Friday at 4% daily versus Tuesday at 5% daily
PipFarm Classic: 4% daily, static 8% to 10% max, 9% then 6%, three days, $449, higher of at 00:00 UTC. FundingPips Standard: 5%, 10%, 8% then 5%, three days, $399, higher of at 00:00 UTC+3. Minimum days tie at three. Combined target ties at 15%. Daily air and Phase mix do not. Consistency Mode at PipFarm adds 50% consistency. Classic does not. FundingPips Standard has no 50% cap. If you land on Consistency Mode because the site defaulted there, you bought a rule Dubai 2-Step never asked for.
UTC versus UTC+3 means a winner held through midnight UTC has already repriced PipFarm while FundingPips still thinks it is the previous day. US session holds are a Singapore problem first. Flatten PipFarm before 00:00 UTC even if you plan to hold the same ticket into Dubai's later print.
XP news locks versus a 5-minute funded window you get immediately
PipFarm blocks opening or closing inside two minutes of high-impact news until Rank 3+ XP. FundingPips funded uses a 5-minute window from day one of funded. FTMO Swing is still easier than both if news holding is the whole product. Between these two, Dubai gives a known funded window without a rank grind; Singapore makes you earn it. Base split is 70% at PipFarm versus 80% to 100% menus at FundingPips. XP can walk Singapore toward 95%. Friday threshold is 1% to 3% withdrawn.
Endurance 1-Step (3% daily, 6% trail, Kill Switch) is not Classic. FundingPips 1-Step is 4%/6%. Kill Switch on Endurance punishes naked gold. cBots are a PipFarm native plus. TradeLocker is a FundingPips plus. Pick the platform you already run before you pick Friday versus Tuesday.
Who should grind XP, and who should keep $399
Pick PipFarm Classic if Friday cash, cTrader cBots, and XP toward 95% are the brief and you can hit 9% on a 4% daily with stops attached. Pick FundingPips if $399, 8% Phase 1, 5% daily, or TradeLocker/Tuesday is the brief. Do not pick Endurance to "save a phase." Do not pick Consistency Mode if you hate 50% caps. Size 0.40% on PipFarm and 0.50% on FundingPips if you run both.
Singapore 2023 versus Dubai 2022 is young versus young. Friday versus Tuesday is the cash identity. 4% versus 5% is the survival identity. Rank survival above cash if you already blow dailies.
UTC flatten first, then UTC+3
Set Venasri Equity Guard at 3.25% of higher-of on PipFarm with a pre-00:00 UTC flatten above $1,200 float, and 4.25% on FundingPips with pre-00:00 UTC+3 above $1,500. On Endurance, require stops. On Consistency Mode, warn at 48% of target from one day. No lot copy from the 5% book onto the 4% book.
Venasri's free prop firm risk guard closes both if either daily is approached. Prefer PipFarm Classic for Friday and XP. Prefer FundingPips for air and Tuesday. The UTC print will try to decide the pair before Dubai wakes. Let the guard meet that print first.
