| Risk & Drawdown Rules | ||
| Max Daily Loss | Maximum Daily LossFunded7 applies different daily loss limits by challenge type: 4% for One-Phase, and 5% for Two-Phase, Two-Phase NEO, and Instant Funding. The daily loss is calculated from the day's starting equity and includes both closed trades and floating P/L. Breaching this limit results in account failure. | Maximum Daily LossPipFarm’s Max Daily Loss rule is calculated as a percentage of the previous end-of-day (EOD) balance. By default, the daily loss limit is 3% of the previous EOD balance and is recalculated when the previous EOD balance changes. PipFarm states the EOD is calculated in the dashboard around 22:05 GMT (winter) or 21:05 GMT (US daylight savings). PipFarm also states traders may increase the daily loss limit to 4% after achieving Rank 4 in its Experience Programs. |
| Max Total Loss | Maximum LossFunded7 applies different overall loss limits: 8% for One-Phase (static from initial balance), 10% for Two-Phase and Two-Phase NEO (static from initial balance), and 6% for Instant Funding (static). All drawdown calculations are balance-based and include floating P/L. Breaching this limit results in account failure. | Maximum Overall LossPipFarm offers different maximum-loss models depending on program selection. For Static Max Loss, PipFarm states the one-stage program uses a 6% Static Max Loss of starting balance, while the two-stage program uses a 9% Static Max Loss of starting balance. For the one-stage program, PipFarm also offers a Trailing Maximum Loss option which tracks a high watermark (balance-based) and is 9% of the high watermark balance (10% if Rank 2 or higher). |
| Drawdown Type | Drawdown ModelFunded7 uses a static (balance-based) drawdown model across all challenge types. The maximum loss limit is fixed from the initial account balance and does not trail with equity. On funded accounts, a High Water Mark applies. Both closed trades and floating P/L are included in calculations. | Drawdown ModelPipFarm’s public rules describe multiple drawdown frameworks, including: (1) a Static Max Loss (fixed percentage of starting balance), (2) a balance-based Trailing Max Loss (tracks the high watermark of account balance), and (3) an equity-based trailing max drawdown rule (high-watermark equity-based), as described in PipFarm’s Terms. |

| Trading Permissions | ||
| News Trading | News trading is allowed at Funded7. Traders can trade before, during, and after high-impact news releases for all challenge types and funded accounts. However, Funded7 advises trading news responsibly — excessive risk-taking around major releases that breaches daily or total loss limits will still result in account failure. | PipFarm’s marketing materials state it allows news trading and that it does not dictate how users should trade. PipFarm’s Terms also prohibit exploitative trading strategies (including “news straddling”). |
| Weekend Trades | Weekend holding is fully allowed at Funded7. Traders can hold positions over the weekend without restrictions for all challenge types and funded accounts. There are no requirements to close positions before market close. | N/A |

This includes automated copy trading services, 'pass my challenge' schemes, signal services, copy-trade platforms, and any trading that results in identical entries across multiple accounts. Reverse copy trading is also banned. | PipFarm’s Terms list copy-trading/managed-account services (e.g., MQL5 or ZuluTrade) as prohibited trading practices, and also prohibit trading on behalf of others or having others trade on your behalf. |
| EA Allowed | EAs are allowed at Funded7, provided the strategy is legitimate and does not exploit system mechanics. However, the following are prohibited: ready-made EAs that result in identical entries for all users, EAs that overload servers with excessive requests, and any automated trading that bypasses the purpose of skill evaluation. | PipFarm’s Terms prohibit using a commercial trading robot purchased from a third party without any adjustment to strategy. |
| KYC & Restrictions | ||
| KYC Required | No | No |
| KYC Stage | Funded7 requires KYC verification before the first payout. Documents are submitted via email to support. Required documents typically include government-issued ID and proof of address. KYC is not required to purchase a challenge or start trading – only when requesting the first withdrawal. | PipFarm’s Terms state that to participate in the Remote Trader Program, the user must pass an ID verification process after passing a Trading Challenge for the first time. PipFarm states verification is completed via ComplyCube or Veriff and may require an identity document, a selfie, and (in some cases) proof of address, questionnaires, or a video call. |
