The5%ers has updated its Bootcamp program by increasing the available leverage from 1:10 to 1:30. The firm kept the program’s pricing unchanged.
The higher leverage gives traders more flexibility when sizing positions. With increased buying power, traders can open larger positions using the same account balance. This change may help traders adapt more easily to different market conditions, particularly those using short-term or precision-based strategies.
The Bootcamp program serves as an entry-level pathway for traders who want to prove consistency under strict risk rules. By increasing leverage, The5%ers aims to align the program more closely with live market conditions. The firm did not alter any core rules. Profit targets, drawdown limits, and evaluation criteria remain the same.
The firm stated that the update focuses on execution efficiency rather than risk-taking. Traders must still follow the same risk management framework that defines the Bootcamp challenge.
The leverage increase also reflects a broader trend across the proprietary trading industry. Many firms continue to adjust program conditions in response to trader demand for more realistic trading environments and greater control over position sizing.
The update is now live. New and existing Bootcamp participants can access the higher leverage without additional costs.
