Key takeaways

- The Static Max Loss is 8% and the Performance Reward is a fixed 80%.

Fintokei keeps accelerating your trading success
At Fintokei, our goal is clear – to help you make the most of your trading potential. Quickly, safely, and with a healthy dose of excitement. And since every journey starts with a first step, we took a really close look at that very first one.
The result? The new StartTrader. A challenge designed for anyone who's just getting started with prop trading or wants to see how things work at Fintokei – without overly complicated rules and without a high entry price.
What's changed? Pretty much everything
The original StartTrader had three phases. The new one has just one. We lowered the price, added a second chance, and set the conditions so you can focus on trading and learning, not on keeping track of dozens of rules.
The whole new StartTrader is built on three numbers:
1 phase
No working your way through multiple rounds. Complete a single phase – and you're in the virtually funded stage of the program. You have up to 60 days to complete it, with a minimum of 3 trading days.
2 chances
This is the biggest news for beginners. If you exceed the Daily Loss Limit (2% of equity) for the first time during the challenge, your challenge isn't over. Thanks to Soft Breach, trading is simply paused until the next day. Then you can carry on.
So one mistake doesn't have to knock you out. Only a second breach of the Daily Loss Limit ends the challenge.
3% Profit Target
A target that's realistic even for traders at the start of their journey. On an account with $5,000 in virtual capital, that means reaching a profit of $150.
On top of that:
- 8% Static Max Loss – the limit doesn't move, so you always know exactly where it is.
- Fixed 80% Performance Reward – you get 80% of every profit you make.
Count to three. Then get started.
The new StartTrader is designed to make your first step into prop trading simple, accessible, and stress-free. One phase, two chances, and a 3% Profit Target. The rest is up to you.
No Daily Profit Cap
This is the change you've been asking for. No more daily limit on your profit. When you have a great day, nothing holds you back, and all of your profit counts toward your Profit Target.
Fintokei's most accessible challenge
The new StartTrader costs $34. It's our most accessible challenge and one of the most accessible challenges on the market.
And it gets even better. You can combine StartTrader with the discount code NEW20. That brings your first StartTrader challenge down to an unbeatable $27.

What to keep in mind
We play fair, so we'll tell you upfront what makes StartTrader different from our other programs.
Rewards are capped at $400
On one StartTrader account, you can earn up to $400 in rewards in total. That's 80% of a 10% profit. You can withdraw your reward all at once or in two payouts.
Why the cap? StartTrader isn't the final destination. It's a springboard designed to give you the confidence and know-how to take on more demanding challenges like ProTrader or SwiftTrader. If you make it all the way to payouts on StartTrader, that's a clear sign you're ready for more – and that it's time to move up.
StartTrader is only for your first 2 challenges
StartTrader is a starter program. You can only buy it as one of your first two challenges at Fintokei.
If you don't see it when you go to buy a challenge, it means you've already started two other challenges with us. And in that case, you don't really need StartTrader – you've already taken your first step.
