Starting now at Fintokei: Fewer rules, more freedom for your trading!

A new chapter begins at Fintokei - six weeks, six major upgrades. Each one targets a different aspect of trading. The goal? To make Fintokei the best prop trading platform on the market! And we’re kicking things off strong — by simplifying the rules.

experience. But they all have one common goal – to make Fintokei a place where things move fast. Where you can grow. Where nothing slows down your success. Every week, you can expect an article like this one. Always a new upgrade. Six weeks, six reasons to be with Fintokei.

Gamechanger upgrade #1: Fewer rules, more freedom!

Before you push any machine to full speed, you need to release the brakes. That’s why our very first “gamechanger upgrade” is removing two rules and simplifying the third. Three things that have so far been part of trading with Fintokei.

But here’s the thing — we don’t believe in setting rules and never looking back. We monitor data, study trader behavior, and continuously evaluate what works and what doesn’t.

Just like we expect traders to improve their strategy, we improve our product. And if something made sense before but doesn’t anymore, we let it go.

This is one of those moments.

So what are we removing?

➡️ Rule #1: Minimum of 3 profitable days in ProTrader

Want to pass the ProTrader challenge or request a payout? Until now, we’ve asked to see at least 3 days with 0.5% profit. They didn’t have to be consecutive, and it could be just one swing position gradually growing over several days — but still…

It pushed traders into certain types of performances that didn’t always suit them. Aggressive scalpers didn’t mind. But more conservative traders? They had to jump through flaming hoops just to succeed.

On top of that, this rule was often misunderstood. We want Fintokei to be fast and transparent. A place where traders can truly show what they’re capable of. Not a place where you have to read the rules like a novel.

So: The 3-profit-day rule is removed effective immediately.
And that applies to all challenges and all virtually funded accounts — both current and new.
It will be replaced by a simpler rule: minimum of 3 trading days.

➡️ Martingale is no longer a banned practice

The second change is also pretty significant. Martingale — aggressive averaging — is no longer banned. Yes, you read that right.

It’s true, we’re still not huge fans of martingale. But we want to give you the freedom to use a wider range of strategies — whether conservative or more aggressive. Also, this rule was quite complex and led to a lot of questions. That’s why we’ve decided to remove it entirely.

Each program already has enough rules that promote responsible trading. Trading is about numbers. About calculations. About strategy. And if you’ve done the math and it works for you, then go for it! Show us what you’ve got.

Of course, as long as you stay within your daily and maximum loss limits.

➡️ Easing up on the definition of tick scalping and its penalties

We’ve also decided to ease up a bit on how we handle one of the forbidden practices — tick scalping. It still puts pressure on our servers, and we still prohibit it. But from now on, we’ll be more lenient in how we define it and how we deal with it.

BeforeFrom now on
A tick scalp is any trade shorter than 15 secondsA tick scalp is any trade shorter than 10 seconds
More than 50% of your trades = tick scalping → Account terminationMore than 50% of your trades = tick scalping → Warning before account termination ⚠️

F as in Fintokei and F as in flexibility 💜

This first upgrade and rule simplification isn’t just a random move. It’s a continuation of what we’ve been doing all along. Fintokei offers the most flexibility on the market. Let’s remind ourselves of a few things:

You can trade during news events
No restrictions, no special account required. On all programs — whether you’re in a challenge or on a virtually funded account — it’s your strategy, your ride.

No limits on payout size or trade size
Our record payouts so far? $132,000 last year, $69,000 this year.
Think you can beat that? Let’s go!
Or do you prefer smaller but regular payouts? Even better.

Robots are welcome
As long as you’re not just pushing a button and letting the robot do it all, we’re totally fine with it.
Your robot, your responsibility — and your freedom.
