Meet the sharpest tool in our shed: ProTrader Slim.
ProTrader Slim is a new Promo Offer within the ProTrader family. It was designed specifically for traders who demand razor-thin precision to execute their strategies. While it follows the standard rules of our flagship ProTrader program, it comes with a distinct set of advantages and challenges for the ambitious traders.
How is it different from the standard ProTrader? The main difference lies in the Spreads. ProTrader Slim operates within a proprietary optimized simulation environment designed in cooperation with our liquidity providers to deliver more favorable trading conditions. You will get spreads starting from zero on major FX pairs, while enjoying tighter pricing on Gold (XAUUSD) and reduced spreads on all other FX pairs, including exotic ones. These enhanced conditions are typically applied between 00:00 UTC and 17:00 UTC (which corresponds to 9:00 AM and 2:00 AM JST the next day), supporting your most active hours during the Tokyo and London sessions
Because of this enhanced trading environment, the ProTrader Slim program is priced higher than our standard ProTrader challenge. We view this not as a cost, but as an investment for the premium infrastructure exceeding the standard global liquidity benchmarks.
Which plans are available? This Promo offer is exclusive to our Japanese Yen (JPY) accounts and available only for those who access or use the Fintokei Services from the territory of Japan or who use Japanese as the primary communication language.
You can select ProTrader Slim for the following challenges:
Crystal Slim
Pearl Slim

Sapphire Slim
Note: The Topaz and Emerald challenges are not available for the ProTrader Slim offer.

Standard symbols (e.g., EURUSD) will remain inactive (read-only).
⚠️ Important: Understanding Market Depth & Slippage
We believe in being honest and transparent: spreads and market depth are not fixed and may dynamically adjust during high volatility or major news releases.
The "Zero" spread applies only to the first layer of the market depth liquidity (usually called the “Top of the Book” market depth tier). In the real market, the "Top of the Book" refers to the very best buy (Bid) and sell (Ask) prices currently available for a specific instrument. Real-world global liquidity conditions can vary and may involve wider spreads depending on market activity. ProTrader Slim operates within a proprietary optimized simulation environment developed in cooperation with our liquidity providers. This setup allows for structured spread parameters designed to deliver more favorable trading conditions compared to standard retail market environments, supporting traders in demonstrating their strategy under competitive execution conditions.
However, this zero-spread pricing is only available for a specific trade volume at this first layer of the market depth liquidity. If your order size exceeds the available volume at the zero price, you may experience slippage, meaning the remainder of your trade will be filled at the next best available price. To minimize slippage, please consider placing more smaller trades instead of one larger one.
How to check available volume (Depth of Market) in MT5:
We highly recommend checking the liquidity before placing large trades to ensure you get the price you expect.
1. Open your MT5 platform.
2. Find the instrument with the "z" suffix (e.g., USDJPYz) in the Market Watch window.
3. Right-click on the instrument and select "Depth of Market" (or press Alt + B).
4. A window will appear showing the available volume (liquidity) at the current Bid and Ask prices.
