- It is not allowed to have more than 10% of your total lot volume coming from tick scalping trades
- Any trade lasting less than 10 seconds falls under our tick scalping definition

- Instant Funding: 1.5%. The first confirmed breach produces a formal warning. From the second confirmed breach onward, each separate event records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
- Funded Challenge and Funded Pro: 2%. Each confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
- Challenge and Pro evaluation phases: 2%. It is monitored for the progression report but does not trigger a real-time strike or account closure.
- Solo FX: 2.5% during Simulated Funded Status only. A confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
Open trades: 3%
News trading is allowed. For Solo FX, the Dashboard and launch announcement prohibit news straddling, but Schedule 10A-1 disapplies the Terms section that prohibits it. Confirm this contradiction with Finotive before trading news.
30 days
30 days
Pro accounts — from the 31st funded day
- Weekly trade count and instrument volume must remain within ±25% of the averages recorded during the Pro Challenge and the first 30 funded days.
- During every rolling 90-day period, realised and unrealised profit, including rewards already paid, must total at least 5% of the initial balance.
- Breaching either condition downgrades the account to the equivalent standard funded account and permanently removes the Pro benefits.
Instant Funding Standard and Lite
- At payout, the single most profitable closed trade must contribute less than 60% of total positive realised profit. Requesting a payout while the condition remains active records one Conditional Strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
Solo FX
- No specific consistency rule or single-trade profit dependency.
Fintokei applies Consistency Rules to promote sustainable trading and prevent gambling-style or high-risk behavior. These rules are used only after warnings and can affect either a single account or a trader's entire profile, depending on the severity. When applied, traders are notified with details about the restrictions and next steps.
- Reduced leverage (e.g., 1:10 for FX, 1:5 for other instruments)
- Daily profit and loss caps (+1% / -1% of starting balance)
- Inability to advance in the Scaling program
- Restrictions on new evaluation program purchases
These rules are intended as a safety layer, not a penalty, and can be lifted after 3–6 months of consistent, responsible trading.
Only StartTrader
Max 40% of your profit target can come from 1 day
Weekend holding is available through the optional Weekend Holding Add-On on Instant Funding accounts. Without it, all non-crypto positions must be closed before Friday's 17:00 New York market close; Finotive recommends closing at least 10 minutes earlier. Each confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%. Five cumulative strikes permanently close the account.
- Excessive notional volume (not applicable to Solo FX; its exposure is governed by 1:33 margin)
- High-frequency stacking, including correlated instruments (not a Solo FX-specific restriction; latency arbitrage and execution abuse remain prohibited)
- Martingale or grid strategies
- News straddling (the Solo FX dashboard and announcement prohibit it, but Schedule 10A-1 disapplies section 7.9; confirm with support)
- Using ultra-tight stops just to mask oversized lots
- Copying trades from other persons' signals
- Using services to pass prop trading evaluations
- Tick scalping
- HFT
