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 or *5 separate trading days before they can request a payout or pass an evaluation phase.
*applicable for SwiftTrader accounts purchased after August 18, 2025.
✅ What exactly counts as a trading day?
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 the server time*
Summer time (from around late March) is GMT+3.
Winter time (from around early November) is GMT+2.
✅ You do not need to open or close trades each day.
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.
📌 This rule applies to:
• All StartTrader, SwiftTrader and ProTrader accounts
• Both during evaluation phases and virtually funded phases when requesting payouts
💡 Why we apply this rule
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.
⚠️ What if I only traded one or two days?
If you try to pass an evaluation or request a payout with fewer than 3 or in case of SwiftTrader with 5 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 or 5 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.
🧠 Final thought
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.
