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
