The 5%ers is a Total Scam — They Ban Profitable Traders to Avoid Paying!
I’m exposing The 5%ers for what they truly are — a prop firm scam that punishes success instead of rewarding it. After trading with full discipline and consistency [Total payouts received $87K in just 5 months & one of my previous high stakes account scaled to $300K], I was building profits steadily — and instead of getting rewarded, they suddenly terminated my account with a false accusation of “copytrading.” Their so-called “proof” was that my account shared a similar IP address with someone else. Seriously? In today’s world of shared networks, VPNs, and dynamic IPs, that’s their excuse to erase weeks of hard work and avoid a payout? They didn’t show a single piece of real evidence. They didn’t even let me explain or defend myself. The truth is simple — once you start making real profits, The 5%ers get scared. They know paying consistent, skilled traders cuts into their business model, which mainly depends on selling endless evaluations to new traders who never reach payout. The 5%ers love to market themselves as an “A-Book Prop Firm” — claiming that all trader accounts are connected directly to real market liquidity providers and that they make money only when traders win. In reality, The 5%ers operates exactly like a B-Book firm — they route most traders’ orders internally, take the opposite side of trades, and profit when traders lose. If they were truly A-Book, they would never fear consistent profitable traders. But as soon as someone starts performing too well or reaching payout level, they terminate the account with fake excuses like “copytrading” or “IP connection.” I was a consistent trader — I’ve scaled accounts before, I know how to manage risk, and they knew I could pull serious profits. So instead of paying, they looked for any random reason to label me as a “rule breaker” and shut me down. And to make it worse — they refused to refund my evaluation fees after banning me without a single valid reason. That shows everything about their ethics (or lack thereof). The 5%ers is not a trader-friendly firm — it’s a trader trap. They’ll happily take your money for evaluations, but the moment you become profitable enough to withdraw a big payout, they’ll find a fake excuse to terminate you. Traders, don’t waste your time and skills here. There are many honest prop firms out there — The 5%ers is NOT one of them. I will expose this scam across every trading forum, community, and social platform until they stop exploiting traders and hiding behind fake “compliance reviews.”
