What is the definition of sharing 1 electronic device used for trading between multiple Customers?

Updated this week

At Fintokei, we expect each trader to use their own personal trading setup. That means your account activity should come from devices (laptop, PC, phone) and networks that are not shared with other clients—especially for active trading.


⚠️ What do we mean by “device sharing”?

Device sharing refers to situations where multiple traders use the same physical device (computer, tablet, or mobile) to access and actively trade their Fintokei accounts.

For example:

• Two traders logging in to their Fintokei platforms from the same laptop

• A group of traders using the same PC or VPS to manually execute trades

• A trading “team” that passes around one device for multiple Fintokei accounts

Even if each trader has a separate login, shared device activity can cause serious issues with platform security and data integrity.


❌ Why it’s not allowed

• It can be used to bypass our max allocation limits

• It may indicate copy trading or coordinated activity, which is forbidden

• It creates problems with KYC verification and risk monitoring

• It makes it harder for us to evaluate trading based on individual skill


✅ What’s allowed?

• You can access your account from multiple personal devices as long as you’re the only one trading from those devices

• If you need to switch devices (e.g. laptop to phone), that’s fine

• Using a personal VPS is allowed—but not if it’s shared by other traders


🔍 What happens if it’s detected?

We are regularly monitoring the activity on all trading accounts. In case we identify one or more situations with the above-described behavior, we may take any of the following actions:

• Send a warning and ask for explanations

• Give you an exception and allow you to continue, or request to stop such practice

• If not given the exception and yet repeated, breach the accounts and block access to the platform for all clients / profiles involved

No refunds or payouts will be issued for breached accounts

👀 For more information please read the detailed description of our warning system and risk management procedures in this FAQ article.


📌 Final reminder

Each trader should have:

✅ One unique identity

✅ One Fintokei profile

✅ Own device setup, not used by anyone else

Using more electronic devices (such as your desktop PC, portable laptop and a mobile phone) to access the platform and to place trades by one person is perfectly fine.

Sharing the devices to manage or trade across multiple users—even with good intentions—however violates our rules and can result in account restrictions or termination.

Fintokei backs individual traders, not coordinated systems.
