Held at Fiera Roma from 2 to 5 November, the event brought together brokers, liquidity providers, payment companies, affiliates, and prop trading firms from across the global trading industry. Pipcy exhibited throughout the four days, and its Head of Risk and Consulting, Snir Ahiel, was a featured speaker on the conference program.
FX.world is the forex and fintech show of the SiGMA World Group. According to the organizer, the 2026 edition attracted more than 30,000 delegates, 1,000 exhibitors, and 300 speakers. Exhibitors included XM, Libertex, eToro, Swissquote, and ATFX, alongside a significant presence of prop trading firms. Pipcy was listed among the event’s partners together with XM, Libertex, ATFX, and B2Broker.
Exhibition Presence
Pipcy’s stand was led by the firm’s senior leadership for the full duration of the event, with founder and Chief Executive Officer Omer Ben Matityahu and Head of Risk and Consulting Snir Ahiel both in attendance. The company reports consistent engagement from traders, affiliates, technology providers, and media, with discussions covering Pipcy’s challenge rules, its affiliate program, and potential collaborations.
Commenting on the outcome, Ahiel said, “The conference was great, very insightful, I met my former partner from The5ers, and it was a reminder of how far this industry has come from where a few of us started it. It was good to meet so many people, create connections, and see where this industry is going.”
For a firm whose growth depends on reaching traders across many markets, the relationships formed with affiliates, introducing brokers, and technology partners during the event are expected to support Pipcy’s expansion plans over the coming quarters.
Conference Participation
On 4 November, Mr. Snir Ahiel joined the panel “The Prop Trading Firms Roadmap: Tech, Growth, and Cross-Border Challenges” on the Global Finance Stage. The session followed a keynote on the growing role of prop firms within the trading ecosystem and brought together Ahiel, Ruben Abitbol of RUBIK, Gil Ben Hur of 5% Group, Lubomir Marasi of Axcera, Serhii Poplavskyi of Match-Prop, and Sam Bradbury of Quant Technology Group. The panel addressed technology, international expansion, regulatory developments, and sustainable growth in the prop trading sector, including the question posed by the agenda: are prop firms the next regulatory target?
FX.world’s recap of the session, published on the event’s official Instagram account, acknowledged the six speakers by name and listed Ahiel as Head of Risk and Consulting at Pipcy.
Ahiel brings more than fifteen years of experience trading forex, stocks, and options. He co-founded The5ers, which was named Best Prop Trading Firm at the FX.world awards on 3 November, and now oversees risk at Pipcy, where trading conditions include a 12% static maximum loss on the Classic Challenge, a 250-pip maximum loss on the pip-based Pips Mastery Challenge, no daily drawdown on any account, and permission to trade through news events.
