How do Fintokei Stars trade?

Swing, intraday, or scalping. In this article, we introduce you to four Fintokei Stars who’ve successfully reached their payouts. Each of them has a different style, but they all share one thing – clarity. They focus on simplicity, discipline, and trusting their own system.

Sebastián: stress-free swing trading

Account: ProTrader 100k EUR, ProTrader 10k EUR
Style: Swing
Payouts: 7+ 

Sebastián is a fan of swing trading – meaning he holds positions for several days. He doesn’t rush into trades. He waits patiently for the price to reach his zone before entering. This style is time-efficient and doesn’t require super precise entries. But keeping a trade open for days can be nerve-racking. Sebastián handles it like a pro.

🔍 He uses a method called Top/Down analysis – that means he first looks at a higher timeframe (e.g. daily or 4-hour chart) to identify the overall market direction. Then he switches to a lower timeframe (e.g. 1-hour chart) to spot exact entry signals.

📈 He looks for simple price patterns (like double bottoms or trendlines) that suggest a higher probability of success.

🎯 Once the price reaches his level:

  • He waits for confirmation
  • Sets Take Profit (target profit) and Stop Loss (maximum acceptable loss)
  • Then lets the trade run on its own

💡 Sebastián says one trade a week is enough – for example, 2 lots per trade. He aims for 1–2% profit per entry. He mostly trades Forex, where swing strategies work well due to strong long-term trends.

Kacper:  trading with the trend

Account: ProTrader 100k EUR, ProTrader 50k EUR
Style: Intraday
Payouts: 10+

Kacper is a trend trader. That means he identifies the market trend and trades in its direction – never against it. He trades the DAX, a German stock index, on a short timeframe (5-minute chart).

📈 He uses moving averages – these show the average price over a period of time and help indicate whether the market is rising or falling.

For example:

  • If the price is above the moving average → the market is rising → Kacper goes long
  • If the price is below the moving average → the market is falling → Kacper goes short

🛠️ His approach:

  • He watches for price pullbacks to the moving average
  • Enters when the price bounces back in the trend direction
  • Places the stop loss just below that level
  • Takes profit once the price breaks the previous high

📊 His win rate is around 40%, but since he sticks to his trading plan and risks no more than 1% per trade, he stays profitable long term.

Kamil M.: intraday with military precision

Account: ProTrader 100k EUR, ProTrader 100k USD
Style: Intraday
Payouts: 2+

Kamil is an intraday trader – meaning all his trades are opened and closed within the same day. He’s quick and precise.

🧠 His foundation is technical analysis – he reads the market through charts and indicators, not news headlines.
He relies on:

  • Bollinger Bands (they help him identify when the market is overbought or oversold)
  • Moving averages on different timeframes

🎯 One of his most important tools is Initial Balance Levels (IB or IBM5) – the first 5 minutes (or first hour) after the market opens.

Here’s how he uses them:

  • If he sees a bullish structure (like a bullish engulfing candle) during that time, he only trades long
  • If the market opens with a visible gap (a price jump), he trades in the direction of the gap

💡 Kamil risks only 0.5% of his account per trade. Once he makes a profit, he continues trading with the money he already earned.
In one trade, he made 3% profit in a single session – clean, sharp, and without any significant drawdown.

Kamil S.: scalping with intuition

Account: 2x ProTrader 200k EUR
Style: Scalping
Payouts: 7+

Kamil S. is a scalper – meaning he holds trades for just a few minutes. He focuses on tiny movements on the smallest timeframes (M1, M5) and enters when the price reacts quickly to a key level.

🧠 Before he enters a trade, he checks higher timeframes (like H1) to locate strong levels such as:

  • Fibonacci retracements
  • Highs/lows from the previous day or hour

📊 Once the price moves 20–30 points in his favor, he creates a “profit cushion” – which allows him to either hold longer or increase his position without additional risk.💥 He’s conservative – risking only 0.5–1% of his capital, even on strong setups.
He prefers trading early mornings during the DAX open, when the market is most active.
