Account passing services
Why account passing, group trading, and third-party trading services are prohibited
Your PipFarm account must be traded by you, using your own strategy and decisions. Using third-party services to trade your account, pass your challenge, or coordinate trades with other traders is prohibited.
ℹ️ If you're unsure whether something counts as account management or group trading, contact support for clarification before proceeding.
What is not allowed
Account management services
You cannot give your login or copy-trading access to someone else to trade on your behalf.
Passing services
Paying someone to complete your challenge or simulated funded account stage on your behalf is prohibited.
Group trading
Traders taking identical or highly correlated trades — with the same entry, size, and risk — as part of a coordinated effort relative to their account size.
Signal-following behaviour
If your trading closely mirrors a known signal group or other accounts, your account may be flagged, even if trades are placed manually.
Shared or purchased automated strategies
Automated strategies or bots that are purchased from marketplaces and used by multiple traders are not permitted. Your strategy must be your own.
How is this detected
PipFarm assesses trading behaviour using pattern detection, including, but not limited to, timing of entries, symbols traded, lot sizes, trade frequency and risk style, and correlation with flagged accounts.
A few similarities may be coincidental, but consistent and repeated patterns over time are taken seriously.
Why this matters
PipFarm's goal is to reward skilled traders who use their own ideas to trade sustainably. Allowing passing services or account managers to operate would undermine the platform's integrity, skew evaluation results, and pose a serious risk to the business model.
What happens if this rule is broken?
PipFarm uses both manual and automated systems to detect these behaviours across accounts. If prohibited activity is detected, PipFarm may take one or more of the following actions:
Initiate Enhanced Verification or Performance Reviews
Remove profit gained through prohibited activity
Terminate the account
Restrict future purchases
