Why trust us
Why traders trust Pipster
Built by people who have done this before
Our team comes from Morgan Stanley, UBS, RBC, and State Street. We have managed institutional capital, built trading infrastructure, and designed risk frameworks. This is not a side project. It is what we do.
UK-registered and transparent
Pipster is operated by a UK-registered company based in London. We are not anonymous, we are not offshore, and we are not going anywhere.
Traders from 170+ countries
Pipster is already used by traders across more than 170 countries, and over a thousand of them have competed in our seasons so far.
Why are we giving this away for free?
Competitions are how we find traders worth funding. Every trader who proves themselves here is someone we want to back with real capital. We are not selling you anything. We are scouting you.
