| Risk & Drawdown Rules | ||
| Max Daily Loss | Maximum Daily LossFXIFY's daily drawdown limits are program-specific. FXIFY provides examples showing One Phase uses a 3% daily drawdown, while Two Phase uses a 4% daily drawdown. Daily drawdown is monitored alongside max drawdown thresholds, and traders should plan withdrawals and risk so that intraday equity does not breach the daily limit. | 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 Overall LossFXIFY provides examples showing One Phase accounts use a 6% max drawdown and Two Phase accounts use a 10% max drawdown. For Three Phase, FXIFY describes a static drawdown option where max drawdown is set at 5% and remains static for the life of the account. | 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 ModelFXIFY supports both trailing-style drawdown mechanics and an optional static drawdown mode (notably for 2-Phase and 3-Phase). FXIFY also explains that on 1- and 2-Phase accounts, when a withdrawal is requested, the max drawdown “locks” at the starting balance, meaning profit withdrawals reduce the buffer created by gains and can increase breach risk if no buffer remains. | 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. |
| Payouts | ||
| Payout Frequency | Payout FrequencyInstant Funding: FXIFY states Instant Funding accounts offer payouts every 14 days. Evaluation programs (1-Phase, 2-Phase, 3-Phase): FXIFY states the first payout is instant and on demand, processed right after the trader's first live trade in the funded account. | Payout FrequencyBy default, PipFarm schedules and processes payouts automatically on the first Friday of each month. Optional payout-frequency add-ons are available: Bi-weekly (1st and 3rd Friday of each month, +10%) and Weekly (every Friday, +25%). |

| KYC & Restrictions | ||
| KYC Required | Yes | No |
| KYC Stage | KYC is required as part of FXIFY's AML/KYC compliance process before traders can fully access withdrawals/performance fees. If a trader cannot pass KYC, FXIFY's policy explains this impacts their ability to proceed under the program's compliance requirements. | 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. |
