TIPS TO PASS THE5ERS
The lower leverage (1:30) forces better risk management from the start
The5ers scaling plan is aggressive — hitting targets can 4x your account
Use the instant funding option if you want to skip the evaluation entirely
Their Bootcamp program is great for learning discipline before going for bigger accounts
WHY TRADERS FAIL THE5ERS
Overleveraging on a 1:30 account compared to 1:100 elsewhere
Ignoring the tighter daily drawdown limits (3% on some programs)
Not adjusting position sizes when scaling up — same risk % but much larger account
Skipping the journal and repeating behavioral mistakes across resets
