The5ers payouts and scale-up ladder: 14 days, then 50% to 100%
The5ers pays the least at the bottom of its ladder and the most at the top. Timing, rungs and what kind of equity curve climbs them.

Why the ladder matters more here than elsewhere
Two of the four programs start at a 50% split, so The5ers pays less than most firms at the bottom of the ladder and more than almost all at the top. The ladder climbs on profit milestones, each roughly a 10% step, and each doubling resets the payout cycle. For a systematic strategy that produces steady 5–10% steps the ladder is a path to 100%; for one that produces a large month and then flat it is not, because the milestones need repeated hits. Model the expected months to each rung from the backtest before choosing between High Stakes at 80% from day one and Hyper Growth at 50% with a pause-style daily rule.
