The prop-firm copier that keeps you inside the rules

PipSync is built to execute your own trading across your own accounts within your firm's rules — not to hide copier use. Below is what each firm's own policy pages say, with sources and dates, and exactly what we do and do not promise.

Prop firms set their own rules, and they change. This hub summarises each firm's published policy so you can check yours before connecting an account. It is information, not legal advice — the firm's current terms always govern.

What PipSync does
  • Executes your own trading decisions on your own accounts, server-side.
  • Enforces risk guards — sizing, drawdown and daily-loss limits, max open trades — before an order is sent, so you can align them with your firm's limits.
  • Keeps a queryable audit trail of every parsed signal and order, so you can evidence that the trades were your own.
What PipSync does not promise
  • It does not promise you will pass any evaluation or reach any payout.
  • It has no stealth mode and builds no features to hide copier use from a firm.
  • It does not endorse routing third-party signal services into a prop account — that is against most firms' terms.
