Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • Three programs (Instant, 1-Step, 2-Step). Up to $150,000 simulated capital. 80% profit split scaling to 100%. Weekly payouts within 24h. Available in 190+ countries. MT5, Match Trader and TradingView. NYS Academy education + Smart Journal + NYS GPT. Premium Programme scaling to $2M. Spin & Trade reward feature.
  • 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
  • Instant program enforces 15% consistency rule and 1% max open risk. 2-Step required reaching 8% then 5% with tight risk caps. Founders/UBO not publicly listed. Saint Lucia tech entity (NYS Markets Ltd) + Hong Kong operator (NYS Corp Limited) — offshore structure, unregulated.
  • 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.
