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
