Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • Up to 100% profit share. No time limit on challenges. Free CTI Academy access with every program. Funded accounts scale up to $4M.
  • No daily drawdown limit and no trailing drawdown on any challenge model, on both the Classic and Pips Mastery programmes. 12% absolute maximum loss on Pipcy Classic, one of the widest overall loss limits published in the sector. Reward Payments are processed within 48 hours and the profit split reaches up to 95% through a nine-level Growth Plan that scales a funded account to $3,000,000 with no scaling fees. News trading, overnight holding and weekend holding are all permitted on every Challenge and funded account. Entry prices start at $21 and a WELCOME50 code takes 50% off a first challenge; a free trial is available before purchase. MetaTrader 5 plus an in-house Pipcy Trading Platform, a Swap-Free option, and zero commission on cryptocurrencies, indices and commodities.
Main Drawbacks
  • No 3-Step challenge option (only 1-Step, 2-Step, and Instant Funding are offered). Instant Funding Pro tier requires a $5,000 minimum starting balance.
  • Pipcy states plainly that it is not regulated by the FCA, ASIC or CySEC. The profit split STARTS at 50%: the advertised 95% is the ninth Growth Plan level, and each scale-up requires 25% accumulated profit left in the account plus at least 90 calendar days. No withdrawal method is published anywhere on the site: payouts are described only as going to your selected payment method. Pipcy's own blog comparison table says news trading is Not permitted on Pipcy Classic, contradicting its FAQ, its Terms of Service and its own pricing table, all of which say it is allowed. A trader may hold a maximum of three open positions in the same direction on the same asset, an account-ending rule that two TrustPilot reviewers say they only found after their challenge was closed. Only 1 funded account and 3 challenge accounts are permitted per trader, and fees are non-refundable once simulated trading starts. The TrustPilot profile carries only 42 reviews in total, so there is little long-run payout evidence, and no incorporation or launch date is published anywhere on the site.
