Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • 80% profit split with a 4th-withdrawal performance-fee bonus. Two payout methods: Bi-Weekly (every 14 days, $100 min) or On-Demand (request anytime once the consistency and 2% profit thresholds are met). Hedging and stacking allowed within one account. Risk-management EAs permitted on MT5. Weekend/overnight holding allowed on Swing, One and Three plans and during Pro evaluation phases.
  • Three evaluation routes (1-Step, 2-Step and Instant Funding) across six account sizes from $5,000 to $200,000, with no maximum trading-day limit on any program. Reward split starts at 85% on the 1-Step route and reaches 100% from the third scale-up; the scaling plan raises the account 30% every three months with no stated upper balance limit. Minimum trading days are 3 on the evaluation routes. The program fee is stated as 100% refundable, returned with the first payout, and the minimum withdrawal is $100 with payouts processed in 1-2 business days. Expert Advisors, scalping, hedging within a single account, weekend holding and overnight holding are all permitted per the public rules page, and news trading is unrestricted during evaluation.
Main Drawbacks
  • Weekend holding triggers a soft breach (profit removal) on Pro funded (Qualified Analyst) accounts. EAs limited to risk-management tools only - no fully automated strategies, HFT or latency arbitrage (immediate account closure). Cross-account hedging and group trading with identical EAs are prohibited. On-demand payouts require passing the 40% Best Day consistency rule plus a minimum 2% gross profit.
  • XPIPS publishes THREE mutually inconsistent versions of its own risk rules: the catalog API's display strings say a flat 3% daily / 6% maximum loss on every program, the same API's numeric risk configuration says 1-Step 7% overall with a 4% trailing component, 2-Step 4% daily / 10% overall and Instant 6% overall with a 3% trailing component, while the public /trading-rules page states 1-Step 4% daily / 6% max / 10% target / 5 minimum days / 80% split against the catalog's 9% target, 3 minimum days and 85% split. Because the three disagree, the per-plan daily-loss limits are left blank on this page rather than guessed. TrustPilot stands at 3.0 from 286 reviews with recent reviews dominated by rejected payouts citing the 30% consistency rule and lot-size consistency, and by repeated broker/server migrations that traders say breached their accounts; the firm replied to only 4% of negative reviews. Hedging is a direct contradiction in itself - the public rules page calls hedging within the same account allowed while the help centre lists it under prohibited practices punishable by immediate disqualification. The named leadership team on /about-us carries no independent corroboration and one card is captioned 'BJames Carter', and the contact page has previously carried a placeholder phone number. Payouts are crypto-only per the help centre, and the maximum simulated capital is stated as $400,000 on the homepage but $300,000 at checkout. Because of that contradiction the six 1-Step plans ($5,000 to $200,000, $59 to $1,019) are deliberately NOT listed on this page: their maximum drawdown is 6% on the public rules page and 7% in the firm's own catalog configuration, and we do not publish a figure we cannot pin to a single source.
