The5ers

The5ers drew 12 negative Trustpilot reviews in 29 hours alleging terminations without evidence and answered none of them.

  • 12 negative The5ers reviews in 29 hours, one a $15,800 payout rejected after the firm's interview and the account closed
  • Instant Funding answered 9 of 11 one-star reviews and called 4 payout denials final under its risk rules
  • A FundedElite reviewer says a $16,310 payout was blocked for IP sharing, then a country rule, then met with a free reset offer
  • Hola Prime's new Prime X drops the risk rule and the mandatory stop loss but keeps a 10% max loss
  • Maven traders say stops filled well past the line on NFP day; other traders say that was the market, not the firm
