Fintokei tracks the IP addresses used to access your trading accounts to ensure fair use and to prevent abuse, manipulation, or identity fraud.
If we detect unusual IP activity—such as logging in from multiple countries in a short period, or using VPNs, proxies, or anonymizers to mask your location—it can raise red flags and lead to account restrictions or a breach.
⚠️ What exactly do we mean?
You may be in breach of our policy if:
• You connect to your Fintokei account from many different countries within a short timeframe, especially if it doesn’t match your personal or travel history
• You consistently use VPNs or proxy servers to hide or rotate your IP address
• You use server-based tools (e.g. shared VPS) located in one country while your personal identity is registered in another—without explanation
In short: if your connection history shows signs of deliberate masking or manipulation, we may consider it a violation of our platform integrity rules.
❌ Why this is a problem
• It may indicate account sharing, copy trading, or coordinated team trading
• It may be used to bypass location-based restrictions (such as a list of banned countries, or similar)
• It makes it difficult for us to ensure the account truly belongs to the verified trader
✅ What’s allowed?
We understand that:
• You might occasionally travel and log in from another country—that’s okay
• You may use a personal VPS or secure trading environment for connection stability—that’s fine too
• You may use a trade copier service to copy your own trades across multiple platforms—that’s fine too
But:
📌 You should be able to explain and justify your IP activity if requested.
If it looks suspicious and you can’t explain it, we may apply restrictions.
🔍 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, terminate the accounts and block access to the platform for all clients / profiles involved
• No refunds or payouts will be issued for any breached accounts
👀 For more information please read the detailed description of our warning system and risk management procedures in this FAQ article.
🔐 Final note
We’re not tracking your location to punish anyone—we do it to protect our traders and ensure a fair platform for all.
If your trading is legit, structured, and consistent, you have nothing to worry about.
But if you’re using tools to mask, manipulate, or coordinate access, it won’t go unnoticed.
Fintokei backs real, individual traders—not hidden networks.
