The5ers Bootcamp Review (2026): Three Steps, Pay The Rest When You Pass, Code P4F4L & Our 5.2/10 Rating

Three steps to pass

20K: step balances $5K · $10K · $15K, targets · 6% $300 · $600 · $900, max loss · 5% $250 · $500 · $750; 100K: step balances $25K · $50K · $75K, targets · 6% $1,500 · $3,000 · $4,500, max loss · 5% $1,250 · $2,500 · $3,750; 250K: step balances $100K · $150K · $200K, targets · 6% $6,000 · $9,000 · $12,000, max loss · 5% $5,000 · $7,500 · $10,000.

Max loss is static from each step's starting balance. There is no daily loss limit in the three steps — the 3% daily pause only starts once you're funded.

No consistency rule and no time limit. Hit 6% in each step and the next, bigger step opens.

Rating: 5.2/10 and the closest rival

The Enigma Score gives the Bootcamp 100K 5.2/10 (Fair): Value 27, Risk Cushion 44, Payout Reach 59, Pass Ease 92, Trader Sentiment 93 (4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot). Lifts it: no daily limit in the three steps · a low upfront price · the rest paid only on passing · a path to $4M on the 250K · 4.7 on Trustpilot. Holds it back: $300 in total for the 100K · a 50% split at the start · a 4% funded max loss · a non-refundable fee · three steps before funding.

Its closest rival is FXIFY Three Phase 100K (8.9/10, $399 one-time · list): Steps: 3 × 6% on smaller balances vs 3 × 5% on $100K; Max loss: 5% per step · 4% funded vs 5% static; Daily limit: none in steps · 3% funded vs 5%; Fee: $95 + $205 on passing vs $399 up front; Split: 50 / 50 to start vs 80 / 20; First payout: 14 days vs on demand; Fee refund: none vs 100% with payout 1.

Who The5ers Bootcamp is for

Buy it if: You want a low upfront cost — the rest only when you pass; You want no daily limit while you're tested; You're patient with a 50% split at the start. Not for you if: You want an 80% split from day one and most of the fee back → High Stakes. The cheapest way in is the 20K at $22 with our code P4F4L.
