PipFarm: rules card
Every PipFarm rule (1-Step Trailing, 1-Step Static, 2-Step Classic, Instant) that decides whether a strategy fits, including the XP system that moves the split from 70% to 95%.
PipFarm rules at a glance
| Rule | Current terms |
|---|---|
| Programs | 1-Step Trailing (12% target, 3% daily, 12% trailing), 1-Step Static (12% target, 3% daily, 6% static), 2-Step Classic (6% then 6%, 3% daily, 9% static), Instant (6% trailing, no daily limit); Consistency and Classic modes with different targets; sizes $5K–$300K, scaling to $1.5M; Singapore, since 2023 (tradetanto Jul 2026, tradelytic Aug 2026, propfirm201, benzinga) |
| Automation (EAs, bots) | Allowed through cTrader automation (cBots); PipFarm is cTrader-only |
| Copy trading | Own accounts; manipulating Profitable Day or Consistency metrics with partial closes or hedging is a listed violation |
| Drawdown | Trailing on the balance high-water mark (1-Step Trailing, Instant) or static (1-Step Static, 2-Step Classic); Instant trails on real-time equity and resets after 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 2% open-risk cap instead |
| Consistency | Consistency Score: 50% on challenge accounts, 25% on Instant; Consistency mode lowers targets and earns double XP |
| Minimum days | Profitable Day metrics per mode; Instant needs 3% profit 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| News | Allowed without restrictions (2026 pages); an older review cites a 2-hour window and a 0.2% gap rule, superseded |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 to 80%, 85%, 90% and 95% and shorten the interval from bi-weekly to every 3 days; weekly Friday payouts marketed on some accounts; Payout Protection keeps accrued profit on minor breaches |
| Kill Switch | Trader-activated cTrader tool that locks the account at a daily target or loss |
| Fees | $6 per round lot commission, reducible to $0 via XP |
| Region | United States restricted |
| Instruments | Forex, metals, indices, crypto |

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%.
