At Fintokei, we welcome a wide variety of trading styles—as long as they’re fair, responsible, and transparent.
But some practices cross the line and are considered prohibited, regardless of whether they produce short-term profit.
These are behaviors that manipulate the system, break the rules, create an unfair advantage, or are simply not possible to replicate in real market conditions.
Engaging in any of them can result in breach of your account or even permanent ban from the platform.
❌ The list of prohibited trading practices includes:
Latency arbitrage - LINK
Tick scalping - LINK
Opening multiple profiles under the same identity - LINK
Share 1 electronic device used for trading between multiple Customers - LINK

All of these prohibited trading practices have their own definition in our FAQs. Should you be interested, feel free to click on the name of prohibited trading practice and you will be redirected to the particular definition.
Kindly be advised that all definitions apply to general instances and explanations, and the company retains the privilege to assess each case on an individual basis.
