Fintokei & swing trading

High volatility makes it tempting to jump in and out of trades fast. You spot an opportunity, take it, and get out quick. Who wouldn’t? No surprise that most of our traders go for scalping or intraday trading. It’s popular—but it’s also time-consuming. And not everyone has the time.

Swing trading works differently. You hold trades for days, weeks, or even months. For scalpers, that sounds insane. But the truth is—it works. And at Fintokei, it works beautifully. 

Why swing trading works at Fintokei

1. No time limits on open positions

We don’t tell you how long to hold your trades. Want to keep a position open over the weekend? Go for it. Some prop firms ban that. We don’t. Just watch out for Monday gaps—set a solid stop loss. Without it, you might hit your daily or total loss limit and lose the account.

2. Profitable days count from the equity (not from closed positions)

To qualify for a payout, you need at least 3 profitable days, each with at least a +0.5% gain.
They don’t have to be in a row. And yep, swing trades count too—your long-running position can make the difference. Perfect for swing traders. This rule applies to both the ProTrader and StartTrader programs.

3. You’ve got time

There’s no countdown pressure. In SwiftTrader, just hit 10% profit, and it’s payout time! No time limit. ProTrader? Phase one = 8% goal. Then, an easier second phase. Again—no time limit. StartTrader is the only one with a time cap, but it’s generous: 180 days. If you’re aiming for 2–10% monthly, that’s more than enough.

Not all swing traders are the same

Swing traders are just as welcome as scalpers or intraday players. But even here, some rules apply.

One lucky home run isn’t enough

Catching one big trend is awesome, but it won’t be enough to pass. We want to see consistency. That you know what you’re doing. If you add a few more solid trades to that big one, no problem—we’ll validate your progress.

All-in with max leverage? Nope.

Going all-in on one massive position and hoping for the best isn’t a strategy—it’s roulette. We’re not here for gamblers. We back real traders. People who manage risk, have a plan, and grow their edge.

Our goal is to help traders level up. To accelerate your journey. But if you’re trading recklessly, with no structure or responsibility, you won’t last here. If you’re serious, ready to grow and shape your own method, this is your place. Your payouts will speak for themselves.

A swing trading program? No need.

There you have it. We don’t need a special “Fintokei SwingTrader” program. Our rules already give you room to win—whether you trade for minutes or for weeks.
