Prop research records

Recorded firm rules and program terms from existing public research. These are source records, not a change history.

  • The5ers · Bootcamp ($20k path)

    Program-level record; not an exact account-size SKU or a firm-wide rule.

    Profit target: 6% then 6% then 6%

    Max total loss: 5%

    Evaluation $20k path isolated 2026-09-12: 6% then 6% then 6% targets, 5% max loss. Funded stage is 5% target / 4% max loss / 3% daily pause — not mixed into evaluation fields. Scale-table 5% copy vs 10% header remains unresolved.

    Recorded check date: 2026-09-12

    Company-published terms do not establish a financial licence, regulatory protection, or independently verified payout performance.

  • The5ers · High Stakes Classic

    Program-level record; not an exact account-size SKU or a firm-wide rule.

    Profit target: 8% / 5%

    Max daily loss: 5%

    Max total loss: 10%

    Drawdown type: Static. 10% absolute from initial balance; 5% daily from the previous day close at 00:00 UTC+3

    Minimum trading days: 3 profitable days (≥0.5% closed profit)

    Current tier, not a retired version: it is still sold and costs more than New at every size in exchange for the easier 8% first phase. Published on the same official page as New and not averaged with it. Rules otherwise match New. Concurrent accounts: 1×$2.5K + 1×$5K + 1× either $10K or $25K + 1× either $50K or $100K.

    Recorded check date: 2026-09-03

How the desk works

Public file principles

These rules apply to every FXVeritas public research page. They are not a ranking.

  • Research Confidence is not a safety rating.
  • Regulator verified does not mean a broker is safe.
  • Unknown does not mean unsafe. Unverified does not mean fraudulent. Unregulated does not automatically mean a scam.
  • Protection unknown does not mean no.
  • Commercial or affiliate relationships do not change research labels, verification status, Research Confidence, or editorial conclusions.
  • FXVeritas does not recommend a broker because data has been verified.

Checks, changes and publication

A source check records what was examined and when. It is not a publication date, proof of a material change, or a finding that an entity became safer.

A material update needs an exact subject, evidence of what was previously recorded and what is recorded now, source attribution, checked dates and an important limitation. Formatting edits, source-title edits and unchanged rechecks are not material updates.

Where paired historical evidence is unavailable, FXVeritas does not reconstruct it from a current record. UNKNOWN, explicit absence and conflicting evidence remain distinct. A source URL or content-hash change alone does not prove that the underlying fact changed.

Publication decisions must depend on reader value and evidence. Affiliate status, commission, discounts and commercial relationships must not determine a finding or publication priority.

What we research

  • Legal entities
  • Regulatory licences
  • Licence status
  • Client protection
  • Broker disclosures
  • Regulatory actions
  • Material changes recorded on file

Source hierarchy

Primary sources are preferred where they can be attributed.

  • Regulator registers
  • Official corporate registers
  • Broker legal documents
  • Regulator notices
  • Official disclosures

Verification principles

  • Unknown is not treated as No
  • Unverified is not treated as false
  • Brand names are separated from legal entities
  • Licences are tracked at legal-entity level where the file supports it
  • Commercial relationships do not change research findings

Limits of the file

A recorded check date means that item was reviewed against sources then on file. It does not mean every field is continuously monitored in real time.

A verified licence is a register match for a named legal entity. It is not a finding that the broker is safe.

FXVeritas does not guarantee completeness or accuracy of every public record.
