Trade The Pool

Yes. Trade The Pool is registered under Five Percent Online Ltd (Company No. 515864007) in Raanana, Israel, with a UK branch at 168 Praed Street, London. The firm was founded in 2022 by Gil Ben Hur — who also founded The5ers in 2016 — giving it strong institutional credibility backed by a decade of prop firm operations. Funded accounts execute through Interactive Brokers, a regulated global broker. A free 14-day trial is available before any evaluation purchase.

Yes. Trade The Pool has no PDT (Pattern Day Trader) restriction on any account type. Retail traders in the US with under $25,000 in their personal brokerage accounts are limited to 3 day trades per 5 business days under the PDT rule. At Trade The Pool, this rule does not apply — traders can make unlimited day trades regardless of their account size. This is one of the most significant advantages for active US stock traders who would otherwise be restricted by their personal capital.

The most common reasons traders fail the Trade The Pool evaluation are breaching the daily pause limit by taking oversized losses in a single session, failing the consistency rule by having one position account for more than 30% of the profit target, having trades invalidated by the 30-second minimum duration or 10-cent minimum price range rules, and holding positions on earnings stocks overnight which causes automatic liquidation. Understanding all four of these rules before starting the evaluation significantly increases your chance of passing.

On Day Trading accounts, your available buying power is significantly reduced during pre-market and after-hours sessions. A $5,000 account reduces to $800 overnight, a $25,000 account reduces to $4,000, a $50,000 account reduces to $8,000, a $100,000 account reduces to $16,000, and a $200,000 account reduces to $32,000. This reduction applies between 4:00 PM ET and 9:30 AM ET the following trading day. Swing Trading accounts are not subject to this reduction — full buying power is maintained during all pre-market, after-hours, and overnight sessions.

On funded accounts, you can request a withdrawal after 14 days from the account inception date with a minimum of $300 in profits — $150 for $5,000 accounts. For FLEX accounts, you must also achieve at least 3 profitable days with a gain of 0.5% or more within any 14-day period before requesting a payout. Scaling is triggered by reaching a 10% validated profit target on the funded account — buying power increases by 5% and the daily pause increases by 10% at each scale. The maximum total buying power through scaling is $6,000,000. Payouts are processed via wire transfer, cryptocurrency, Hub credits, or credit card within 3 to 5 business days.
