Fintokei applies Consistency Rules to guide traders toward a more sustainable performance and to protect the platform from strategies that rely on luck, loopholes, or aggressive risk-taking.
These restrictions are not part of the standard evaluation conditions, and we apply them only to a very minor part of our traders, usually after the previous warnings and after decreasing the limit for the Maximum Risk on open trades from 3% to 1%.
They’re used only after we detect signs of gambling-style behavior or unsustainable patterns, but they can be applied even if the trader technically followed the basic rules.
💡 How and when are Consistency Rules applied?
🧑🏻💻 On the client level
The restrictions in this case apply to all existing and future accounts under your profile at Fintokei.
This happens in more serious cases, such as:
After receiving 6 or more warnings across different accounts without visible change
When your overall profile shows irresponsible trading; for example, repeated breaches due to high-risk behavior
If your trading is flagged as unsustainable (e.g. performs like randomness, or leads to cumulative net losses)
If we detect patterns similar to system abuse (e.g. hedging across accounts, copy trading behavior, etc.), but do not have proof of such malicious activity
These cases go beyond just one account, they reflect your overall approach, and we have to step in at the profile level to protect platform integrity.
🔍 What happens when Consistency Rules need to be applied?
You’ll always receive a clear email explanation of the issue, and the details about the next course of actions as well as about the exact details of the risk-limiting restrictions to be applied to your account(s).
Currently, the most commonly applicable set of Consistency rules is the following:
The leverage is reduced to 1:10 for FX and 1:5 for all the other instruments.
Daily Profit Cap: Maximum daily profit will be capped at +1% (calculated from the Starting balance).
You must keep your maximum risk on open trades at or below 1%.
Your Loyalty Program will be frozen. Your current Tier and active Boosts will remain available and visible, however you won’t earn additional Experience Points (XP) until the freeze is lifted.
In some cases, restrictions on new purchases of our Evaluation programs.
This can however be individual to every particular client, depending on their overall trading performance and other factors.
💡 Can the Consistency Rules be 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.
We will monitor your account and contact you if we see grounds for reassessment.
📌 Final word
What is important to mention is that these rules are designed to help you stay within realistic boundaries, not to punish you.
Consistency Rules are not a penalty, they’re a safety layer.
They protect you (and us) from unsustainable trading and help you transition into a trader who can survive the real markets. Please also read this FAQ article about Who are we looking for and why even a 1% per week is actually an impressive performance?
If your strategy really is solid and repeatable, we admit these rules might slow you down. But there must always be a reason why we decided to apply the restrictions, and they are not set forever!
If, on the other hand, your approach relies on all-in bets, one-hit wins, or randomness then you’ll likely hit a wall here.
Fintokei backs consistent, structured, real traders.
That’s how we build something that lasts. 💼🚀
