A trading journal for The5ers High Stakes
The rule that surprises people at The5ers is not the loss limit. It is the three profitable days per step — and a day only counts when it made at least 0.5% of the starting balance.

Set once, measured everywhere
Pick The5ers, the programme, your account size and the phase in the Prop mode — five short steps. From then on the whole app measures that account with these rules: a bar under the navigation with the distance to your max loss in dollars and the room left today, the challenge on top of the overview, a warning on the trade card when a stop would use most of today’s room, and a plain message when every condition is met or which rule broke on which day.
Evidence counts a day as profitable only above the 0.5% line, so the counter shows the days The5ers will actually accept.
Getting the trades in
The5ers accounts run on MetaTrader 5. Your trades come in through the live tracker (Expert Advisor), MT5 Cloud Sync with your investor password, or a statement import.
What a journal adds to the rule numbers
- Edge & Leaks — every symbol, session, hour and habit tested against your other trades, so you see what passes challenges for you and what quietly fails them.
- A cost ledger for fees, resets and payouts, so you know what the account really cost.
- Guardrails — a personal stop below The5ers’s daily limit, a trade cap and a cooldown after a loss. Free.
When you do not need Evidence
If The5ers’ own dashboard is all you need to see whether a step is passed, you do not need a second tool for that. Evidence adds the part the dashboard does not: which setups and sessions made the profitable days.
Evidence is not affiliated with The5ers. Rules change — always check yours against your own account. The Prop mode for one challenge is free; several at once, the cost ledger and the post-mortem are part of Pro.
