What does the rule "Minimum 3 days of trading” mean?

At Fintokei, we don’t just want to see that you can hit a number—we want to see how you trade to get there.

That’s why we require all traders to be active for at least 3 separate trading days before they can request a payout or pass an evaluation phase.

A trading day counts when:

• You open at least one trade, regardless of whether you close it on the same day or leave it open

• The trade is executed and has a real market outcome (i.e. not canceled or immediately closed)

• The activity happens on a distinct calendar day, based on UTC time (00:00 to 00:00)

For example:

If you open a trade on Monday and keep it running until Wednesday, with the trade active during Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, that counts as 3 trading days — even if you don’t open or close anything else during that time.

As long as there’s some active trade during a day, it counts as one trading day.

• All StartTrader and ProTrader virtually funded programs

• Both during evaluation phases and when requesting payouts

This rule exists to ensure that:

• You’re not completing the challenge or payout with one lucky trade

• Your trading shows some level of repeatability

• We have enough data to analyze your approach fairly

In short: it’s not just about if you made money—it’s about how you traded to get there.

If you try to pass an evaluation or request a payout with fewer than 3 trading days:

• You’ll be asked to continue trading until the requirement is met

• You’ll keep your progress—nothing gets lost

• Once the 3 days are completed, the payout or progression will continue as normal

There’s no penalty—just a pause to make sure we’re evaluating you properly.

This rule isn’t a blocker—it’s a safety net.

It protects the integrity of the platform, and it helps you build better trading habits.

📌 If your strategy is solid and repeatable, this rule will never get in your way.

And if you’re aiming for long-term consistency, then you’re already thinking the right way.
