Head to head · 33 criteria compared On the 33 criteria we compare, The5ers comes out ahead (8 against 4). Funded Trading Plus stays relevant for traders whose priorities differ from the average.
A London firm founded in late 2021 and bought by Instant Funding in May 2026, Funded Trading Plus pays every 7 days on its 1-Step Express and Instant programs, with the split rising from 80 to 100% and scaling up to $5 million. The catch: intraday trailing drawdown on both, and a Trustpilot score the platform has pulled.
Criteria won: 4 / 33
Founded in Israel in 2016, The5ers is one of the oldest forex prop firms still operating. Its strongest asset is the rulebook: static drawdown across every program, no time limit and no consistency rule. The tradable universe stays narrow, though — forex, indices, metals and futures, with no crypto and no equities.

Choose Funded Trading Plus if… Choose The5ers if… Funded Trading Plus keeps 100 % of profits, then pays Every 7 days on 1-Step Express and Instant; every 10 days on 2-Step Classic. The5ers keeps 100 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 14 days, then pays First withdrawal 14 days after the funded account is granted, then every two weeks; minimum withdrawal $150. Payout frequency deserves as much attention as the split itself: a slightly lower share paid every two weeks compounds faster than a headline percentage locked behind a monthly cycle and a long first-withdrawal delay.
Funded Trading Plus is the only one of the two to offer dxtrade, match-trader. The5ers covers tradingview, which its rival does not. Platform choice is not cosmetic: order execution, available order types and the reliability of your automation all depend on it, and switching mid-evaluation is rarely possible.
The5ers has been running since 2016, 5 years longer than Funded Trading Plus. Our trust pillar scores them 74/100 and 96/100, which weighs age, corporate transparency and public payout evidence. In an industry with no financial regulator overseeing these evaluations, longevity and a verifiable payout history are the closest thing to a guarantee.
The5ers opens at $39 against $89 for Funded Trading Plus, a substantial gap on the smallest account. At the reference size of 100 K the comparison is $549 for Funded Trading Plus against $545 for The5ers. The headline fee is rarely the real cost, though: what matters is the price of a reset after a failed attempt, whether the fee comes back on the first payout, and whether an activation fee appears when you move to a funded account. Compare those three lines in the table above before deciding on price alone.
Funded Trading Plus applies a trailing intraday drawdown capped at 6 %, with a 4 % daily limit. The5ers applies a static drawdown capped at 10 %, with a 5 % daily limit. This is the single most consequential difference between the two. A static drawdown is measured once, from the starting balance, and never moves; a trailing drawdown follows your equity upward, so a winning streak raises the floor you can no longer fall below. Intraday trailing is stricter still, because it tracks unrealised peaks reached inside the session — profit you never actually banked can permanently raise your loss threshold.
