The5ers
Forex / CFD · Futures · Trustpilot 4.7/5
Founded in Israel in 2016, The5ers is one of the oldest forex prop firms still operating.

Our analysis
Tooling differences
My Funded Futures is the only one of the two to offer ninjatrader, tradovate, quantower, volumetrica. The5ers covers mt5, ctrader, 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.
How much history each firm has
The5ers has been running since 2016, 7 years longer than My Funded Futures. On Trustpilot they sit at 4.9/5 and 4.7/5 respectively. Our trust pillar scores them 83/100 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.
How the loss limit behaves
My Funded Futures applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %. 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.
Getting paid
My Funded Futures keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 1 days, then pays Rapid : toutes les 24 h (minimum 500 $) ; Builder : toutes les 48 h ; Pro : cycle de 14 jours (minimum 1 000 $, plafond 100 000 $ par cycle). The5ers keeps 100 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 14 days, then pays Premier retrait 14 jours apres l'obtention du compte finance, puis toutes les deux semaines ; retrait minimum de 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.
