Metals, Indices, and Crypto CFDs. The firm's product page lists assets verbatim as "FX, Metals, Indices, crypto." This is the confirmed scope. The asset list includes:
- Forex: Major, minor, and exotic currency pairs at 1:30 leverage.
- Metals: Gold (XAU/USD), Silver (XAG/USD), and related instruments.
- Indices: Global stock indices. Overnight and weekend holding is permitted on indices, though weekend holding carries elevated swap costs.
- Crypto CFDs: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto CFD instruments. Leverage on crypto is lower than Forex. Exact crypto leverage is confirmed for the Pro Growth program at 1:0.60 and is expected to be comparable on Hyper Growth, but the firm's page does not specify a separate Hyper Growth crypto leverage figure. Verify on the specification sheet before trading crypto on the evaluation.
Hyper Growth does not have access to Oil as a distinct instrument (High Stakes does). Hyper Growth is the only The 5%ers program that allows crypto CFDs alongside the standard FX/Metals/Indices set while also offering the pause rule. That combination of crypto access plus pause-not-terminate is not replicated on Bootcamp (no crypto, pause rule only on funded stage) or Pro Growth (crypto yes, terminate rule).
Platform options. MT5 Hedge is the primary platform. cTrader is available as an additional option. For US-based traders, cTrader is the required path because MetaQuotes (MT5) does not serve US clients. Both platforms provide access to the same Hyper Growth asset list and rule set. Black Arrow, the Futures platform, is not relevant to Hyper Growth.
News trading. Holding through high-impact news events is permitted on Hyper Growth. The firm does not impose a pre-news order blackout window on this program (the 2-minute window restriction applies to High Stakes and Pro Growth, not to Hyper Growth based on available documentation). Bracket strategies (simultaneous buy-stop and sell-stop orders placed to catch a news move in either direction) are prohibited across all The 5%ers programs, including Hyper Growth.
Overnight and weekend holding. Both are permitted. Indices carry higher swap costs on weekends. Traders with open index positions on Friday close should account for the elevated swap before leaving positions over the weekend.
How Hyper Growth scaling works from $5K to $4 million
The 5%ers Hyper Growth scaling follows a profit-milestone structure. Each tier requires a 10% profit target. Reaching that target scales the account and advances the profit split toward 100%.
| Scaling tier | Profit split | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Entry (evaluation + early funded) | 50/50 | Passing 10% evaluation target |
| Mid tier | 75/25 | 10% profit milestone on current balance |
| Upper-mid tier | 80/20 | 10% profit milestone on scaled balance |
| Top tier | 100% | 10% profit milestone toward $4M ceiling |
The 100% profit split is the maximum advertised by The 5%ers. It is not the starting point. Traders begin funded life at 50/50 and work toward 100% through sustained profitable performance. This is a multi-year scaling track for most traders, not a quick route to the top tier.
The $4,000,000 ceiling is the highest scaling maximum on The 5%ers across all programs. Hyper Growth and Bootcamp both share the $4M ceiling. Pro Growth and High Stakes cap at $500,000. Futures Basecamp and Rebate cap at $500,000. Traders who want the longest growth runway on The 5%ers are choosing between Hyper Growth (1-step, pause rule, crypto access) and Bootcamp (3-step, mandatory stop-loss, no crypto).
Each 10% scaling milestone also resets the payout cycle. The bi-weekly payout schedule (every 14 days from the last approved withdrawal) continues through the scaling progression. The minimum withdrawal is $150 after the profit split is applied. Withdrawal fees are 3.5% for Rise, crypto, and bank transfer; 0% for Hub Credits.
Who should choose The 5%ers Hyper Growth?
The 5%ers Hyper Growth is the strongest fit for traders who want a 1-step CFD evaluation with the maximum scaling ceiling on the firm, access to crypto CFDs, and a daily loss safety net that does not end the evaluation on a bad day.
Hyper Growth is right for you if:
- You want to pass a single evaluation phase and move directly to funded status without multi-step progression.
- The 3% pause-not-terminate structure matters to you. A trader who has previously failed challenges on a bad day will find the pause rule a meaningful risk reduction.
- You plan to trade the evaluation without a fixed deadline and want the flexibility of unlimited time.
- You want to trade Crypto CFDs alongside Forex, Metals, and Indices under one account.
- You are building toward a long-term scaling track and want the $4M ceiling rather than the $500K cap on Pro Growth and High Stakes.
- You are a US-based trader looking for a 1-step CFD program. cTrader access makes Hyper Growth available to the US market.
Hyper Growth is not the right fit if:
- You want a higher starting profit split from day one. Pro Growth opens at 75/25, giving disciplined traders a meaningfully better split from the first funded day. Hyper Growth starts at 50/50.
- You want Oil as a tradeable instrument. High Stakes is the only The 5%ers CFD program with explicit oil access.
- You want the lowest-cost total path to funded status. Bootcamp's $72 total (Step 1 at $22 plus funded activation at $50) is cheaper on documented fees, though the 3-step evaluation is longer.
- You want a 2-step structure with a 5% profit target on the second phase as a lower hurdle before funded status. High Stakes' two-phase design with 10% Step 1 and 5% Step 2 is built for that preference.
Hyper Growth vs Pro Growth. The comparison between these two programs is the most common decision a new The 5%ers trader faces. Both are 1-step, same account sizes, same 10% target. The four differences that drive the choice:
| Factor | Hyper Growth | Pro Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Daily loss consequence | 3% PAUSE | 3% TERMINATE |
| Minimum profitable days | None | 3 days, each ≥0.5% closed profit |
| Profit split start | 50/50 | 75/25 |
| Scaling maximum | $4,000,000 | $500,000 |
Traders who prioritize the scaling ceiling and the pause safety net choose Hyper Growth. Traders who prioritize a higher starting profit split and are disciplined enough to hit three profitable days per challenge without triggering the terminate rule choose Pro Growth. The choice is not about asset access or platform. Both programs offer the same instruments on the same platforms.
Hyper Growth vs High Stakes. High Stakes is The 5%ers' 2-step evaluation. The two-phase structure requires 10% on Step 1 and 5% on Step 2 before reaching funded status. High Stakes offers 1:100 leverage (vs Hyper Growth's 1:30 on Forex), Oil access, and a higher starting profit split of 80/20. The tradeoffs: a 5% daily loss limit that terminates the account (stricter than Hyper Growth's 3% pause), a 10% maximum drawdown (vs Hyper Growth's 6%), and a $500K scaling ceiling. The High Stakes entry at $19 for Step 1 across all account sizes is lower than Hyper Growth's base fee for the same dollar-amount account. Traders who want leverage above 1:30 and are comfortable with stricter daily loss rules belong in High Stakes.
The bottom line
The 5%ers Hyper Growth is the right program for traders who want a 1-step CFD evaluation with a daily loss protection system that does not end the challenge on a bad session. The 3% pause rule is the defining feature: it removes the single worst outcome of most prop firm evaluations (one bad day ending weeks of work) without removing accountability for maximum drawdown. The $4,000,000 scaling ceiling, crypto CFD access, and unlimited evaluation time round out a program designed for traders building long-term, not racing through a 30-day sprint.
The program is not right for traders who want a higher starting profit split from day one (look at Pro Growth for 75/25), higher leverage than 1:30 with oil access (look at High Stakes), or the cheapest documented total cost to funded status (Bootcamp at $72 total is lower on fee structure). The 15% off $10,000 promo running through June 1, 2026, makes this a reasonable entry window. Use the affiliate link for the PTV reader discount code at checkout.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is The 5%ers Hyper Growth program?
The 5%ers Hyper Growth is a 1-step CFD funded evaluation program. Traders pass a single evaluation phase by hitting a 10% profit target, then receive a funded account on the same terms. The program runs on MT5 Hedge or cTrader and covers FX, Metals, Indices, and Crypto CFDs. Three account sizes are available: $5,000, $10,000, and $20,000. The maximum total allocation across all Hyper Growth accounts is $40,000 per trader. Scaling continues through multiple profit-split tiers up to a $4,000,000 ceiling.
How does the 3% pause rule work on Hyper Growth?
When a Hyper Growth account's daily loss reaches 3% of the account balance, trading is paused for the rest of the trading session. The pause lifts at the next server reset. The account is not closed, the evaluation is not failed, and no penalty is applied beyond the session suspension. This is the opposite of the industry norm, where hitting the daily loss limit terminates the account or challenge. The pause rule means a bad day costs one trading session, not the entire evaluation. The 6% maximum drawdown is a separate rule that does terminate the account on breach.
What is the profit target on The 5%ers Hyper Growth?
The Hyper Growth profit target is 10% during the evaluation phase. After passing evaluation and reaching funded status, each scaling tier also requires a 10% profit milestone to unlock the next level. There is no minimum number of trading days, and the evaluation period is unlimited — traders have as long as needed to reach the 10% target, subject only to the 30-day inactivity rule that closes dormant accounts.
What is the maximum drawdown on Hyper Growth?
The Hyper Growth maximum drawdown is 6% from the initial account balance. Breaching this limit terminates the account. The 6% is measured from the initial balance at account creation, not from the highest balance reached. It is not a trailing drawdown. The daily 3% pause rule kicks in first at 3%, pausing trading for the day. If losses accumulate across multiple sessions and reach 6% from the initial balance, the account closes. The two rules operate on different thresholds and with different consequences.
What can I trade on The 5%ers Hyper Growth?
The 5%ers Hyper Growth offers four asset classes: Forex, Metals (including Gold and Silver), Indices, and Crypto CFDs. The firm's Hyper Growth product page lists assets verbatim as "FX, Metals, Indices, crypto." Overnight holding is permitted. Weekend holding is permitted, though indices carry elevated swap costs on weekends. News trading is allowed, including holding through high-impact events. Bracket strategies are prohibited.
What platforms does Hyper Growth use?
The 5%ers Hyper Growth runs on MT5 Hedge as the primary platform. cTrader is available as an additional option. The cTrader platform was added in September 2025 and is required for US traders since MetaQuotes MT5 is not available in the United States. Both platforms provide access to the same Hyper Growth instrument list and rules.
Does Hyper Growth allow EAs and automated trading?
Expert Advisors and automated trading systems are permitted on The 5%ers Hyper Growth. The firm prohibits specific types: tick scalping, high-frequency trading, arbitrage strategies (including latency and reverse arbitrage), and emulator-based EAs. Standard algorithmic approaches within those constraints are allowed. Copy trading from an external signal provider or coordinating trades across multiple accounts is prohibited and grounds for termination.
How does Hyper Growth profit split scaling work?
The 5%ers Hyper Growth starts funded traders at a 50/50 profit split. As the account grows through 10% profit milestones at each tier, the split progresses to 75/25, then 80/20, then 100% at the upper tiers of the $4,000,000 scaling track. The 100% split is the advertised ceiling. Each scaling step requires hitting a 10% profit target on the current tier balance.
What is the $40,000 total cap on Hyper Growth?
The 5%ers limits each trader to $40,000 total across all active Hyper Growth accounts. Multiple concurrent Hyper Growth accounts are permitted within that cap — for example, two $20,000 accounts. The $40,000 cap is specific to the Hyper Growth program and does not count toward stacking limits on Pro Growth, High Stakes, Bootcamp, or the Futures programs.
Is there a time limit on the Hyper Growth evaluation?
There is no fixed time limit on the Hyper Growth evaluation phase. Traders have unlimited time to reach the 10% profit target. The only time-related rule is the 30-consecutive-day inactivity rule: if no trades are placed for 30 consecutive days, the account closes. As long as the account sees at least one trade within any 30-day window, the evaluation remains open indefinitely.
What is the current Hyper Growth promo?
As of May 2026, The 5%ers is running a 15% off promotion on the $10,000 Hyper Growth account, expiring June 1, 2026. Redemption is via hub.the5ers.com/en/coupons/1/15hg. The PTV reader discount code 7QHKBHSAQV applies separately at checkout via the affiliate link. Whether both promotions stack is not documented — treat the public promo as the floor price.
How does Hyper Growth compare to Pro Growth?
Hyper Growth and Pro Growth are both 1-step CFD evaluations with the same account sizes ($5K, $10K, $20K) and the same 10% profit target. The key differences: Hyper Growth uses a 3% daily loss PAUSE (trading suspends, account stays open); Pro Growth uses a 3% daily loss TERMINATE (account is closed on breach). Hyper Growth has no minimum profitable days; Pro Growth requires 3 days each with at least 0.5% closed profit. Hyper Growth scales to $4,000,000 starting at 50/50; Pro Growth scales to $500,000 starting at 75/25.
Can US traders use The 5%ers Hyper Growth?
Yes. US traders can access The 5%ers Hyper Growth via the cTrader platform. MT5 is not available to US traders for regulatory reasons. The 5%ers added cTrader in September 2025 to enable US trader access to the CFD programs, including Hyper Growth. US traders register and trade through cTrader with access to the same Hyper Growth rules, assets, and profit split structure.
What happens if I breach the Hyper Growth 6% drawdown?
Breaching the 6% maximum drawdown on The 5%ers Hyper Growth terminates the account. The 6% is calculated from the initial account balance at opening, not from a trailing peak balance. Once account losses cumulatively reach 6% from the starting balance, the account is closed. There is no built-in reset option; traders who breach need to purchase a new evaluation. This is different from the daily 3% pause, which is a temporary suspension that does not close the account.
