At Fintokei, we want you to succeed—and we're here to support strategies that can actually grow into something real.
But to keep the platform safe and fair, we monitor for behaviors that break our rules, manipulate the system, exceed allowed risk guardrails or show potentially unsustainable patterns.
If any of these are detected, we follow a transparent and structured process.
You'll always know what's happening, why, and what your options are.
⚠️ What kind of behavior triggers restrictions?
We constantly monitor the accounts for things like:
🚫 Prohibited trading practices (e.g. tick scalping, latency arbitrage)
🎰 Gambling-style behavior (e.g. exceeding the maximum risk on open trades, overleveraging, attempting to pass with one all-in trade) )
🌪️ Unsustainable trading patterns (e.g. results relying on a few high-impact days or trade ideas, excessive volatility of returns, repeated breaches and net losses across virtually funded accounts, or trading similar to randomness) ****
🤥 System abuse (e.g. hedging across accounts, forbidden copy trading, KYC/payment method manipulation)
Each of these has a different severity level, and we respond accordingly.
🔎 What exactly will happen if we identify any of the prohibited, gambling or potentially unsustainable practices?
Our approach is gradual, and every case is reviewed individually by our team — no measure is applied automatically. Depending on the seriousness of the situation, some steps may be combined or skipped:
1. Notification / warnings — we let you know what our review noticed and how to adjust. Exceeding the Individual Account rule (such as the maximum risk on open trades) results in warnings.
2. Risk reduction request — we may ask you to reduce your maximum risk on open trades and keep it within 1% (instead of the standard 3%) — a fair opportunity to adjust your approach.
3. Consistency Rules — applied in two levels, matched to the seriousness of the situation; they may include a reduction of the Performance Reward ratio, a leverage reduction, or a daily profit cap. The exact composition of each level is described here → [Consistency Rules — most common application].
4. Termination — only as a last resort, in the most serious or repeatedly continued cases, according to the applicable Terms and Conditions.
🚫 What happens if the problematic behavior continues?
In general, if you continue trading in the same high-risk or potentially unsustainable way, even after we gave you a warning or applied the Consistency Rules:
Consistency Rules may be escalated to the second level
You may be restricted from purchasing new Evaluation programs
Or in extreme cases and after multiple warnings have been sent, your profile and our cooperation may be terminated from the platform, according to the applicable general Terms and Conditions.
We only want to work with traders who respect the framework and aim to improve.
🤥 What will happen if we identify System abuse?
System abuse covers attempts to manipulate the platform's structure rather than the market — faked identity, duplicate profiles, hedging across accounts, shared devices, or payment irregularities. Because these directly undermine a fair environment for every trader, we act firmly. The exact response depends on the type of abuse and whether it's a first occurrence or a repeat.
Acted on immediately (no warning):
Duplicate profiles / faked identity — one person opening multiple profiles, or misrepresenting their identity: we close the duplicate profile, with no refund on it. Your original (first) account stays untouched.
Hedging across accounts — holding offsetting positions across multiple accounts, whether inside Fintokei or with another provider: we terminate all accounts and profiles involved, with no refund and no re-entry.
Warning first, then escalation:
Shared device or multiple IPs, or an unauthorized third-party payment (someone else pays for your challenge): on the first occurrence you receive one warning and we ask you for an explanation.
If it happens again:
Shared device / multiple IPs — all involved profiles are terminated, with no refund.
Unauthorized third-party payment — we close the account of the person who did not purchase the challenge themselves.
✅ Can I get the restrictions lifted?
Yes, we can review the necessity of the Consistency Rules application on an individual basis after 3-6 months of successful trading, and decide to lift the restrictions if satisfied with your progress.
After 3–6 months of adjusted trading, you can ask us to re-evaluate the measures — restrictions have been lifted for traders in the past.
💬 A few important notes:
If your account is breached due to a clear violation of a hard breach rule (e.g. Daily Loss Limit, Max Loss Limit, prohibited trading practices), no refund or payout is issued
If you're flagged under potentially Unsustainable trading patterns, you'll still have the option to request an immediate termination of our cooperation, and get a pending payout or refund for the active accounts, no questions asked
You'll always be informed by email about any measure applied to your accounts
📌 Bottom line?
If you trade with structure and purpose, our rules won't get in your way.
But if your strategy depends on oversized bets, manipulation, or shortcuts—it won't last here.
We're building a launchpad for real traders—and only real strategies take off. 🚀
