PipFarm rules at a glance
| Rule | Current terms |
|---|---|
| Programs | 1-step trailing (12% target, 3% daily, 8% trailing), 1-step static (12% target, 3% daily, 6% static), 2-step classic (9% then 6%, 3% daily, 9% static), instant in three variants (eod trailing 5%, equity trailing 6% with no daily limit, payout trailing 4%); classic, endurance and consistency modes with different targets; sizes $5k-$300k, scaling to $1.5m; singapore, since 2023 |
| Automation (EAs, bots) | allowed through ctrader automation (cbots); bots must be built around your own strategy, ready-made marketplace bots are banned; pipfarm is ctrader-only |
| Copy trading | Own accounts; manipulating Profitable Day or Consistency metrics with partial closes or hedging is a listed violation |
| Drawdown | balance-based trailing (1-step trailing, 8% at base rank) or static (1-step static 6%, 2-step classic 9%); instant comes as eod trailing (5%), equity trailing (6%, real time) or payout trailing (4%, buffer shrinks with each payout) |
| Daily loss limit | 3% of the previous end-of-day reference (higher of eod balance or equity) on all challenges and funded accounts; none on instant, which uses a 1% open-risk cap instead |
| Consistency | consistency score: 50% on classic challenge accounts, 40% in consistency mode; instant 25% (eod trailing), 30% (equity trailing), 20% (payout trailing); consistency mode lowers targets and earns double xp |
| Minimum days | profitable day metrics per mode; instant needs 6% profit and 5 winning days before the first payout |
| News | Allowed without restrictions (2026 pages); an older review cites a 2-hour window and a 0.2% gap rule, superseded |
| Overnight and weekend | Allowed |
| Payout | starts 70/30; xp ranks raise the split permanently up to 99% at rank 6; payout interval is chosen at purchase (30 days default, bi-weekly, weekly or on demand at extra cost), one payout per 7 days across accounts; payout cap starts at 3% of the balance and rises 1% per payout to 6%, hard cap $5,000 |
| Kill Switch | Trader-activated cTrader tool that locks the account at a daily target or loss |

What this means for a systematic strategy
PipFarm is built for cTrader users and rewards longevity: the split starts at 70% and only XP moves it to 95%, so the economics favour a strategy that survives many months at the same firm. The 3% daily limit on the previous day’s reference is the tight row; a 50% Consistency Score on challenges is loose. Instant replaces the daily limit with a 2% open-risk cap, which a multi-position system has to respect at the book level.
Is PipFarm worth it for a systematic strategy?
1-Step Static or 2-Step Classic for a cBot strategy with small daily risk; not for US residents. Plan for the 70% starting split and the XP climb before comparing it with firms that start at 80–90%.
