The5ers vs TradersYard: which costs less after the 10% code?

Unlike most prop firm match-ups, The5ers vs TradersYard is a fair fight: both run forex and futures challenges, so the same strategy can go to either. That makes the comparison worth doing properly — on price, on the rules that decide whether you pay twice, and on what each firm discloses. This piece uses only what FundedTicker verified on 16 September 2026, which means one of the two has a checkable price and the other does not.

The5ers vs TradersYard at a glance

Both codes were 10% with no stated expiry at that check. They reduce the entry fee only — targets, drawdown limits and split stay as each firm publishes them.

Same markets, different ladders

The asset overlap is complete, so the real difference is the route to a funded simulated account.

TradersYard starts lower on the evaluation ladder: it offers Instant Funding with no evaluation phase at all, then 1-Step and 2-Step. If you want to skip evaluation risk entirely, The5ers has no equivalent in our data.

The5ers goes further up the ladder: 1 Step Growth, 2 Step High Stakes, 3 Step Bootcamp, plus a separate Futures program. A three-stage evaluation is usually the cheapest way in per dollar of simulated capital, paid for with more stages.

So the question is not "which firm is better" but "how much evaluation do you want to buy".

Price: one number versus a blank

This is the decisive practical gap.

The5ers publishes a fee we could read: 1 Step Growth at 249 USD. Apply 6QK5G and it becomes 224.10 USD. That is the only The5ers price in our verified data; High Stakes, Bootcamp and Futures were not confirmed, so we do not quote them.

TradersYard publishes no fee we could verify, for any of its three programs. We do not print prices we have not read at the source, so there is no "TradersYard costs X" line here. You have to reach its checkout, apply RHYRMMQ5CK and watch the total.

One caveat on the TradersYard side: at our check its homepage advertised a 30% promotion on larger and instant accounts. That is the firm's own offer, not our code, and we do not know whether the two combine. Compare both totals and take the lower.

On price transparency The5ers wins outright: you can budget it before registering. That is not the same as being cheaper — TradersYard may well undercut 224.10 USD; we cannot show it.

Rules: the part that decides whether you pay twice

Here the asymmetry flips into something more useful, because the rules we could verify belong to The5ers.

1 Step Growth carries a 10% profit target, a 6% maximum loss and a 3% daily loss limit. Read that daily limit carefully: in a single-stage evaluation, 3% is tight for larger position sizes, and breaching it ends the attempt. The next attempt costs money, and we do not hold The5ers' reset fee, so budget a retry at full price until the firm says otherwise.

TradersYard's targets and drawdown limits were not published clearly enough for us to verify, for any of its three programs — a genuine unknown on the side that also has no published price. If you choose TradersYard, get the rules in writing from support before paying; our payout rules guide lists the questions to ask, including whether the maximum loss is static or trailing.

Verified strict rules beat unverified generous-sounding ones. A 3% daily limit you know about is easier to plan around than a limit you discover after a breach.

Profit split: a high ceiling versus a clear table

TradersYard's split is explicit and tiered: you keep 100% of the first 300 USD of a payout, 90% of the portion to 1,000 USD, and 80% above. Small, frequent payouts keep nearly everything; the effective share drifts toward 80% as payouts grow.

The5ers' split in our data is "up to 100%, varies by program". That is a ceiling, not a rate, and our The5ers vs Instant Funding comparison notes that different pages of the official site show different figures. So the number that matters is the one shown for the program you actually buy.

The honest read: The5ers advertises the higher ceiling, TradersYard discloses the clearer table. If you want to know your share before paying, TradersYard tells you today.

Scaling and track record

On maximum simulated capital the gap is large and, this time, a like-for-like one: The5ers lists 4,000,000 USD against TradersYard's 300,000 USD per account — roughly thirteen times. Treat that as a long-horizon ambition rather than a feature you will use soon: reaching the top of any scaling plan takes sustained profitable trading.

On track record, The5ers was founded in 2016; TradersYard's founding year is not in our verified data. Ten years of operation guarantees nothing, but for a model that depends on the firm still being there when your payout is due, longevity is worth weighing.

How to decide

1. Pick by how much evaluation risk you want. No evaluation at all → TradersYard Instant Funding. Cheapest entry per unit of simulated capital → a multi-stage route at The5ers.
2. Get the real fee. The5ers Growth is 249 USD before the code; for TradersYard, whatever its checkout shows you today.
3. Apply the code and confirm the drop. 6QK5G or RHYRMMQ5CK, 10%, last checked 16 September 2026. If a code is rejected, see our checkout guide.
4. Get the missing rules in writing. Especially TradersYard's targets and drawdown method, and both firms' reset fees.
5. Run the total, not the discount. Put the post-code fee and a realistic attempt count into the True Cost Calculator. With a 3% daily limit in play, one extra attempt outweighs 10% off several times over.

Verdict

If you want to know what you are paying and what the rules are before handing over money, The5ers is the better-documented choice today: a published 249 USD entry that becomes 224.10 USD with 6QK5G, verified Growth rules, a decade of history and a far higher scaling ceiling. The cost of that clarity is a tight 3% daily loss limit on its cheapest route.

If you want to skip evaluation entirely, or to know your exact profit share up front, TradersYard is stronger on those two points: no-evaluation funding and a tiered split in plain numbers. You just cannot price it, or read its drawdown rules, without reaching its checkout.

Neither gap is a verdict on quality; both are things to resolve before you pay. Full pages: The5ers and TradersYard, plus the longer reviews — The5ers review and TradersYard review.

FAQ: The5ers vs TradersYard

Which is cheaper after the discount code? We can only price one of them. The5ers 1 Step Growth is 249 USD, or 224.10 USD after 6QK5G. TradersYard published no fee we could verify, so a comparison needs its logged-in checkout total.

Do both firms offer forex and futures? Yes. Both covered forex and futures at our 16 September 2026 check, which is why this comparison is meaningful — the same strategy can go to either.

Which has the better profit split? Different strengths. TradersYard publishes a tiered 100% / 90% / 80%. The5ers advertises up to 100% but varies by program, and its own pages differ, so confirm the figure for your program before deciding on that basis.

Is The5ers' 3% daily loss limit unusually strict? It is tight for a single-stage evaluation, especially with larger positions. It applies to 1 Step Growth in our data; we have not confirmed the limits for High Stakes, Bootcamp or Futures, nor any of TradersYard's.

Do the codes 6QK5G and RHYRMMQ5CK expire? Neither had a stated expiry when we checked them on 16 September 2026. Each code page shows the date of its last check, and we remove a code as soon as it stops working.

Risk warning: Trading leveraged products such as forex and futures carries a high level of risk. Prop firm challenges are simulated accounts with a non-refundable fee; most participants do not pass, and meeting a profit target does not guarantee a payout. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
