Which Fintokei challenge should you choose?

Thinking about joining a prop trading challenge but stuck between multiple programs? We’ve got your back. Let’s break it down and help you find the one that fits your style.

A trader is choosing the right prop trading challenge

Feeling lost in the prop firm trading jungle?

You start browsing prop firm trading options… then boom – rules, charts, programs, and a flood of terms. Decision paralysis hits hard.

But don’t worry. This guide simplifies everything. We’ll walk you through Fintokei’s three core programs and show you:

  • which prop trading challenge is easiest to complete
  • where you can earn the highest payouts

What does Fintokei offer?

Choose from 3 key programs:

🟣 StartTrader – perfect for beginners
🟣 SwiftTrader – fastest way to get to payouts
🟣 ProTrader – serious challenge, big accounts

Each program tests your trading skills differently. The main differences? Risk, reward, and how fast you can get your hands on the capital.

How do prop trading challenges work?

To get access to virtually funded accounts and start earning payouts, you’ll first need to complete the prop trading challenge – an evaluation phase that checks your risk management and consistency. It’s not a trap—it’s a test of skill.

Most traders fail not because of tough rules, but because they pick the wrong challenge for their level.

What to watch out for:

💥 Loss Limits

Every Fintokei challenge includes strict loss limit rules:

  • Max daily loss: 5% (based on balance at 00:00:01 each day)
  • Max total loss: 10% (based on starting balance)

📈 Profit Target
This is the % return you need to move to the next phase. It’s not a race. Sustainable growth is the goal. So take your time, pick your trades.

Time Limit
Minimum 3 trading days per phase to prove consistency. Some programs (like StartTrader) also have a max limit. And others (SwiftTrader) don’t have a time limit at all.

Fintokei programs under the microscope
