A trader shared an email from PipFarm’s Risk Team requesting a brief screen recording of their FundingPips dashboard. The email asks for:

  • Trading history from the four most recent accounts

  • The timezone displayed on the dashboard

This is in line with PipFarm’s terms (clause 8.3), which allow them to request trading statements or documentation from previous or current proprietary trading firms or brokers the trader has used.

Key Takeaways

  1. Traders must provide detailed trading proof, potentially exposing strategies, trade size, frequency, and performance.

  2. PipFarm is using its T&C to verify affiliations with other firms like FundingPips.

  3. While positioned as standard verification, many see this as an invasive practice—prompting questions about how much external data prop firms should demand.

Community Reaction

Many traders responded sharply on social media, calling PipFarm's request excessive and accusing the firm of overreach.


The Debate: Legit Security Step or Overreach?

PipFarm’s Perspective:

They claim these checks ensure transparency and prevent fraud or system abuse, citing their contractual rights.

Traders’ Perspective:

Many believe their trading history and strategy from other firms should remain private, raising issues of privacy, fairness, and the data imbalance between prop firms and traders.

What Traders Should Do

  • Review your agreements thoroughly to understand verification clauses.

  • Ask for clarity on what data will be accessed and how it will be used or stored.

  • Raise concerns as a group—collective feedback might lead to policy adjustments.

As discussions unfold, one thing is clear: demands for cross-firm transparency are rising—but so are privacy and fairness concerns.

What’s your take? Is this standard due diligence, or an overreach?
