Prop-firm and challenge accounts
Run PipSync on a funded or challenge account without tripping daily loss, total drawdown or consistency rules. The optional Max Daily Loss stops new copied trades for the day; total drawdown and consistency still come down to your sizing.
Connecting one
Prop firms hand you a normal platform login — MetaTrader, cTrader or Match-Trader. Connect it exactly like any other account. What changes is the risk configuration, not the connection.
Mapping firm rules to PipSync settings
| Firm rule | What to use |
|---|---|
| Daily loss limit | Max Daily Loss (Settings → Trading or Trading Hub → Risk Settings), switched on: once the account's equity is that far below its level at 00:00 UTC, new copied trades on it are refused until 00:00 UTC. Open positions are not closed. Set it below the firm's limit: the firm's day and the way it measures can differ (see Drawdown protection). |
| Total drawdown | Same: nothing automatic. Keep Risk per trade (%) low and monitor the account. |
| Max lot / position size | Max Lots, set per channel under Channels → your channel → Settings → Auto-trade → Position Sizing. |
| Max number of open trades | Max Open Positions (Settings → Trading). |
| Weekend or news restrictions | The channel's Trading sessions (Signal filters) refuse new signals outside the Asia, Europe or US session you tick (fixed UTC hours). There is no news blackout and no weekend rule: for those, use Disable auto-trading on the channel yourself. |
| Consistency rule | Lower Risk per trade (%) so no single day dominates the profit curve. |
Why you leave headroom
The firm measures on their server, in their timezone, including swap and commission. You measure on yours. Those two numbers are never identical, and the gap is widest exactly when the market moves fastest.
- Choose a risk per trade at which a run of losing trades still leaves a clear gap to the firm's limit — PipSync will not stop at a limit for you.
- Remember the daily reset time is the firm's server time, not yours.
- Floating loss counts at most firms. A position left open over the reset can breach the next day's limit before you wake up.
Several challenges at once
Linking one source to several challenge accounts is supported and each account sizes independently. Understand what it means though: identical entries across accounts means identical drawdown across accounts. Correlation is not diversification.
