Paste your real per-trade results in R (a 2.3R winner, a full -1 loss, a -0.6partial, and so on). The sim resamples them in blocks so your actual losing streaks stay intact, instead of assuming every trade is independent. The win rate and R above are read from these while they’re here. 8+ trades needed.
Challenge verdict
Good odds — held back by a thin, uncertain sample.
Held to B: the odds rest on a thin sample — more trades would firm it up.
Risk 0.90% (~$900) per trade gives the best raw odds — 86% of simulated attempts pass. But you don't need to size that big: 0.80% (~$800) passes 84% of the time — nearly the same — for less blow-up risk. Over-sizing rarely buys better odds; it mostly raises the chance of a breach.
Best-odds pass rate is 86% on your point estimate, 16% at the low end of a 50-trade sample. The tighter that gap, the more your sample backs the number.

Run this on your real trades, automatically.
You just sized one edge by hand. TradeTrove logs every trade, tracks your live daily-loss across a real challenge, and re-runs this Monte Carlo on your actual results — across FTMO, The5ers, FundingPips, FundedNext and Alpha Capital.

Most The5ersaccounts don’t fail on strategy — they fail on the 10% max drawdown or the 5% daily loss limit, usually from three to five oversized trades. The calculator above sweeps every position size against those exact limits and the 8% target, then shows the one with the highest odds of clearing the challenge. The honest answer is almost always smaller than traders expect — which is the whole point of checking before you pay the fee.
§ The5ers questions
What lot size should I use for The5ers?
There's no single number — the safe size depends on your win rate and reward:risk. The free calculator above runs thousands of simulated The5ers attempts against its 10% max drawdown and 5% daily loss limit and returns the position size with the best odds of passing, plus a leaner size with nearly the same odds. It's almost always smaller than traders expect.
What is The5ers's max drawdown and daily loss limit?
