The5ers — Verification Record

This is the complete, dated record of every independent verification pass this corpus has run against The5ers's own published rules, beyond the initial read: what was checked, what the check found, what changed, and what was preserved for the record even where two readings disagreed. See how a number gets checked twice for the method behind every entry below.

• 2026-07-31 Confirmed, items preserved for the record

  Two independent readers, each working blind to the other’s output and to the stored value

  Field-by-field: 1 corrected (1 field touched this pass).

  Targeted recheck (batch 4, 2026-07-31): two fresh independent readers converged on the same underlying fact, framed differently. The5ers High Stakes program page states 5% daily loss but no reset hour on its own; the FAQ (What are the general rules for the High Stakes Program?) gives 00:00 UTC+3; a SEPARATE FAQ (max-loss article) explicitly defines the programs own MT5 Server Time as "GMT+2 winter time or GMT+3 summer time" - i.e. this is the SAME seasonal DST ambiguity already modeled for Topstep (CDT/CST) and FTMO (CET/CEST), not a genuine self-contradiction. GMT+2 winter -> 00:00 local = 22:00 UTC (matches our held value exactly). GMT+3 summer -> 00:00 local = 21:00 UTC.

• 2026-07-22 Confirmed, one discrepancy flagged

  Two independent readers, each working blind to the other’s output and to the stored value

  Field-by-field: 8 confirmed · 2 preserved for the record (10 fields touched this pass).

  Confirmed by both blind passes: "High Stakes" is still the live product name; we model the "New" variant (phase-1 10%) and both passes confirm New=10% / Classic=8% coexist, phase 2 = 5% for both. Min 3 PROFITABLE days (a profitable day = closed profit >= 0.5% of initial balance - stricter than 3 active days), unlimited duration, daily loss 5%, max loss 10% STATIC anchored to initial balance. Consistency correctly NONE: pass B established the 40% rule belongs to The5ers FUTURES, not High Stakes. Unverifiable: max_drawdown.basis - our corpus asserts equity_intraday, but BOTH passes independently failed to find any first-party sentence stating whether the 10% floor is tested on intraday equity or daily closing balance. This field is asserted, not sourced. Discrepancy noted: reset_time_utc 22:00 vs the firm publishing "00:00 UTC+3" (=21:00 UTC) on the FAQ and an hourless "MT5 Server Time" on the program page - the two first-party pages disagree with each other AND with us. Separately noted: help.the5ers.com is entirely DEAD (404 on every path incl. root); all of our the5ers provenance source_urls point at that host and no longer resolve. FAQ content moved to the5ers.com/faqs/.
