Classic, Consistency, Endurance, and the XP ladder
Classic 2-Step: 4% daily, static 8% to 10% max, 9% then 6% targets, three days, no 50% consistency rule. Consistency Mode: same targets with a 50% best-day style rule. 1-Step Endurance: 3% daily, 6% trailing max, plus a Kill Switch / single-trade risk limit that bites on gold and indices if you skip a pre-set stop. Reset is 00:00 UTC, not CE(S)T and not Dubai. Split starts at 70% and climbs with XP Rank toward 95%. Weekly Friday payouts once you clear a 1% to 3% withdrawal threshold. $100K fee is $449. Platforms: cTrader, Match-Trader, MT5. cBots and MT5 EAs allowed if they do not exploit tick latency or copy public signals.
9% and 6% are not 8% and 5% with extra branding
Phase 1 at 9% ($9,000 on $100K) and Phase 2 at 6% ($6,000) is a longer combined 15% of targets with only a 4% daily hole ($4,000). That is a grind. Five 1% days still leave Phase 1 unfinished. Plan 12 to 20 ideas at 0.35% to 0.50% rather than hunting 9% in a week of gold. Consistency Mode makes a fat day expensive: 50% of total profit in one session forces extra target dollars, similar in spirit to Topstep's 50% cap though PipFarm is a CFD shop.
Friday payouts need a 1% to 3% threshold. You can be funded and still skip a Friday because the week only made 0.6%. That is a feature if you size small. It is a frustration if you came for weekly cash and then farmed XP with tiny scratching that never clears 1%. Rank perks (news, weekends, 95% split) accrue on survival, not on scratching.
Endurance Kill Switch versus Classic static room
PipFarm's primary trap is violating the Kill Switch / single-trade risk limit on Endurance when holding volatile gold or index trades without a pre-set stop-loss. Classic static 8% to 10% will not save an Endurance account. If you like naked discretionary gold, buy Classic and attach stops anyway. If you bought Endurance for the 1-Step skip, pre-set the stop so the Kill Switch never has to.
Public signal copy and tick latency games fail even when 4% daily is green. 2,000 messages still apply. Rank 3 news rights are earned. Until then, the 2-minute window is law. Do not trade PipFarm like a no-news-ban crypto desk just because Friday payday feels casual.
UTC guard, Kill Switch SL, rank-aware news
Set Venasri Equity Guard near $3,250 daily on Classic $100K (4% line is $4,000) and near $2,250 on Endurance (3% daily). Force a hard Stop-Loss on every Endurance fill so the Kill Switch is redundant. Use the ZeroMQ MT5 Bridge even if you also run cTrader, so MT5 PipFarm books share the same 00:00 UTC poll.
24/7 MT5 Bot Control should block news-window entries until Rank 3 is actually on the account, cap Consistency Mode days so one session cannot print 50% of the target, and halt at 1,800 messages. Friday withdrawals are the prize for living through a 9% Phase 1 with a 4% daily hole, not a reason to shove size on Thursday night.
