Prop-firm and challenge accounts

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.

Check your firm's rules on copy trading and automated execution before you start. Some allow it outright, some ban copying the same signals as other funded traders. Being right about the software does not help if the payout is refused.

Mapping firm rules to PipSync settings

Firm rule	Set this
Daily loss limit	Daily drawdown limit, at roughly 60% of the firm's number, so a single bad fill cannot cross it.
Total drawdown	Max total drawdown on the account, again with headroom.
Max lot / position size	Max lot size per trade.
Weekend or news restrictions	Trading-hours window and news blackout on every linked channel.
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.

Set your limit below theirs — a breach at your limit is a pause, a breach at theirs is a dead account.
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.
