Fintokei
Fintokei is a Czech firm that launched in 2023 and has so far managed to stay out of trouble. Hidden rules score is low, pass rate is decent.. and the reviews don't have that suspiciously positive energy that usually means someone's been busy on Trustpilot. Early days though.

Support ignored my tickets
A colleague had a bad experience here and I foolishly did not listen. Their consistency rule is nearly impossible to satisfy in real trading. This review will probably get buried by their affiliate reviewers.— Verified Trader (noor k.) See all reviews
The 3% risk rule is calculated from your stop loss or VaR — whichever is lower. Set your SL before you size your position, not after. If your trading gets flagged for gambling-like behavior, expect restrictions to be added before termination — read what triggers the 40% consistency rule before you hit a strong day that suddenly doesn't count toward your payout.

Fintokei – Trading Conditions
Risk Management — The Core Philosophy
- Maximum risk on open trades: 3%
- Calculated based on: Stop Loss or VaR (Value at Risk), whichever is lower
Most firms say "don't overleverage" and leave the definition somewhere between vague and legally convenient. Fintokei gave you an actual number and an actual calculation method. You can take risk — just don't turn someone else's capital into a personal stress test.
Account Structure Rules
One principle runs through everything here: one trader = one identity = one strategy.
- Multiple profiles → not allowed
- One device shared between multiple users → not allowed
- Paying for someone else's account → not allowed
Simple, clean & remarkably hard to fool around without making it very obvious you're trying to.

Profit Target Logic
- Achieving the entire target in one or a few trades → not allowed
Consistency over lucky spikes. It's the difference between "I got it once" and "I can do it again" — & Fintokei is only interested in funding the second kind of trader.
Tick Scalping Rule
- Defined as: trades opened and closed within 10 seconds
- Over 10% of trades in this category → warning, then potential termination
This isn't about banning speed but about making sure your strategy isn't just "click fast and hope" — which, based on the fact that this rule exists, is apparently more common than it should be.
Strategy & Behavior Restrictions
Not allowed:
- One-sided betting during volatility
- All-in trades
- Account rolling
- Overleveraging without a strategy
Side note: overleveraging with a strategy is apparently fine. Overleveraging without a strategy is where the line gets drawn. The distinction is subtle but the consequences aren't.
IP & Access Rules
- Multiple IPs across different countries → not allowed
- Masking your IP → not allowed
You can travel. You just shouldn't look like five different people doing it simultaneously. The system notices, & "I was on holiday in three countries at once" is not a support ticket category.
Hedging & Trade Structuring
- Hedging across accounts or traders → prohibited
Each account stands on its own merit. No clever balancing tricks between accounts — which is either reassuring or inconvenient, depending on what you were planning.
Consistency Rules — When Things Get Messy
If gambling-like behavior is detected, Fintokei may apply:
- Mandatory Stop Loss usage
- Risk limits per trade & per day
- Daily profit & loss caps
- Reduced leverage
- Max lot exposure limits
- News trading restrictions
- 40% consistency rule for payouts
- Net positive payout requirements
Most firms terminate the account when things go sideways. Fintokei apparently believes in rehabilitation first. Not the most fun feature — but arguably one of the most realistic ones in the industry.

Order Size & Execution
- Maximum order size depends on instrument
- Full details provided transparently before trading
No hidden surprises. You know the limits before you hit them — which is the bare minimum & somehow still not universal in this industry.
Inactivity Rule
- 30 days of inactivity → account inactive
Standard. No unnecessary pressure, no infinite parking & no surprises.
Final Take
Fintokei is one of the few firms where the rules feel like they were written by someone who trades, rather than someone who spent an afternoon copying competitor T&Cs and adding extra restrictions for fun.
Consistent, disciplined, long-term approach — you'll feel comfortable here. Aggressive, shortcut-driven, or convinced that one big trade fixes everything — you'll find out quickly why each of these rules exists. Not to block you, but to make sure you're trading like someone who could do this for a living.
Which, when you think about it, is the whole point.

Cautiously Recommend
Someone in my discord swore these guys pay fast so here we are. the eval took me like 27 trading days total, not fast not slow … just fair. the challenge timer is generous … i never felt rushed into bad trades. their content creators seem to actually trade the product instead of just reading scripts. getting verified for a payout needed an id and a selfie, standard stuff … painless. support answered a dumb question of mine with an actual example instead of a canned reply. verdict: boring in the best possible way.
it grew on me
signed up mostly to test thier platform before committing real focus. teh challenge rules are strict but at least they are written in plain english for once. spreads are fine … nothing crazy, nothing terrible … it is a prop firm not a charity. the verification email came instantly instead of the usual 24 hour wait. the second phase target was lower than phase one which kept me sane. tbh i came in skeptical and i am leaving funded, draw your own conclusions.
support actually replies
Went with the smallest account size to keep the risk low while i learned. i requested a payout three times and all three landed inside the promised window. slippage outside of high impact news is basically a non issue for me. platform was stable the whole time, no random disconnects during news. payouts are biweekly on funded accounts which is way better than the monthly firms. i appreciated that they email you before a rule change instead of springing it. still funded, still profitable, still getting paid, that is the test that matters.
would sign up again
Been trading prop for like two years and i keep coming back to this one. execution during london open is tight enough to scalp if you are into that. idk but consistency rule almost got me once becuase i did not read teh fine print, my bad not theirs. i never had to chase support, they actually closed my ticket the same day. they cap the max lot size which annoyed me at first but it protects you. they paused my consistency tracker when i asked for a couple weeks off, super flexible. not the cheapest, not the flashiest, just reliable, and that is enough.
three payouts deep
So i finally caved and bought a challenge here after months of lurking. i got a small payout bonus for hitting a milestone which was unexpected. tbh i tested teh live acount against the demo with the same setups and it matched. i passed phase one then immediately fumbled phase two before pulling it back in the last week. i will renew when this account runs its course … simple as that.
sticking with them
Switched over when my old firm changed their drawdown rules overnight. the payout actually hit my account in like two days which i did not expect. leverage is reasonable, not the reckless stuff that blows beginners up. they refunded my eval fee when i got funded which was a nice surprise. the consistency rule is generous compared to the firms that cap you hard. i compared them against three others and they had the best balance of price and rules.
mostly good experience
my prop firm group chat would not shut up about them so i caved. support replied way faster than my actual broker which is kinda sad when you think about it. the eval took me like 27 trading days total, not fast not slow … just fair. kyc was painless, uploaded my id and got verified the same afternoon. sticking with them for now … they earned it.
Low Key Impressed
Not gonna lie i went in expecting the worst. their dashboard is genuinely useful, learned stuff about my own trading just looking at it. their economic calendar integration is a small thing but i use it daily. i like that the daily loss limit resets at a sane hour for my timezone. the trailing drawdown is reasonable if you size your positions like an adult. if you treat it like a business and not a casino you will be fine here.
reliable enough
A mentor of mine uses them so i followed his lead. the trailing drawdown is reasonable if you size your positions like an adult. the rules pdf is long but at least nothing is buried in tiny print. support replied way faster than my actual broker which is kinda sad when you think about it. their economic calendar integration is a small thing but i use it daily. reliable, fair, slightly dull, exactly what i wanted.
passed second attempt
Started here as a complete beginner and somehow survived. pricing is not the cheapest but you kind of pay for the peace of mind. first withdrawal i was sweating bullets but it came through clean and on time. i moved up an account tier and the upgrade process took all of five minutes. their server uptime during the last nfp was flawless from where i sat. crypto and wire both supported … i did wire and it hit my bank in two business days.
