Account passing services

Someone else cannot trade your account

Introduction

Your PipFarm account must be traded by you, using your strategy and decisions. Using third-party services, such as signal providers, account passers, or group trading setups, is not allowed.

ℹ️ If you’re unsure whether something counts as account management or group trading, feel free to reach out to support for clarification.

What’s not allowed

We do not allow any form of:

  • 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 funded account stage on your behalf.

  • Group trading: Traders taking identical or highly correlated trades from 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 done manually.

  • Shared/Purchased Automated Strategies: Automated strategies or bots that are purchased and used by multiple traders (i.e., shared commercial systems) are not permitted.

How we detect this

We assess trading behaviour using pattern detection, including (but not limited to):

  • Timing of entries

  • Symbols traded

  • Lot sizes

  • Stop loss and take profit levels

  • Trade frequency and risk style

  • Correlation to flagged accounts

A few similarities may be coincidental, but consistent and repeated patterns over time are taken seriously.

Why this matters

Our goal is to reward skilled traders who are using their own ideas to trade sustainably. Allowing passing services or account managers would:

  • Undermine the integrity of our platform

  • Skew evaluation results

  • Introduce serious risk to the business model

What happens if I break this rule?

We use both manual and automated systems to detect group trading behaviour across accounts. If we detect account hedging, we may take the following actions:

  • Initiate Enhanced Verification or Performance Reviews

  • Reset your account or challenge

  • Remove illegitimate profit

  • Disqualify your account

  • Restrict future purchases
